Pragmatic Play, a major provider of online casino games and content, has recently released a new slot title called Big Bass Floats My Boat, the latest addition to their popular Big Bass franchise. This lighthearted 5x3 video slot features the return of the beloved fisherman character as he tries his luck in familiar fishing waters filled with tackle boxes, boats, and other symbols tied to the hobby.
As detailed in the original announcement from Pragmatic Play, the game includes standard left to right pays and a special "fish money" symbol that delivers random cash prizes whenever it lands. The excited fisherman himself may also randomly appear after any spin in the base game to catch some of these fish money symbols with his net, multiplying their payouts up to 50 times.
Free spins are triggered by landing three, four or five scatter symbols, awarding 10, 15 or 20 bonus rounds respectively. But even two scatters can lead to good fortune - they may activate a respin or make the fun octopus character appear to transform symbols into scatters for an extra chance at entering the feature.
Once in free spins, the gameplay gets even more interesting. Each space on the grid starts with a 1x multiplier that keeps increasing every time a new fish money icon lands on it. Whenever the fisherman lands, he awards the combined value of all the current fish money symbols along with their respective multipliers. After every fourth collected fisherman, the mode is retriggered to add another 10 free spins. And if the fisherman turns up empty-handed, players can count on the octopus to deliver instant cash prizes to keep the fun going.
As Pragmatic Play's Irina Cornides points outs, the engaging bonus round is filled with rising multipliers and surprise transformations by the octopus, both of which can lead to big wins. This injects even more volatility and anticipation into an already popular series.
The Big Bass series of slots are well known for their light, casual gameplay and charming lead character. Big Bass Floats My Boat fully embraces this approach with bright, cartoony graphics and a upbeat soundtrack one might expect to hear in a situational comedy. The 5x3 format also means it can be played equally well on desktop and mobile.
While maintains the recreational fishing theme the franchise is known for, the new title puts the fisherman directly in his element out on the lake, leading to scenes and imagery not seen in other Big Bass games. Players will be treated to more visual variety compared to past installments.
In summary, Big Bass Floats My Boat succeeds at advancing Pragmatic Play’s proven Big Bass formula with a captivating new backdrop and bonuses that work together to increase volatility and payout potential compared to earlier games. Fans are responding positively to the enhanced features and the star fisherman's latest misadventures. As online slots continue trending towards bigger gameplay elements, this release shows Pragmatic Play is committed to giving players more action and surprises without sacrificing what made the series popular in the first place.
