The setup in the Big Bass Day at the Races slot is nice and simple. The action takes place on a classic 5-reel, 3 row machine that is made up of 10 paylines. Create a winning combination by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right across a payline, starting from the leftmost reel.

You can also do this via the Settings tab. Non-UK players have Autoplay as well as Turbo/Quick Spin modes.

In terms of win potential, the Big Bass Day at the Races online slot can dish out 10,000 x bet max wins. The max win probability is 1 in 14.3 million spins.

Theme: gallop to glory

Like the other games in the Big Bass franchise (which started with Big Bass Bonanza in December 2020), there’s a rather basic, cartoonish quality to the visuals in the Big Bass Day at the Races slot. With a horse racing/Irish theme, the setting is the grandstand of a racecourse, looking out onto the turf.

Aurally, the soundtrack bounces along rather nicely and has the feel of a TV theme, especially during the free spins. The design here isn’t the most sophisticated you’ll see as the imagery is very simply done and the symbols are easy to make out (which is the most important thing).

The grassy reels are made up of lower-value A to 10 royals and 4 higher-value symbols that you might find if you were enjoying a day at the races. In order of value are binoculars, a pint of beer, a picnic hamper and a bucket full of champagne. Best paying is the bucket of champagne symbol which awards 0.5, 5, 20 or 200 x your total bet for 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The bearded man holding the betting slips is the wild. He can appear on all 5 reels and substitute for all the standard symbols. The man on the horse is the scatter as it used to trigger free spins. You will also see Money symbols which contain values of up to 1,000 x bet.

Big Bass Day at the Races Mobile

Big Bass Day at the Races hit online casino shelves on the 7^th of March 2024. It’s been fully optimised for tablet and smartphone play as well as for desktop and laptop computers. The Big Bass Day at the Races mobile slot is very straightforward to play.

Big Bass Day at the Races Bonus Features

You’ll find some top features in this virtual trip to the racetrack. Money symbols can deliver cash prizes which are boosted by multipliers. Trigger the free spins then pick from a list of horses to bring a series of modifiers into play.

Money Symbol feature

Appearing on the reels alongside the standard symbols are 5 different racehorse and jockey Money symbols. These come with a value attached which can range from 0.2 right up to 1,000 x bet. On any base game spin, you can hear the clang of a bell. This means that all the Money Symbol values are collected and awarded. This total is then boosted by a win multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x or 50x to give an overall payout.

Free Spins feature

Trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Land 2 scatters and you might still be in luck. A lasso could randomly appear and change a standard symbol into a third scatter. Alternatively, you could see the 2 scatters nudge down a position while a re-spin is awarded. Land another scatter on the re-spin and you’ll also trigger the feature. No matter how you trigger it, your reward is 10 free spins.

Before the free spins begin, you’ll be taken to a new screen and shown a list of racehorses. Pick from the racehorses to reveal modifiers which will be active throughout the round. Pick on picking until you uncover ‘Start Round’. Trigger the free spins with 4 or 5 scatter and 1 or 2 modifiers will be automatically revealed before you start your picks. Here are the modifiers available:

• More Free Spins: You can reveal 1, 2 or 3 extra free spins.
• Fixed Horse: Reveal a +1 Fixed Horse and a Money Symbol is guaranteed to land on each free spin. You can land up to 3 Fixed Horses.
• Already Collected Man Wilds: The Man Wild collects the values from the Money symbols during the free spins. Your picks can reveal up to 3 of these. Collecting 4 Man Wilds also delivers a re-trigger.
• Remove Lowest Horse: Reveal these to remove first the 2x then the 5x Fixed Horse Money symbol.

Furthermore, a retrigger is awarded after 4 Man Wilds are collected. Each retrigger awards 10 additional free spins and also boosts the value of the multiplier which is applied to the Fixed Horse Money wins. The multiplier is:

• 2x at level 2
• 3x at level 3
• 10x at level 4
• 20x at level 5
• 30x at level 6
• 40x at level 7
• 50x at level 8.

During the free spins, combinations of Man Wilds and Money symbols can deliver some extra action. If there’s a Man Wild on display at the end of the free spin but no Money symbols, new Money symbol can drop into random positions. Similarly, when there are Money symbols but no Man Wilds, a lasso can randomly appear and drag the Man Wild onto the reels to trigger a payout.

A stampede can randomly occur when there are Man Wilds but no Money symbols on show. All the symbols on the reels apart from the Man Wild then transform into something else and a new payout consideration follows. Finally, at the end of a free spin, you could see a lasso drag both Man Wild and Money symbols onto the reels to deliver a new payout.

Big Bass Day at the Races Slot

Big Bass Day at the Races is a horse-racing/Irish slot with money symbol prizes, free spins with modifiers and 10,000 x bet max wins.

Pros

• 10,000 x bet max wins
• Plenty of modifiers in the free spins

Cons

• Clone of Big Bass Amazon Xtreme
• High volatility

The Big Bass Day at the Races slot isn’t the flashiest-looking game you’ll come across as the design is rather basic. Any visual deficiencies are made up for by some exciting gameplay, though.

The Money Symbol feature can deliver some decent action, especially if you manage to boost the amount collected with one of the higher-value multipliers. In the Free Spins feature, there’s bigger win potential, depending on how the modifiers fall. If you see plenty of the Man Wild symbol it can bring both the Money collection and retriggers into play. The latter come with enhanced multipliers which can really get things moving.

With bonus features found in other Big Bass slots, it’s a pretty weak attempt by Pragmatic Play in their attempt on the ‘Sport of Kings’. If you’re a horse racing fan or you’ve enjoyed the other slots in the Big Bass, series, you’ll want to get under starters order for this Day at the Races. By the looks of it, it’s a clone gameplay-wise of Big Bass Amazon Xtreme.

I don’t know why Pragmatic Play keeps releasing Big Bass slots if they have the same bonus features and extras. They need to come up with new ideas and concepts to keep things exciting. If you enjoy the Irish slots theme, both Shamrock Saints (Push Gaming) and Leprechaun’s Luck (Playtech) can’t be beaten.
