Again, no surprises with the gameplay here. Nothing much doing in the base game other than payline wins whilst you wait for those scatters to drop. Then the fun begins.
3 Or More Bass Scatters Unlock Free Spins
You need 3 or more bass scatters to trigger the bonus round. That gets you 10, 15 or 20 free spins for 3, 4 or 5 scatters.
There is a ‘near miss’ feature as well that we see in other Big Bass slots. So, if you land TWO scatters but not the third then:
IF the two scatters can drop down one reel without falling off the screen, then they nudge down one and the reels respin to see if you can land a third.
OR … a hook appears and drops down before pulling one reel up to show a third scatter.
3 Scatters trigger free spinsUp To 5 Free Spins Round Modifiers
This part of Big Bass Halloween 2 is taken directly from Big Bass Splash and it certainly spices things up. FIVE modifiers are available for the free spins round. From 1 to 5 will be chosen at random before the spins start.
- More Fish – more fish money symbols are available to be caught
- More Fishermen – more wilds are available to catch those fish money symbols
- More Dynamite, Hooks and Chainsaws – more chance of triggering either of these 3 features
- Start From Level 2 – you go straight to the second level on the progressive board above the reels with a bigger multiplier
- + 2 Spins – this powerful modifier starts the round with 2 more spins AND adds 2 more to every level on the progressive board
A 20x win in testingFish Money Symbols and Wilds
The idea is simple. Fish landing during free spins display money values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,666x, 2,500x or 5,000x.
You need to land fish money symbols AND fisherman wilds at the same time to collect the money values.
Progressive Board and Multipliers
The best part about the bonus round is the chance to build a big win multiplier and extend the round. You do this by collecting wilds. Each time one lands it is added to the board above the reels and every FOURTH one collected triggers a level-up.
- 4 Wilds – 10 more spins and 2x multiplier
- 8 Wilds – 10 more spins and 3x multiplier
- 12 Wilds – 10 more spins and 10x multiplier
Second Chances …
As with other Big Bass games, there are second chances when fish symbols land but no wild, or the other way around.
Firstly, if fisherman wilds are present but no fish, a dynamite feature causes an explosion which MAY bring fish onto the reels OR a chainsaw will move across the screen causing all symbols except wilds to change, MAYBE bringing fish symbols into play.
Alternatively, if there are fish but no wilds then a hook may appear and bring fisherman wilds up onto the reels.
And that’s your lot. As I said, anyone who has played Big Bass Splash will recognise this as pretty much a clone of that slot.
