The Big Bass series of online slots has proved to be hugely popular, with these titles being amongst the most played fishing-themed casino games of all time. In this variation, players are taken to a lake that features a gold hue, alongside a submerged castle and a sword to the right of the board. These refer to the Legend of King Arthur, which is referred to throughout the Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake slot. Perhaps the biggest nod to King Arthur is the fisherman's change of attire, as he now pops up wearing a crown and holding a shield. Medieval music and sound effects can also be heard in the background.
Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake comes with 5 reels and 3 rows, alongside 10 fixed paylines that can all be covered with a min stake size of 0.10 per spin. The classic Pragmatic Play interface has also been used, keeping things straightforward for players.
Of course, the 'Big Bass' series of slots aren't the only online casino games that Pragmatic Play has released. They have an extensive portfolio that includes titles such as Sugar Rush, Forge of Olympus, and Heist for the Golden Nuggets, all of which can be played online at Heart Bingo!

Just like the theme, the symbols in Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake revolve around fishing-theme items with a medieval twist.
Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake also features a wild, shown as a fisherman, and a scatter, shown as a bass jumping out of the water. Wilds can replace any of the symbols shown in the table above, while scatter icons can trigger the main bonus mode. There are also fixed value fish that come with a multiple of the stake size displayed on them.
There is one bonus mode in Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake, however, it comes with two variations:
Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter icons will trigger the main bonus mode in Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins, in that order. There's also a chance that if two scatter icons land in the base game, a spin modifier will appear to add a third. At the start of the round, players are prompted to pick a card which will reveal the standard free spins bonus or the Golden Lake free spins round, which is explained below this one.
While fixed value fish can form mixed combinations in the base game, they can only be collected during the free spins mode. If a fisherman appears, any fish symbols will be reeled in and their corresponding values will be totalled up and awarded. Each fisherman will also be added to the meter and for every 4 that are accumulated, ten extra spins will be awarded and the win multiplier will be increased.
At levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, this win multiplier will sit at 1x, 2x, 3x, and 10x, respectively. Keep in mind, however, that this multiplier is only used on fixed value fish, not on matching combinations.
During the Golden Lake variations of the free spins bonus, all standard and premium icons are removed from play. This means that only fixed value fish and fisherman icons can appear on the reels. The rest of the bonus plays out in an identical way to the regular free spins mode.
There are plenty of other releases in the Big Bass series of slots for players to enjoy. Some traditional variations include the original Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Hold and Spinner, Big Bass Keeping it Reel, and Big Bass Bonanza – Reel Action.
Some of the more modern releases include Big Bass Crash, Big Bass Floats My Boat, Big Bass Day at the Races, and Big Bass Amazon Xtreme!
