The WILD symbol substitutes for all other symbols except the SCATTER. During the free spins feature, the WILD can appear on all reels. The SCATTER symbol is present on all reels and is central to triggering the free spins round.

Money Symbol Functionality

The fish symbol serves as the MONEY symbol in the game. With every spin, each MONEY symbol displays a random value, selected from 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, or 2000x the total bet. These values are only available for collection during the free spins feature.

Free Spins Feature Mechanics

Free spins are awarded when three or more SCATTER symbols land anywhere on the reels in a base game spin. The number of awarded free spins depends on the number of SCATTER symbols:

5 SCATTER symbols: 20 free spins
4 SCATTER symbols: 15 free spins
3 SCATTER symbols: 10 free spins

During free spins, every WILD symbol that appears will collect all MONEY symbol values visible on the reels at that moment. Each WILD symbol that lands is collected and tracked for the duration of the free spins round.

For every fourth WILD symbol collected:

An additional 10 free spins are added
The multiplier for collected MONEY symbols increases as follows:
- 1st retrigger: 2x multiplier
- 2nd retrigger: 3x multiplier
- 3rd retrigger: 10x multiplier

Retriggered spins commence after the current set of free spins concludes and are played with the corresponding multiplier. A maximum of three retriggers is possible, and further retriggers cannot occur beyond this limit.

During the feature, if only one WILD is present after a free spin and no win lands, it is possible for MONEY symbols to randomly appear in available positions. Special reels are in use throughout the free spins round.

All winnings from free spins are added after the feature ends. The history section displays the entire win for each free spins cycle.

Maximum Potential Win

The maximum achievable win in both the base game and free spins is capped at 2,100 times the bet amount. Should this limit be reached during a free spins round, the feature will end immediately and any unused free spins will be forfeited.

Ante Bet Option

An ante bet feature is available, allowing for the activation of a 15x bet per line, which increases the probability of SCATTER symbols appearing on the reels.

Volatility

Big Bass Bonanza - Reel Action is classified as a high volatility slot. This means wins may occur less frequently, but individual payouts have the potential to be higher than in lower volatility games.
