Big Bass Halloween 3 Slot Review

About: Big Bass Halloween 3

Big Bass Halloween 3 throws the familiar fishing fanatic into a much darker setting. It is the third Halloween entry in the Big Bass line and keeps the classic 5x3 layout with 10 fixed paylines. Developed by Reel Kingdom in partnership with Pragmatic Play, it mixes a fishing trip with a zombie outbreak, so you get money fish, wild fishermen and bloody pumpkins rather than the usual sunny lake.

I like how Big Bass Halloween 3 sticks to the standard Big Bass maths profile while changing the mood. The slot uses high volatility, a 96.50% RTP in its top setting and a max win of 5,000x bet, so it sits in the same bracket as other entries in the series. The focus is again on free spins, money symbols and collector wilds that can stack up decent hits.

Game Specifications: Big Bass Halloween 3

On the technical side, Big Bass Halloween 3 runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed lines paying left to right. The default RTP is 96.50%, though casinos can offer lower versions around 95.50% or 94.50%. Volatility is rated very high. The stated hit frequency is about 12.99%, so dry spells are common, but the paytable and money symbol values keep the peak potential attractive.

Betting on Big Bass Halloween 3 starts from 10p a spin at most UK sites, with the game itself capable of supporting stakes far higher, even up to £250 in some markets. I usually stick around the 10p to £2 range because of the variance. The max win caps at 5,000x bet, mainly reachable through multiplied money symbol collections during a strong stretch of free spins.

Graphics and Theme: Big Bass Halloween 3

Visually, Big Bass Halloween 3 is the boldest take on this series that I have played. Instead of a bright seabed, the action takes place in front of a blood-smeared glass door, with a zombie hunter fisherman guarding the entrance. Ghostly fish, carved pumpkins and grim props fill the reels, while an eerie soundtrack and familiar bubble effects on each spin keep that mix of spooky slot and fishing trip.

Bonus Features: Big Bass Halloween 3

In Big Bass Halloween 3, the main feature is the free spins round triggered by 3, 4 or 5 pumpkin scatters for 15, 20 or 25 spins. When only 2 scatters land, there is a chance a respin or hook animation drags in the third one. You can also turn on the Ante Bet, which raises the stake by 50% and improves the odds of seeing the bonus more often.

During free spins, fish act as money symbols, carrying random values from 2x up to a chunky 5,000x total bet. Red and blue wild fishermen land on the reels and collect all money values in view. Each colour fills its own meter, and every fourth wild of that colour awards 10 extra spins and upgrades the collection multiplier, first to 2x, then 3x and finally 10x on later levels.

Random modifiers keep the bonus from going flat. Dynamite spins can add fish when fishermen land alone, hooks can pull a fisherman onto a screen full of fish, and a shark can transform symbols around a waiting collector. If you are outside tightly regulated markets, you can skip the wait and buy into free spins for 100x bet or super free spins for 300x bet.

Symbols in: Big Bass Halloween 3

The symbols in Big Bass Halloween 3 stick closely to the Big Bass template. Low pays are the 10, J, Q, K and A royals, paying between 0.2x and 10x stake for a five of a kind, with the higher letters paying a bit more. These do most of the work during quiet stretches, so on high volatility settings they often feel like small top-ups while you hunt the bonus.

Premium icons fit the horror fishing trip: bloodied fish, backpack, axe, lure and the camper van. Lines of five pay from 20x up to 200x stake, with the van also paying from just two on a line. The same fish symbol is used as a money symbol, pumpkins act as scatters, and the two wild fishermen substitute for regular symbols during free spins while collecting money values.

How to Win in: Big Bass Halloween 3

To get anything serious out of Big Bass Halloween 3, I focus on triggering and extending the free spins rather than grinding the base game. Wins form by landing three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel across the 10 lines. I like starting on a modest stake, then deciding after a few hundred spins whether the game is dropping enough scatters and money fish to justify staying.

Final Verdict: Big Bass Halloween 3

Big Bass Halloween 3 feels like the familiar Big Bass engine dressed up in a proper horror outfit. I rate the visuals and atmosphere highly, as the zombie angle and tense soundtrack finally push the theme away from simple blood in the water. From a gameplay point of view, though, it sticks very closely to earlier entries, so regulars will know exactly what to expect from the first spin.

For me, the draw lies in streaky but exciting free spins with growing multipliers on money symbols, not in the rather slow base game. The very high volatility, 96.50% RTP and 5,000x cap make it a decent seasonal option if you already like this series and can handle swings. If you prefer fresh mechanics or gentler variance, you may find this one more of a Halloween reskin.
