Pragmatic Play adds one more title to its Big Bass series, this time featuring football. Big Bass Football Bonanza makes sense right away due to the current mood around the World Cup and the decision to move Pragmatic’s iconic fisherman from water to the football field.
It is an ordinary five-reel slot played with three rows and all familiar gameplay elements, but now with a different setting. Instead of a boat, lake, and fishing gear, players will find themselves in a bright stadium with a football match in progress. The fishermen have changed too, with one additional teammate.
This time the main bonus game has football-related elements. When 3, 4, or 5 trophy scatters land on reels, players enter the feature for 15, 20 or 25 free spins. This time, two teams (wilds colored in red and blue) collect money symbols and compete for them as if they are playing in a football match in the stadium. The concept is quite straightforward but works well enough within the theme.
As expected from any Big Bass, it is possible to chase wins. Pragmatic Play talks about a win potential of up to 5,000x. Also, money symbols can have a value of up to 5,000x. In addition, every fourth wild captured by the team adds ten more free spins and increases multiplier to 2x, 3x, and 10x during subsequent activations.
The good thing about this game is that it tries to keep things simple. Those players who have experience playing Big Bass slots will know what to expect from the start, and the fact that it has a football theme makes it relevant at this moment in time. It is a seasonal slot game, but it does not seem lazy in its approach.
From the point of view of casino marketing, this is a very easy slot to promote on days when there is plenty going on in football. Pragmatic Play is one of the best-known providers of online slots, and Big Bass is a popular slot franchise.

It does away with some of the studio’s more typical Egyptian and Greek themes for ancient Chinese mythology, and the game is played on a 7×7 grid that uses cluster pays rather than traditional […]
