The Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel slot is a fish-themed slot game in a long line of Big Bass slots, all of which change a little of what you get within the free spins bonus feature.
The Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel is a 5×3 reel, 10 payline casino game from Reel Kingdom featuring Money Collect feature, Free Spins, and a 10,000x bet max win.
This is a video slot where you’ll find fishing gear as the higher-paying symbols, along with A – 10 symbols as the lower-paying ones and fish symbols throughout. It follows the same theme as the original Big Bass Bonanza slot, Big Bass Splash slot and Bigger Bass Bonanza slot, so if you’re familiar with them, you know what you get here.
The only major difference is that Reel Kingdom have decided to pack even more features into the Free Spins bonus game, which is good and bad at the same time.
As slot players, we’d have preferred to see more features in the base game to help keep our interest, as the free spin bonus can take a while to hit unless you buy them for 100x your bet using the Buy Free Spins button.
The free spins are where you could find that 10,000x top win. However, you’ll have to be lucky to walk away with anything close to that when you enter the free spins, even though it’s packed full of features.
Features that include:
It’s a bonus that has the potential to win big, but you can expect more like 40 – 100x your bet back on a good round with 1000+ on a great round.

Wild: Fisherman is the wild symbol and is needed in the free spins to collect the fish money symbols.
Free Spins: 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins. During the free spins, the fish money symbols can be collected every time a wild symbol shows up. If money symbols show on a spin, but no wild appears, the fish money symbols on the reels are added to a net. These netted fish can only be won when a special golden wild symbol appears. Every spin that the netted symbols aren't won, a fish symbol will escape reducing the total amount winnable.
Adding to this, every wild symbol is collected during your free spins, with every 4th wild rewarding you with 10 free spins, increasing the fish money collection multiplier each time from 2x, 3x and 10x.
On top of this, randomly, when there are wilds but no fish symbols on the screen, fish symbols can randomly appear via the Dynamite feature creating a win. Randomly if there are fish symbols but no wild symbols on the screen, a hook will appear to reel in a fisherman Wild symbol creating a win.
Ante Bet: Turn on the Ante Bet which, for an extra 50% of your bet and more Scatter symbols, will appear on the reels, increasing your odds of triggering the free spins bonus.
Buy Free Spins: For 100x your bet, you can trigger a random number of free spins, either 10, 15 or 20.
The problem with the Big Bass Bonanza slots is that the base game can be boring. You get little to few wins, and you need to be lucky to see the free spins in less than 100 base game spins.
This Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel slot is the same. Reel Kingdom has added nothing new to the base game but added all the features to the free spins.
It makes the free spins bonus exciting for sure, and you can technically win up to 10,000x your bet, but you'll need to be lucky or afford the 100x bet to trigger the free spins.
Overall, a good addition to the Reel Kingdom slots collection, but it would have been nice to see some of the random features added to the base game instead of the free spins.
Take it for a spin at one of our best Pragmatic casinos or take a look at other fishing slots like Bass Boss from Red Tiger or Boat Bonanza from Play'n GO.
