Big Money Bass Review

This studio is trying hard to reach the mainstream mark by creating various slot experiences. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at one of those. It’s called Big Money Bass, and it takes place on a playing field with 5 reels, 5 rows and 1,024 ways to win.

Fishing-themed games have been a staple on the online slot gaming scene for quite a while now, and Big Money Bass doesn’t really innovate in this regard. At the same time, it’s clear that its designers invested a lot of time and hard work into making the slot look really good - and it shows! The symbols are well-crafted, and there are also a lot of animations for you to look forward to, so we’re happy with the audiovisual side of things.

The volatility level of the Big Money Bass online slot is high, and its jackpot clocks in at 5,000x your bet. The game’s betting range is then geared mainly towards casual players, as it goes from £0.20 to just £20 per spin. Finally, we also have to add that Big Money Bass comes with RTP ranges, and that you can find it with RTPs between 94.52% and 95.52%. That’s well below average, unfortunately, and it’s a minus that won’t please anyone.

Big Money Bass Slot Features

The paytable of Big Money Bass is dynamic, which means that you can always easily check how much you stand to win for each of the available combinations. There are then 9 pay symbols in total. First up, there are three card ranks from Queens to Aces, which all pay less than 1x your bet for a full set. Then, there are two fishing equipment symbols, which are both worth 1x your bet for a full combination. Finally, there are 4 high-paying fish symbols, with the top-paying orange fish bringing you 6x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

In addition to pay symbols, the reels also contain Rainbow Fish Wilds and Power Up Fish symbols. Rainbow Fish Wilds can substitute for any of the pay symbols in winning combos, though they can’t appear on reel 1. Power Up Fish symbols are then available during the Hold and Re-Spin feature.

To trigger the Hold and Re-Spin feature, you have to land a winning combination that’s made up of the game’s high-paying fish symbols and/or Wilds. Then, you’ll get a number of free spins with those symbols locked in place, and your goal is to find new fish symbols and win multipliers. It’s basically a Hold and Win feature of sorts, and you can also land Power Up Fish symbols. These symbols reset your number of respins and increase the respins counter by 1 as well, so they can certainly keep the feature going for a while!

Next, there are four randomly-triggered features that can show up pretty much at any point of the Hold and Re-Spin feature. The Catch a Fish feature will net you an extra spin and an extra multiplier, the Rebait the Line feature will reset the respins counter, the Berserker Fish feature will eat up to 10 fish symbols and collect their multipliers, and the Dynamite Fishing feature will explode a number of fish symbols to collect their multipliers.

Finally, there are also two side-bet options that you can use whenever you want for a set price. First, there’s the Bonus Rush option that can get you right to the Hold and Re-Spin feature. Second, there’s the Clusterspin option that allows you to bet on the outcome of the next several spins.

Review Summary

All in all, Big Money Bass is one of the freshest fish-themed online slots we’ve seen for quite a while, and we certainly appreciate its thematic features and interesting side-bet options. Throw in its high production values, and you’ve got yourself a hidden gem of sorts, though it does come with one minus in its lowish theoretical RTPs.
