ABOUT
The Big Bass series by Pragmatic Play continues to reel us in by introducing the Big Bass Mission Fishin’ slot. This 17th entry in the beloved fishing-themed saga introduces a thrilling twist: the trusty fisherman is now geared up in a sleek black wetsuit, ready for some covert nighttime spearfishing.
Betting Options and Bonus Features
Set against a backdrop of bubbling waters, the game’s 5 reels and 3 rows are home to a variety of symbols, all adding to the aquatic adventure. The game boasts 10 paylines and a high volatility rating, making for an exhilarating experience with an RTP of 96.50%.
The symbols on the reels include the standard Ten to Ace card ranks, paying out modestly between 5 to 10x your bet for five of a kind. More lucrative are the fish Money Symbols, tackle boxes, harpoon guns, dragonflies, and boats, with payouts ranging from 20 to 200x the bet for five in a row. The Fish Money Symbols are especially intriguing, as they carry random values between 2x to 5,000x your bet on each spin, and their true potential shines during the free spins feature when combined with the wild fisherman symbol.
True to the Big Bass tradition, the Wild Fisherman symbol acts as a substitute for all symbols except Money and Scatter symbols. The Fisherman Wild not only helps complete winning lines but also plays a crucial role in collecting fish Money Symbols during the bonus rounds. This installment also introduces a new twist with the Stack The Cash feature, which can be chosen when the bonus round is triggered.
To activate the bonus round, you need to land 3 or more Scatters, which then gives you the option to choose between free spins or the Stack The Cash feature. If you land only 2 Scatters, there's still hope, as a third Scatter can be brought onto the screen by a hook or through respins, adding to the suspense.
When 3, 4, or 5 Scatters trigger the bonus, you receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Before the free spins begin, players can select from various files on the screen to unveil modifiers, such as:
- More Fish: Increases the number of Fish symbols on the reels.
- More Fisherman: Adds extra Wild Fisherman symbols.
- More Dynamites, Hooks, and Bazookas: Enhances the gameplay with additional features.
- Start From Level 2: Jump-starts the progressive feature at level 2.
- +2 Spins: Adds 2 extra free spins to your total, also applying to any retriggers.
During the Free Spins round, each Wild Fisherman symbol collects the values of all Money symbols in view. Collecting every fourth Wild Fisherman symbol awards 10 more free spins and boosts the multiplier for Money Symbols, escalating from x2 at level 2, to x3 at level 3, and x10 at level 4. The game caps retriggers after the fourth level, ensuring the excitement remains high.
The game’s unique features, such as Dynamite Spin, Hook, and Bazooka can randomly trigger during free spins, enhancing the chances of hitting big wins by adding or transforming symbols. Choosing the Stack The Cash feature changes the reels to feature only Fish Coin symbols and blanks. Fish Coins range from 1x to 25x your bet and are collected by robo-crabs below each reel. The feature starts with 4 respins, which reset every time a Fish Coin lands. Additionally, Bombs can drop to double the values of Fish Coins on a reel, increasing the potential payout. This feature can also be purchased for 100x the bet.
