Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe

Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe: Slot Overview

It is indeed time, folks, for another addition to one of the biggest slot series in existence, Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom's fishtastic, ever-growing, ever-recurring Big Bass range. Mixed feelings. For the most part, these are playable games designed in the time-honoured Fishin' Frenzy fashion of collecting fish money symbols with the use of wild fisherman collector symbols. On the other hand, aren't there enough of them already? Guess not if Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe has anything to say about it, delivering another round of fish money collection activity.

Vegas isn't really known for fishing, is it? Gambling and livin' the fast life seem to be more strongly associated with the town known as Sin City. Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe takes place in town, however, so maybe in an aquarium, or bah, why bother trying to justify what's going on here? To the top, we've got fountains and resorts, while beneath that is an underwater scene. Good enough to continue if the thought of the nine-hundredth BB slot hasn't put you off already.

As they often do, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe plays out on a 5-reel, 3-row gaming matrix with 10 paylines on the board. This is a highly volatile Vegas fishing trip producing a default RTP of 96.5% when betting 10 c to $/€250 per paid game round. Players are also free to activate the ante bet, increasing the chance of triggering free spins for an extra 50% added to the stake.

On the pay symbol side, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe has 10 to A playing card symbols, fish, tackle boxes, fishing rods, pelicans, and pink speed boats. Lines of 5 identical royals get you 5 to 10 times your bet, while full lines of the rest pay 20 to 200 times the bet. Wilds don't come on the neon scene until free spins trigger.

Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe: Slot Features

Fish symbols are also Money symbols landing with values of 2x to 5,000x the bet, which cannot be collected in the main game. However, landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols triggers 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. In the base game, when 2 scatters land, there is a chance a third is brought into view via a respin or a hook feature.

Free Spins

During free spins, wild fisherman symbols may land on the reels. As well as substituting any pay symbol, wild fisherman symbols collect the value of all Money symbols in view. Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe has two type of wilds: Blue and red wilds that land are collected separately on a blue meter or red meter. Every fourth wild fisherman of the same colour collected awards another batch of +10 free spins with a multiplier applied to Money symbols collected by that wild colour. The first retrigger is an x2, the second retrigger is an x3, and the third retrigger is an x10. The feature cannot be retriggered after reaching the final level on both meters.

Randomly, Money symbols may appear on the screen if there are wild fisherman symbols and no Money symbols via a dynamite feature. Or, wild fisherman symbols may appear on the screen when there are Money symbols and no wild fisherman symbols via a hook feature. In addition, a bazooka animation may appear to change all the symbols from the screen except wild fisherman symbols to something else when there are wild fisherman symbols but no fish in view.

Feature Buy

At the bonus buy menu, there are two options. One is 100x the bet for free spins triggered by at least 3 scatter symbols. The other is 300x the bet for super free spins triggered by at least 4 scatter symbols where only 3 wild fisherman symbols of any colour collected in any meter retrigger the feature.

Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe: Slot Verdict

Even amongst the most hardcore of Big Bass fans, little to nothing about Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe is unmissable. It really is business as usual as players attempt to trigger free spins where they get the chance to hook fish Money symbols with the help of wild fisherman symbols. Okay, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe might have two wild fisherman symbols, a red and a blue one, but this doesn't really have a major impact on the overall experience when compared to earlier BB releases. It might shake up the free spins around to a minor extent, though that's questionable, and Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe is by no means a Big Bass paradigm shift. In fact, if Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe never happened, it's unlikely even the most dedicated bass zealots would shed many tears.

The good news? Hmm, well, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe doesn't perform any worse than the bulk of the other Big Bass slots floating about the briny. Collect Money symbols, get multipliers for doing so, haul in, cast out, repeat. Some gamblers might appreciate the lowered, collect three wilds to level up part of the super free spins buy, perhaps. Max win at 5,000x the bet isn't shabby for the series, either. Other than those pushed-for positive attributes, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe goes through the motions just swell but adds little to a series already bursting at the seams with choice.
