10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins: Slot Overview

Software provider ReelPlay has pulled out its beloved 10K Ways mechanism and a fishing rod to create the angling-themed online slot 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins. Bass fish get around, don't they? Introduced by Blueprint Gaming, this fishing slot phenomenon was made ultra popular by Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom's frighteningly persistent Big Bass Bonanza series. This is pure speculation, but maybe ReelPlay is trying to get in on the action through a bit of name recognition. Kind of like the movie 'The Distinguished Gentleman' where actor Eddie Murphy's character gets voted into Congress in large part due to the name he uses, Jeff Johnson, being similar to the name of the guy he ends up replacing. Maybe not, either way, rod up, we're going fishing. Again.

For gamblers looking to get a taste of the great outdoors while trying their luck, it's hard to fault 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins location. The view is made up of a fast-flowing blue, green river down the bottom, a rocky grass area in the middle, before mountains rise up in the distance. It does look a bit cold, if that's a concern or not, but friendly-vibed, especially when including the jolly soundtrack in the audiovisual assessment.

Lashed together with bits of wood and covered in snow is 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins' gaming grid. It consists of 6 vertical reels holding 4 symbols each and a horizontal reel at the top also holding 4 symbols, creating 10,000 ways to win. 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins is a medium-high volatile game, with a maximum RTP of 96.11%, and one way to play - by betting 20 cents to $/€50 per spin.

Amongst 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins' regular paying symbols, we find 9-A royals, a hook, an insect, and a tackle box. Landing a 6 OAK winning way pays out 0.5-1 times the bet for the royals or 2 to 5 times the bet for the picture symbols. The cascading mechanism removes symbols from winning ways and replaces them by dropping/shifting symbols into the grid. A fisherman chap appears on the wild symbol, which substitutes for all symbols except scatters or Bass. The wild lands only on the top reel, and is needed to collect money symbols.

This being a fishing game, players get the chance to collect money symbols with a fisherman symbol, both in the base game and in the Lightning Blitz bonus round.

Bass

Bass symbols display a random prize or a bonus prize. Random prizes are worth 1 to 9 times the bet, while the bonus prizes are the 10x Mini, 50x Minor, 250x Major, and the 2,000x Grand. Whenever a wild lands, it collects the prizes and/or the bonus prizes from all Bass symbols in view. The Mini and Minor prizes may be awarded more than once per game round. The Grand and Major bonus prizes may only be awarded once per game round. Bass symbols do not land on the top reel.

Lightning Blitz Free Spins

Landing 4, 5, 6, or 7 scatters awards 2, 3, 5, or 7 free spins, respectively. The scatter symbol only appears on vertical reels if a scatter has landed on the top reel during the current spin. In the Lightning Blitz bonus, at least one wild symbol is guaranteed on each free spin. During the round, the top reel only contains wilds or blank symbols, while the vertical reels have only Bass or blank symbols.

10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins: Slot Verdict

ReelPlay is really wedded to the 10,000 ways concept, huh? The studio has a bunch of these 10K Ways type slots under its belt, displaying varying degrees of creative expression. Oftentimes, they are pretty similar to each other mechanically, and adding a bass fish element to them is hardly a major creative step. In fact, though not saying this is the case, but it feels like yet another casino game maker trying to get in on the trend dominated by Big Bass Bonanza and its multitude of related slots. After reviewing Big Bass Bonanza Reel Action not long before this one, even the Big Bass range is starting to feel a bit stale. Has 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins missed the boat, or is this the shot in the arm the genre needed?

Hate to say it, but the game felt closer to the former rather than the latter. There isn't much on show here that isn't on show elsewhere. Though, there are one or two charms. Players who have or who want to see it all might be intrigued by the game's Lightning Blitz Free Spins. Not so much if you are the sort of gambler who prefers oodles of different special symbols to appear in a bonus round. But, getting at least one wild symbol, which is needed to collect prize symbols, might be of interest and runs along the same lines as the Gold Blitz feature in Fortune Factory Studios' Mask of Amun.

The game's max win is so-so, okay, at 4,519.6x in the base game or 4,660.35x the bet in the bonus round. 10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins turned out to be a so-so game in general, really, quite nicely executed, but there's not much else to say other than that.

Mediocre

10,000 Big Bass Lightning Spins is a fairly average addition to the long list of bass fish slots already bobbing around the marketplace.
