Big Bass Bonanza Megaways

Big Bass Bonanza Megaways Review

Starring everyone’s beloved fisherman and his money symbols, the fishing-themed Big Bass Bonanza from Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play just had an upgrade and moved up a level. It’s now a Megaways slot with a 5×7 tumbling reels formation and two random extra features, making the fishing in the free spins round more fun and maybe even easier. By that, we mean Bazooka and Dynamite additions, but you’ll find more details on that and other bonus features in our slot review below.

Big Bass Bonanza Megaways Bonus Features

Big Bass Bonanza Megaways keeps all the original bonus features found in the previous releases, but it also enjoys several new enhancements like the titular mechanic. This means that you now have up to 46,656 different ways to win on every spin. The Megaways mechanic paired with tumble reels also means that you can build multiple wins in just one spin throughout the gameplay. Furthermore, there are two random slot features that could save your day should you run out of fish in the sea during the free spins bonus round.

Tumble Feature

The Tumble feature here acts as the catalyst to multiple wins in just a single spin. Each time you achieve a winning combination, the winning symbols will be removed from the grid to make space for new symbols to fall into the gaps and produce more possible wins. Tumbling will continue for as long as you keep creating winning combinations.

Wilds

It appears that the fisherman has given up his substituting duties and transferred them onto the fishing net, which is the new wild symbol in the Megaways version of Big Bass Bonanza. Now, the new wilds can substitute for all symbols except scatters and the fisherman if they hit reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 on the top row above the grid.

Scatters

The big bass returns as a scatter symbol. It can appear on all reels and trigger 10, 15 and 20 free spins for 3, 4 and 5 scatters landed.

Free Spins

Unleashed with 3, 4 or 5 scatters, the free spins round contains two more important symbols, the fisherman symbol and the familiar fish or money symbols with random cash values. Whenever these two symbols hit the reels together during the round, the fisherman will reel in all the visible fish symbols boosting your play balance. Additionally, every 4th fisherman collected in the meter will retrigger the free spins bonus round, up to 3 times. The first, second and third retrigger will award 10 free spins and a multiplier of 2x, 3x and 10x, but there won’t be any more retriggers after that.

Dynamite and Bazooka Random Features

Triggered randomly during the bonus round when you have 1-2 fisherman but no fish symbols on the screen, the Dynamite feature adds more fish symbols to the reels. The Bazooka feature on the other hand, blows all the symbols off the reels, except the fisherman, and gives you a second chance at landing more money symbols.

Big Bass Bonanza Megaways Jackpot

There is no jackpot floating in the sea, but you can win up to 4,000x your stake in payouts if you can catch enough fish. That’s nearly double the max win of the original title.

RTP and Volatility

Just like every previous version in the Big Bass series, Big Bass Bonanza Megaways also comes with high volatility. The theoretical RTP of 96.70% is more or less the same, but bear in mind it can also be variable.
