Reel in Big Wins With 5 New Fishing Slots - Hook, Line, and Sinker!
By Shane Addinall Oct 28, 2022 Game ReleaseWe discover the highly anticipated fishing-themed slot from Pragmatic Play and reveal four other angling titles from leading software providers. Grab your tacklebox and sunscreen because we’re heading to sunny shores.Fishing is one of the oldest hobbies of humankind, and at some stage, it became so popular that we transformed it into a sport. Some still prefer to enjoy laid-back angling for their leisure, but those who choose to make a sport of it take it very seriously. Bass fishing is popular among anglers because it requires a certain skill level and special lures, almost like fly fishing which, unfortunately, is limited to certain regions.
Regardless of the type of fishing, the hobby is first nature to many and so popular that it inspired countless online slot titles. The following new releases from Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Evoplay, Jelly, and Play’n GO spin in the waters where the catch can be bountiful.
✓ Big Bass Bonanza: Keeping it Reel by Pragmatic Play
Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play released their latest fishing adventure slot with bigger potential but the same feature we all love in the series of angling-themed slots. Big Bass Bonanza: Keeping it Reel adds to the already successful Big Bass Bonanza franchise and will not disappoint loyal followers.
- Reels: 5 x 3
- Paylines: 10
- Volatility: High
- RTP: 96.07%
- Stakes: €0.10 - €375
- Max Win: 10,000x Bet
Join the friendly fisherman with bass eager to bite and the lures bringing in a bigger catch than ever before.
Cooler Waters and Bigger Fish
Punters familiar with the slot series by Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom will recognise the reel set-up, colourful symbols, and bearded angler standing above the reels. The setting changed in the new instalment of the Big Bass story, as grey waters and snow-capped mountains tell us the fisherman chose a colder location to reel in big bass this time.
Below the water's surface, the lake is buzzing with life as fish swim behind the transparent reels, and colourful aquatic plants cause bubbles to float to the surface. The developer stuck with the all-time-favourite soundtrack and effects of gulls flying nearby, giving the game an uplifting and relaxing vibe.
Paying symbols must line up from left to right on the 10 paylines to trigger a payout in the base game. Card royals 10 to Ace and the fish icons represent the low-paying symbols, while the tackle box and dragonfly pay medium returns. The fishing reel and float pay high rewards, and all symbols trigger payout when 3 to 5 of a kind appear on paylines, except the float that pays from 2 of a kind.
The fisherman is the Wild that substitutes for all paying symbols. This is a high-volatility slot game, meaning there can be long periods with no wins, so adjust your bankroll accordingly.
Reeling in the Extras
Next to the reels is a toggle switch that costs x1.5 your stake to activate. When selected, the control increases your odds of landing Big Bass Scatter symbols for access to the Free Spins bonus feature, where you can win up to 10,000x your stake. Although the fish symbols align for payouts in the base game, they only pay the displayed money values during the bonus feature.
When 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols land in one base game spin, players win 10, 15, or 20 Free Spin games. It is possible for a random trigger of the Free Spin feature when 2 Scatter land in the base game and a hook animation reveals the third Scatter. During the bonus feature, a landing net appears above the reels, and the value of the money fish that appear during each spin increases the value displayed on the net.
When a fisherman Wild appears along with money fish, it collects the value of the fish on the reels as a prize and subtracts the value from the landing net. Fish escape from the net randomly, taking their value from the total. A golden Wild can also appear, and when it does, players win the total value of the net. Every instance of a Wild increase the meter below the reels to award extra Free Spins with every 4th instance. Every time the meter reaches the 4th Wild position, it increases the win multiplier.

