Pragmatic Play sends their iconic fisherman on a covert operation in Big Bass Mission Fishin’. This installment adds a spy-tech twist to the popular fishing-themed series, played out on a standard 5×3 grid with 10 paylines.
Matching symbols across paylines secure wins, with the high-paying speedboat awarding prizes for just two of a kind. The game maintains the high volatility characteristic of the series and offers a default RTP of 96.50%, though variations might exist. The maximum win potential is capped at 5,000 times the stake.
The core gameplay loop involves standard line wins, but the real action begins when 3, 4, or 5 fish Scatter symbols land, triggering a choice between two distinct bonus features:
1. **Free Spins:** Before the round starts, players select from various top-secret files to reveal modifiers that enhance the bonus. These can include extra fish symbols, more Fisherman Wilds, additional starting spins, removal of lower-paying symbols, or even starting the round at level 2 with one Fisherman already collected. During the free spins, the Fisherman Wild symbol collects the values from any fish money symbols present on the reels. Every 4th Fisherman collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 extra spins and increasing the money symbol multiplier (up to 10x for level 4).
2. **Stack the Cash:** This feature transforms the grid, removing regular symbols and introducing only fish coin money symbols, blanks, and robo-crabs. Players start with 4 respins. Each time a fish coin lands, it sticks to the bottom of its reel (or the lowest available position) and resets the respin counter to 4. Robo-crabs collect the values of all fish coins on their reel and move to the bottom. Bombs can land, doubling the value of all fish coins on their reel and any subsequent coins landing there. The feature ends when respins run out or the grid is full, awarding the total value of all collected fish coins.
**Ante Bet & Bonus Buy:**
* **Ante Bet:** Increases the stake by 50% to enhance the chance of triggering the bonus feature naturally.
* **Bonus Buy:** Players can directly purchase entry into the bonus choice screen for 100 times the current bet (availability may vary).
Big Bass Mission Fishin’ successfully injects novelty into the established formula by offering players a choice between a modified Free Spins round with pre-selected enhancers and the engaging Stack the Cash respin feature. With its familiar collection mechanic, added bonus modifiers, and solid win potential, it provides another compelling reason to cast a line with Pragmatic Play’s famous angler.
