Bigger Bass Bonanza Slot Review

Bigger Bass Bonanza - Overview

Bigger Bass Bonanza is Reel Kingdom’s follow-up to the original fishing hit, and as a regular on these types of games I could feel the “bigger” angle straightaway. The grid moves to 5 reels, 4 rows and 12 fixed paylines, with the action playing out under the waterline in front of a neon harbour that feels straight out of Miami. It keeps the same simple fish-collecting mechanic but ramps up the potential, with a headline 4,000x catch on the line.

The core gameplay is still all about lining up wins from left to right while waiting for those scatters to hook the free spins feature. What I like is that it does not try to throw in unnecessary extras. You get a straight fishing slot where the tension mainly comes from the free spins round and the prospect of landing that golden fish or climbing the fisherman multiplier ladder.

Bigger Bass Bonanza Slot Details

From a numbers point of view, Bigger Bass Bonanza is right in my wheelhouse. The default RTP sits at 96.71%, which is above the usual 96% mark, but there are 95.67% and 94.62% versions around so I always check the paytable first. Volatility is in the very high bracket, rated 5 out of 5, and you can feel that in the long runs of dead or tiny spins between anything meaningful.

The slot runs with a 12p minimum stake and a theoretical upper limit of £240 a spin, though many UK operators cap that far lower, often around £5 or £10. Hit frequency hovers around once every eight spins, with the bonus round averaging roughly one trigger in 120 spins. The max win is 4,000 times the bet, either via the golden 4,000x fish or a stacked free spins round hitting the win cap.

Theme, Audio + Symbols in Bigger Bass Bonanza

Visually, Bigger Bass Bonanza swaps the laid-back open sea for an urban harbour backdrop. Palm trees and tower blocks glow in neon above the water while the reels sit below, divided by rising bubbles. The soundtrack leans hard into an 80s, Miami Vice-style vibe, and as someone who grew up on that sort of synth it fits the brighter, more energetic feel of this sequel really well during both base play and bonuses.

On the reels you get the standard 10, J, Q, K and A royals as the low pays, worth up to 10x for a full line of five. Premium symbols are a tackle box, squid lure, fishing rod and the boat. At five of a kind these pay between 50x and 200x the bet, with the boat starting from just two of a kind for 0.5x, which gives the top symbol a bit more presence during base game spins.

The fish money symbols are where the game really breathes. In the base game, three and four fish on a line pay 1x and 5x, while five fish award the combined cash values displayed. Those values can range from small change up to a massive 4,000x golden fish. Fisherman wilds show up in free spins only, substituting for regular symbols and collecting any money symbols in view. Hooked bass scatters trigger the feature in the first place.

Bonus Features in Bigger Bass Bonanza

Bigger Bass Bonanza leans heavily on its free spins feature. Three, four or five hooked bass scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. During the round, each fisherman wild that lands collects all visible money symbols and is stored on a meter above the reels. Every fourth wild retriggers with 10 extra spins and an upgraded collector multiplier: 2x on the first retrigger, then 3x, then 10x, with up to three retriggers and 50 free spins in total. A random “bazooka” style event can also drop extra fish when only one wild shows.

Bigger Bass Bonanza Expert Verdict

Having put a fair number of spins through both games, I see Bigger Bass Bonanza as the sharper option for players who can live with serious swings. The extra row, higher symbol values and doubled top potential take what worked in the original and turn the dial up. On the flip side, the variance can be brutal, and sessions where the fisherman barely shows in free spins are very common in my experience.

What keeps me coming back is the mix of simple mechanics and meaningful peaks. Hitting several retriggers and watching the multiplier climb to 10x while decent fish values land around the wild can be properly exciting. For me, Bigger Bass Bonanza is a strong choice if you enjoy fishing slots, appreciate a clean 5x4 layout and are hunting for 4,000x shots, but it is better suited to seasoned players than casual spinners.
