Big Bass Mission Fishing Slot

Get ready to cast your line with Big Bass Mission Fishin’, the latest release from the Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom team. As another installment in the ever-growing Big Bass series, this game offers familiar fishing fun with a few new twists that might just reel you in.

Setting the Scene

Big Bass Mission Fishin’ sets the stage with a nocturnal theme, perhaps hinting at the sneaky, thrilling nature of nighttime fishing adventures. The game features 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols, all encased in bubbles, and boasts 10 paylines to calculate winning combinations. The betting range is broad, from 10 cents to $/€250 per spin, with an RTP of 96.5% and high volatility.

Symbols and Payouts

The game’s symbols include the usual Ten to Ace card ranks, paying 5 to 10 times the bet for 5 matching symbols. Higher-paying symbols are fishing-themed items such as tackle boxes, harpoon guns, dragonflies, boats, and special fish Money symbols, which can pay out 20 to 200 times the bet for 5 of a kind. Fish Money symbols are unique as they come with random values ranging from 2x to 5,000x the bet.

Key Features

• Scatters and Free Spins: Landing 3 or more scatters triggers the bonus feature, allowing players to choose between free spins or the Stack the Cash feature. If only 2 scatters appear, a hook or respins might help land the third.
• Free Spins: Depending on the number of scatters (3, 4, or 5), players can win 10, 15, or 20 free spins. Before spins begin, players select files to reveal modifiers like more fish, more wild fisherman symbols, and more dynamites/hooks/bazookas. Collected wild symbols can lead to retriggering free spins and increasing multipliers up to x10.
• Stack the Cash: In this feature, only Fish Coin symbols and blanks appear on the reels, with values ranging from 1x to 25x the bet. Robo-crabs collect these values, and each new Fish Coin resets the respins to 4. Full reels of Fish Coins are collected by robo-crabs, and bombs can double the values.
• Buy Free Spins: For those who can’t wait, the bonus round can be bought for 100x the bet, maintaining an RTP of 96.5%.

Verdict

Big Bass Mission Fishin’ doesn’t drastically reinvent the Big Bass series but offers enough tweaks to keep fans entertained. The nocturnal theme, the mission-based bonus round selection, and the new Stack the Cash feature add layers to the familiar gameplay. While it might not push the franchise into uncharted waters, it provides ample reason for enthusiasts to grab their virtual fishing rods and dive in for another round of aquatic adventure.
