Big Bass Hold & Spinner

In March 2023 Pragmatic Play released Big Bass Bonanza Hold & Spinner, adding a fresh twist to the popular series with the new Money Respin feature. The game keeps the classic 5 × 3 layout with 10 fixed pay-lines and layers in mechanics that enrich the experience.

Game Features

Money symbols trigger the Money Respin, locking their positions for the respins. The new Spinner symbol launches a bonus wheel with multipliers ranging from 2 × to 100 ×. The Fisherman collector interacts with both standard and locked values, while the boosted fish values climb as high as 250 × the base bet.

Enhanced Pay-table Structure

• Float: top-paying symbol (200 × your stake for five on a line)
• Rod, dragonfly, tackle box, fish: mid-pay icons
• A, K, Q, J, 10: low-pay symbols
• Fisherman Wild: appears only in Free Spins, substituting for all symbols except Scatter and Money symbols; also collects Money values
• Money symbol: carries a random value each spin (from a predefined set) and is key to the Money Respin feature
• Scatter (fish icon): land three or more to trigger the Free-Spin round

The interplay between these features creates compound win potential.

How to Play

Big Bass Bonanza Hold & Spinner accepts bets from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. Money symbols activate respins and lock in place. Fill the grid or land specific combos to fire up the Spinner wheel for bigger prizes.

The hold-and-respin mechanic is crucial:

• Respins keep rolling as long as new activators land
• All active positions remain locked for the duration
• Collectors multiply visible values
• The Spinner adds its wheel multiplier
• Up to 15 positions can be locked

Different devices offer unique advantages. Mobile users get portrait mode and quick-spin options; desktop players see expanded stats and history tracking; tablets provide enhanced touch zones and a hybrid layout. Chrome browsers optimise animations for smooth in-browser play.

Bonus Games

Three Scatters launch the bonus with 10 Free Spins and progressive multipliers up to 10 ×. Wheel multipliers can stack during the bonus.

With an RTP of 97.02 % and high volatility, the top win is 10 000 × your stake. The hold feature triggers roughly every 35 spins, while the Spinner wheel hits about every 75 spins. Base game contributes 45 % of the RTP, Money Respin 25 %, and Free Spins 27.02 %.
