The Revolutionary Repeat Feature
Big Bass Reel Repeat introduces a groundbreaking mechanic to the popular fishing slot series. When playing with the 16x or 25x ante bet multiplier, every free spins round ends with the Repeat feature activation. This gives you a random chance to restart the entire bonus from the beginning, maintaining the same number of initial spins and any modifiers revealed from the card selection, whilst crucially keeping all winnings accumulated in the previous round.
The 25x ante bet multiplier not only activates the Repeat feature but also significantly increases the natural trigger rate of free spins during base game play, with more scatter symbols present on the reels.
Free Spins Trigger and Modifiers
Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols awards 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Before the round begins, you select one card from 12 options to potentially reveal game-changing modifiers:
- MORE FISH! - Dramatically increases the frequency of money symbols on the reels with enhanced probability of higher values appearing throughout the bonus round.
- HIGHER MULTIPLIERS! - Transforms the standard retrigger multiplier progression from 1x/2x/3x/10x to an accelerated 1x/4x/6x/20x sequence.
- 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER - Reduces the wild collection requirement from 4 to just 3 symbols per retrigger. Additionally, multipliers apply immediately from the next spin rather than waiting for the current batch to complete.
- MEGA - Activates all three modifiers simultaneously for maximum winning potential.
Collection Mechanics During Free Spins
The Fisherman Wild symbol is central to the bonus round mechanics. Every time a Fisherman Wild lands, it collects the values from all money symbols visible on screen. These wild symbols are then stored in a collection meter. Upon collecting the 4th wild (or 3rd with the modifier active), the feature retriggers with 10 additional spins and the collection multiplier increases.
The multiplier progression follows this pattern:
- Initial spins: 1x multiplier on collected values
- First retrigger (4 wilds): 2x multiplier + 10 spins
- Second retrigger (8 wilds): 3x multiplier + 10 spins
- Third retrigger (12 wilds): 10x multiplier + 10 spins
- After the fourth level, no further retriggers possible
Random Features Within Free Spins
Several random events can trigger during the bonus to enhance winning opportunities:
- If Fisherman Wilds appear without money symbols, random money symbols can materialise in empty positions after the spin completes.
- When money symbols land without wilds, a fishing hook animation pulls a reel upwards to bring Fisherman Wild symbols onto the screen.
- The BASS-OOKA! feature can randomly trigger when wilds appear without money symbols, transforming all non-wild symbols into new symbols for improved winning combinations.
Money symbols can appear as giant 2x2 or 3x3 symbols during free spins, occupying multiple reel positions and providing the same value across all positions when collected by a Fisherman Wild.
Ante Bet Options Explained
Big Bass Reel Repeat offers multiple ante bet configurations that fundamentally alter gameplay. For players interested in exploring real money casinos, understanding these options is crucial:
- 10x bet (Normal) - Standard play with no modifications
- 15x bet - Increased scatter frequency for higher natural bonus trigger rate (disables buy feature)
- 16x bet - Activates the Bonus Repeat feature at the end of free spins rounds
- 25x bet - Combines increased scatter frequency with Bonus Repeat feature activation
Buy Feature Options
Three distinct purchase options allow immediate access to free spins:
- 100x bet - Standard free spins with card selection for potential modifiers
- 160x bet - Regular free spins with guaranteed Bonus Repeat feature activation at completion
- 1250x bet - Free spins with MEGA modifier guaranteed, activating all bonus enhancements simultaneously
Maximum Win Cap: The game enforces a 5000x bet win limit. If total winnings reach this threshold during a free spins round, the feature immediately terminates, winnings are awarded up to the cap, and all remaining spins are forfeited.
Base Game Scatter Features
When 2 scatter symbols land without triggering the bonus, two random features can assist in landing the third scatter:
- Scatter Nudge - If scatters can move down one position without leaving the reel, a respin triggers where scatter reels nudge down whilst other reels respin.
- Extra Scatter - A third scatter randomly appears in any position after the initial spin result displays.
