Big Bass Floats My Boat is an engaging online slot game available at Lord Ping, developed by Pragmatic Play. The game features a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 paylines, offering players numerous chances to win.
In Big Bass Floats My Boat, winning combinations are formed by landing up to five matching symbols on any of the 10 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. The symbols in the game include both low-paying and high-paying icons. The low-paying symbols are represented by the standard card ranks, from 10 to Ace. The high-paying symbols include a tackle box, a dragonfly, a fishing rod, and a boat, all tied to the game's fishing theme. Landing five matching card rank symbols can yield payouts ranging from 5 to 10 times the bet. In contrast, landing five matching high-paying symbols can award between 50 to 200 times the bet. The Fisherman symbol acts as the wild in this game, substituting for any regular pay symbol to help form winning combinations, but it only appears during the free spins feature.
The game's free spins feature is triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during the base game, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Additionally, when 2 scatter symbols land in the base game, there is a chance that a third scatter can be brought into view through one of two random features. One feature triggers a respin if the scatter symbols can move down one position without leaving the screen. In this case, the reels with scatters shift down one position, while the remaining reels respin, potentially bringing in the crucial third scatter symbol.
During the free spins feature, the Fisherman wild symbol is introduced. When the Fisherman lands simultaneously with fish money symbols, he collects and awards the total value of all the money symbols in view. Furthermore, each grid position in the free spins round starts with a multiplier of x1. Every time a money symbol lands on a specific position, the multiplier for that position increases by +1, enhancing the potential winnings significantly.
