Pragmatic Play expands popular franchise with Big Bass Mission Fishin', featuring two bonus games

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play has launched a new instalment in its Big Bass series with Big Bass Mission Fishin', featuring two "thrilling" bonus games.

“Under the cover of darkness, everyone's favorite fisherman goes underwater in search of high-paying symbols,” says the provider. Players can select one of two missions when they hit three or more fish scatters to trigger the bonus round. 

If players choose free spins, they first get to pick from a selection of top-secret files containing bonus game modifiers, including more fish symbols, more fisherman wilds, more dynamites, hooks, and bazookas, and two additional free spins. They can even start the feature at level two with a 2x multiplier. But if a file reveals a boot, the pick game ends, and the bonus game begins with between 10 and 22 free spins. 

During free spins, random money symbols worth up to 5,000x the total bet can be won, and every fourth wild-to-land awards 10 additional free spins with a 2x, 3x, or 10x multiplier (levels two, three, and four respectively). 

If players choose the Stack the Cash mission, a new game grid emerges where only fish coin symbols can hit – with random values of up to 25x the total bet. A robo-crab takes up position beneath each reel and the feature begins with four respins. Whenever a fish coin hits, it remains on screen and the respins count resets to four.
 
If fish coins fill a reel, the robo-crab collects their values, and the reel is cleared of symbols. Each fish coin that lands also sees a bomb drop on a random reel, doubling the value of all fish coins on the reel and robot crab. 

Big Bass Mission Fishin' extends the Big Bass game series from Pragmatic Play and follows other recent releases Medusa's Stone and Sweet Bonanza 1000. 

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: "The Big Bass series from Pragmatic Play continues to enthrall players, win accolades, and embark on new adventures around the world. Big Bass Mission Fishin' introduces two feature-packed missions for players to tackle, with fantastic prizes on the line in each." 

The news comes a month after the company announced the release of Big Bass Bonanza – Reel Action. In the 5x3 slot, where money symbols can be worth up to 2,000x the total bet, hitting three, four, or five scatters activates a bonus game with 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively.
