SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: April 25, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
The scary season is always an important event on the slots calendar and Pragmatic Play are one of the best at these types of slot games. There is a touch of genius in this one as they have reskinned one of their most popular slots in Big Bass Bonanza to bring to you Big Bass Halloween. Spooky music, a fisherman with a hook for a hand, zombie fish and mutated ravens await you.
Big Bass Halloween is much darker given that it is a horror themed slot and it is in the bonus game where this slot really comes to life. You can buy the bonus round for 100 times the stake. Another option is to increase the ante bet which increases the stake by 50%, giving an extra chance of landing the scatters which trigger the free spins bonus round. Regarding the symbols, values for a payline of five matching symbols will give multipliers of between 10 and 200 times the bet. The fisherman with the hook is the wild symbol, but will only show during the free spins bonus game.
BIG BASS HALLOWEEN RTP AND FEATURES
An important factor for most slots players when picking a new slot to play is the return to player (RTP), I can tell you that the RTP of Big Bass Halloween is 96.04%. This is slightly higher than the average slot game, although not as high as the original Big Bass Bonanza which has an RTP of 96.71%.
The fish symbols are one of the most important symbols in Big Bass Halloween as they land with random money values which range from 2x to 2,000x your bet. During the base game, landing 3,4, or 5 scatter symbols will trigger 10,15 or 20 free spins. During the free spins round, when a fisherman lands and there are fish money symbols in view, you will win the value displayed on them. The Fisherman symbols are also collected when they hit a win and for every fourth one collected, 10 more free spins are retriggered
Finally, Big Bass Halloween is a medium/high volatility slot played on five reels and three rows with 10 paylines.
Full list of features in Big Bass Halloween:
- Free spins
- Bonus game
- Scatter symbols
- Random money wins
- Respins

BIG BASS HALLOWEEN MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
The maximum potential payout which you can win playing Big Bass Halloween is 2,100x your bet. Hitting the max payout is rare, of course. As already mentioned, multipliers can range from 2x all the way up to 2,000x and repsins are available meaning that it is entirely possible to hit big max payouts numerous times in a row.
When I played Big Bass Halloween for myself, I managed to trigger 10 free spins after landing three scatter symbols betting £2 per spin. During the bonus game I won a total of £64 with two of the 10 free spins triggering wins – one for a £62 win and the other for a £2 win.
STRATEGIES FOR PLAYING BIG BASS HALLOWEEN
This depends on your bankroll, but I tend to favour a lower betting strategy which can be anything from £0.01 up to £2. When I played for real money, I was betting £2 per spin but my bankroll is fairly high. My recommendation is to bet an amount you are comfortable with – meaning bet what you are comfortable with losing.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Overall, my experience of playing Big Bass Halloween was positive, but I have jotted down a few of my thoughts on both the advantages and disadvantages below.
Advantages:
- Simple to play with easy to understand features
- Great graphics and gameplay
- Spooky soundtrack
Disadvantages:
- Lower RTP compared to the original Big Bass Bonanza slot
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Big Bass Halloween is a brilliant rehashed version of the excellent original slot. The features are top notch and the gameplay is simple and rewarding enough.”
