Pragmatic Play have released so many instalments in the Big Bass series we’re struggling to keep count. It’s a collection of games that is still going strong today, with new releases welcomed by players. However, if there’s one criticism of the series, it’s that some slots are quite basic and lack originality. But in Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways, that all changes.
Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways moves away from the traditional five reels set up, with six reels ready to spin. And, because of the inclusion of Megaways, there will be up to a stunning 147,456 ways to win per round. These changes alone present enough new elements, but then the bonus features have also had a bit of an overhaul, too, just to put the cherry on the cake.
Like many Pragmatic Play slots, Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways is available to play at Heart Bingo, a respected gaming platform. But before you can spin the six reels of this slot, or any other slot, you must become a member by registering an account. To do so, select the green Sign Up button and then fill out the necessary fields presented.
Once registered, players can find Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways by using the search function on the site. Playing the game is really simple; after selecting the stake and spinning the reels, players must find three or more matching symbols from left to right to win a prize, or they will be relying on one of the special icons to come into play.
There’s a handful of bonus features to explore in Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways slot.
The tumble mechanic is active in Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways. It simply means that symbols involved in winning combinations are removed, and those above tumble down into the vacated positions. Multiple tumbles can occur in the same round.
When a lamp symbol lands during the base game or in the free spins bonus round, it will transform into a paying symbol. All instances of the lamp on the reels will change.
Three, four, five or six Big Bass scatters will trigger ten, fifteen, twenty or twenty-five free spins in Hold and Spinner. Fish money symbols can appear during the free spins, and if a fisherman wild appears simultaneously, he will reel in the fish money icons for the player. Fisherman wilds are also collected. Every four is worth ten free spins, and multipliers will come in tow, too.
Three or more coin symbols will bring into play the hold & spin bonus round. The coins stay in position, and all other icons disappear. The feature is played on a new grid with three respins awarded. Finding coin symbols resets the respin counter. Diamond icons can also appear. They’re worth up to 2,000x. The fisherman wild is the symbol needed to collect coins and diamond prizes.
As well as being able to play Big Bass Hold and Spinner Megaways at Heart Bingo, other Big Bass titles, such as the original Big Bass Bonanza and Bigger Bass Bonanza, are also available to enjoy.
The Big Bass collection isn’t the only fishing-themed series at Heart Bingo; Fishin Frenzy and instalments of the series, like Fishin Frenzy Megaways and Fishin Frenzy Scratchcard, are on there, too. As is the popular fishing slot, Fishin Pots of Gold: Gold Blitz.
