BONUSES
- Wild: Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel substituting icon is represented by the fisherman icon.
- Scatter: The scatter symbol is represented by the big bass fish icon inscribed SCATTER.
- Free Spins Feature: Players start playing the free spins feature when three or more of the big bass fish scatters land simultaneously. For landing three, four or five of the big bass fish scatters, players scoop 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. Players ought to note that upon landing a couple of scatters at the same time, it’s possible for a third scatter to be hooked onto the screen hence helping activate the free spins feature.
- Special Fish Symbols: The game comes with several special fish symbols. All special fish symbols come attached to cash values. To collect the cash values, players need to land the special fish symbols on the same spin as a regular wild or a golden wild. If players land only the special fish symbols, their cash values are added and collected on the prize net which appears above the reel grid. Once this happens, one fish at random escapes on the next spin hence decreasing the value of the prize net. The prize net value is collected when the golden wilds land on the same spin with a special fish symbol. Players can scoop more free spins when they collect four or more regular wilds or golden wilds. Each of the regular wild or golden wild that lands are collected on the multiplier trail. The retriggered free spins come with a progressive multiplier that starts at 2x but rises to a max of 10x.
- Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins: Players can manually activate the ante bet or the buy free spins. When players activate the former, the bet amount is automatically increased by 50% for the next spin. With the ante bet activated, the number of scatters that land on the reels is increased hence improving the player’s chances of triggering the free spins round. Players can activate the latter by increasing the bet amount by 100%. When they do this, they are guaranteed to trigger the free spins round on the next spin.
