Big Bass – Keeping it Reel Demo & Review
Big Bass – Keeping it Reel review
Big Bass – Keeping it Reel is a classic-style Big Bass game on 5x3 reels with 10 paylines. Nothing about the base game will surprise series regulars: fishing tackle symbols, a dragonfly and fish that carry cash values, with the angler wild collecting those values once the bonus starts.
Up to 20 free spins can be awarded from a single trigger, and Golden Wilds are the notable addition. In the bonus, collecting fishermen moves you up levels with higher multipliers for the cash you collect, which is where the 10,000x maximum comes from. It is a fast-paced, simple game and a good choice if you want the core Big Bass experience with a slightly higher ceiling than the 2020 original.
