Max Win

Everyone’s favourite fisherman returns with Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake™, a 5×3 slot with a chance to activate two free spins rounds. The Golden Lake feature offers bigger monetary rewards, as the fisherman can hook onto gold diamonds to rewind the reels and catch more prizes, and is accessible via an interactive card reveal mode. Both free spins rounds offer a meter that can further boost available free spins and multipliers, whilst up to five Scatters appearing in the main offers the maximum of 20 free spins.

FISHERMAN WILD symbol

This is the WILD symbol with a FISHERMAN. It appears on all reels during the FREE SPINS round. It substitutes for all symbols except SCATTER and MONEY symbols.

SCATTER symbol

This is the SCATTER symbol. It appears on all reels.

Money Symbol

These are MONEY symbols. During each spin, the MONEY symbol assumes a random cash value that can be won during the FREE SPINS feature. Possible values ​​are: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1666x, 2500x, or 5000x the total bet.

Free Spins

Land 3, 4, or 5 SCATTER symbols to trigger the FREE SPINS feature and win 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Every time two SCATTER symbols appear without a third symbol during the main game, there’s a chance that another symbol will appear on the screen as a result of a random feature:

• If the SCATTER symbols on the screen can move down one position without leaving the reel area, a re-spin is triggered, during which the reels with SCATTER symbols move down one position, and the reels that do not contain SCATTER symbols spin again.
• Also, after the first spin, another SCATTER may appear randomly on the screen.

Before the round begins, choose a card from a possible 12 to see the type of FREE SPINS you’ll win. Landing a BONUS card triggers the regular FREE SPINS round. Landing a SECRETS OF THE GOLDEN LAKE card triggers the GOLDEN LAKE FREE SPINS feature. During the regular FREE SPINS feature, each WILD FISHERMAN symbol also collects all the values ​​of the MONEY symbols on the screen.

All WILD FISHERMAN symbols that appear during this feature are collected until the end of the round. Each fourth WILD FISHERMAN symbol collected resets the feature, awarding an additional 10 free spins and a multiplier for collecting MONEY symbols, increasing by 2x for the second level, 3x for the third level, and 10x for the fourth level. After the fourth level, the feature cannot be reset.

During the GOLDEN LAKE FREE SPINS feature, regular symbols disappear, leaving only an empty grid. Regular reels are replaced with special symbols containing only CASH symbols, WILD FISHERMAN symbols, and empty positions. The round begins with 10 free spins.

During each spin, all winning lines or winning combinations with MONEY symbols are paid, and each WILD FISHERMAN symbol that lands accumulates the value of all MONEY symbols on the screen. All WILD FISHERMAN symbols that land during this feature are accumulated until the end of the round.

Each collected fourth WILD symbol with a FISHERMAN retriggers the feature, awarding an additional 10 free spins, and the multiplier for collecting MONEY symbols is increased by 2x for the second level, 3x for the third level, and 10x for the fourth level. After the fourth level, the feature cannot be retriggered.

During any type of FREE SPINS, the following random events may occur:

• Randomly, when only WILD FISHERMAN symbols and MONEY symbols are displayed on the screen, MONEY symbols may appear in random positions at the end of the free spin.
• Randomly, when only MONEY symbols are displayed on the screen without WILD FISHERMAN symbols, a hook will appear at the end of the free spin, pulling a random reel upward and bringing WILD FISHERMAN symbols onto the screen.
• Randomly, when WILD FISHERMAN symbols without CASH symbols appear on the screen, a curtain animation may occur at the end of a free spin, causing all symbols on the screen except the WILD FISHERMAN symbols to change.

Special reels are included in the game.

Buy Free Spins

The FREE SPINS feature can be instantly triggered in the main game by purchasing it. There are two options for purchasing FREE SPINS:

• Pay 100x your total bet to trigger the FREE SPINS feature. When purchasing the FREE SPINS feature, choose a card from 12 possible cards before the round starts to receive either regular FREE SPINS or GOLDEN LAKE FREE SPINS.
• Pay 270x your total bet to trigger the GOLDEN LAKE FREE SPINS feature. When purchasing this feature, you cannot choose a card before the round starts, and GOLDEN LAKE Free Spins are triggered immediately.

Ante Bet

The player has the option to select a bet multiplier. The game behaves differently depending on the bet selected. Possible values:

• 15x bet multiplier: Higher chance of winning free spins. More SCATTER symbols appear on the reels. The “BUY FREE SPINS” feature is disabled.
• 10x bet multiplier: Normal game

When playing with the Ante bet, there is a chance of receiving 3 SCATTER symbols in random positions on the screen at the end of a spin or a re-spin triggered by landing 2 SCATTER symbols without a third. These SCATTER symbols trigger the FREE SPINS feature, but the spin does not pay out on lines.

What to expect

For every four fishermen that appear during free spins, 10 more turns and progressive multipliers are awarded

A selection of 12 cards begins the classic free spins mode, with two offering the chance to enter the Golden Lake free spins feature, enhancing further wins

All values are accumulated to the total win if more than one fisherman lands in either mode.

Paylines

All symbols in Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake pay left to right on selected paylines. All wins are multiplied by the line bet. All amounts are expressed as real coin wins. Only the highest win per line is paid. If you win on multiple lines, all wins are added to the total win.
