Overview

Big Bass Hold & Spinner is a 5-reel, 3-row slot with 10 fixed paylines. The min/max bet range spans €0.10 to €250 per spin. The slot has high volatility and includes features like Hold and Spin, Free Spins, and the option for bonus buys. Big Bass Hold & Spinner is available on desktop and mobile from all major online casinos.

The default RTP is 96.07%, but an optional ante bet boosts this to 96.09% for a 50% bet increase. The maximum win possible is 10,000x your stake. Let's look at the base gameplay and rewarding bonus features this slot offers.

My Thoughts Overall

As soon as I loaded up Big Bass Hold & Spinner, the inviting aquatic theme pulled me in. The bright colors, playful symbols like dragonflies and tackle boxes, and views of fish swimming in the background created a relaxing setting I was happy to inhabit. The audio reinforced the laidback vibe with chilled out, bubbly music and the occasional splash or reel spinning sound effect.

With 10 fixed paylines, bets ranging from $0.10 to $250 per spin, and medium volatility, the gameplay hit the sweet spot for me. Smaller bets allow you to steadily build up funds while big spenders can drop some serious cash for those epic wins. While you won't hit payouts as frequently as a low variance game, the rewards are larger when they do come.

In terms of base game rewards, landing 3 to 5 matching symbols on a line leads to payouts up to 200x your bet. But the real value lies in the Hold & Spinner and free spin features.

The Hold & Spinner respins round really impressed me with its creative take on the typical hold mechanic. By keeping triggering symbols locked while replacing others, the round provides tons of anticipation as you wait to see which high-value symbols get added. With prizes up to 2,000x your stake, this is one hold feature you'll be eager to hit.

And fans of the Big Bass series will be happy to see the return of the lucrative free spins with collecting wilds and retriggers. With multipliers reaching a whopping 10x and fish values climbing as high as 10,000x your bet, these free spins can result in some jaw-dropping payouts.

Add in the ability to buy bonuses, and Big Bass Hold & Spinner really provides an appealing overall experience. Whether you're new to the series or a veteran, it's hard not to have fun here.

Bonus Features

Big Bass Hold & Spinner includes two highly rewarding bonus features:

Hold & Spinner

Triggered by landing 3 money symbols (diamonds or coins)
Locks triggering symbols and awards 3 respins
New money symbols reset spins and pay values
Prizes up to 2,000x your stake

The Hold & Spinner round provides a fun new twist on typical hold features. When you hit 3 money symbols, they remain locked in place while the rest of the reels reset for 3 respins. Any new money symbols that appear will reset the spins and pay their values, while also getting removed after that spin.

With money symbols bearing values from 1x to 2,000x your bet, hitting multiples during the respins can lead to huge payouts. I always got a rush from seeing a high-value symbol land. This is an engaging take on the popular hold mechanism.

Free Spins

Awarded for landing 3+ scatters
10 free spins for 3 scatters, 15 for 4, 20 for 5
Wilds collect fish symbol values up to 10,000x bet
Wild collection triggers re-spins and multipliers

Fans of Big Bass will instantly recognize the free spins in Hold & Spinner. During this round, wild symbols collect the values of any fish symbols in view. Then each wild collected fills the meter above the reels - every 4 fills trigger 10 more free spins and increase multipliers up to 10x!

With fish bearing values up to 10,000x your stake, the collecting mechanic alongside retriggers and multipliers can result in legendary payouts. This is the feature to watch for epic wins.

Win Potential

With an RTP of 96.07%, medium volatility, and max payout of 10,000x your bet, Big Bass Hold & Spinner offers strong winning potential. Here's a look at possible payouts:

Base Game

Common small wins up to 50x stake
Line wins up to 200x (for 5 fishing floats)

Bonus

Hold & Spinner: Up to 2,000x wins during respins
Free Spins: Up to 10,000x wins thanks to collecting wilds and multipliers

While landing line wins in the base game provides minor rewards, the bonuses are where Big Bass Hold & Spinner really shines. With both features capable of paying over 1,000x your stake, you can walk away with monster wins if you hit them. The Hold & Spinner and free spin features complement each other nicely - one provides frequent small/medium wins, while the free spins account for those mega jackpots.

Verdict

Big Bass Hold & Spinner may seem familiar at first to fans of the series, but small twists help keep gameplay exciting. The Hold & Spinner's creative take on a typical hold feature provides regular anticipation and rewards, while the free spins offer epic but less frequent payouts. With two lucrative bonuses, great graphics and audio, and simple 10-line setup, this is a fishing game anyone can enjoy.

I'd easily recommend Big Bass Hold & Spinner for its balance of volatility, winning potential, and fun aquatic theme. It finds the sweet spot between risk and reward. Just be ready to buy a bigger boat for all those big bass jackpots!
