Big Bass Halloween 2

Introduction to Big Bass Halloween 2

After the success of Big Bass Halloween, Pragmatic Play has decided to create a sequel with even more features. The partnership with Reel Kingdom immensely helped craft the slot, as they incorporated more horror elements into the game.

In this review, our team of experts will analyse this slot and provide information about how to play and the rewards. Keep reading to learn more about this unique game.

Game Features and Mechanics

Like most Big Bass titles, this Pragmatic Play slot has five reels, three rows, and 10 paylines. We spun the reels with different wagers between the betting range of €0.10 and €250.

During our review, we noticed a few similarities and differences in design with the older version. First is the main character, who looks like a haunting fisherman in the first instalment, and the other is a zombie with a chainsaw.

The design for the symbols is a mixture of horror and fishing, where you have zombified fish and fishermen. There are a total of ten regular icons divided into low- and high-paying. The former are card figures (A, K, Q, J, and 10), and the latter include mosquitoes, tackle boxes, chainsaws, and trucks.

We also enjoyed the soundtrack that played while spinning the reels. It had a dramatic yet fun vibe, especially when a bonus feature triggered.

How to Play Big Bass Halloween 2

Here is a complete guide on how to play Big Bass Halloween 2:

Pick a licensed and reliable online casino. Then, register or log into your account, if you already have one.
Go to the slot page and look for “Big Bass Halloween 2” using the search bar.
Load the game and set your wager. Use the + and—buttons to customise it to your preferred amount.
You can use the speaker button to toggle the game's sound on or off. The “i” button shows the symbols and their respective payouts.
Click on the spin button to start the game.

Pragmatic Play added the autoplay feature, which allowed us to spin the reels a predetermined number of times. To do so, we set the number of spins (from 10 to 1000). Next, we tried the turbo spin option on the “Autoplay” page. This allowed us to play the game at a faster speed, reducing our playing time.

Big Bass Halloween 2 RTP and Volatility

Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Halloween 2 comes with 96.71% RTP for the regular game and the Buy Bonus feature. Based on our calculation, with a €100 wager, you can expect a potential return of about €96.71, leaving €3.29 as the house edge.

Note that this is not a guaranteed reward but the result of hundreds of test spins. Regarding volatility, Big Bass Halloween 2 sets the bar very high.

Playing for Free vs Playing for Real Money

While you can play Big Bass Halloween 2 with your money, Pragmatic Play provides a free demo mode. You don’t have to play with real cash, but any rewards you get cannot be withdrawn. Use the Big Bass Halloween free play sequel to learn more about the game before playing it with real money.

Big Bass Halloween 2 Bonus Features

Money Symbols

Aside from the fish scatter, other fish icons serve as money symbols. They appear on almost all spins, and you can only win them during the free spins feature. Depending on their size, these fish symbols offer 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,666x, 2,500x, or 5,000x multipliers.

Free Spins

The free spins feature is the game's main attraction, and you can trigger it by landing three, four, or five scatters. Depending on the number of scatters you get, the game rewards you with 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The fun doesn’t end there.

If you only landed two scatters by chance, the game may trigger a random feature that can get the third icon. These include:

A respin that triggers when the two scatter symbols are not at the bottom row. When this feature activates, the scatter icons move down one position, and the other reels respond to get the extra scatter.
A hook feature that randomly pulls one of the reels without a scatter to get the third one that triggers the free spins. (We got this feature, which got us the extra scatter.)

Getting these random features doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the third scatter. Once the FS feature is triggered, the game randomly picks several modifiers for this bonus round. These include:

More Fish: Increases the number of fish symbols (money icons) on the reels.
More Dynamites, Chainsaws, and Hooks: Get a higher chance to trigger these modifiers.
More Fisherman: Adds more fisherman wilds on the reels.
+2 Free Spins: Start with two extra free spins and get +2 with every retrigger.
Start From Level 2: Skips the first tier and moves directly to the second level of the progressive bonus feature.

Like the prequel, in Big Bass Halloween 2, the fisherman (wild) is a cash collector. This allows you to collect all the money symbols that appear in the free spins feature.

Here are the rewards:

4th Fisherman Wilds: +10 free spins + x2 multiplier
8th Fisherman Wilds: +10 free spins + x3 multiplier
12th Fisherman Wilds: +10 free spins + x10 multiplier

If you are lucky, three more modifiers may randomly trigger during this mode if the conditions are met. They include:

Hook: This triggers if you have fish symbols (money icons) on the reels but not fisherman (wild) to collect. A hook will randomly pull a reel to reveal a wild symbol.
Dynamite: The opposite is the case with this feature. Some symbols may change to money icons for a cash reward if you have wilds but not fish symbols.
Chainsaw: This modifier activates at the end of the free spins when there are 1+ wilds but no money symbols. It changes all the icons except the fisherman on the reels to random symbols.

Bonus Buy

Pragmatic Play added the Bonus Buy, allowing players to trigger the free spins feature for a price. You need to pay 100x your wager to activate the offer.
