Big Bass Football Bonanza takes the Big Bass brand to the World Cup, taking the usual fish and fishermen out of the water and putting them onto a soccer pitch.
The symbols still involve plenty of fish (though now they swim in the center of a stadium), but Pragmatic Play has added a referee's whistle, a kitbag, and cleated boots to the symbols and a grass field to the background.
This slot will appeal to soccer fans, anglers, and especially fans of both who wish they could combine their hobbies more often.
The graphics of Big Bass Football Bonanza are good, but not elaborate. The images are clear and do the job, and the animations on the reels delineate the action in a way that is easy for the player to read.
The music is an airy calypso tune that fits the fishing theme more than the soccer setting. Still, it lends an upbeat air to the proceedings.
Overall, the animations, sounds, and visuals are serviceable, but do not have the character and flair of some other outings in the Big Bass franchise.
With five reels and three rows of symbols, Big Bass Football Bonanza is a pretty typical slot. This fits with the Big Bass formula nicely and offers the player a familiar playing field.
There are ten win lines for the player to land symbols on and a Free Spins bonus with a fun collect feature to keep things interesting.
Additionally, the maximum win for this slot is 5,000x the player's total bet. A fairly standard cap for a slot with Big Bass Football Bonanza's volatility.
The Wild symbol in Big Bass Football Bonanza only appears during bonus features, where it stands in for other standard symbols to make winning combinations.
To trigger the Free Spins bonus, the player must land three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The player starts the Free Spins bonus with 10 spins.
During the bonus feature, Wilds are "collected" into a counter by the reels. Every time the player collects four Wilds, they are used to retrigger the feature, adding 10 more free spins and increasing the multiplier.
Additionally, on some free spins, a Money symbol (with a fish on it) can land with a randomised money amount. These are then collected by the player.
The Return to Player of Big Bass Football Bonanza is 96.50%, a great number which is comfortably higher than our yardstick for an average of 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.
Unfortunately, the volatility of Big Bass Football Bonanza is at the low end of medium. This means it doesn't work very well with our preferred slot strategies. We prefer higher volatility slots. Don't lose heart though; there are other Big Bass slots that do offer high volatility if that's what you're looking for.
If you enjoy soccer and are a fan of the Big Bass franchise, then this game might well be for you.
The gameplay is solid, with some well-made, classic features and an interesting theme that blends the unlikely pairing of angling with soccer. The graphics are fun and quirky, and the RTP of 96.5% is great.
The main thing that tempers our enthusiasm for this slot is the low volatility, which doesn't work well with our preferred slot strategy. However, if that's not an issue for you, then you might want to both cast off and kick off!
