Big Bass Halloween 2 review

Theme and Style

Big Bass Halloween 2 is an underwater-themed adventure with the Big Bass franchise.

As players may have already guessed from the title of the sequel, there is a Halloween twist to it.

A fisherman takes pride of place on the board, but there is something spooky about this title. Among the other symbols that will freak out players, are the infected bugs and the chainsaw.

Players will be thrust into a terrifying experience from the moment they step into the base game, and there is an authentic feel pervading this Pragmatic Play title.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack for this game is very spooky, but those accustomed to watching scary films, such as Friday the 13th and Halloween will know what we’re talking about!

There are some spooky notes played throughout to heighten the tension, but players should keep the audio on, as they progress through the game.

On the animation side of things, the graphics embody what you would expect from this game.

The fisherman comes into his own as a chainsaw-wielding mechanic, and the artwork moves on from the previous Big Bass game.

Gameplay

Big Bass Halloween 2 is typical in terms of grid structure. It is set on a 5x3 gaming matrix, and players will be paid out if they land at least 3 matching symbols.

Lines will start from the foremost left row, and the only exception is that the zombie Fisherman will deliver payouts for 2 identical symbols on the same payline.

The fisherman with the chainsaw represents the Wild symbol, so he will substitute for all other regular symbols except for Scatters. Of the regular symbols, the truck is the most valuable, paying out up to 200x your bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. Fish of any kind, meanwhile, will pay up to 20x your bet.

Royalties, meanwhile, are the minor symbols attached to this game. They will pay up to a total of 10x your stake, while the maximum win available for this title is 5,000x your wager.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The water may be murky and frightful, and as already mentioned, the Chainsaw Fisherman denotes the Wild in this title.

In terms of other symbols, the Fish are the Scatters and can provide some tasty payouts. As well as line wins, there are Money symbols that will carry cash rewards, which can be accrued during the bonus round.

Ultimately, the size of the fish will determine the overall value, and it can be worth up to 50x your bet. On the rare occasion, it could equal the maximum win ceiling for this game (5,000x your wager).

The Wild Fisherman takes on the role of cash collector, but players must activate the bonus round first. 3, 4, or 5 Scatters will initially award either 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively.

But if you only land 2 Scatters, a Hook can pull one of the non-Scatter reels to show another one and trigger the bonus. There is no guarantee here that the modifiers will be successful.

When the Free Spins begin, there will be up to 5 game modifiers. Among the rewards available here, include 2 extra free spins and more Fisherman. The latter will give players a greater chance of landing more Fisherman Wilds.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

Big Halloween has a slot return to player (RTP) of 96.71%, which is a considerable amount above the industry-expected 96% average.

The range of bets available starts from $/£/€0.10 per spin, stretching to a maximum of $/£/€250 per spin. Nevertheless, this should suit players of all budgets.

The high volatility of Big Bass Halloween 2 makes it a good match for our preferred slot machine strategies. Our slot strategies target games that possess the highest possible volatility and RTP, so this game ticks both boxes.

Conclusion

Big Bass Halloween 2 fulfills many criteria on the production front, and it looks a bit more sophisticated on the animation side compared to the original in the franchise.

The gameplay is straightforward, and the soundtrack gives this underwater/horror-themed slot something for players to enjoy.

Everything is done meticulously, and the high RTP of this slot makes it appealing. The free spins round has the chance to claim some big wins, and those players who like horror-style slots will have something to sink their teeth into.
