New Zealand
Players Welcome
A new fishing-themed online pokie is set to thrill players at casinos of the highest quality. Pragmatic Play announced the launch of partner Reel Kingdom’s Bigger Bass Bonanza recently.
The game amplifies the action of the first version of the title, which launched in December 2020. The new version doubles the value of the original maximum multiplier, heightens the volatility, and adds another set of reels. Bigger Bass Bonanza also offers players chances to win as much as 4,000x their bet.
The online pokie has 5 reels and 12 paylines, and it is set in a harbour backdropped by graceful palm trees. The main character is a friendly bearded fisherman in a floral shirt.
Happy To Collaborate
Pragmatic Play’s chief business development officer, Yossi Barzley said that the company was happy to launch another game with creative partner Reel Kingdom. He elaborated that the collaboration between the two providers allowed his company to reach more players at the best online casinos NZ offers access to.
Barzley added that he was sure Bigger Bass Bonanza would be received well by players. He explained that, although the theme was light-hearted, the online pokie packs in various special features that could result in a “full catch.”
A Closer Look At The Game
Players who played the first version released almost a year ago at the best online casinos NZ sites will recognise a few elements from that game in Bigger Bass Bonanza. Among those elements are a round of 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins that triggers when 3 or more Scatters land in any position, and the 96.71% RTP.
The game’s Wilds can replace standard symbols when they land in a position in which they can help other icons create winning combinations. The Money symbols that appear on the reels have randomly assigned values.
During the Free Spins round, Wild symbols are counted by a meter whenever they land. The online pokie’s Free Spins feature retriggers with 10 more Free Spins and a Multiplier for collected Money symbols whenever the meter counts a fourth Wild symbol.
The first time the round retriggers sees the Multiplier at 2x. The second and third retriggers result in Multipliers of 3x and 10x. The feature will end, and the base game will resume, after the third time the round has retriggered.
Among the Bigger Bass Bonanza symbols are a boat, a fishing rod, a tackle box, a lure, and various fish. The fisherman is the Wild and his prize catch is the Scatter.
