Big Bass Hold & Spinner Megaways Slot by Pragmatic Play

The tenth Big Bass game bolts the Megaways engine onto the franchise formula. Six reels with variable rows create up to 147,456 ways, and three extra rows sit on top of reels 2 through 5. These top rows spin independently from right to left and lock or unlock randomly each spin. The topmost row carries only wilds and blanks.

Two separate bonus systems run in parallel. Free spins trigger from three or more scatters (10 to 25 spins depending on count). During the bonus, fisherman symbols collect the values from every fish money symbol visible on screen. Fish money symbols stop disappearing during tumbles and instead sink to the bottom, staying available for collection. Every fourth fisherman collected retriggers the round with 10 extra spins and an escalating multiplier - x2 on the first retrigger, x3 on the second, x10 on the third, then +10 for each one after. No cap on retriggers.

The Hold & Spin bonus fires when three or more coin money symbols land. Three respins start the clock, and each new coin money resets that counter back to three. Regular coins carry values from 1x to 30x total bet. Diamond coins pull from a separate pool: 50x, 100x, 200x, 300x, 500x, 1,000x, or 2,000x. A minimum 20x total bet win is guaranteed - if respins run out below that threshold, three more are added.

Mystery symbols transform into a single matching pay symbol during base game spins. During free spins, they show up only when fisherman symbols are present without fish money, transforming into random symbols instead. A dynamite event can randomly force fish money symbols onto the reels in the same situation.
