Big Bass Day at the Races review
The fishing rods are put away for a day out at the track. This 2024 Pragmatic Play slot keeps the franchise's bonus machinery but dresses it as a racecourse, and it adds a selection step: before the free spins start, you choose a horse, and each horse reveals a feature that stays active for the whole bonus. The catalogue lists a 96.07% RTP and does not rate volatility or max win.
Ten paylines and a racecourse set
The game is played over 5×3 reels with 10 paylines. Wins come from matching symbols across the lines, and the studio names beer, binoculars and champagne flutes among the symbols that do it. The studio notes that the familiar franchise features were altered to fit the new theme, though it does not list what changed in the base game.
Reaching the free spins
Three scatters are needed to enter the bonus round. There is a second route for near misses: with only two scatters landed, a random feature can bring in the third and unlock the free spins. The studio does not state the number of spins awarded at the start, so that figure is left open here.
Choosing your horse
Before the free spins begin, a set of horses is shown. Each one reveals a feature, and the feature is present throughout the bonus. This is the main difference from a plain free spins round, because the player decides what kind of bonus will be played.
Horse features
The studio lists the effects as extra spins, fixed instant-win prizes added to the round, removal of the lowest instant cash prize, and more. It does not publish the full list or tell you which horse carries which effect, so the in-game screen is the place to read them. Each choice changes what the round contains rather than only its length.
Fisherman retrigger
Every four fisherman symbols that land grant an additional 10 free spins. The same event brings a multiplier that increases step by step. A round that keeps collecting fishermen therefore gets longer and pays more per win as it goes on.
What it costs to play
At 96.07% the house edge is 3.93%, or about $39.30 lost per $1,000 wagered over a long run. For 100 spins, the average cost is $0.79 at $0.20 a spin, $3.93 at $1 and $19.65 at $5, which is $500 wagered.
No volatility label or max win is published in our catalogue, so there is no stated ceiling for the game.
Peers from 2024
Big Bass Floats My Boat, Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake, Big Bass Xmas Extreme, Hand of Midas 2 and The Alter Ego all list the same 96.07% in 2024. Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake has a recorded max win of 5,000x, a number this game does not have on record. Blazing Wilds Megaways is at 96.06%.
Pros
- A horse pick lets the player set a feature for the whole bonus
- A random feature can add a missing third scatter after two land
- Every four fisherman symbols add 10 free spins and a rising multiplier
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No volatility rating or max win in our catalogue
- The studio text does not list all horse features or the opening spin count
Verdict
Big Bass Day at the Races is built around a choice: a horse that sets a feature for the entire bonus, on top of a 10-payline 5×3 base game and fisherman retriggers worth 10 spins each. The 96.07% RTP gives a 3.93% house edge, and volatility is not published. Because the effect of each horse is only partly described, the free demo is the best way to see what the options are before staking anything.
