Big Fin Bay

If you're in the mood for a sunshine break but can't quite get away, Big Fin Bay from Thunderkick is the next best thing. An online slot in a gorgeous setting, Big Fin Bay will take you away from all the stresses and strains of everyday life. And even better, if you manage to hit the top prize, you could even collect a payout of x15040. 

There aren't any sandy beaches in Big Fin Bay, but the beautiful blue sea stretches out forever. And with a bit of a sea-shanty tone to the soundtrack, you'll feel as if you've escaped away from the hustle and bustle. Most of the other slots which feature the ocean mean taking a dive beneath the surface, but if you're keen to admire your surroundings from above, Lucky Larry's Lobstermania 2 is another one to check out. For more of a sandy beach vibe, there's Sam on the Beach, Spina Colada and the very beautiful Aloha! Cluster Pays.  

Back in Big Fin Bay, the game is set over six reels, but each one contains a different number of symbols with every spin. Surely a Megaways slot, we hear you ask, but no! It looks very similar to a Megaways game, but unlike a Megaways slot title, Big Fin Bay has the same number of ways to win each spin - at least in the base game. You'll be playing with 5040 ways to win on every turn, but bear in mind the board could look different each time! Volatility is high, but it's no hardship to hang out in such an idyllic location… 

As we’ve mentioned above, the style of this slot is very peaceful, giving players the chance to sit back and relax while they gaze out over the ocean. In the distance, a puffy white cloud drifts past lazily in the azure blue sky, while quaint seaside towns perch near the cliffs.  

The six low pays are made up from the playing card symbols on the reels, while four of the five premiums are different coloured fish. The top symbol is a white-bearded fisherman complete with pipe and squinty glare! 

The wild is a golden swordfish - because, why not?! - and this will substitute for any of the regular pays on the reels. 

The golden wild doesn't just stand-in for other symbols; every time it lands and is included in a winning line, it will expand to fill up the rest of the reel. That gives you an even better chance of bagging multiple wins.  

There’s also a Mystery Wild feature which is triggered randomly during the base game. Up to three wild reels will appear to boost your opportunities to make multiple matches. No scatters will appear on the reels during this feature. 

And speaking of scatters: if you land three or more on the board, you'll unlock the free spins round. However, unlike other slots, you won't get a specific allocation of free spins that's predetermined. Instead, each reel that contains a scatter will give you a number of free spins, giving you the total. Each reel can award a maximum of free spins so even just from landing three scatters, you could end up with 18 free spins.  

During this bonus round, every time a wild lands it will expand to fill the whole reel, and it will award a respin. The reels will expand by one symbol during each respin, extending the number of paylines. Any extra rows which are added will remain in play until the end of the free spins round. Three more free spins will be awarded once any reel has reached its maximum reel size. 

Big Fin Bay from Thunderkick is a fun slot where everything is constantly changing. The different sized reels in the base game, extra features, and the bonus round ensure that even though the setting is relaxing, you'll always be on the go! The top payout is excellent, and the high volatility will give you a chance of the bigger wins.
