About the Game

Welcome to Big Game Fishing Bigger Bites from Reflex Gaming, a 10-payline video slot with free spins, Max Play mode, and more.

RTP

• The overall theoretical return to player is 95.5%.

Max Win

The maximum win is 10,000x the base bet. If the Free Spins feature exceeds 10,000x the base bet, the payout is 10,000x, and the feature ends.

Big Game Fishing Bigger Bites is a 5-reel, three-row video slot. It features nine regular symbols that award wins when three or more line up on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. There are also several Fish symbols with money symbols that pay out as part of a winning line in any combination. There’s also a Bonus scatter symbol that can appear anywhere, and three or more symbols trigger the Free Spins bonus.

Fish with Money Symbols

The game features seven different Fish with Money symbols, each displaying a cash value underneath. The cash value of any fish is awarded when a Fisherman symbol also appears on the reels. If multiple Fisherman symbols appear, each will award the total value of all fish on the reels. Fisherman symbols appear on the reels only during Free Spins and in Max Play mode, with cash values ​​displayed dimmed in the standard base game. Cash values ​​are multipliers of the selected base bet, with larger fish being worth increasingly more, and the largest fish symbol can display up to 5000x the selected bet. Cash wins are not increased when the Gold Bet is enabled (if available).

Fish can show the following values ​​(as multipliers of the base bet): 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 35x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 5000x.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol is the Fisherman, which substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol. Fisherman symbols can display a multiplier during the Free Spins bonus, which only applies to prizes awarded with Fish symbols with cash. The Fisherman can display the following multipliers: 1x (no multiplier), 2x, 3x, 5x, and 10x.

Catch the Bonus

At the end of a base game spin, fishing rods may appear above any reels that do not contain a Bonus symbol. A fishing line with a hook descends below the reels, and when it is pulled back up, one or more Bonus symbols may be hooked and dropped onto the reels, which can trigger Free Spins.

Free Spins

Locating 3 or more bonus symbols in the base game triggers Free Spins. At the start of the bonus, the two smallest fish types on the reels are upgraded to the next level. The number of spins awarded and additional fish upgrades depend on the number of bonus symbols landed.

• 3 symbols award 10 Free Spins, starting at Level 1.
• 4 symbols award 15 Free Spins, starting at Level 2 (starting with 3 symbols added to the track).
• 5 symbols award 20 Free Spins, starting at Level 4 (the track is filled from the start).

During Free Spins, the Fisherman can appear on the reels and catch any Money Fish that lands simultaneously. He can also display a multiplier applied to the value of the caught fish. A track of 9 stages is displayed above the reels, and each time the Fisherman lands, he is added to this track. For every 3 Fishermen added, the next level is activated. After the current set of spins ends, the next level is activated, awarding an additional 10 Free Spins and upgrading all remaining fish from the lowest level to the next. Fisherman symbols that land without a Cash Fish are frozen in place until a Cash Fish lands or until the Free Spins are exhausted. Free Spins are played with the same bet and lines as the base game that triggered them.

Buy Bonus

By clicking the Buy Bonus button, the player can pay x125 to purchase Free Spins at the selected bet. There is a maximum bet that can be used for the Buy Bonus feature. The maximum bet may vary depending on the location where the game is played. The reels will spin with three or more bonus scatter symbols, awarding the corresponding number of Free Spins. The bonus will then be played as in a regular game.

Max Play Mode

An alternative version of the base game can be played with the same bet using the Max Play button. In this mode, the Fisherman symbol is added to the reels, activating the Fish and Cash prizes, and the reels contain only the Fish, Fisherman, and bonus symbols. All other regular payout symbols are removed from the reels and replaced by a fishing sinker symbol, which has no associated prize value.

Golden Bet

The player can increase their bet by 1.5 times to activate the bonus re-spin feature and increase their chance of winning Free Spins. This is activated when two bonus symbols land on the reels, and all reels without a bonus symbol are re-spinned, offering a second chance to win the bonus. The Golden Bet can be activated in both standard and Max Play modes, and any wins from lines or the Fish with Money feature are paid for both the first spin and the subsequent re-spin. The payout table and Fish prizes are not increased when the Golden Bet is activated.

Double Play

The gamble feature can be offered for any main game win, including Cash Fish wins in Max Play mode, and is activated by the gamble button, which can be set to OFF, ON, or 5X OR MORE. When set to ON, any main game win that has not triggered the free spins bonus will offer the gamble feature. When set to 5X OR MORE, any winning combination of at least 5 times the base bet will offer the gamble feature.

The gamble feature offers two options. On the left wheel, you can multiply your current win by 1.5, 2, 3, or 5 times. On the right wheel, you can wager your current win on free spins entry levels, including 5 free spins plus the equivalent of levels of 3, 4, and 5 bonus symbols. The bet value can be adjusted using the plus and minus buttons on either side, and the winning odds are displayed on the gamble wheel.

If free spins are won on the right wheel, the cash values ​​shown on the left are calculated based on the following multipliers:

• 5 Free Spins – 46x
• 10 Free Spins – 89x
• 15 Free Spins – 164x
• 20 Free Spins – 284x

These values ​​are multiplied by the current base bet, and then by an additional 1.5x, 2x, 3x, or 5x.

After selecting a game, both wheels begin spinning. If the wheel lands on a green segment of the selected wheel, the game is won, and the current prize is updated to the bet amount. If the wheel lands on a red segment, the game is lost, and the round ends with no prize.

The game continues until the current prize is won, the game is lost, or the maximum prize on the money wheel is reached. The free spins gamble wheel will be disabled if the value of the highest free spins entry level is exceeded.
