Big Bass Day at the Races

Graphics, Audio, and Symbols Big Bass Day at the Races

Big Bass Day at the Races doesn’t have a pretty face but it has a lot of personality. After all with a jackpot of $2.5 million who cares about the graphics, or audio track?

The interesting thing is that Big Bass is one of the names of the horses in the race. There are 14 of them and you must pick one.

Gameplay and Features

Money Symbols

The Money Symbols are the horses with values from 20 cents to $1,000x your stake. You’ll collect the Money Symbols on any random spin in the base game. Moreover, the size of the multiplier wins they drop start at 1x up to 50x.

Free Spins

The free spins feature initiates when 3 scatters land offering 10 free spins. When 4 or 5 scatters pitch the slot gives you a choice between 1 or 2 picks. Before the free spins feature starts a new screen opens up where you must pick a name to reveal multipliers.

You can catch one of the following goodies during the free spins:

• More Free Spins: Receive an extra 6 or more free spins.
• Fixed Gorse: Can reveal 1, 2, or 3 guaranteed Money symbols along with one or more horse items.
• Already Collected Man Wilds: Before the bonus round commences you’ll collect 1 up to 3 Man Wilds.
• Remove Lowest Horse: When it lands it removes the 2x your stake Money Symbol from the grid. When the second reveal hits it removes the 5x Money symbol.

Collecting Man Wilds Free Spins

When the Man Wilds pitch in the free spins you’ll collect them. You’ll receive 10 or more free spins for every 4th Man Wilds. The multiplier’s value increases with every free spin retrigger.

The value of the multiplier is 2x on the first retrigger. On the third it’s 3x, on the fourth it’s 4x, and so on. The multiplier’s value increases with each retrigger. Keep in mind, that the maximum retrigger is 8 with a top multiplier of 50x.

Other extras that occur during the bonus game:

• A free spin might reveal Man Wilds with no money symbols dropping Money symbols.
• A lasso may pitch when there are No Money Symbols or Man Wild.
• A Stampede ensues when there’s a Man Wild with no Money symbols. Symbols transform but not the Man Wild.
• The Lasso drags Money Symbols and the Man Wild up onto the grid.

Buy Option

You can purchase your free spins for a fee of 100x the stake and the RTP is 96.07%. The slot will randomly hurl 3, 4, or 5 scatters onto the reels.

What We Like About Big Bass Day at the Races

Pragmatic Play doesn’t muck around with the slot although it goes slightly goes off topic. More to the point, it has a “twist” with the same special features we’ve encountered in their other slots.

Tips & Strategy

The best way to experience a slot is to play it with free credits. Pragmatic Play is not stingy since they award you up to $100K in free credits to play it.

How to Win Money Big Bass Day at the Races

We played the slot with a bonus of $500 at BitStarz Casino for $2 bets. Clearing the wagering requirements wasn’t a slog as we anticipated. We put that down to the multiplier wins in the free spins.

We tested the buy option in demo mode 5 times and came up with a loss every time. As such we didn’t use it when we played the slot for real.

After 65 spins and a tidy win of $300, BitStarz cashed out our wins via Bitcoin within a few hours. Just so you know we triggered the free spins feature after 65 spins.

Verdict: Big Bass Day at the Races Slot

The impression we got when we played it was that PP hit a brick wall as far as ideas go. Why release a slot that’s practically a copy and paste of the previous Big Bass releases?

There are so many of them we’re not going to even bother to mention them. Does it mean that complacency sets in when you ride the coattails of a successful slot series? Not really but it can come across like that.

We can’t complain since we won 300x our stake, old or not, the series stays a winner. The jackpot of $2.5 million and the bonus rounds are mint. When you hit a bunch of non-winning spins.

The slot drops a rope dragging a horse onto the reels offering a respin. That at least is a nice touch and keeps the anticipation going.

Triggering the free spins feature is tough. The average free spins trigger is 1 in 250 spins, luckily there is a buy option to help you out. Betsoft’s Take the Vault Hold & Win is not as volatile.

The jackpot is 1,000x the stake, and it has a 10-round progressive rounds feature. Furthermore, it awards up to 15 free spins, and the Hold & Win feature houses four jackpots.
