The Big Bass Bonanza series is back for another round of reeling in (potential) wins, this time with Big Bass Hold & Spinner. Developed by Pragmatic Play in collaboration with Reel Kingdom, this slot keeps the fishing theme alive while introducing a fresh twist. If you’ve played previous entries in the series, you’ll find it’s a mix of familiar mechanics and new additions, like the Hold & Spinner feature. The visuals remain bright and cheerful, perfect for a slot that keeps things light.
The gameplay unfolds on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 fixed paylines, where you'll be casting your line for combinations of fishing-related symbols. While the basic gameplay focuses on landing standard wins, the real action kicks in with the bonus rounds, where Fish Money symbols potentially offer cash prizes and wilds help boost your winnings. There's definitely no deep-sea fishing here, just a tranquil lake or river scene with plenty of potential.
With the Big Bass series already featuring titles like Big Bass Splash and Big Bass Christmas Bash, Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom continue to build on a theme that has clearly struck a chord with the audience. Each release tweaks the formula just enough to keep things fresh, while still delivering the straightforward fun the series is known for.

The symbols in Big Bass Hold & Spinner reflect its fishing theme, with a mix of familiar fishing gear and card symbols. Here’s a breakdown of what each symbol offers:
Symbol | Payout (3, 4, 5 on a payline) |
10 | 0.4x, 2x, 10x |
J | 0.4x, 2x, 10x |
Q | 0.4x, 2x, 10x |
K | 0.4x, 5x, 20x |
A | 0.4x, 5x, 20x |
Fish | 2x, 10x, 40x |
Fishing Tackle Box | 4x, 20x, 100x |
Firefly | 4x, 20x, 100x |
Fishing Reel | 6x, 30x, 200x |
Float | 1x, 10x, 40x, 400x |
As you may have noticed, the highest paying symbol, the Float offers payouts for matching even two symbols on the grid. Apart from this, there are three other special symbols worth looking out for.
The first is the Fish Money Symbol, responsible for awarding cash prizes during the Free Spins bonus round. To activate this bonus, players will need to rely on another special symbol, the Scatter. Players need to collect three or more scatters to activate the Free Spins bonus.
Finally, a slot is scarcely anything without a wild, and in Big Bass Hold & Spinner it comes in the form of a Wild Fisherman. This symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and Fish Money, potentially helping form winning combinations.
Big Bass Hold & Spinner is no stranger to bonus features. You’ll find a complete list below.
The Free Spins feature is brought into play by getting 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols, which awards 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. During the Free Spins round, any wild fisherman that lands on the reels will collect the value of all Fish Money symbols in view. Additionally, wilds are collected in a meter above the reels, with every four wilds increasing the multiplier applied to future Fish Money collections — first to 2x, then 3x, and finally 10x. Each time you collect four wilds, you'll also get ten extra free spins, with the new multiplier in place.
One of the new features in this slot is the Hold & Spinner round, triggered by landing 3 Money symbols. These symbols can land with values ranging from 1x to 2,000x the bet. When activated, you'll receive four respins, and only Money symbols or blank spaces can appear. If a new Money symbol lands, its value is added to the total, and the respin count resets. The round continues until no new Money symbols appear, with all values awarded at the end.
During the Free Spins round, the Bazooka feature can randomly activate when a wild symbol lands without any Fish Money symbols present. A bazooka will blast onto the screen, adding Fish Money symbols to random positions, giving you another chance to potentially collect prizes.
As you've now learned, Big Bass Hold & Spinner is yet another fish in the sea for Pragmatic Play's fishing collection. Thus, we'd advise you try other similar slots from the BetVictor catalogue, such as Big Bass Day at the Races, Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass crash, Big Bass Amazon Xtreme.
