Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake: Slot Overview
Released in 2020, Big Bass Bonanza came blasting out of the Pragmatic Play/Reel Kingdom workshop like a tidal wave, instigating a series that is either the gift that keeps on giving or your worst nightmare. Not on account of the original game itself, but because it's spawned more than a dozen follow-ups. Some have been pretty random, too, such as Big Bass Day at the Races, but so far, the game in question really takes the cake. Titled Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake, this game merges the familiar Fisherman character and features with the enduring Legends of King Arthur. Yes, you read that right.
Since this is the 357th BB release (not really, but it can seem so), players, on the whole, should be well acquainted with the drill by now - a watery location and a free spins round where the Fisherman symbol collects fish money symbols. This Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake has. Is there much point in banging on about the situational set-up, other than to say it's fishy, Arthurian-y, and goldeny?
Not really, so let's move onto the figures side of Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake, where, for starters, participants have access to stake levels of 10 c to $/€250 per spin. They've also got access to an Ante Bet, which, for an increase to the bet of 50% they can have more scatter symbols on the reels, creating a higher chance of triggering free spins. Highly volatile, Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake makes use of a default RTP of 96.07%, whether using the bonus buy or not.
From bottom up, the paytable has got 10, J, Q, K and A, then a tackle box, a dragonfly, a reel, and a float. Hitting 5 matching royals pays you 5 to 10 times your stake, or 5 matching high pays awards 20 to 200 times the bet. The Fisherman wild substitutes for any regular pay symbol but only turns up in free spins
Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake: Slot Features
Most of what's covered here has been covered on numerous occasions in the past, with the exception of the Golden Lake Free Spins. Will it be enough to win new converts to the fold or keep the already converted happy?
Money Symbols
Fish money symbols land with multipliers of 2x to 5,000x the bet. They can also form line wins worth up to 20 times the bet. The random money values they display can only be won in free spins.
Free Spins
Hitting 3, 4, or 5 scatters triggers 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. If 2 scatters hit in the base game, there is a chance the third is randomly pulled into view by a respin feature or just added after the initial spin result. Before the round starts, players pick a card to reveal either the regular free spins round or the Golden Lake Free Spins feature. During regular free spins, when the Fisherman symbol (which is wild) hits, it collects all values from money symbols in view. Fisherman symbols are collected as well. Every 4th Fisherman symbol collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 free spins and a multiplier for money symbols of x2, x3, or x10 for the second, third, and fourth level, respectively. After the fourth level, no more retriggers are possible.
Golden Lake Free Spins
For this feature, all regular pay symbols are removed from the reels, so only blanks, fish money symbols or Fisherman symbols may appear. On each spin, winning combinations with money symbols are paid, and the Fisherman collects money symbols. As before, Fisherman symbols are collected when they land to progress the round. Every 4th Fisherman symbol collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 free spins and a multiplier for money symbols of x2, x3, or x10 for the second, third, and fourth level, respectively. After the fourth level, no more retriggers are possible.
Free Spins Features
In both free spins rounds, if there are fishermen symbols on the reels but no money symbols, then money symbols can randomly appear at the end of the spin. If money symbols are on the grid but no Fisherman at the end of a spin, a hook may randomly pull a Fisherman symbol into view. Lastly, when a Fisherman symbol is on the reels, but there are no money symbols, all other symbols may be transformed into something else.
Buy Free Spins
It is possible to pay 100x the bet to randomly win free spins or Golden Lake Free Spins, or pay 270x for Golden Lake Free Spins.
Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake: Slot Verdict
FML, Pragmatic Play has really opened Pandora's Box with this one. There really is no limit whatsoever as to where the team might take the Big Bass range now. And where Prag goes, the multitudes will follow. It's getting to the point (or has gotten to the point) where anything, anything, anything can be wedged into a fish slot to make it 'stand out from the pack'. What's next? The mind absolutely boggles. There is an element of bold daring, concatenating King Arther and Big Bass together (plus a 5,000x win cap), but it is scary to think about what comes next. Imagine a situation when every new Big Bass slot is a bona fide Googlewhack of concepts. Guh, people, welcome to the future.
Remember a time when the combination of words - Big, Bass, and Bonanza, meant little to nothing to the gambling world? It's weird to think this was ever the case. Not only because Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom's slot Big Bass Bonanza went on to garner so much love but because the studios have cranked up the BB machine to ensure it pushes out updates with frightening regularity. The problem is, if you keep doing iterations of the same thing, surely you'll run out of ways to repackage it. Not so if you are Pragmatic Play & Co., as evidenced by this release. Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake would suggest we have a long, long way to go before the studios run out of things to weld onto their Big Bass slots.
Fair
Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake smooshes seemingly completely unrelated ideas into one weird mash-up of legends, myth, and fish.
