Fishing is a great fun summer activity, but on some rainy days you might feel like not doing the trip to the lake and just stay at home instead.. On those days, Pragmatic Play is here to make sure you can still do some fishing! Pragmatic Play has released multiple popular fishing themed slots and now we take a closer look on the newest release, Big Bass Splash!
Overview
The game takes a place in some remote backlands where our fisherman casually drives his monster truck to go fishing with some dynamite, bazookas and lassos.. Talk about unconventional fishing methods! The actual game mechanics are much more common though, as the game plays on five reels with three rows in each, creating a total of 10 winlines for you – quite basic setup all in all.
The backbone and most important part of the game is definitely the bonus round, which is packed with different features and mechanics. You need to land minimum of three Scatter-symbols anywhere on your reels to trigger the bonus round, but if you land only two scatters, there is a Chanz that you trigger the Extra Chance feature. If this happens, the two scatters you landed will both move one spot downwards on their own reels and the other reels will get a respin. This happens until you land the needed third scatter or until one of your two scatters fall off from the screen.
Now when you manage to land all three scatters for the Free Spin feature to start, there will be a pre-bonus round feature where you need to lasso some fishes to see what kind of extras you get for your free spin bonus. It is possible to get anywhere from 0-5 extras, and the pre-bonus feature ends when your lasso catches an anchor instead of a fish. Here are all the different extras you may receive:
Extra fish symbols: adds more money fish symbols
Extra fisherman symbols: adds more fisherman wild symbols
Extra dynamites, hooks and bazookas: increases your chance of getting these modifiers
Start from level 2: starts the free spin feature from level 2 of the collection meter
+2 free spins: starts the free spin feature with 12 free spins instead of 10
The Fisherman Wild -symbol is probably the most important symbol of the free spin feature, as you need him to collect all the money fish prizes that lands on the same spin. The fisherman symbol can land on any reel and is also collected in the collection meter above your reels when you land one. For every four fisherman wild symbols that you manage to collect on the collection meter, you will retrigger the whole bonus round (receive 10 or 12 extra free spins) and also up the level of money fish prizes multipliers to 2x, 3x or 10x. Since the meter allows you to collect total of 12 fisherman symbols, this means that the bonus retrigger/level-up can happen for maximum of 3 times.
Finally there are some special random features in the bonus round as well. If you land the fisherman wild symbol but do not land any money fish symbols on the same spin, then a dynamite or bazooka modifier can trigger and get you some fishes. On the other hand, if you only land money fish symbols but there is no fisherman on your reels to collect them, a random feature where a fishing hook pulls the fisherman symbol up might happen.
Chanz verdict
We really enjoyed this summery slot! Pragmatic Play’s fishing slots have been hugely popular and its nice to see that they continue the series and do it well. This iteration introduces some new features and even the max win potential has been increased compared to the previous fishing title, so everything has been improved.
