Game Overview

Whether you’re sick to the back teeth of fishing-themed slots or not, game providers continue to be relentless with their production. Thankfully, a splattering of these games are fairly decent, and today’s developer, Blueprint Gaming, whose Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways slot we’re taking a look at, has a good reputation in this niche thanks to their Fishin Frenzy franchise. A quick overview of the stats reveals a 6-reel slot with up to 15,625 ways to win, an RTP of 96%, and a maximum win of 50,000x bet.

It’s all pretty much a standard affair for a fishing slot in the base game, with nothing really too exciting to report back. As always, it’s the bonus round in these styles of games where things begin to heat up and to make your way there on Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways; you’ll need to land a minimum of three scatter symbols in view. Before the feature gets underway, you’ll get to pick from several fish that can upgrade and enhance your bonus with modifiers and extra symbols. Then, once the spins begin, each time the Fisherman lands simultaneously as a cash value, he will reel that amount in. Furthermore, each Fisherman moves you one position along the progressive meter where more spins and win multipliers can be won.

How about it then, my fellow anglers? Can I tempt you for another trip out to sea so we can attempt to land a few whopping big wins? Practice your landing technique before we set sail and try our free Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways slot demo, ready for you to play below.

If you’re having a touch of déjà vu and think that you’ve seen this slot before, then that will be because Blueprint released Big Catch Bass Fishing a while back, so in essence, this is just a Megaways upgrade of that game. There are dozens of fishing slots to choose from here at our demo portal if you want to explore the niche further, but a couple to check out if you’re entirely new to this particular genre of video slot are Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza and 4ThePlayers 4 Fantastic Fish in Egypt.

Over to the paytable, and the highest paying symbol is the Boat worth 200x bet for a winning combination of six. Next is the Fishing Rod at 100x, then we have the Lure, valued at 50x, followed by the Tackle Box at 25x, and the last of the premium pays are the Fish symbols, paying 10x bet for a six of a kind win. The industry standard Royal symbols represent the low pays, with the Ace and King sharing payouts of 5x, whilst the Queen, Jack and Ten all award 2x the bet for a full line of six. The Fisherman acts as the Wild in the game but is only present during the free spins feature.

I’ve said this in previous reviews of their slots, but Blueprint always offers their players an extensive range of bets to play at, and that’s again the case here on Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways. The minimum price to spin the reels starts at €0.10, with the maximum bet reaching €100. In total, there are 24 other stakes to choose between these amounts, making the game accessible to punters with all sized bankrolls.

Free Spins Feature

The free spins feature will begin once your starting position and enhancers have been determined. Each time the Fisherman lands simultaneously as any of the cash symbols, he will reel those amounts in and add them to your balance. Additionally, for every 4th Fisherman that lands, a re-trigger will take place where 10 extra spins are awarded, and the Fisherman symbol will have a win multiplier applied to him. These multipliers can reach as high as 10x.

Bonus Buy

Those who reside in a jurisdiction where the bonus buy function is active can trigger the free spins instantly at the cost of 100x the current bet.

Pros

  • A very well made slot that looks fantastic.
  • Plenty of modifiers that can help enhance your bonus round.

Cons

  • Nothing has been added from the original version other than the Megaways engine.

Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways Slot Final Thoughts

Of the countless number of Fishing Slots that players now have to choose from, Big Catch Bass Fishing Megaways does at least offer some entertaining gameplay thanks to the Megaways mechanic and the modifiers that can be won before the bonus kicks in. If you've played the original version of this slot, though, you'll likely be underwhelmed. Still, it's worth a few spins, at the very least, in my opinion.
