Big Bite (Push Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

The orca whale appears as the main character in Big Bite, but did you know they are not really whales? They are actually the largest member of the dolphin family. Who would win in a fight between one of these black and white beasts and a great white shark? Well, there’s only one way to find out, fire up Push Gaming’s original Razor Shark free play slot or its sensational sequel Razor Returns demo here on our site and make your own judgment. Or, if you’d prefer a more relaxing angling experience, there are dozens of games featuring a similar mechanic to today’s review in our fishing slots section. Feel free to make your way over there and have a browse, but before you do, why not stick with me here, as I’ll be reeling in all the details of the features of Big Bite next. See you over at the pays section.

With just the ten paylines on offer in the base game, I’m hoping we’ll see some high-value symbols on the paytable to compensate. The place for the top spot is shared by the Wild and Boat Captain, both of which will return 200x the total stake value per line of five. Next up, it’s the Walrus and Penguin characters, who share payouts 100x, and these are followed by the Compass at 50x. The lower value premium offerings are the Bottle and the Boot, with equal pays of 35x, whilst the non-premium symbols featured are the Spade, Heart, Diamond, and Club, all of which will return 5x the staked amount per line of five matching symbols.

We have a good range of stakes to select from on Big Bite, with the possibilities starting at a low of €0.10 and rising to a high end of €100.00. There are just 12 values in total, and some players may prefer to have seen a few more options included, but overall, there should be a comfortable entry point for most punters here.

In standard base gameplay, Big Bite uses a five-reel grid, with three row positions on each and ten fixed paylines. Line pay wins are achieved by matching at least three symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel, except the wild and boat captain symbols, which will return a small payout for just two symbols. There is no cascading reels feature to be seen here, with symbols staying fixed even if involved in a winning combination, and the wild symbol will substitute for any pay table symbol.

Fish Symbols

Fish symbols can land in any row on reels 2, 3, and 4 in both the base and bonus games. Each one will have a randomly selected stake multiplier value attached to it from one of the following possibilities: 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 100x, 250x, 500x, or 1,000x.

Jackpot Symbols

Jackpot symbols can land in any row position on reels 2, 3, or 4 in any game mode and will have one of the following stake multiplier jackpot values attached to them:

• Mini: 15x.
• Minor: 35x.
• Major: 350x.
• Mega: 1,500x.
• Grand: 10,000x

Orca Symbol

The orca symbol appears on reels 1 and 5 in the base and bonus games. If an orca symbol lands in conjunction with one or more fish or jackpot symbols, it will collect their values and pay the accumulated total as a win. If an orca symbol lands on reels 1 and 5, both orcas will collect the symbols, doubling the win. If the orca has a multiplier value attached, this will be applied to the value of any prizes collected. If the grand jackpot lands in conjunction with an orca, no other fish or jackpot values will be collected, and no multipliers will be applied, as the top win of 10,000x will have been achieved.

Along with collecting any fish or jackpot values that they land in conjunction with, orca symbols that land in this bonus will be added to a progression meter, and every fourth orca will award an upgrade and additional spins up until a maximum point, as below:
