Big Bass Slot Games
It’s time to grab your fishing rods, your freshest bait and sling your hook into the wide oceans of the ‘Big Bass’ series. Pragmatic Play had high expectations of Big Bass Bonanza when it was released in December 2020 but even the most ambitious slot developers couldn’t have predicted the meteoric rise of the game.
It took nine months for the next release in the series in 2021 and in comparison, in 2024, seven Big Bass themed games were released over the same period.

Big Bass Slot Themes
To create as many sequels as Pragmatic Play have managed with the Big Bass series, they have had to cover a huge array of slot themes and slot mechanics. Read more about them below:
Fishing:
Let’s start at the very beginning, it wouldn’t be Big Bass without… Bass. While Fishin’ Frenzy was one of the most popular slot games across the 2010’s, Big Bass Splash and Big Bass Bonanza have a great opportunity to take that title across the 2020’s - and it looks very likely that will happen.
‘Big Bass Bonanza’ has been given the Megaways, Hold & Spinner, 3 Reel and ‘Xtreme’ treatment to push the game into new areas and reach a broader range of players. If there were any worries about keeping the game interesting for players, Pragmatic Play definitely has that covered.
Christmas:
The UK’s favourite holiday and arguably one of the most popular slot themes in the world, despite only being distinctively relevant for one month of the year. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza was the 4th release of the popular game coming one year after the original release.
Two years later, another Christmas themed slot in the series would be released in the form of ‘Big Bass Christmas Bash’, which brought a more volatile Christmas slot with over double the payout potential of the original Christmas release.
Halloween:
One of the more recent releases in the Big Bass repertoire is Big Bass Halloween 2, which was released in the lead-up to the holiday in 2024. This came after the release of Big Bass Halloween just one-year earlier. Upon release, fans of the franchise were not impressed with the original Halloween release and it received the worst reviews of any Big Bass game to this day!
The release of Big Bass Halloween 2 was released with lower expectations but it is regarded as a significantly improved version of the original slot and the release was a success for Pragmatic Play.
Sports:
While Fishing itself can be regarded as a sport, the ‘Big Bass’ series’ only official entry into the sports category comes in one of their most recent releases. Released ahead of the 2025 Cheltenham Festival, ‘Big Bass Day at the Races’ is truly an example of a strong crossover between sports betting and online casino fans.
There are two Free Spins in the game, the regular Free Spins and the Gold Cup versions and while the original Free Spins are good, nothing quite beats winning the Gold Cup.
Vegas
Being LeoVegas, we know a thing or two about Vegas and the 2024 release Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe may just be the best theme combination Pragmatic Play have created in the Big Bass series. Typically, this game has higher volatility than its predecessors with a max win of 5,000x the player stake.
Why Play Big Bass Games?
Big Bass slot games are fan-favourites amongst many slot players, whether it’s because of the ‘Fishing Theme’, the dozens of different themes behind the games or simply because they like the gameplay.
Here are some reasons, we recommend playing Big Bass games.
Constant Innovation: This series has expanded numerous times in a short period of time without the loss of quality in their games. From the original release to their most recent entries, Pragmatic Play have consistently set-out to make their Big Bass entries innovative and with over 25 releases worldwide in the series, that isn’t an easy task.
Frequency: A large number of players will play a slot game and remember that slot the next time that they play. With Big Bass games, you can get a similar feel with tweaked gameplay in dozens of different games. Play them all? You usually won’t have to wait too long for the next instalment with the gaps between games being incredibly short in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Popularity: Some players will simply play the games because they are popular and they like them, which while a simplistic approach to take, suits certain players down to the ground. There is plenty of information surrounding the game, they are easy to play and easy to find.
