Big Bass and the Gold Ness Monster review

Theme and Storyline

Big Bass and the Gold Ness Monster is themed around a Scottish fishing trip.

Players will find themselves on magical Scottish waters, searching for the perfect catch. As they explore the loch, they might just encounter a legendary monster.

This slot is ideal for anyone who loves myths about the Loch Ness Monster.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of Big Bass and the Gold Ness Monster features an entrancing flute melody that brings to mind the traditional music of Scotland. The reels spin with a satisfying click, and digital music helps accentuate wins.

The reels are situated in the cloudy, greenish water of a Scottish loch. Each reel is separated by a line of moving bubbles, adding to the underwater aesthetic. At the bottom of the lake, players will see an ancient castle with schools of fish swimming among the towers. This enhances the sense of mystery around the loch.

Among the symbols are fishing rods, tackle boxes, colorful fish, and vibrant dragonflies. Lower-paying symbols take the form of stylized letters that evoke medieval texts.

The most memorable symbol is the Gold Ness Monster himself, with his long neck and gleaming golden scales. His large eyes and small smile suggest that he is not a monster that should be feared.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation of this slot create a unique, magical fishing holiday vibe.

Gameplay

Big Bass and the Gold Ness Monster is a five-reel, three-row slot, with 10 win lines. All wins are calculated from left to right.

The maximum win for this slot is 5,000x the player's total bet.

If players wish, they can use the Ante Bet feature to select a bet multiplier. Depending on the multiplier selected, the game may behave differently. For example, a bet multiplier of 15x will lead to naturally higher odds of triggering the Free Spins feature.

Players also have the option to buy directly into the Free Spins feature.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Fisherman Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol and the Money symbol.

The Money symbol takes on a random value during every spin that can be won during the Free Spins feature. The possible values of the Money symbol range from 2x to 5,000x the player's total bet.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when players land at least 3 Scatter symbols. The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of Scatters that triggered the feature as follows:

• 3 Scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters = 15 free spins
• 5 Scatters = 20 free spins

If only 2 Scatters land, a special feature can allow for a chance for a third Scatter to land.

Before the Free Spins feature begins, players are prompted to choose from 12 cards. The card they choose will determine the type of Free Spins feature they will play. The options are as follows:

• Bonus card = regular Free Spins feature
• Gold Ness Monster card = Gold Ness Free Spins feature

If the regular Free Spins feature is selected, each Fisherman Wild symbol collects all values from any Money symbols on the reels. Every 4th Fisherman Wild collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 additional free spins and a multiplier that increases for each retrigger. The multiplier increases from 2x to 3x to 10x.

If the Gold Ness Free Spins feature is selected, the regular symbols disappear, leaving a grid where only Money symbols and Fisherman Wild symbols appear. The round begins with 10 free spins.

Every 4th Fisherman Wild collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 additional free spins and a multiplier that increases with each retrigger. The multiplier increases from 2x to 3x to 10x.

An array of special features enhances both the regular Free Spins feature and the Gold Ness Free Spins feature, ensuring these features are especially entertaining.
