Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler review

Theme and Style

Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler scales the Big Bass franchise down to a three-by-three grid. However, the smaller playing field still preserves the big thrills of this popular fishing-themed slot franchise.

The background is a rich fishing spot above a deep valley of coral. Bubbles rise to give the player a real underwater feel, and occasionally the shadow of a big bass appears briefly in the bottom of the screen.

On the reels, players can find all the usual accoutrements of a fishing trip. There are rods and reels, tackle and hooks, and a selection of fish to try and catch.

This slot will appeal to fans of the Big Bass franchise and to any anglers who want their hobby to overlap with their slot play.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The graphics of Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler are pretty simple. Cartoon drawings of fishing equipment, fish, and the ace to ten symbols.

The music is a relaxing ambient track with a bit of a calypso feel. The spin and win sounds are simple and on point as are the animations on the reels. The background also has a few small animations to give the game some life.

Overall, the effect is one of understated quality.

Gameplay

In keeping with its title, Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler is a three-reel slot with three rows per reel and five win lines.

The gameplay is scaled down too. A simple base game and a simple bonus game make for a gaming experience that isn't to everyone's taste. However, if it is your bag, Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler is a great example of it.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 3,334x the player's bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol in Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and Money symbols.

The Money symbols have a little fish on them as well as a randomly assigned value.

If the player hits three Scatter symbols, the Bonus Feature triggers with 10 free spins.

A random feature can also be triggered which will lower hooks down to fish up three Scatters to trigger the game.

During the Bonus Feature, whenever a Wild symbol lands, it collects the value of all the Money symbols on the reel. This amount is then awarded to the player.

Every fourth Wild retriggers the reel and increases the multiplier to 2x the first time, 3x the second time, and to 10x the third time. The player can retrigger the spins up to three times.

Players can also pay a little extra per spin to get enriched reels on which the bonus will trigger more frequently.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player (RTP) of Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler is a whopping 96.50%, making this slot a nice catch since our yardstick for average is roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.10 up to a maximum of $/£/€250 per spin.

Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler is a medium-high volatility slot. We would prefer a little higher volatility but medium-high is still pretty good, and makes this slot a decent choice for players who pursue our preferred slot machine strategies. This is because these slot strategies target the highest possible volatility and RTP.

Conclusion

Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler is a nice addition to the Big Bass series of slots. The game fills the one-armed bandit niche with some simple gameplay and a small set of reels.

The game delivers a high-quality slot experience with its small package.

When all this is put together with its above-average volatility and RTP, this slot gets a strong recommendation from us.
