As this is a megaways slot, there are 6 reels with an additional reel across the top and and 2 up to 7 rows and offers up to 46,656 different ways to win with each and every spin you make thanks to the tumbling/cascading reels feature. Wins are formed by matching at least three symbols on adjacent reels beginning at the leftmost reel. Reels 1 and 6 can have up to 6 symbols each, whilst reels 2 to 5 can have up to 5 symbols each plus one additional top reel.
The tumbles keep things interesting which means that each time a player lands a winning combination the combination will be highlighted and removed from the reels allowing new symbols to cascade down and take their place. These new symbols may form a winning combination of their own and cause a chain reaction of symbol wins which can lead to some great payouts. Wagering begins at a mere 0.20 minimum per bet which nicely accommodates novice or more casual punters and the high rollers will be content with the top wagers which sit at 100.00$ per spin. This video slot carries a RTP (Return to Player) which varies from between 94.62% up to 96.70% and volatility/slot variance is high so most wins will be smaller in nature.The most than can be won per spin is 4,000x players stake and the bigger wins will come from the free spins and the money symbol which can see multipliers up to 10x applied.
The visuals embrace the fishing theme well with a vibrant blue sea with fish swimming in the deep with a sunrise visible at the top to the transparent reels complete with the sound of seagulls. The symbols include the main character the fisherman with his fishing gear and tackle with a rod, a float, a lure and a tackle box, fish and dragonflies. Low paying symbols are represented by the playing cards 10 through to Ace and these reward players with wins from between 0.1 and 0.2x bet for 3 of a kind, increasing to wins between 0.8 and 1,75x bet for 6 of a kind. At the top end of payouts the tackle boxes, fishing rods and dragonflies award wins between 0.25 and 1x bet for 3 of a kind increasing to between 2x and 7.5x players bets for 6 of a kind matches. The most lucrative symbol is the fishing float which pays up an impressive 50x bet for 6 of a kind wins. The wild symbol is shown as the turquoise fishing net and this appears only on the top row across reels 2 to 5 substituting for all the other symbols with the exception of the fisherman symbols and scatter symbols which are represented by the bass fish leaping out of the water and this appears on all 6 reels.
Big Bass Bonanza Megaways slot has four bonus features. With regular tumbles it is all about the free spins feature where there are cash prizes from the money fish symbols and with a couple of random extras thrown in players can be assured of guaranteed wins. The free spins feature is triggered when players hit 3 or more bass scatter symbols anywhere on the reels in the base game. Between 3 to 5 scatters will give players 10, 15 or 20 free spins and during these free spins the fisherman symbol can appear on all the reels. Each of these fisherman symbols that lands will collect all the values from the money fish symbols on the screen and every 4th fisherman symbol collected will retrigger the feature giving players 10 more free spins and a multiplier for money symbol collection. This multiplier increases with each retrigger so players can get an increased multiplier (2x, 3x and 10x for the first, second and third retriggers).
During the free spins there are 2 more random features which help players win yet more and this is when one or two fishermen symbols appear and the Dynamite animation feature comes into play were money symbols appear in random positions. The other feature is the random Bazooka feature which happens when fishermen are present but no money symbols are and transforms all the symbols except the fishermen for yet another additional chance for players to collect some nice cash rewards.