The Highs and Lows of Angling
Meet Red Tiger's fisherman, who sits above the reels in his fishing boat, ready to catch money fish. He doses off now and then as he takes in the relaxing sights surrounding him and waits for a fish to bite. The slot sits below the water's surface, surrounded by mountains and beautiful nature. Birds chirping, water sounds, and country blues music create an immersive game setting.
Royals represent the low-paying symbols, and players collect medium to high returns when the reel, fishing hat, tackle box, or boat appears in combinations of 3 to 5 of a kind. There is no Wild symbol in Bass Boss.
Anticipating the Big Catch
Various types and sizes of fish appear as money symbols, and when the angler randomly drops his line into the water, he reels in the fish on the row that lines up with the hook. The float on his line can randomly display a multiplier to increase the win.
Small fish pay between 2x and 5x the stake, medium fish pay 10x to 15x, and large fish pay 30x to 50x the bet. The extra-large fish awards payouts worth 100x to 200x the stake.
Three, four, or five contest wins Scatter symbols award ten, fifteen, or twenty Free Spins. During the feature, the angler constantly has his line in the water and either hold it in one position or moves it up or down after collecting wins.

Tranquil Angling
In true Evoplay style, Mega Greatest Catch is a visual masterpiece with crisp graphics and beautiful design. Players enter a slot setting where the grey-haired fisherman lies leisurely in his boat, waiting for a tug at the fishing rod. Below the water line floats five reels with four rows each, and whimsical music fills the air to create a relaxing fishing expedition.
Card royals in bubbles represent lower returns, and the fish, snack bag, and frog reward medium payouts. A sun hat and boot award high payouts, and the fisherman Wild substitutes for all paying symbols, plus it pays equal to the highest symbol for 3 to 5 of a kind, and only appears in Free Spins.
Extras in the Greatest Catch
During the bonus game, various fish symbols appear with values equal to multiples of the stake. These values range between x2, x5, x10, x20, x25, x50, and x2,000. The Scatter fish symbol triggers Free Spins, and with 3, 4, or 5 on the reels, players win 10, 15, and 20 spins, respectively.
When a Wild lands with fish symbols during the bonus game, it collects the values of all the fish on the reels. Every fourth Wild awards 10 Free Spins and increase the win multiplier to a maximum value of x10.

Catch of the Day
Wild Fishin' Wild Ways plays out close to a seaside village, and the reels hover above the waters in a wooden frame covered with moss and rope. Seagulls and jovial honky-tonk music play to lighten the atmosphere, while ocean sounds create an immersive experience.
Enjoy the sights of the coastal setting while the reels fill with low-paying symbols represented by card royals made from wood. Medium rewards trigger when the fishing rod and a cute worm on a hook create matching combinations, and the boat and pelican pay higher dividends for three to five of a kind. A grey-bearded fisherman represents the Wild and does more than substitute paying symbols.
Bonus Features
Various fish symbols appear on reels 3 to 5 and display money values when they land on the reels. When the Wild symbol lands on reels 1 and 2, it activates the Wild Fishin' feature, where the veteran fisherman collects all the values of the fish symbols.
The tugboat Scatter symbol holds the key to Free Spins, and when 3 appear in one spin, or one appears on reel three during the Wild Fishin' feature, players enter the bonus game. Players collect money fish with 10 spins on the counter, and the Wild Fishin' feature expands reels for more winning ways.
✓ Boat Bonanza by Play’n GO
Splash out with leading software provider, Play’n GO on its epic angling adventure slot game, Boat Bonanza. Punters cast their lines and hope to reel in the most prized catch the ocean has to offer off the coast of the UK.

A Saltwater Adventure
Upbeat music of what could be a string quartet welcome us to the watery destination where the reels lie beneath the water's surface. On the horizon, we can see a coastal metropolis and two tugboats floating on the ocean. Crystal clear waters, sunny weather, and the sounds of waves rolling in transport us to the animated angling adventure's destination.
Paying symbols comprise royals as the low-paying icons and a net cage, a seagull, a reel, and a buoy as the mid to high-paying symbols. Fish symbols landing on paylines also award standard payout for three to five of the same kind.
Bonanza Bonus Features
The fish symbols appear with monetary values, and the tugboats can catch these for wins worth up to x1,000 your stake. If the tugboats are grey, this indicates a resting phase where no cash collect action takes place. But a big catch is imminent when they are in full colour and above a reel where fish appear. Two active boats trigger the Mega Catch that collects all money fish on the reels.
Landing 3 to 5 Scatter symbols in the base game triggers 10 to 20 Free Spins. In this bonus game, two tugboats are active in every spin and display multipliers to increase the value of the catch. After every cash collect instance, a respin triggers where more fish could appear.
