Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler Bonus Features

There are 5 pay lines in this slot. Wins are awarded for combinations of identical pics positioned on adjacent reels. Only prize sequences from the leftmost reel are counted. During the main game, a randomly selected paying symbol can occasionally fill the 1st and 2nd reels with identical pics.

Scatter

These special symbols hit any reel. The bonus FS game starts when 3 Scatters simultaneously land on the playfield. The quantity of FS awarded depends on landed Scatters' positioning and varies from 10 to 16. That works in this way: for each Scatter on the topmost reel, a player gets 2 extra FS in addition to the basic 10, whereas for any Scatter on the middle reel, just 1 extra FS is added.

Hook feature

In the main game, fishing hooks can randomly trigger, pulling 1, 2, or 3 Scatters onto the reels.

Free Spins (FS)

Money Symbols

During the bonus FS game, fish pics turn into Money symbols. These come up onto the playfield carrying random values from x2 to x5,000. Cash prizes are collected only by the Wild (the Fisherman symbol). If several Wilds appear on the screen simultaneously, each Fisherman symbol will reap available cash prizes separately.

Wild

The Fisherman symbol hits any reel, appearing only during the bonus FS game. Besides gathering cash prizes, the Wild also replaces any other paying picture, except for the Scatter.

Wild collecting meter

Every 4th Wild collected brings 10 extra FS and the higher multiplier (x2, x3, x10). There are only 3 times to retrigger Free Spins allowed. Hence, the maximum number of extra Free Spins is 30.

Random Features

Each of these three features can suddenly activate during Free Spins:

• If the Wild is on the grid, but there are no fishes, the Dynamite feature can make Money symbols appear on the screen.
• When the Fisherman symbol is in view, but there are no fishes on the play grid, the Bazooka feature can occasionally trigger to cast several Money symbols on the reels.

• If Money symbols are on the playfield but no Fisherman ones are in view, the Hook feature can trigger to carry the Wild onto the grid.

Buy Free Spins

There are two buy bonus options available:

• Buy FS (x100)
• Buy Super FS (x300)

Both options deliver a random number of Free Spins. The only distinctions Super Free Spins boast compared to ordinary ones are 3 Wilds to collect for Free Spins retriggering and the bigger third multiplier, which is x20 here.

Ante Bet

Also, one can pile on the chances of triggering the bonus FS game activation. Yet, while 'Ante bet' mode is enabled, you'll be paying 50% over the usual bet size during each spin, whereas your winnings will be calculated as if your stake is still x1.

Our Experience Playing Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler

We played this slot for 300 spins to explore whether it was fun and profitable enough. The stake established for each round was €1. The initial deposit was €200. 

The 1st hundred spins delivered four bonus games that brought us as much as €396.5. Besides that, there were also 10 base game prizes, varying from €0.5 to €10. So, after the 100th spin, we had €518. 

The next hundred spins triggered the bonus FS round only once, bringing €56.5. The quantity of regular wins was 13 (€0.5 - €5). When these 100 spins were out, our game balance was €504. 

The final hundred spins didn't bring bonus game activation, whereas the number of ordinary wins was the same as previously—13. Their sizes fluctuated from €0.5 to €10. After the 300-spin gaming session ended, we had €447.5. Hence, we earned precisely €227.5. 

Here are all the detailed statistics:  

As you can see, traditionally, in the sequels of the popular Big Bass series, the main game isn't that tempting since it brings rare and small prizes. During our 300-spin playing session, no regular win exceeded even x10. On the contrary, the bonus FS game is extremely profitable, thanks to the money-collecting mechanics, multipliers, and up to 30 extra FS. Moreover, we witnessed frequent bonus game activations.

Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler Verdict

Traditionally for 'Big Bass' slots, one more follow-up of this series boasts an excellent FS round featuring instant prize collecting, multipliers, and extra FS. All that makes this game sufficiently profitable. Our personal playing experience strongly supports this thesis. Also, we were pleasantly surprised they had a frequency of Free Spins triggering. The only drawback is the customizable RTP value. Therefore, strive to choose the best-paying version of this slot. So, if you like games with delightful graphics, feasting-your-eyes animations, and lucrative Free Spins, this game is one of the best choices.
