All About the Bass 2: Froggy Style

All About the Bass 2: Froggy Style Slot Review

Two cartoon frogs in tiny sunglasses watch a sunset bass lake from the bank, dock timbers framing the reels, fish drifting through the murky green below the waterline. Crazy Tooth Studio‘s All About the Bass 2: Froggy Style keeps almost none of its money on the reels: the line wins are small change, and the real game happens under the surface, in a stock of prize fish that grows every time one gets caught.

It runs on a 5×3 grid with 21 paylines, at 96.09% RTP and high volatility, with stakes from 0.25 to 20.00 a spin. It shares its pond with the studio’s 777 Smash, Lucky Clucks and Rhino Rilla Rex. Whether the lake is worth casting into is what follows.

Base Game & Features

Wins need three or more matching symbols on a payline, on adjacent reels from the leftmost, and only the highest combination per line pays. Your bet multiplier is your stake divided by 0.25, so a 0.50 spin carries a multiplier of two, and credit awards scale with it.

The paytable, as multiples of your stake, sits in two tiers:

• Angler characters (the fisherman in red plaid, the fisherman with the net, the purple tackle character and the green angler): three pays 0.16x, four pays 0.32x, five pays 80x your stake
• Tackle box and fishing hat: three pays 0.08x, four pays 0.16x, five pays 0.40x your stake

Four characters share the top tier and two items fill the lower one, and a full line of anglers is the biggest fixed prize the reels offer. Everything above that comes from the feature layer, which is where this game does its fishing.

The wild substitutes for all paying symbols, and it comes armed: 2X wild multipliers land on reels one, three and five and double any win they join, while 3X versions on reels two and four triple it. Scatters, boats, hooks, bugs and the passive symbol don’t pay at all, which tells you where this game keeps its money.

All About The Bass Feature

Land a boat symbol directly above a hook symbol and the feature pays the fish prize sitting underneath that hook. The fish run from small up through medium, large and mega, plus a special fish carrying a multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x. A special fish multiplies another fish prize by its value and awards the result, and each time it slides under the next reel along the bottom, its multiplier increases.

An INSTANT BONUS fish skips the middleman and triggers All About The Bonus outright. If a 2X or 3X wild multiplier lands on the reel above an awarded fish, the prize is multiplied again. Every prize that gets paid is repopulated at the same value or higher, and the fish can move on any base game spin.

Froggy Style Feature

Bugs don’t pay, but they’re not decoration. On any spin with bug symbols landed, the Froggy Style feature can trigger at random: a Feature Frog is selected, and every landed bug transforms into the symbol that frog corresponds to. The frogs can move between spins, so the transformation you get isn’t fixed.

Crocodile Feature

The crocodile needs no invitation. It can trigger at random on any spin, eats between two and five of the fish prizes currently available, and pays them all out. Each eaten prize is repopulated at the same value or higher, keeping the lake stocked.

All About The Bass 2: Froggy Style Bonus & Free Spins

Three scatter symbols anywhere on the gameboard award All About The Bonus, and it’s the main event. Five bonus spins are dealt, and the gameboard fills with credit values and special bonus symbols rather than regular reels.

On each bonus spin, one or more multipliers land on the gameboard, and each multiplier activates the credit value or special symbol it lands on. An activated credit value is multiplied by the multiplier that woke it. The special symbols do the heavy lifting:

• Retrigger – adds bonus spins equal to the activating multiplier, then becomes a credit value equal to the minimum initial credit value
• Credit boost – raises every activated credit value on the board by the boost value times the activating multiplier
• Row – activates the rest of its row with the activating multiplier
• Column – activates the rest of its column with the activating multiplier
• Orthogonal – activates the positions directly left, right, above and below it
• Bull Frog – activates all eight surrounding positions
• Tree Frog – activates three to six random positions

The spread matters. A row or column activation sweeps a single line, an orthogonal reaches its four neighbours, and a bull frog covers all eight positions around itself, so where a special symbol sits when its multiplier arrives changes what it’s worth. A tree frog is the wildcard, touching three to six positions chosen at random.

Each special symbol can only be activated once per landed multiplier, and every position is limited to a maximum credit value no matter how much multiplication piles onto it. When the final spin plays out, all activated credit values are awarded at once, and bonus wins are added to regular wins. The stated win-up-to values come from a whole bonus session’s cumulative winnings, not a single spin.

Bonus Buy

Two purchase buttons sit in the interface: the Instant Bonus at 75.00 and the Super Bonus at 150.00. Each carries its own return figure, at 96.33% for the Instant buy and 96.49% for the Super, against the base game’s 96.09%.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.8/10

Playing this is sitting by a lake where almost nothing happens on the reels and everything happens under them. The one reason to pick it is that fish-prize stock: every catch is replaced at the same value or higher, so a session isn’t repeated pulls on the same lever but a lake that keeps getting better stocked while the frogs and the crocodile keep the water churning.

The best thing here is the bonus board, and it’s good for a reason: seven different special symbols means every spin of it plays out differently, and a bull frog landing in a busy patch of the board changes the round completely. The worst thing is that the base paytable never pulls its weight, and with no maximum win figure printed anywhere, there’s no fixed summit to chase either.

It’s for people who like watching a prize pool accumulate and don’t need big line wins to keep them interested; anyone hunting headline multipliers will find this lake too quiet. For everyone else, the water’s warm and the fish keep growing.
