All About the Bass Slot Review

The All About the Bass Slot Game

You’re probably thinking, “Where do I get to play for free?” GoodLuckMate has been considerate enough to offer the slot’s demo on this website. So, you can try thisCrazy Tooth Studio slot at no cost!

I'm about to disappoint you if you were waiting to meet the usual blue or golden waters most fishing slots adopt. But in a good way. All About the Bass has a dominant Turquoise shade.

The crazy-looking fisherman donning a purple hat is joined by a beautiful female and two other chaps, making a team of four. I’ll give this developing studio credit for being gender inclusive.

Although the reels aren’t transparent, they are sized proportionately to allow you to take in the half-underwater scenery. Meanwhile, a chilled guitar soundtrack combines with a fishing rod-reeling sound, immersing you in the outdoor adventure.

Symbols and Payouts

Our next stop leads us to the slot’s paytable, which includes 10 regular symbols to help you form winning symbol combinations.

To do so, you should match at least three identical symbols on any of the 21 permanent paylines. Further, the combination(s) should be on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel to represent a winning combination.

The All About the Bass paytable changes dynamically to reflect the selected bet.

There are six low-paying symbols, including the Basket, Can or Worms, Float, Net, Hat, and Cool Box. For 3+ of each, they’ll pay 0.08x, 0.16x, and 0.4x the total stake.

Moving onto the high-valued symbols, you’ll find the Green Fisherlady and Purple, Blue, and Red Fishermen. Again, aim for 3+ to secure between 0.16x, 0.32x, and 0.8x the bet.

In addition to the regular symbols, the game has regular, x2, and x3 wilds that substitute for all paying symbols. However, the x2 wild appears on odd-numbered reels. While the x3 wild hits on even-numbered columns. Both multiplier wilds multiply the pay for their winning combinations by the respective value!

Meanwhile, the Passive, Boat, and Hook symbols only hit in the base game but don’t pay.  

All About the Bass Slot Bonus Features

Don’t be shocked if you meet a cash collect feature, a.k.a. the All About the Bass feature. Additionally, there’s an All About the Bonus mode!

All About the Bass Feature

Aim for the Boat symbol above the reel and a Hook directly below it to activate this feature. Once triggered, it awards the Fish prize directly below the Hook. They include the Small, Medium, Large, and Mega Fish worth 4x to 960x the bet. The game also has unique Fish that can award:

• Collect All - rewards the total of the four other Fish prizes.
• Instant Bonus - triggers the All About the Bonus.
• 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x multiplies another Fish prize by the corresponding amount before awarding the multiplied amount. The value of the 2x to 5x special Fish increases whenever it moves below the next column along the bottom of the gameboard.

If you receive a Small, Mid, Large, or Mega Fish and 2x or 3x wild multiplier lands on the reel above the awarded fish, the fish prize value will be multiplied by x2 or x3, respectively.

Fish prizes may shift during the base game. Also, they are repopulated with a similar or higher value once awarded. Then, the All About the Bass feature ends when you’re awarded the Fish prize.

All About the Bonus

Manage 3 scatters in view on the reels to activate this feature with 5 bonus spins. The reels will have 0.4 to 6 initial credit values and special bonus icons:

• The Retrigger symbol increases the number of spins by the activating multiplier value. Then, the retrigger symbol becomes an active credit value equal to the minimum initial credit amount.
• Credit Boost increases all the activated credit values on-screen by the credit boost increase value (0.20) times the activating multiplier.
• The Row and Column symbols activate all other gameboard positions on the same row and column with the activating multiplier.
• If an Orthogonal symbol is activated, all the available positions directly to its left, right, bottom, and top are activated with the activating multiplier.

At least one x2 to x5 Fish Multipliers will land on the reels for every bonus round. Every multiplier that lands unlocks the credit value or the special symbol it appears on.

Each special symbol can only be activated once per landed multiplier, and all reel positions are limited to a max credit value of 1,800.

How to Win at All About the Bass Slot

At first, the bonuses may feel complex. But I’m sure that trying the demo game here at GoodLuckMate will prepare you adequately for what awaits!

The reels take after a 5x3 configuration with 21 fixed win lines. Matching three or more symbols next to each other on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel, will trigger a winning symbol combination.

For the record, the game allows you to activate tutorial messages from the Menu pop-up. You can also find the paytable from there.

Your journey requires setting an ideal bet between € 0.25 and € 25 before heading out to fish. Then, use the Spin button, designed as a floater, to prompt the reels to roll once.

Otherwise, All About the Bass also offers an Autoplay option, which you can use to start several auto-spins. And finally, use the double-arrow button to enable/disable fastplay mode!

All About the Bass Slot RTP & Volatility

The most you can win in this game is 9,009x your bet! However, you must endure its medium to high volatility and 96.17% RTP. 

The Final Thoughts

I might sound brutal, but I don’t think the iGaming community needs another bass slot for crying out loud! It’s like being fed the same menu of fish combined with money-collecting features and free spins daily. Indeed, online slot enthusiasts need a change, and assuming game developers are innovative enough, they should be able to find an alternative.

Despite my reservations about bass fishing slots, I must give flowers to Crazy Tooth Studio for this slightly different experience. In short, the Games Global partner didn’t just lift the experience from another similar game.

Although the collect feature here is typical of such games, it felt more refined than it usually is. As such, you’ll have a more revamped adventure, unlike what the Big Bass and Fishin’ Frenzy sequels offer. Because of that, I think this game could stand out among the rest of the franchises from the industry’s top brands.
