Play Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake

Go fishing for money symbols, and you might just reel in a win in this slot game. 

Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake is a five-reel, three-row slot from Pragmatic Play with 10 fixed paylines. The game is part of the popular Big Bass series, and it comes with a maximum win of 5,000x your stake. 

When you play this game, you’ll be looking out for high-paying symbols like a rod and a tacklebox, or better yet, the money symbols, which each hold random cash values of between 2x and 5,000x your total bet amount. The fisherman symbol will collect the money for you during the free spins round. 

Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake takes place underwater, so you can expect animated elements like fish swimming around the game grid, bubbles, and waving seaweed. The background and soundtrack are a bit mysterious, adding to the theme of secrets and hidden treasures. 

Once you’ve opened the game, click the plus or minus options to set your stake. You can adjust the bet amount and coin value, which will determine your stake amount. At this point, you might also want to take a quick look at the game info so that you know exactly what to look for. 

Then, click on the spin button, and thanks to Random Number Generator technology, symbols will land on the reels, potentially creating winning combinations. To trigger a win, you need to match the same symbols on adjacent reels from left to right on one of the 10 paylines. Your stake amount will determine exactly how much you win. 

If you’ve played any other Big Bass slots before, you might be familiar with some symbols you’ll see here. The higher-paying symbols are the dragonfly, tacklebox, and lures, while the number and letter symbols from a deck of cards will award you smaller wins. There are also special money symbols, each of which has a cash value, and those can be collected during the free spins round. 

To get an idea of how the game pays out, you can check out the table below, based on a bet value of 10 and a coin value of 0.01, for a total stake of £1:

Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake only has one special feature - free spins. You can get up to 20 of them at a time, and there are two different bonus rounds, so you’ll be awarded one of them randomly. 

Free spins round

Get at least three of the big bass scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, and you’ll open up the free spins round. You’ll get 10, 15, or 20 free spins depending on how many scatters appear.

Before the round starts, draw a card to see which bonus round you get. There’s an extra special free spins round called the Golden Lake, where all symbols will disappear from the grid and be replaced with money symbols, wilds, and blanks. All winning combinations with money symbols are paid out, and Fisherman symbols collect the cash values of the money symbols. 

During the normal free spins round, the fisherman wild symbol can appear on all of the reels, and he substitutes for all regular symbols to make winning combinations, plus collects cash from the money symbols.

Every fourth fisherman will re-trigger the free spins. In both the standard round and the Golden Lake round, the value of the money symbols increases every time the spins are re-triggered.
