Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler Slot Review

I’ve been riding motorbikes 🏍️ for many years and I never understood why some people opt for those three-wheeler things.

A tricycle is something you had as a kid 👶, and when you graduate to a bigger bicycle, you have training wheels on – which is pretty much a trike. So, if you can’t ride a bike, stick to your cage and stop annoying genuine bikers. 😡

Another annoying thing with three wheels, I mean reels, is Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler slot 🎰 from Pragmatic Play. Why is it annoying? Only because the studio has released a billion of these games. To be fair, they’re pretty solid and y’all seem to love them. 🙄

Gameplay

Just when you thought they couldn’t come up with yet another concept to hang a new Big Bass game off of… ta-da! Here we go again.

This latest version harks back to its roots in terms of looks, but as the name suggests, there are only three reels this time (and three rows).

As is the way of these games, the potential payout is substantial: $350,000 in this case. The 5,000x max multiplier is half of what the studio offered with Big Bass Xmas Xtreme slot, but that game has a very high volatility rate, while our current one is high.

There are 5 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.50%, and the only currency you can’t play with is the Japanese yen.

The Wild symbol is our fisherman (surprise!) and he replaces symbols that aren’t Scatters. The Scatter is a leaping fish. The other symbols are the usual fare: floats, rods and reels, dragonflies, tackle boxes, and Fish/Money symbols.

Features

MONEY SYMBOLS:

Fish symbols take on a random multiplier with each spin (the values can be won in the Free Spins feature) and these could be 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,666x, 2,500x, or 5,000x your bet.

You could also see the same paying symbol randomly covering reels 1 and 2 fully. Also, a hook can appear at odd times, bringing 1 to 3 Scatters onto the reels, which can help initiate the main feature.

FREE SPINS:

It takes a minimum of 3 Scatters to get into the Free Spins round. You’ll be awarded 10 spins but also 2 extra spins for each Scatter that lands on the top row of the grid, and 1 more spin for each Scatter found on the middle row (only on the triggering spin).

Now, all landed Wilds will collect the values from the Fish/Money symbols, and Wilds themselves are collected.

Every 4th Wild that’s collected awards 10 more spins and the Money symbols’ multiplier goes up to 2x, 3x, and 10x for the first, second, and third re-triggers, respectively.

Some things can happen randomly during Free Spins:

  • If there are Wilds on the grid but no Fish, Money symbols can appear in random positions thanks to the Dynamite Spin feature

  • If there are Fish symbols on the grid but no Wilds, a hook can appear and it will pull up a random reel with a Wild symbol on it

  • If there are Wilds on the grid but no Fish, a Bazooka animation can take place which transforms all symbols – other than Wilds – into a random symbol

BUY BONUS:

There are two Buy Bonus options:

Pay 100x your bet for immediate entry into the Free Spins round

Pay 300x your bet for immediate entry into the Super Free Spins round. Now, only 3 Wilds need to be collected to re-trigger the Spins and the multiplier after the 3rd re-trigger is boosted to 20x

ANTE WHEEL:

Pay an extra 50% on your current bet for a higher chance of triggering Free Spins.

Performance

I had no problems with this game during testing.

Maximum Win

Betting ranges from $0.10 to $70. You can win $350,000, and the max multiplier is 5,000x.

Conclusion

I can’t believe the studio is still milking the Big Bass concept for what it’s worth. I mean, how much longer can they keep releasing a game in this series where they’ve changed one thing? And no, that’s not a challenge, Pragmatic.

This latest version is similar to Big Bass Double Down Deluxe slot, in as much as we have the Super Free Spins Buy Bonus option.

However, that game has 10 paylines, and its volatility rate is “very high,” but it offers the same stats as the current game. So, it makes sense to opt for Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler slot with its slightly better risk: reward ratio.
