Play Area Blast Double Bass Slot Game

Fishing themed online slots don’t exactly need help filling the pond, but Area Vegas decided to throw another line in anyway with Area Blast Double Bass. It’s not just another angler’s tale, though. This one comes with a quirky feature called Area Blast that mixes respins, locked reels, multipliers, and oversized trigger fish. You’ll also spot a bonus picker swimming by with a potential 5,000x win and Free Spins where things get just a bit more lively. 

Area Blast Double Bass doesn’t stray far from the classic fishing formula, but it does anchor itself in a calm lakeside setting. The transparent reels are submerged, with symbols floating under the surface while a fisherman waits patiently in his boat. You get the typical floaty, bubbly underwater scene, but the emphasis here is on the gameplay. The visuals do just enough to remind you you’re not in a fruit machine.  

There are two sets of paying symbols in Area Blast Double Bass: standard royals for the lows, and various fishing items for the highs. Here's how they stack up: 

Special Symbols 

• Wild Symbol: Depicts a group of fish. Substitutes for all standard symbols and pays up to 10x for five of a kind. It does not replace Fish Prizes, Area Blast Triggers, or Scatters.  
   
• Scatter Symbol: Represented by a trophy. Landing 3 of them awards Free Spins.  
   
• Area Blast Trigger Symbol: A tall green fish appearing only on reels 1 and 5. Triggers the Area Blast feature when combined with any Fish Prize symbol.  
   
• Fish Prize Symbols: Coloured fish that carry random cash values up to 100x. Can trigger the Pick Feature. 

Area Blast Feature 

The Area Blast is triggered when a fully visible green Trigger Fish lands on reel 1 or 5 and there’s at least one Fish Prize Symbol on the grid. When activated, all visible Fish Prize Symbols are instantly collected, and the reel containing the trigger is locked in place. Any partially visible trigger symbols nudge to fill the reel completely. The rest of the reels respin, and if more Fish Prizes or Trigger Symbols land, the process repeats. There’s also a multiplier that increases by 1x with each respin and resets when the feature ends. 

Free Spins 

Land three Scatter trophies to get 10 Free Spins. During the round, any partial Area Blast Trigger Symbol automatically nudges into view to activate the feature. The Area Blast plays out as usual, and you can trigger it multiple times throughout the Free Spins. However, you won’t be able to trigger the Pick Feature here, and there’s no retriggering Free Spins either. 

Pick Feature 

This one comes out of nowhere. At the end of any base game spin, the game may randomly activate the Pick Feature. You’re presented with bobbers to choose from, each revealing a prize: Mini (5x), Minor (20x), Major (100x), or Mega (5,000x). The first prize to potentially appear three times is the one awarded. Multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x can also show up on Mini, Minor, or Major wins. 

Area Blast Double Bass operates on a 5-reel, 4-row layout with 20 paylines. Wins form from left to right and require a minimum of three matching symbols starting from the leftmost reel. Most of the action, though, is packed into the special features, particularly the Area Blast mechanic, which gives the base game a sense of momentum once it kicks off. Standard spins are simple, but things could escalate quickly with respins and multipliers in play. 

If you're looking for more slot games with aquatic themes and collection mechanics, here are a few from our catalogue you might want to look into: 

• Eric’s Big Catch: A Viking twist on the fishing theme, featuring walking wilds, fish prize collections, and respins with multipliers. 
• Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 2 Rapid Fire: A familiar setup with fish prizes and a Free Spins round, featuring the iconic fisherman collection mechanic. 
• Wild Wild Bass 2: Puts its focus on unlocking additional reels and collecting big-value bass with the help of Wild symbols. 

Area Blast Double Bass has some solid ideas in its net. The base game is easy-going, but the Area Blast feature is where things get a little more dynamic with respins and rising multipliers. The Pick Feature adds some unpredictability, though it feels more like a side quest than a core mechanic. Visually, it doesn’t push the boat out too far, but for fans of this genre, it’s a serviceable addition with just enough to set it apart, especially if you're into mechanics that hinge on stacked symbols and nudges.
