Big Bass: Day At The Races Slot

Money Symbols

It wouldn’t be much of a racing game without a few horses and jockeys spinning into view. Horse and Jockey icons act as the game’s Money symbols, and each comes with an attached prize of 0.2x, 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 200x, 250x, 333x, 500x, or 1,000x.

Random Collect Feature

This may kick in any time one or more money Money symbols spins into view in the base game. If activated, this bonus collects the values of all Money Symbols in view and applies a 1x-50x multiplier to the total!

Ante Bet

Selecting this option from the left of the grid increases the cost per spin by 50% and increases your chances of triggering the Free Spins Bonus.

Free Spins Bonus

Not content with merely watching the action, our awesome angler has secured himself a ride for the afternoon (hopefully before partaking in too many of those pints and champagne buckets). Fisherman on Horseback symbols are the Scatters of the game.

Land three or more on a single spin to gallop into the Free Spins Bonus armed with 10 free spins.

Don’t give up hope if only two Scatters arrive, as one of the following second-chance boosts may belatedly deliver your free spins reward:

• Re-Spin: This may kick in if the two Scatters in view can move down one position without dropping off the grid. If activated, the Scatter-containing reels will move down one position and all other reels will Re-Spin – hopefully securing your third bonus-triggering Scatter.
• Lasso: Rather than messing around with the nudging reels and re-spins, a magical Lasso may spring into life and haul a third Scatter onto the grid.

Pre-Free Spins Modifier Boosts

Before free spins begin, you are taken to a Modifier selection screen, which features a list of horses going by inspired names such as Floaty Boats, Fisher King, and Hoofnanza. Your task is to select horses to reveal the following bonus round boosting Modifiers:

• More Free Spins: Bag one, two, or three additional free spins.
• Fixed Horse: Guarantees a Horse Money symbol on every free spin.
• Already Collected Man Wilds: Lights up one position on the Man Wild Bonus Trail.
• Remove Lowest Horse: Removes the lowest Money symbol value, i.e., 0.2x. If you reveal a second Remove Lowest Horse modifier, the 0.5x value is removed from the reels.

If four or five Scatters triggered the bonus round, one or two of the Modifier Horse Prizes are automatically revealed before you make your selections. You may continue collecting modifiers until you select the horse hiding the “And They’re Off” symbol, which signals the start of the Free Spins Bonus.

Money Prize Collection

Moving into the bonus round proper, all of your favourite Cash Collection chaos begins. Now going by the name of just Man, rather than Fisherman, our flat cap-wearing star steps in to act as a Wild Collection symbol. Man symbols may appear on any reel, substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning combinations, and collect the values of all Money Prize symbols in view.

The site of Money Prizes and no Collectors (or vice versa) can be frustrating, but may be eased by one of the following random features during free spins:

• If a Man Collect symbol appears alone, a snapping camera may add Money Prize symbols to the reels.
• If a Man Collect symbol appears alone, a random Stampede feature may transform all non-collect symbols into an alternative symbol.
• If Money Prize symbols appear alone, that good old Lasso may drag a Man Collect symbol into view.
• If no Collect or Money Prize symbols are on the grid, the Lasso may drag both onto the reels.

Bonus Trail

During the round, all Man Symbols are collected in a Bonus Trail above the grid, with every fourth symbol collected awarding a boost:

• Four Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 2x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.
• Eight Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 3x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.
• 12 Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 10x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.
• 16 Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 20x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.
• 20 Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 30x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.
• 24 Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 40x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.
• 28 Man Symbols Collected: 10 extra free spins with a 50x multiplier for all Money Prize Wins.

Bonus Buy Feature

If you can’t wait for the Prize collecting thrills to begin, Bonus Buy is available in eligible jurisdictions (not available to UK players). This option randomly triggers a three, four, or five Scatter bonus and costs 100x the total bet.

Our Verdict No real surprises in the feature, but it’s hard to improve upon the near-perfect Bonus Trail/Cash Collection combo of the Big Bass series. That said, the horse racing twist on the modifier selection pre-game adds a nice dose of humour. Big Bass fans won’t be disappointed.
