How To Play

Tap the spin button and reel in big wins

Symbols

Fishing-related objects dominate the symbol roster for this game, true to form. You'll find the regular stuff at the front row, fish, tackle box, and a fishing rod, with a Pelican and a pink speedboat bringing some novelty into the mix. For the lower-paying symbols, the 10 to A cards make it to the lineup, completing what is a fairly predictable roster.

Special symbols include the money(fish)symbols, all of which hold values worth payouts ranging from 2x to 5000x your bet. Then there's the Fisherman wilds that help claim these money symbols while also replacing all but the other special symbols in a payline. Lastly, the Scatter symbol is a curled-up fish, as usual. 

Paytable

Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe offers a range of payouts that reflect the value of its symbols. In the lower-paying end of the payout spectrum, the royal card symbols pay between 5x to 10x the bet for a full line of five. Further up the line, the thematic symbols are more rewarding, with payouts ranging from 20x to an impressive 200x the bet for five-of-a-kind combos. The Money symbols carry the most weight, with values from 2x to 5,000x the bet and payouts. 

Gameplay and Betting

If you've tried out any of the games in the very long line of Big Bass releases that Pragmatic Play rolls out frequently, you'll know what to expect here. There's plenty of fishing going on against a stunning underwater view, with fish and debris floating idly around–the regular stuff. And when you hit that spin button, there's a lot that could swim up to reveal itself on the reels, from magical hooks, bazookas and dynamites to grinning fisherman wilds.

It all makes for a chaotic but exciting gameplay experience, easy to hook on to and fun to play. Betting is flexible and adjustable, with each spin costing between 0.1 to 250 as with many Pragmatic Play Slots. You'll find Auto spin and Turbo spin buttons here to automate and speed up spins, plus a host of other on-screen controls to customize the look and feel of it. The default RTP of 96.5% is competitive, though players should be aware of the game's high volatility.

What Makes Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe Interesting

While Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe does borrow a few cues from its predecessors, it also introduces several features that spice things up and set it apart. We discuss some of them here. 

Free Spins Round

The free spins round is triggered when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatters, for which you'll be awarded 15, 20, and 25 free spins respectively. The free spins round is where all the fun stuff happens, and we'll tell you all about it here. 

We start with the two (red and blue) Fisherman Wilds that collect all the money values attached to the money symbols and pay them to your purse. Whenever a red or blue Fisherman Wilds pops up, they collect the available money values and register them on separate meters. When any of these meters collect up to four Fisherman Wilds, the free spins round is re-triggered and you get another 10 free spins to restart things.

But that's not all. For each round that retriggers, an x2 multiplier value is added to the Fisherman Wilds that collect the money symbols. This multiplier value goes from 2x to 3x and then 10x at the fourth retrigger level where it terminates. Again, that's not all–not even close. 

Whenever there are fisherman wilds on the reels but no fish money symbols to collect, a “dynamite” feature can appear to spawn fish symbols up the reels. In this same case, a bazooka animation can also appear to switch all the symbols on the reels.

Similarly, a mysterious hook can reel in fisherman symbols when there are none available to collect the available money symbols at the end of the round. 

Feature Buy 

Pragmatic Play allows you to buy right into the free spins round via two options. In the first, you get to pay 100x your bet and land three Scatters next. Alternatively, you pay 300x your bet and still hit 3 scatters on your next spin. In this case, you only need to collect 3 fisherman wilds of any color to retrigger the free spins round. 

There's also an “Ante Bet” feature that can reshape your gameplay based on a couple of bet multipliers. You can opt for the 15x bet multiplier and boost your odds of hitting the free spins round, thanks to an increased amount of scatters being present. Then there's the 10x bet multiplier that promises normal play.
