Lucky Bass: Mega Cash Collect™ is an ocean-themed slot game developed by Playtech. The game features a 5-reel, 30-payline layout with an underwater fishing adventure theme. The slot incorporates various symbols related to fishing and treasure hunting, including a fisherman, fish, treasure chests, and nautical elements.
The game's main attraction is its Mega Cash Collect™ Feature, which is triggered by landing Cash Collect™ symbols on specific reels along with coin symbols. There are four types of coin symbols in the game: Cash Bass (with cash values), Free Games (with free spin amounts), Diamond, and Harpoon symbols. Each of these symbols offers different rewards when collected.
The Wild symbol, represented by a treasure chest, can substitute for all symbols except the Cash Collect™ and coin symbols. During the Free Games feature, a Special Wild symbol (an anchor) can also appear, triggering the Dropping Wilds feature when collected.
The Free Games Feature is a significant aspect of the game, triggered by landing Cash Collect™ symbols and Free Games coin symbols simultaneously. During Free Games, 5 extra locked rows are added to the reels, which can be unlocked by collecting Harpoon symbols. The feature also includes locked Cash Collect™ symbols that remain in place for a certain number of spins, collecting all coin symbols that land on the reels.
Other bonus features include:
- Cash Collect™ Prizes: Triggered by landing Cash Collect™ and Diamond symbols, offering four prize tiers (GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR, and MINI).
- Dropping Wilds: During Free Games, Special Wild symbols can create stacks of Wild symbols with multipliers.
- Cash Spreader Feature: A special symbol that spreads additional coins or Cash Collect™ symbols on the extra reels during Free Games.
- Bubble Catch Feature: Bubbles that can catch and move coin symbols, potentially increasing their value.
- Fish Swarm and Harpoon Feature: Random events that can add Wild symbols, Cash Collect™ symbols, or increase coin values.
The game also offers an Extra Bet mode, which increases the chance of triggering the Free Games feature at the cost of a higher bet. Additionally, there's a Buy Feature option allowing players to directly access the Free Games feature for a set price.
An interesting aspect of Lucky Bass: Mega Cash Collect™ is its complex interplay of features during the Free Games, with locked rows, moving bubbles, and multiple ways to collect and increase coin values, creating a dynamic and potentially rewarding gameplay experience.
