Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

Our favorite Big Bass Fisherman has done it all at this point: he's been to the races, he's been to Vegas, and he's piloted pretty much every type of boat known to man. The only thing he hasn't done is take up his position in the boxing ring. But don't worry, that's exactly what happens in this slot game by Pragmatic Play.

The setting for the Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round (quite a mouthful to say out loud) slot is different from the other games in the Big Bass series. It takes place in a boxing ring, where bright lights shine down to illuminate the crowd. The two main characters are a red and a blue boxer, ready to go head-to-head in their fight. The soundtrack is a smooth show tune, rather than the hyped up music you might expect, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Gameplay

Like the other games in the series, Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round is played on a grid of five reels and three rows. There are 10 fixed paylines, which are active every time you spin, and the maximum win amount is 5,000x your stake.

In this version of the game, the boxing glove and pair of boots are the high-paying symbols, and the fisherman's trusty tacklebox takes the form of a first aid kit. You'll also trigger wins for landing the fish symbols, as well as the A, K, Q, J, and 10 icons.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The big bass Scatter symbol can appear on any reel, and you'll need to land three, four, or five of them to bag 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins, respectively. During the bonus round, fish Money symbols can appear with monetary values of up to 5,000x your stake, and you'll need to land a Wild on the grid to collect the money.

The Wild symbols are the red and blue boxer characters, and they can appear on any of the reels during the Free Spins round. Wilds substitute for all symbols with the exception of the Scatter and the Money symbol.

Red and blue symbols that land during Free Spins are collected in special meters. For every fourth symbol of each color, the round will be re-triggered (another 10 spins) and the Multiplier for Money symbols collected with that color Wild will increase.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

The volatility of this game is high, so you can look forward to bigger wins if the symbols land in your favor. The Return to Player (RTP) percentage of the game is 96.50%, which is decent and definitely above the average of 96%, which we want to see before we recommend a slot. The stakes start at $/€/£0.10 per spin and go up to $/€/£250.

Conclusion

The theme of this game is very different from the older Big Bass titles - it's not even set underwater. That said, the gameplay isn't a huge departure from what you're used to as a fan of the series. The Free Spins feature didn't feel hugely lucrative to us, but the special meter that collects Wilds is a nice addition, as it offers a more exciting way to re-trigger the round.
