Big Bass Bonanza Megaways Slots

Ready to go on a fishing trip and reel in some potential huge wins? Big Bass Bonanza Megaways returns, but this time with a Megaways mechanic—hence the name. This third installment in the series was launched by Reel Kingdom, partners with Pragmatic Play, in November 2021.

Reel Kingdom's most famous titles include the popular Big Bass series. Their games offer plenty of fun features such as free spins and high maximum win potential. The fun and entertaining Big Bass Bonanza Megaways certainly does not disappoint, topping out at 4,000x your bet—nearly double the original. There are extra features like a tumble feature, money symbols, and free spins that ramp up the overall win potential and gaming experience.

Gameplay

As this is a Megaways slot, there are 6 reels with an additional reel across the top and 2 to 7 rows, offering up to 46,656 different ways to win with each spin 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 the additional top reel.

The tumbles keep things interesting. Each time you land a winning combination, it is highlighted and removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to cascade down and take their place. These new symbols may form additional winning combinations, causing a chain reaction of wins that can lead to great payouts.

Wagering begins at a mere 0.20 per bet, accommodating novice or casual punters. High rollers will be content with top wagers of 100 per spin. This video slot has an RTP varying from 94.62% to 96.70% with high volatility, meaning most wins are smaller. The maximum win per spin is 4,000x your stake, with bigger wins coming from free spins and money symbols featuring multipliers up to 10x.

Symbols and Payouts

The visuals embrace the fishing theme with a vibrant blue sea, fish swimming in the deep, a sunrise, and seagull sounds. Transparent reels overlay the scene.

Symbols include the fisherman with his gear: rod, float, lure, tackle box, fish, and dragonflies. Low-paying symbols are 10 through Ace, rewarding 0.1 to 0.2x bet for 3-of-a-kind, up to 0.8 to 1.75x for 6-of-a-kind.

Higher-paying tackle boxes, fishing rods, and dragonflies pay 0.25 to 1x for 3-of-a-kind, up to 2x to 7.5x player's bet for 6-of-a-kind.

The most lucrative is the fishing float at 50x for 6-of-a-kind.

The wild is the turquoise fishing net on the top row across reels 2 to 5, substituting for all except fisherman and scatters. Scatters are bass fish on all 6 reels.

Bonus Features

Big Bass Bonanza Megaways has four bonus features. Regular tumbles lead to the free spins where cash prizes come from money fish symbols, plus random extras for guaranteed wins.

The free spins feature triggers with 3+ bass scatters: 10, 15, or 20 spins for 3 to 5 scatters. Fisherman symbols appear on all reels, collecting values from money fish. Every 4th fisherman retriggers 10 more spins with a multiplier (starting at 2x, increasing to 3x, 10x, etc.).

Random features in free spins: Dynamite (with 1-2 fishermen, money symbols appear randomly). Bazooka (fishermen present but no money symbols, transforms other symbols except fishermen into money symbols).

Mobile Compatibility

Thanks to HTML5 technology, Big Bass Bonanza Megaways is fully mobile-optimized for seamless play on Android, iOS, tablets, and desktop from anywhere.
