Big Bass Bonanza Reel Action review

Theme and Style

Big Bass Bonanza Reel Action is the latest addition to Pragmatic Play's popular Big Bass Bonanza slot series. The series is centred around a fisherman as he attempts to reel in a big win.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

If you have played any of the previous Big Bass Bonanza slots, you will know what to expect from the slot visually. The reels are situated just below the surface, with little bubbles travelling up and down the screen used to distinguish them from one another.

The reels are occupied by fishing equipment, Fish Money symbols, and the Fisherman Wild. This is all brought to life by an upbeat soundtrack that keeps a smile on your face as you play.

Gameplay

Big Bass Bonanza Reel Spin takes place on a 5x3 game grid with 10 active paylines on every spin. To land a win, players need to land three or more matching symbols on a payline.

The game comes with an ante-bet feature that increases the chance of triggering the bonus rounds if you increase your stake by 50%. This may not be available in all markets and it does not change the make-up or gameplay of the base game.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

If you’re playing Big Bass Bonanza Reel Action and thinking it all feels very familiar, that’s because it is. The slot is essentially a remake of the original Big Bass Bonanza game with a few additional side-bets and adjustments to the math model.

The bonuses are all the same. Of course, the main bonus is the Free Spins round. This is triggered when players land three or more Scatters. Three, four, or five trigger 10, 15, or 20 spins, respectively.

During the round, if the Money Fish Symbols land on the first four reels at the same time as the Fisherman Wild on the fifth, they are collected and paid out. As well as this, the Wilds are collected on a meter above the reels. Every four Wilds collected triggers additional spins, with a win multiplier being applied. These are x2, x3, and x10 on the first three triggers, respectively.

It is also possible for random Fish Money Symbols to be added to the grid if a Fisherman Wild appears on the fifth reel. Multiple Fisherman Wild can also appear on the fifth reel. If this happens, each of them collects the Money symbols.

The big addition to the game is the option to buy your way into the bonus round for 100x your stake. This may not be available in all markets, with the UK banning Buy Bonus features.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

Big Bass Bonanza Reel Action makes a few adjustments to the math model from the original game. The RTP is down to 96.50% from 96.71% in the first game. However, this is still an impressive rating and is higher than average according to our slot strategy guide.

Pragmatic Play has given the slot a 4/5 volatility rating. It has a maximum win of 2,100x your stake.

Conclusion

Pragmatic Play keeps the Big Bass Bonanza hype train rolling with Big Bass Bonanza Reel Action. The slot is essentially a remake of the original with the addition of a Buy Bonus feature and an ante-bet. The high RTP and the bonuses are still selling points, but there is literally nothing here that you have not seen from the Big Bass series before.
