Pragmatic Play are teaming up with Reel Kingdom to update their popular Big Bass Bonanza slot series with a high-paying sequel ‘Keeping It Reel’ this November.

This is the fifth in the series which began with the original Big Bass Bonanza in December 2020 and has since featured Bigger Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Bonanza Megaways, Christmas Big Bass Bonanza and Big Bass Splash.

The stand-out feature of this latest iteration is its top win of 10,000x which far exceeds previous versions. The highest payout previously is Big Bass Splash which topped-out at 5,000x.

Here are some more interesting facts about the game ahead of our full review in the coming weeks.

What Can We Expect From This Slot?

So far, beyond the basic maths published above, Pragmatic and Reel Kingdom are keeping the mechanics under wraps. But after the success of Big Bass Bonanza Splash, our expectations are high! What we do know of course is that the game will still feature your favourite bearded-fisherman testing his skills against the elusive bass.

Splash was all about Wilds which triggered a collect feature bringing together all the cash symbols on the reels. Collecting four wilds re-triggered this and set up 10 free spins. It was this simple, but fast-moving gameplay, coupled with a 96.71% RTP and high variance that made ‘Splash’ such a hit.

We expect Reel Kingdom to build on these features and maybe add in one or two extras. Will we see an expanding reel set? More progressive multipliers? Or perhaps Mystery Symbols just like the recent Happy Hooves game?

We will soon find out. What we do know is that Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom’s pedigree means that this is one of the highlights of the release calendar for the remainder of 2022.
