Wild Wild Bass 2 Slot Review

Wild Wild Bass 2 Slot Overview

Wild Wild Bass 2 drops straight back into the same fishing waters as the first game, only this time with a slightly tougher edge. You get a transparent 6 reel layout in a 3-3-4-4-4-4 pattern, starting on 2,304 ways to win. The last four reels can stretch by one position during features, raising things to 5,625 ways. Three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left side create wins.

At its heart Wild Wild Bass 2 revolves around Wild symbols, Bass symbols and two main features called Big Catch and Insane Catch. Super Stake can double your bet to throw in extra Wilds, while a Bonus Buy shortcut jumps straight into the main bonus where allowed. The game runs on high volatility with a stated RTP around 96.07%, and a raised maximum win of 10,000x the stake in both base game and bonus.

Theme and Presentation in Wild Wild Bass 2

Visually Wild Wild Bass 2 sticks close to the predecessor, though the colours feel warmer and the whole scene looks a bit more welcoming. The reels float just below the water surface, divided by bubble lines while shoals of fish shoot past in the background. Aquatic plants and a clear logo frame the grid, and the spin action is backed by a mid tempo soundtrack with bubbling effects that fits the easy going fishing vibe.

Symbols and Paytable in Wild Wild Bass 2

The paytable in Wild Wild Bass 2 is unchanged from the first outing. Low paying symbols are the card icons 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, which pay between 1x and 2x the stake for six of a kind, dropping to 0.2x or 0.4x for three. Medium symbols are the fishing lure box, lifebuoy and float, worth 2.5x to 5x for six, then 0.5x to 1x for short hits.

Top of the standard set sit the seagull and fishing rod, each paying 15x the bet for six. The Wild symbol is a fisherman in a red beanie, landing only on reels one and two and substituting for all regular symbols apart from Bass and Insane Catch. Bass symbols carry random money values as multiples of your stake, but those values only pay during Big Catch or Insane Catch, so in the base game they often feel like blockers.

Bonus Features in Wild Wild Bass 2

Most of the action in Wild Wild Bass 2 comes from the Wild driven features. Landing two Wilds on reels one and two triggers the Big Catch feature. Reels three, four, five and six all extend by one extra position, lifting the ways to win up to 5,625. During the same spin every Bass symbol on the grid pays its money value straight away on top of any regular line wins, then the reels snap back to normal.

Hit two Wilds alongside the Insane Catch symbol on reel six and you move into the Insane Catch feature with 2, 3 or 4 Insane Spins. Reels one and two merge into a single multiplier reel, giving a random value from x1 up to as high as x10 on each spin. The remaining four reels split into 20 independent positions that only display Bass symbols, Insane Catch symbols or blanks, so every hit is about cash values.

During Insane Catch, extra Insane symbols award extra Insane Spins, and some setups also throw in chest style Mystery symbols that add fish prize multipliers between x2 and x5 for that spin. In practice the feature can be quite swingy. I have had boards with multipliers in place that still paid almost nothing, then one spin where a chunky Bass cluster dropped and the multiplier made the screen suddenly light up.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Wild Wild Bass 2

From a numbers angle Wild Wild Bass 2 sits in classic high volatility territory. The headline RTP is 96.07%, though some versions list around 96.44% or slightly lower, so I always check the info panel first. Stakes run from 10 pence up to 200 per spin, with the maximum win capped at 10,000x the bet. In my sessions the main features tended to appear roughly every couple of hundred spins without Super Stake.

How I Play Wild Wild Bass 2

When I sit down with Wild Wild Bass 2 I treat it as a bonus hunting slot rather than a casual spinner. The base game can feel quite dry, especially with Bass money symbols clogging reels, so I keep bets modest and aim for endurance. I sometimes toggle Super Stake on when the balance is healthy, as the extra Wild symbols genuinely seem to raise the hit rate for Big Catch and Insane Catch.

Where Bonus Buy is allowed I regard the 100x entry into Insane Catch as pure high risk gambling. It gives direct access to the main event and cuts out long stretches of dead spins, but you can quite easily walk away with less than 20x back. In the UK I simply grind for natural triggers instead, and I always accept that chasing those 10,000x moments means sitting through plenty of uneventful runs.

Wild Wild Bass 2 Slot Verdict

For me Wild Wild Bass 2 feels like the original game with some numbers tweaked and a Bonus Buy bolted on, rather than a fresh sequel. That said, the Insane Catch round is still entertaining when it behaves, and the 10,000x cap gives real punch for a fishing slot. If you can handle long gaps between features and do not mind familiar waters, it serves as a solid high volatility option.
