Big Bass Mission Fishin' Slot by Pragmatic Play

Number seventeen in the Big Bass lineup swaps the usual lakeside setting for a spy-thriller underwater operation. The fisherman shows up in tactical gear - goggles, spear gun, black wetsuit - and the reels trade bass boats for stealth speedboats and grappling guns. It's mostly cosmetic, but the Mission Impossible-style soundtrack and night-dive visuals sell the tone well enough.

The main draw here is the bonus selection. Three or more scatters let you pick between two paths: a traditional Free Spins round or the Stack the Cash feature. Free Spins run through four progressive levels, each boosting the cash multiplier - starting at 1x and climbing to 10x by level four. Before the round begins, you pick a modifier from options like extra fishermen, dynamites, hooks and bazookas, or simply more spins. The fisherman Wild still works the same way it does across the series - he collects the value of every visible money fish on the reels.

Stack the Cash plays more like a hold-and-win mechanic. Robo-crabs and money fish coins fill the grid, each carrying a random value up to 25x. Every new fish coin that lands resets the respin counter. Bombs are the key symbol here - they double the value of all fish coins sitting on the same reel. All collected values pay out once the respins run dry.

Wild respins trigger randomly in the base game when enough fisherman Wilds appear on the grid. More Wilds showing up means more respins get added. Fish coin values range from small change up to 5,000x, which also happens to be the game's ceiling.
