Big Bass Return to the Races review

Charles Perrin 26 Apr 2025

Theme and Style

Big Bass Return to the Races has ditched the traditional fishing theme and focuses on the unpredictable nature of horse racing.

Pragmatic Play has gone for something entirely new. In this slot, the reels are lined with champagne buckets, pints of beer, and binoculars.

This slot should engage racing aficionados who are in search of big wins.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The music for Big Bass Return to the Race has a Western twang, but the soundtrack seems subdued for players immersing themselves in the thrills and spills of racing.

Nevertheless, the more mellow notes help to ensure players stay focussed as they target a strong finish down the home straight.

The graphics are bold but stylish, as the reels are set against the background of a well-maintained race track.

Overall, the animations and soundtrack used for Big Bass Return to the Races liven the atmosphere of this slot.

Gameplay

Big Bass Return to the Races is a 5x3 slot that rewards players for landing at least 3 matching symbols.

There are 10 fixed paylines, and the champagne buckets are sought after, paying up to 200x your stake for a five-of-a-kind win.

Among the other regular paying symbols, a five-of-a-kind win for landing pints of beer gives players a return worth 50x their stake.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Big Bass Return to the Races is famed for Free Spins. The Free Spins are triggered when players land at least 3 Scatters. If you land 2 Scatters, there is a chance to respin to gain another one and activate the bonus.

Before the round gets underway, you can pick from 12 cards. If you choose a bonus card, the Free Spins round gets underway, and the round also collects Wild symbols. Multiple Wilds collect money symbols.

Multipliers increase from 2x to 10x, and there are no more spins available after this. However, the following triggers can land at any time:

• If Wilds and no money lands, a stampede can award money symbols.
• If money and no Wilds land, a lasso can pull a Wild onto the reels.
• If only Wilds land, all blank spaces can transition into something else.

The maximum win available playing Big Bass Return to the Races is 5,000x your wager.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player for this slot is 96.07%, which is slightly above the industry average.

This game has high volatility, which makes it an excellent match for our preferred slot machine strategies. We tend to target games that are high in volatility.

Conclusion

We recommend this high RTP (96.07%), high volatility horse racing-themed slot.

Pragmatic Play has gone down a slightly different route from its trademark fishing-based games.

But don’t let that put you off. Big Bass Return to the Races boasts some highly engaging bonus features and has a decent maximum win amount.
