Money Symbols
These symbols feature multipliers ranging from x2 to x5000 your stake. It’s also possible for them to form line wins in the base game and become collectable in the free spin rounds below.
Free spins
This bonus feature is activated when three to five scatter symbols are landed across the reels in the base game. When this occurs, players get up to 20 free spins. There is also a chance for the game to award a third scatter symbol at random if you already have two on the reels.
Players then pick a card at random on the screen, which brings them into the standard free spin round or the Golden Lake Free Spins bonus described below.
In the standard free spin round, if the Wild Fisherman symbol lands next to any Fish Money symbols, they will be reeled in instantly. Fisherman symbols are also collected in this bonus round, with 10 extra spins and a multiplier for every fourth collection. A global multiplier of x2, x3 or x10 is triggered on the second, third and fourth retriggers in this round and applies to fish symbols.
Golden Lake Free Spins
This bonus round sees all regular pay symbols removed and only blanks, Fisherman and Fish Money symbols, left behind. The Fisherman symbol collects any Money symbols as usual, while Money tiles will also pay if they land on a payline. Retriggers and multipliers work in the same way they do in the standard Free Spins round.
Fisherman wilds
The Fisherman symbol acts as the wild in Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake. It can help with standard winning combinations where applicable, but it becomes most important during the free spins rounds.
When a Fisherman lands next to Fish Money symbols in free spins, those values are collected. Fisherman symbols also contribute to the collection meter, where every fourth collected Fisherman can retrigger the feature and increase the multiplier.
Retriggers and multipliers
During free spins, Fisherman symbols are collected as part of the progression system. Every fourth collected Fisherman can award 10 extra spins and move the feature to the next multiplier stage.
The global multiplier can increase to 2x, 3x and 10x on later retriggers, and this multiplier applies to collected fish symbols. This gives the free spins round its main sense of progression, as landing more Fishermen can extend the feature and improve the value of collected Fish Money symbols.
Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake Symbols and Paylines
Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake is played across 10 fixed paylines. Wins are formed in the base game by landing winning combinations of three or more across a payline.
The most important symbols are the scatter, Fish Money symbols and Fisherman wilds.
- Fisherman Wild - Collects Fish Money symbols during free spins and can help with winning combinations where applicable
- Scatter Symbols - Trigger the free spins feature when three or more land
- Fish Money Symbols - Carry values ranging from 2x to 5,000x and can be collected during free spins
- Standard Symbols - Create regular wins across the paylines
The base game follows a simple structure, but the extra features are built around free spins, where Fish Money symbols, Fisherman wilds, retriggers and multipliers become especially important.
