Theme: head to the Amazon river

With a fishing theme, the Big Bass Amazon Xtreme slot follows on from various Big Bass games created by Pragmatic Play. With the original slot being Big Bass Bonanza, this time you get to fish the Amazon river.

Set deep in the Amazon, the cartoon style visuals are similar to the previous slots but have been given an upgrade. The first thing you’ll notice is the jaunty and upbeat soundtrack. Sitting above the reels is the fisherman who is asleep in his boat.

On the reels, you’ll come across A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. Then you have backpacks, fishing rods, Toucans and fishing floats. The fishing float is the highest paying symbol with 0.5, 5, 20 or 200 x bet awarded for 2, 3, 4 or 5 across a payline. A screen full of them will result in a 2,000 x bet payout.

Then you have the Fisherman Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols above. However, it only appears (on all reels) during the Free Spins feature. Other symbols include the Fish Scatter and Money symbols. These are looked at in more details in the Bonus Features section. That said, he is a list of symbols and payouts/functions below:

Big Bass Amazon Xtreme Bonus Features

The Big Bass Amazon Xtreme slot has 4 bonus features. Money symbols are worth up to 1,000 x bet and can be subject to random multipliers up to 50x. In the Free Spins feature, you make picks to win extra free spins, remove low value Money symbols, have more Fisherman Wilds and see guaranteed Money symbols on each free spin. Once in,  Fisherman Wilds collect Money symbols and are collected to award extra free spins and increase the multiplier applied to Money symbols.

Money Symbols feature

Such as with other Pragmatic Play slots including Cowboy Coins, there is a Money Symbols feature. Look out for Fish Money symbols which are worth between 0.2 and 1,000 x your total bet.

Randomly after a base game spin, the values of the all Money symbols on the reels are collected and awarded. A random multiplier of between 1-50x will be awarded and applied to the total value of Money symbols.

Free Spins feature

Central to the action in the Big Bass Amazon Xtreme slot is the Free Spins feature. This is triggered by landing 3 or more Fish Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. If you land 2 scatters in the base game, there is a chance another scatter will be added to the reels with a random feature:

• Scatters on the screen can move down 1 position and reels without scatters respin.
• A fishing hook can pull 1 of the reels up to reveal another scatter

With 10 free spins awarded, landing 4 or 5 scatters will see you begin the pick bonus game with 1 or 2 boot items respectively already revealed. You pick objects to reveal modifiers that will apply to the feature. You carry on picking until you reveal a boot. This begins the free spins with the revealed modifiers applying. They are as follows:

• More Free Spins: 1, 2 or 3 extra free spins will be awarded (up to 6 extra in total)
• Guaranteed Fish: 1, 2 or 3 guaranteed Fish Money symbols on each free spin
• Already Collected Fisherman Wilds: Up to 3 Fisherman Wilds to start the feature
• Remove Lowest Fish: Lowest Fish Money symbol removed up to 2 times (2x and 5x bet)

Once playing, each Fisherman Wild symbol collects all Money symbol values on the screen. They are also collected with every 4^th Fisherman Wild retriggering the feature. This gives you 10 additional free spins and the multiplier for Money symbols increases. With 8 levels, the multiplier increases to 2x, 3x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x and 50x respectively.

There are no more retriggers after level 8 meaning a total of 80 free spins. Furthermore, if a Fisherman Wild appears on the screen and no Money symbols are present, Money symbols can randomly appear. Also, a water animation can appear and change all symbols to something else.

If there are no Money symbols and no Fisherman Wilds, a hook can randomly appear to pull up a random reel to add Fisherman Wilds. Look out for a hook randomly appearing to pull the reels up and add Fisherman Wilds and Money symbols onto the screen.

Players outside the UK can opt for the Buy Free Spins feature. Buy your way into the Free Spins feature for 100 x your total bet. If enabled, it will award 3, 4 or 5 scatters randomly.

Ante Bet feature

There is an optional Ante Bet feature where increases your bet amount by 50% (i.e. £1 a spin to £1.50 a spin). Basically, the chances to trigger the Free Spins feature is higher as more Fish Scatter symbols appear on the reels.
