iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play has expanded its Big Bass franchise with the launch of Big Bass Blast, a new release featuring escalating rewards and bonus game action. 

The 5×3 slot brings players back to the series’ fishing setting alongside its recurring fisherman character. The slot brings fresh mechanics to one of the supplier’s most popular game series. 

In the base game, wilds landing on reels 1 and 5 can randomly carry a multiplier ranging from 2x to 10x. Three to five scatter symbols landing on the reels trigger the bonus round, awarding five to nine free spins, and at least one wild is guaranteed to land on every spin during the bonus round.

Across both the base and bonus games, fisherman wilds collect the value of any fish money symbols that land, with prizes reaching up to 500x.

During the bonus round, every seventh wild collected awards five additional free spins and raises the win multiplier, which progresses from 2x to 3x before reaching a maximum of 10x.

The game also incorporates hook and bazooka features, which can pull in money symbols and wilds or transform symbols already on the reels during any spin, adding further variation to individual rounds.

“One of the strengths of the Big Bass franchise is its ability to explore fresh creative territory while staying true to the core gameplay that players love,” said Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play. “Big Bass Blast achieves this with its electrified reels and new bonus game experience.”
