Big Bass Bonanza Keeping it Reel

Big Bass – Keeping it Reel is a video slot game developed by Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom. It adheres to a classic fishing theme, presenting a lighthearted and cheerful atmosphere. The game utilizes a standard 5-reel, 10-payline layout.

Base Game Play:

Wins are achieved by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels, beginning from the leftmost reel and progressing rightwards. The slot features a selection of symbols, including low-value playing card symbols (10-A) and high-value fishing-themed symbols such as various fish species, tackle boxes, dragonflies, fishing reels, and floats.

Free Spins Bonus Round:

The core gameplay centers around the Free Spins bonus round, triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols. These symbols award 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. There's an additional chance to activate the bonus round with only 2 scatters landing, as the game offers the possibility of hooking a third scatter symbol onto the reels.

During free spins, two special symbols come into play: Wilds and Golden Wilds. Wild symbols function as substitutes for all symbols except scatters, facilitating the completion of winning combinations. Golden Wilds offer an enhanced benefit. They collect the value of any fish symbols that land on the reels simultaneously and also award the value stored within a designated prize net.

Fish Money Symbols and Prize Net:

Fish money symbols are another key element during free spins. Each fish symbol displays a randomly assigned cash value. If a fish money symbol lands concurrently with a wild symbol (either regular or golden), its value is collected and contributes to the player's total win amount. However, if a fish money symbol lands without a wild symbol present, its value is added to a separate prize net displayed above the reels.

This prize net introduces a layer of strategic tension. On each free spin where a wild symbol doesn't land, a random fish escapes from the net, diminishing its total value. This mechanic adds an element of anticipation, as players strive to land a wild symbol and collect the remaining fish values before they disappear.

Multiplier Trail:

The game incorporates a Multiplier Trail mechanic. Each time a wild symbol lands during free spins, it's collected on the multiplier trail. Collecting 4 wilds retriggers 10 extra free spins with a multiplier applied to all fish money symbol collections (starting at x2). The multiplier increases with each subsequent collection of 4 wilds (up to x10), offering the potential for significantly amplified wins during the extended free spins.
