Big Bass Bonanza Megaways Demo & Review – Play for Free

Reel Kingdom, which operates in partnership with Pragmatic Play, was established by a team of people with experience at Astra Games and Barcrest. They push high-volatility game models and bonus cycles, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re fully regulated in Ontario.

Big Bass Bonanza Megaways feels like a professional offshore expedition, where our goal as players is to stay patient for the Money Fish. 

This slot uses a 6-reel Megaways grid where each reel can hold up to 6 or 7 symbols. A horizontal tracker reel sits above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the result is a setup with up to 46,656 ways to win.

Reels, Rows, Paylines big bass bonanza

The default RTP stands at 96.7%, which is comfortably above the industry average. Just be aware that some Canadian operators offer different RTP versions as low as 94.62%. The game is also rated 5/5 on the volatility scale, so the wins are geared to be fairly significant, even though they come around less frequently.

Stakes typically range from $0.20 to $100, which makes the game suitable for casual players and high rollers who want to capitalise on the high-end multipliers in the third retrigger of the free spins.

Betting Range big bass bonanza

The largest payout available is 4,000x your total stake, which is primarily possible during the Free Spins round with a combination of 10x win multipliers and Money Fish. The round ends immediately once you hit that max win ceiling. 

• Fisherman Wild / Collector: Appears only during free spins and substitutes for all symbols. They also "collect" the cash values from Money Fish.
• Bass Scatter: These appear on any of the 6 reels and trigger between 10 and 25 free spins if you land 3 of them anywhere on the grid. 
• Fishing Net Wild: Can only land in the top horizontal row above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. It substitutes for all regular symbols to complete Megaways lines, but it doesn’t collect cash values like the Fisherman.
• Money Fish: These function as standard symbols that explode during Tumbles in the base game. They carry random values from 2x to 4,000x your bet when they appear during the free spins, which the Fisherman then collects.

You need between 3 and 6 Scatters to unlock 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. This is where the Fisherman finally enters the game to act as a Wild and a Collector. The Money Fish fall to the bottom of the reels and stay there until a Fisherman reels in their cash value.

Free Spins Round big bass bonanza

Every Fisherman is collected on a meter above the reels. You’ll retrigger an additional 10 free spins every time you manage to collect 4 of them. You’re also rewarded for retriggering with an increased win multiplier during the additional spins for all collected Money Fish:

• 1st Retrigger: 4 Fishermen = 2x Multiplier
• 2nd Retrigger: 8 Fishermen = 3x Multiplier
• 3rd Retrigger:  12 Fishermen = 10x Multiplier
