How to Play Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel slots

You'll get the usual format in this one, measuring 5 x 3 in size. There are no progressives involved though.

The friendly fisherman comes into play as the wild, holding a bass in both hands. This can appear on every reel in the free spins feature. He replaces every icon available apart from the scatter, which is the bass on its own. There are a couple of other symbols to look for too, but we'll get to those shortly.

How many paylines does Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel provide?

The game only has 10 lines available, fewer than we guessed there might be, and they're fixed in position on every spin.

Betting options

The coins go from a penny to $2.50 apiece. You can choose from one to 10 coins on each line too, so there is a lot of variety there if you want to dig into it. The bet multiplier of 10x confirms that you will need to play all 10 lines.

Don't miss the paytable

Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel has an extensive paytable spread over several pages. There is a lot of content on this, but it's crucial to read it all. Hopefully, we'll explain plenty of it here, but you should still check the table itself.

Bonus elements to look for in Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel

Firstly, watch out for the fish money symbols. Each one shows an amount of money, and this can be collected during the free spins. They can appear in the base game too, but they won't have any value there.

How to get through to the free spins

Find three or more scattered bass symbols to get your spins. You'll receive 10, 15, or 20 spins for three, four, or five of the scatters. If you only land two scatters, you get a chance to find the third if you see a hook that brings the third scatter into view on the reels.

Once you're there, all money symbols that turn up are added to the net at the top of the first reel. You'll see an escaping fish leave the net each time, and the value of that fish is then taken away from the total, leaving the remaining ones in there.

Free games may also see the appearance of a golden wild. If you get one of these, he'll grab the values of all money symbols in view for that spin . The same happens with a standard wild. The wilds also get collected according to the bar beneath the reels. If you reach each stage shown, you'll receive the prize shown, which could be some more free games. If you manage to find a golden wild anywhere, he'll grab the value shown in the net as well as all the money symbols in view.

Information about the RTP percentage

This slot game tips just over the desired minimum for an online slot, coming in with a return to player percentage of 96.07%.

Lots of winning potential available in this game

The maximum available prize on offer in this slot game is confirmed on the loading page. It reaches an impressive 10,000x your bet.

Play the demo and try the free spins as well

You can buy the free spin round, so it makes sense to do this in the demo game to see how it works. The price for doing this is on the screen, and you may not receive more than that amount - you could receive less. It's why we'd never buy it for real, but it's handy to see in the demo round.

Play for real and see if you can reel in some prizes

Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel is another one for the fans of the first game, and there are some impressive elements involved. Check your wagers first, but remember the cheapest bet is 10 cents per play.

Try it on mobile too

Pragmatic Play is as reliable as ever in this part of the game. They're offering the chance to play it on Android and iOS too - and all without an app.
