Gather your fishing gear and get ready for some big catches in Big Bass Bonanza. The Pragmatic Play product is taking you out fishing for payouts up to 2,100x bet. With five reels and three rows, the 2020 release benefits from 10 fixed paylines and offers a Free Spins feature with retriggers and the bearded Fisherman Wild that collects money values from Fish. Also, the win multiplier can go up to 10x during freebies, but to get it, players need to retrigger the feature more than twice. Fish land both as normal symbols and icons that bring instant win when the Wild lands next to them.
Do not worry, you will not need snorkeling equipment, even though the reels are set underwater. As for the rules, they are quite simple, because the gameplay is pretty standard. Big Bass Bonanza features five reels, three rows and benefits from 10 fixed paylines. The slot pays left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Players need at least three of a kind to start landing wins. Betting starts at $0.10, so this will please penny punters. If you are one of those high rollers, set the bet to the max, up to $250.
Colourful, cartoonish visuals, alongside a jolly soundtrack is waiting for you when you start spinning the reels, despite the fact that you need some peace and quiet when on a fishing trip. There are several types of Fish acting as regular icons, as well as Boxes with Tackle, Flies, and Fishing Rods. The Float is the most important high-value symbol, offering 200x stake. The bearded Fisherman is the Wild that appears only in free spins, substitutes for regular symbols and collects instant wins. The Scatter is there to trigger free spins.
When talking about special features, there is only one, but it offers plenty of action. Fish Scatters trigger free spins. Land three, four, or five of them and you will get 10, 15, or 20 free spins to begin with. Once freebies start, you will meet you fellow Fisherman, who acts as a Wild. Now, green Fish icons that appear with certain values on them now become more important, thanks to the arrival of the Fisherman.
Every time you land the Fisherman on the reels, all values on displayed Fish will be collected instantly. If you land more than one Wild, all values on the Fish will be multiplied by the number of Wilds that are currently on the screen. Furthermore, you get to collect Wilds, since you use the collected Wilds to retrigger the feature. Get four Wilds and you will get 10 extra free spins and a win multiplier of 2x. Four more Wilds will get you 10 more freebies, as well as a 3x multiplier. Finally, after the third retrigger, which comes after collecting 12 Wilds, you get 10 additional free spins and a 10x multiplier.
Fishing has never been more fun, thanks to Big Bass Bonanza. The central attraction of the game is definitely the Free Spins feature, where you get to hang out with the Fisherman Wild and collect instant wins from green Fish. If you are lucky enough, you will trigger up to 50 free spins and take advantage of the 10x multiplier on the final 10 freebies. All in all, the Pragmatic Play title is definitely worth your attention.
