Game Overview
Relaxing on the water edge with a picnic and enjoying some peace and quiet sounds like the perfect day, doesn’t it? Well, how about the chance to put a bit of money in your pocket at the same time too? That’s what is offered in the 9 Bass video slot from Oros Gaming in partnership with Microgaming. Cast out your line and play with 5 reels, 10 fixed paylines and an RTP of 96.24%. Reel yourself in a whopper, and you can land wins up to a maximum of 2,000x your bet.
Fishing might not be the most exciting of pastimes for some, but Oros has at least tried to increase the entertainment levels on their fish themed slot. First up, we have the Bass Symbol; if 3 or more of these appear on the reels, you’ll be awarded a scatter win. Things get even more enjoyable with the addition of the free spins feature. This is triggered when a bonus symbol lands on reels 2, 3, and 4. Watch the wheel spin to reveal your free spin total and fixed win multiplier.
Are you joining us in the bait shop before we head out to the lake for a spot of fishing? You know it makes sense, so come and take a look at our full review of the game, where you can also access and play a free demo slot of 9 Bass anytime you like.
9 Bass Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Well, you don’t exactly need to be Sherlock Holmes to work out what the theme of this slot is. It is, of course, fishing, and it would seem that game providers are still very much cashing in on the success and popularity of Pragmatic Play and their Big Bass slot franchise, which brought a new lease of life into that genre of game. In fact, in recent times, it seems there are more fish themed slots that you can shake a stick at, and I guess that brings us nicely to Oros Gaming and their video slot title 9 Bass. The setting for the game is a lovely picturesque and peaceful lake somewhere in the middle of nowhere, so I’ll bring the food, and you bring the beers, deal? Other than some pretty basic graphics, that’s about it for the theme, other than the soundtrack, which I wouldn’t say fits in with fishing, but hey, that’s just my opinion.
It’s not quite time to get your float in the water just yet. First, we need to check in over on the paytable. Upon opening this up and taking a closer look, we find that the lower paying symbols are made up of a bar and 3 different coloured fishing lures. The higher value symbols consist of mixed 7s, single 7s, double 7s, and triple 7s, with these weighing in at 3.25x, 7.5x, 20x, and 37.50x for a 5 of a kind win, respectively. The game does include a self titled wild symbol, and along with substituting for all other regular symbols within the game, it is also the highest paying, with players receiving 125x their bet if 5 appear on an active win line,
So, the bait is on the hook, and you’re ready to cast your line out into the calm waters, but before you do, you’ll need to select a bet size. These start from just €0.20 a spin and reach up to a mind boggling €120, so there’s plenty of range for players of all budgets to spin the reels on this slot. Ticking the last box in this section of the review, we reach the return to player percentage of 9 Bass. This is very respectable and well above the industry average at 96.24%.
Base Game & Modifiers
Oros Gaming has chosen a 5×4 reel configuration for the 9 Bass online slot, which comes fully loaded with 20 fixed paylines. Match a minimum of 3 symbols starting from the leftmost reel first, and you’ll have bagged a win that will be added to your balance. Sounds simple in theory, right?
Bass Symbol Cash Prize
You will see the Bass cash win meter located to the left of the reels. Wins are awarded from here when 3 or more bass symbols appear on the reel set. Land 9 in view, and you’ll scoop a cool 2,000x bet; sounds reasonably straightforward, doesn’t it, but I never saw more than 6 during testing.
9 Bass Slot Free Spins Feature
The free spins bonus scatter symbol will only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and if you can land these in view, the feature will be triggered, and you will be taken to the bonus wheel. This will spin and award you a free spin and win multiplier combo, which can reach as high as 30 spins and a 3x multiplier. The bonus will then play out with any wins having your multiplier applied to them. Players should note that bonus can be re-triggered.
9 Bass Slot Review Final Thoughts
With so many fish themed slots currently on the market, it’s going to be hard for any provider to break into the top 10 most popular games within that niche. Regarding 9 Bass, I can’t say this is a terrible game, but it’s certainly not one of the best. I was a little surprised that the multiplier you received before the free spins didn’t apply to the Bass Scatter Wins, as I have seen on other games similar to this, so maybe Oros Gaming missed a trick there. By all means, take the demo above for a test drive, but I don’t think this will be a game you will be returning to with any regularity.
