Big Bass Halloween Slot Machine

Loading the game displays an unsettling starting screen, with the fisherman from previous Big Bass games looking menacingly at us, dressed in a black raincoat and holding a large fish hook, all against a gloomy stormy sky. Not that it will send shivers down your spine, but it is spooky, albeit not in the way that most slot games are spooky. The scene is complemented by the statement "Something wicked swims this way!"', a reference that players familiar with Ray Bradbury's work should recognise. After we load in, the Big Bass Halloween game transports us to the customary fishing site, but it's considerably darker than usual.  The water has gone murky and muddy, as has the sky, and all of the symbols have changed to reflect the theme. The lower-paying card royals are bloodied and patched, the fish, hook, lifebuoy, and tacklebox are all coated in blood, and the dragonfly from older Big Bass slots has vanished, having been selected by the blood-covered raven.

Aside from paying regularly, fish symbols have a random cash value. This can range from 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, to an incredible 2,000x the bet. When Big Bass Halloween free spins begin, these values become active and can be collected. Landing 2, 3, or 5 Scatter symbols on the reels during any basic spin grants access to the bonus, which includes 10, 15, or 20 initial free spins. As previously stated, new fisherman Wild symbols appear during free games, and whenever one lands in the same view as one or more fish symbols, the cash values represented on the fish are gathered and handed out to the player.  If more than one fisherman appears, the cash rewards are collected individually for each Wild symbol. Another function of the fisherman Wilds is that they are collected during the Big Bass Halloween free spins bonus and added to a special metre above the reels. Each fisherman progresses you one step along the trail, and every four steps upgrades the feature to the next level.
