The format for Keeping It Reel will be familiar to Big Bass fishing fans. There are some minor alterations, but as usual, it’s all about hitting the free spins round for the big wins.
Land 3 Or More Scatter To Trigger The Free Spins Bonus
The scatter is represented by the leaping fish. You need to land 3 or more to trigger the free spins round. Spins are awarded as follows:
- 3 Scatters: 10 free spins
- 4 Scatters: 15 free spins
- 5 Scatters: 20 free spins
As in other Big Bass games there is a second chance feature that may randomly trigger when you land just 2 scatters. Then, a hook may appear over the game area and pull up a reel to reveal the extra scatter.
Money Symbols Are Worth Up To 1,000x
In the free spins round, fish symbols land with money values attached to them. They can be 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x or 1,000x.
Wilds and Golden Wilds Collect Fish Values
A new Golden Wild becomes active in the free spins round. And the value of fish symbols is only activated when the Golden Wild or Regular Wild lands at the same time. However, in this instance, fish symbol values that are NOT collected don’t just disappear. Instead, they are stored in a landing net and when a Golden Wild lands then it will also collect the value of what’s in the net.
But watch out, because with each free spin one of the fish symbols in the next will escape and swim off, so the total value diminishes each time.
Wild Symbols And Progressive Multiplier
During the free spins round, all wild symbols – gold and regular – are collected in a meter. Once 4 have been collected, the round is extended by 10 more spins and a 2x win multiplier comes into play. Once 8 have been collected then the round is further extended by 10 spins and the multiplier goes up to 3x. Finally, once 12 wilds have been collected, then 10 more spins are awarded and the multiplier goes up to 10x.
Second Chance Features
Again, Pragmatic Play introduce a ‘second chance’ feature here, one that is found in other Big Bass slots. It increases your odds of collecting the cash.
When wilds land but no fish – dynamite explosions cause fish to drop in randomly on the reels OR a boat appears and drives across the reels with a net behind it, randomly replacing standard symbols with fish as it does.
When fish land but no wilds – a hook appears and randomly pulls a reel up with a wild on it.
