Game Overview

Well, what I can say folks, your eyes are not deceiving you; we do indeed have another fishing-themed slot to tell you about today. This time on the merry-go-round, provider Red Tiger Gaming is ready to introduce you to their slot titled Bass Boss. Hmmm, not exactly original, is it? Anyway, how about the stats? This is a 5-reel game that comes with 10 fixed paylines, an RTP of 95.70% and a maximum win of 4,835x bet.

With a name like Bass Boss, you’d expect a feature set worth boasting about, and it appears there are a few interesting aspects to the game. First up is the Fisherman, who can randomly cast his line out into the water on any spin to reel in a potential win. Then we have the Nudge modifier then can trigger during the catch process, which gives additional chances to land some winning fish. This is joined by the Improved Bait Modifier that can add multipliers of up to x10 to your catch, and finally, the Contest Free Spins feature, where the Fisherman will be active on every spin, and you’ll get a chance to move along the progress bar where more spins and multipliers can be won.

We’ve got the maggots and worms, so all you need to do is grab your fishing rod and join us in this latest fishing adventure. So, what do you say? Do you fancy giving our free demo slot of Bass Boss a try? It’s ready for you to play below.

Bass Boss Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

It does make you wonder how long gaming studios will continue to pump out the fishing-themed slots, doesn’t it? But I guess from the stats they get back from the casinos; there is plenty of life left in the niche yet, or why else would they keep developing them? So, which of the fishing slots is the best? Hmmm, how long is a piece of string? I think this is all down to personal preference, but it would seem the Fishin Frenzy and Big Bass Bonanza series of slots are by far the most popular within this genre, so if you haven’t played any of them before, head to the search bar at the top our site and type them in, there’s plenty of titles for you to try once you do. How will Bass Boss fit into this space then? Is there room for it to thrive? Let’s dig into the pays and see what’s lurking beneath the seaweed.

Kicking things off from the top of the paytable, the highest paying symbol is the boat paying 30x bet for a five of a kind win. This is followed by the tackle box worth 20x, the hat valued at 15x, and the last of the premium paying symbols is the reel, paying 10x bet for a completed line of five. Dropping down to the low pays, we have five royal symbols with the Ace paying 3x for all five on a payline, the King at 3.5x, next is the Queen at 2x, the Jack paying 1.5x, and finally, the Ten paying 1x for a five of a kind hit.

Players can get involved with some real money play on Bass Boss from a minimum of €0.10 a spin, with the maximum stake reaching €40 a play. Within this betting range, a decent amount of intermediate stakes are available that should provide ample choice for both low and high rollers alike.

Base Game & Modifiers

Bass Boss slot base game

We have a very standard reel formation in play of 5×3 on Bass Boss, which provides a total of 10 fixed paylines for wins to be created upon. Securing some of that lovely lolly will require you to land at least three matching symbols from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel first. The win must also match up across one of the 10 active paylines.

Fish Symbols

During gameplay, various fish can appear on the reels, swimming around with multiplier values attached to them. If you can catch them via the fisherman, then you will win instant prizes as a result. Bigger fish yield more significant rewards, with up to 200x your stake being up for grabs.

Catch Feature

At random points during gameplay, the Fisherman may cast his line into the water, catching every fish that appears on the same row as his hook.

Nudge Feature

Occasionally, it is possible that after being cast on a row where there are no fish, or even after a successful catch, the Fisherman will move the hook on his line to another row for a chance to collect additional fish.

Improved Bait

Random multipliers may be applied to the line during the normal game. Any fish caught where a multiplier is on the float will have its instant win multiplied by either x2, x3x, x5, or x10.

Bass Boss Slot Bonus Features

Bass Boss slot free spins feature

If you land 3, 4, or 5 of the bonus scatter symbols, you will trigger the main bonus round and receive 10, 15, or 20 spins respectively, to begin the Contest Free Spins feature with.

Contest Free Spins

Throughout this round, the fisherman keeps his fishing line in the water, and following each spin, he has the opportunity to shift the hook up or down, increasing his chances of catching fish on a different row. Furthermore, once you activate this feature, a progress bar will appear, tracking the number of fish you have hooked. There are four milestones on this bar, rewarding re-triggers and a float multiplier. For every 8 fish caught, you are granted an extra 10 free spins and a float multiplier that will increase from 2x up to 10x.

Pros

The base game modifiers can produce some reasonable wins whilst you're waiting for the free spins to trigger.

Cons

The RTP is below the industry standard.
A maximum win of under 5,000x in this day and age of online slots is a little poor, if I'm honest.

Final Thoughts

With dozens of other fish-themed slots out there on the market, Bass Boss does little to stand out from the crowd. Nevertheless, it's still worth a few spins just to say you've given it a try, if nothing else.
