Big Bass Mission Fishin' Slot Review 🔎

The Big Bass Mission Fishin' slot has an average player rating of 4 out of 5 stars, based on 164 authentic community reviews.

Well, look what the tide dragged in! No, not a deceased sea creature, but yet another Big Bass slot from the familiar duo at Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom. At this point, with what feels like an endless stream of Big Bass releases, the thought of diving into another might be met with a shrug. However, for those still hooked on the series, let's cast our lines into Big Bass Mission Fishin' and see what's on offer.

The "mission" aspect of Big Bass Mission Fishin' feels a tad forced. It primarily comes into play when the bonus is triggered, offering players a choice between two "missions": Free Spins or Stack the Cash. Outside of this, Reel Kingdom has set the game at night (for added stealth, perhaps?) and given a few symbols a subtle secret agent makeover. Otherwise, this is undeniably another Big Bass slot, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with the franchise. 🌃🐟

🕹️ Base Game Dynamics

Set against a backdrop of bubbles, Big Bass Mission Fishin' features a standard 5-reel, 3-row setup with 10 paylines. Bets range from 10 c to $/€250 per spin, with a default RTP of 96.5%. Activating the Ante Bet increases the stake by 50%, which in turn increases the frequency of scatter symbols appearing on the reels. The game's volatility is high, rated at 5 out of 5.

The lower-paying symbols are the familiar Ten to Ace card ranks, awarding 5 to 10 times the bet for a line of 5 matching symbols. The higher-value symbols include fish Money symbols, tackle boxes, harpoon guns, dragonflies, and boats, paying out 20 to 200 times the bet for 5 of a kind. The fish Money symbols are special, each carrying a random value from 2x to a whopping 5,000x the bet on any given spin. These Money symbols can be collected during the free spins feature when the wild fisherman symbol makes an appearance. The wild symbol also substitutes for all other symbols except Money symbols and scatters. 🎣

✨ Slot Features

As part of the extensive Big Bass lineage, players will likely be familiar with the fisherman wild collecting fish Money symbols during free spins. However, Big Bass Mission Fishin' also introduces a Stack the Cash feature, which is one of the bonus options when triggered.

• Scatters: Landing 3 or more scatter symbols triggers the bonus feature, where players get to choose between Free Spins or Stack the Cash. In the base game, if 2 scatters land, there's a chance a third one might be brought onto the screen by a hook or through respins where the existing scatters can move down a position without falling off the grid.
• spins Free Spins: Triggered by 3, 4, or 5 scatters, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Before the spins begin, players select files on the screen to reveal modifiers until a boot symbol appears. These modifiers can include:
  • More Fish: Increases the number of fish symbols on the reels.
  • More Fisherman: Increases the number of wild fisherman symbols on the reels.
  • More Dynamites, Hooks, and Bazookas: Increases the frequency of these random features.
  • Start From Level 2: The progressive wild collection feature starts at level 2.
  • +2 Spins: The round begins with 2 extra free spins, and any retrigger also awards +2 spins.
  During free spins, each wild symbol collects the values of all Money symbols in view. Wild symbols are also collected in a meter. Every 4th wild collected awards an additional +10 free spins and a multiplier for collected Money symbol values: x2 for the second level, x3 for the third level, and x10 for the fourth level. After the fourth level, no further retriggers occur. Additionally, the bonus round features:
  • Dynamite Spin Feature: Randomly, when fisherman symbols are present but no fish, fish Money symbols may appear in random positions at the end of a free spin.
  • Hook: Can randomly pull fisherman symbols onto the screen if there are fish but no fisherman at the end of a spin.
  • Bazooka: Randomly, when a fisherman is present but no fish, all symbols except fisherman symbols are transformed into something else at the end of the spin.
• 💰 Stack the Cash: Choosing this feature removes the regular symbols, leaving only Fish Coin symbols and blank spaces on the reels. The Fish Coin appears on all reels with values from 1x to 25x the bet. Below each reel is a robo-crab. The round starts with 4 respins. Each time a Fish Coin symbol lands, it sticks to the reels, and the respins reset to 4. When a reel is completely filled with Fish Coins, they are removed, and their values are held by the robo-crab below. Whenever a new Fish Coin lands, a bomb drops onto a random reel, doubling the values of all Fish Coins on that reel and the robo-crab underneath. At the end of the round, when the respins run out, the total values held by all robo-crabs are paid out.

• Buy Free Spins: Entry to the bonus round can be purchased for 100x the bet with an RTP of 96.5%. After purchasing, players can choose between Free Spins or Stack the Cash.

🎣 Slot Verdict

It's almost predictable how frequently new Big Bass slots surface. Big Bass Mission Fishin' is another addition to the ever-growing family, and while it's not offensively bad, it doesn't exactly revolutionize the series either. Reel Kingdom has attempted to inject some novelty with the "mission" angle, which works to a degree but ultimately doesn't drastically change the core Big Bass experience.

The inclusion of a hold 'n win style game, Stack the Cash, is a less common sight in Big Bass slots, although similar mechanics have appeared before. This version is fairly basic, lacking any particularly fish-themed thrills. The unique aspect is how full reels of coins are collected by the robo-crabs, freeing up space for more coins. The bomb feature adds a potential for increased wins, making it a decent but not outstanding addition.

In essence, Big Bass Mission Fishin' feels like Big Bass Splash with a streak respin feature bolted on. Like BB Splash, it aims for a 5,000x the stake win cap, theoretically achievable with a single high-value fish. While it doesn't significantly evolve the Big Bass franchise, it offers enough familiar elements for fans to dust off their virtual fishing gear for another go. 🐟🕹️
