Bass Boss

Fishing is always a great theme for a video slot. And, over the years, it’s been fishing for bass that has become the more popular route to travel down for developers. We often think if you can link a theme into the premise of a slot, it works a treat, and you could say that when punters play slots, they’re fishing for a prize.

Red Tiger with titles like Piggy Riches Megaways and 777 Strike under their name, stick to the standard setup with Bass Boss, giving punters ten paylines that are spread across the traditional five reels. But, what will stand this slot in good stead is that it’s one of the latest releases in the genre. Therefore it should prove to be popular with players.

Punters can get involved in the visually impressive action in this Red Tiger release from just 0.10 per spin, while there's a top stake of 20.00 available for those with a bit more to spend. The top prize is 4,825x, which is a fair offering.

Of course, Red Tiger also loads Bass Boss with several features, and they attempt to intertwine the fishing theme with everything as it plays out, which is another positive. It's always great to see a theme that runs through the gameplay instead of it just being a gimmick.

Of course, Bass Boss is all about fishing. But, more specifically, it’s about being the bass boss and reeling in those record-breaking catches. And this is going to become apparent on the reels, with some of those fish appearing as icons. For example, punters will see goldfish take up three positions on the reels.

The lower paying icons in the selection, as always, are royals, with 10, J, Q, K and A all involved. But, what makes them great in Bass Boss is that they come accompanied by a fishing-related item. Also on the reels are icons such as fishing reels, boats and hats.

As the reels spin in Bass Boss, it's essential to keep an eye out for the fisherman at the top of the screen because, from time to time, he's going to lower his line and hook one of the game's rows. And, all the fish, which come with monetary values attached, will be caught. It's the game's Catch Bonus, and it happens at random.

The fish that come with cash monetary values attached are green 5x, blue 15x, red 50x and gold 200x. Further multipliers can also get involved in the act and boost winnings by up to 10x.

There is a free spins round, and as always, players will need three or more scatter icons in view simultaneously to get their hands on up to twenty Contest Spins.

During the free spins, the fisherman in the boat above the game area will always get involved, so attempting to get high-value fish icons on the reels when it happens is critical. There can be a further boost of 10x to increase winnings.

Bass Boss is the latest fishing-themed slot game to hit the scene, and it’s a good one. But it’s what you expect when Red Tiger Gaming are the developers. As always, Red Tiger show their prowess by giving players a fishing theme and then applying it to all areas of the game, including the bonus features. There’s also the incentive of being the bass boss and reeling in the biggest catches, which, in turn, will lead to the biggest cash prizes.
