About Bass Baggin’ Bounty
Bass Baggin’ Bounty is a colourful fishing-themed video slot played across five reels and four rows. Instead of traditional paylines, it uses a 1,024 Ways to Win system, meaning matching symbols must appear on adjacent reels from left to right.
The game includes several connected bonus features. Two Scatter symbols may activate moving Scatter Respins, while four Golden Coins trigger the Hold & Spin feature. Three or more Scatters award Free Games, where Fisherman Wilds collect the values of Fish symbols on the reels.
The Free Games feature becomes increasingly valuable as more Fisherman Wilds are collected. Every fourth collected Wild retriggers the feature and increases the Fish collection multiplier, which can eventually reach 10x.
How to Play
- Choose your preferred total bet.
- Press Spin to start the reels.
- Match identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.
- Land two Scatters to activate the Scatter Respins feature.
- Land four Golden Coins to trigger Hold & Spin.
- Land three or more Scatters to start Free Games.
- Collect Fisherman Wilds to unlock retriggers and higher multipliers.
Symbols & Payouts
Premium Symbols
The premium fishing symbols provide the game’s highest regular payouts.
The best standard symbol pays:
- 5 symbols: 200x
- 4 symbols: 150x
- 3 symbols: 70x
Other premium symbols award up to 150x, 90x, 60x and 40x for five matching symbols.
Lower-Paying Symbols
The lower-value symbols pay smaller but more frequent prizes, with five-symbol combinations awarding between 10x and 30x the applicable bet value.
Bass Scatter Symbol
The Bass Scatter pays anywhere on the gameboard and triggers the Free Games feature:
- 3 Scatters: 10 Free Games
- 4 Scatters: 15 Free Games
- 5 Scatters: 20 Free Games
Two Scatters during the base game may also activate the Scatter Respins feature.
Golden Coin Symbol
Landing four Golden Coin symbols triggers the Hold & Spin feature.
Each Golden Coin carries an individual prize value that is added to the total Hold & Spin win.
Fisherman Wild Symbol
The Fisherman Wild appears only during Free Games.
It collects and awards the values of all Fish symbols visible on the gameboard. Fisherman Wilds are also counted towards Free Games retriggers and multiplier upgrades.
Bonus Features
1,024 Ways to Win
Bass Baggin’ Bounty has 1,024 possible winning combinations.
A win is created when matching symbols land on consecutive reels from the leftmost reel. Symbols do not need to appear on the same horizontal line.
Only the highest payout is awarded for each winning combination.
Scatter Respins
The Scatter Respins feature is activated when two Scatter symbols land during a base-game spin.
During the feature:
- Scatter symbols move down by one position when possible.
- Reels without Scatters respin completely.
- Additional winning combinations may be formed.
- Further respins may occur while two Scatters remain visible.
Because the Scatters move down the reels, this feature may help produce the third Scatter needed to trigger Free Games.
Hold & Spin Feature
Landing four Golden Coins activates the Hold & Spin bonus.
When the feature begins:
- The triggering Golden Coins lock in position.
- Their prize values are added to the feature total.
- All remaining positions respin.
- The feature begins with three respins.
- Every new Golden Coin locks and resets the respins to three.
A minimum prize of 20x the total bet is guaranteed. When the first three respins end without reaching this amount, two additional respins are awarded.
The feature ends when no respins remain or the game’s maximum payout is reached.
Bucket of Fish Prizes
A Bucket of Fish symbol may land during Hold & Spin with one of the following values:
- 100x
- 150x
- 200x
- 250x
- 300x
- 400x
- 500x
- 600x
- 750x
- 1,000x
These prizes can make the Hold & Spin feature especially rewarding.
Free Games
Free Games are triggered by three or more Bass Scatter symbols:
| Scatters | Free Games |
|---|---|
| 3 | 10 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 20 |
During the feature, Fisherman Wilds collect the values of all Fish symbols appearing on the gameboard.
Fish symbols may also be added to random reel positions when one or more Fisherman Wilds are visible at the end of a free spin.
Fisherman Wild Collection
Every Fisherman Wild that lands during Free Games is collected and counted.
The feature retriggers after every fourth collected Wild:
| Retrigger | Additional Free Games | Fish Collection Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| First | 10 | 2x |
| Second | 10 | 3x |
| Third | 10 | 10x |
The additional Free Games are played after the current set finishes, and the upgraded multiplier applies to the retriggered spins.
After the third retrigger, no further retriggers are available.
Buy Feature
Where enabled by the casino, the Buy Feature lets players purchase direct access to a selected bonus.
Free Games Purchase
The triggering spin is guaranteed to land five Scatter symbols, awarding 20 Free Games.
Hold & Spin Purchase
The triggering spin is guaranteed to land five Golden Coin symbols, activating Hold & Spin.
The cost of each feature should be checked in the game before confirming the purchase.
RTP & Volatility
The exact RTP is not shown in the supplied game rules and may differ between casino versions. Players should check the game’s information screen for the RTP available at their chosen casino.
Bass Baggin’ Bounty is best described as a medium-to-high-volatility slot. Its 1,024 Ways system can create regular base-game wins, but much of its larger potential is concentrated in Hold & Spin, the Fish collection mechanic and retriggered Free Games.
The maximum win is 2,000x the base bet per paid spin. All active features stop once this limit is reached.
Our Verdict
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Star Rating
Bass Baggin’ Bounty offers more depth than a typical fishing-themed slot. The Scatter Respins give the base game extra momentum, while the Hold & Spin feature provides locked Coin prizes and a guaranteed minimum return.
The Free Games feature is the main attraction. Collecting Fisherman Wilds unlocks additional spins and raises the Fish multiplier from 2x to 3x and eventually 10x. Players who enjoy Fish collection bonuses, respins and Coin-style Hold & Spin mechanics should find plenty to enjoy here.
