Prepare to be hooked by a 5,000x win potential in Big Bass Trophy Catch

Pragmatic Play has chosen to get back on the water with Big Bass Trophy Catch, yet another entry in its ever-reliable fishing franchise.

If you’ve spent any time with the Big Bass series before, you’ll know the drill on how these games work, but this one tweaks the formula just enough to keep things feeling fresh without losing what made its predecessors popular.

The slot works on a 5×3 grid, and sticks to its roots with straightforward base game wins of up to 200x, but it’s once again the bonus round where everything ramps up.

Triggered by landing three to five scatter symbols, the feature awards between 10 and 20 free spins, with even two scatters offering a chance to randomly activate it.

Fisherman wilds return with bigger rewards

At the centre of the bonus game are the familiar fisherman wilds, which collect all money symbols that land during the same spin. These can carry values all the way up to 5,000x, giving each spin the potential to swing massively in your favor.

As you’d expect, there’s also that classic progression system. Every fourth wild you land adds 10 extra free spins and boosts the multiplier applied to collected values. These start at 2x, then step up to 3x, and eventually 10x the deeper you go into the feature.

New golden coin modifiers shake things up

Where Big Bass Trophy Catch separates itself from previous entries is through its new golden coin modifiers. When triggered, these coins transform into one of three types: green, red, or blue, each adding a different twist to the bonus round.

Green tokens double all wins with a 2x multiplier, red tokens increase the number of money symbols appearing on the reels, and blue tokens add extra wilds into the mix.

All in all, if you’re already invested in the Big Bass universe, this is an easy one to jump into. And if you’re new, it’s about as accessible an entry point as you’ll find.
