Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe Slot Review
Reel Kingdom is back with another addition to their lucrative Big Bass series, in Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe!
Everyone’s favourite Fisherman is heading into Sin City to play alongside high-rollers in Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe, swapping out his fishing gear for poker chips and fruities.
Neon lights pave the way towards big wins and high-valued Fish symbols, with the iconic Fisherman serving as a Collecting Wild symbol on the reels.
Little time has passed since we dived into a secret underwater mission in Big Bass Mission Fishin‘, now Reel Kingdom is taking us back to the surface for a night out on the Strip, but what differences, if any, can we expect this time around, besides a tongue-twister for a title? Let’s play on and find out!
Base Game & Features
Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe is a standard 5-reel, 3-row Video Slot with 10 active pay lines. Players can choose between bet sizes of £.€0.10 per spin and £.€250 per spin.
This game operates 10 symbols, with the highest-paying producing wins of 200x your bet for a 5-line winning combination. Fish symbols are special money symbols that land with a predefined value between 2x and 5,000x your bet. These symbols cannot be collected in the base game.
Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe has a theoretical RTP of 96.5%, a High Volatility rating, and a max win cap of 5,000x your bet. Lower RTP modules include 95.5% and 94.5%.
Scatters
Whenever 2 Scatter symbols land in the base game, there is a chance for a 3rd to be brought into view by one of the following features:
- The 2 Scatter symbols present can move down one position without leaving the reels, triggering a Respin.
- A special Hook animation can pull one of the reels up to reveal another Scatter.
Ante Bet
You can access the Ante Bet Feature for an additional 50% of your current bet. Once active, your chances of triggering Free Spins are naturally higher.
Bonus Buy
Players can purchase 1 of 2 Free Spins modes from the following options:
- Free Spins: 100x your bet
- Super Free Spins: Guarantees at least 4 Scatters with only 3 Fisherman Wilds needed to retrigger the feature. (300x your bet)
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 10, 15, and 20 Free Spins respectively.
Fisherman Wilds can land in this round, replacing regular symbols and collecting Fish values. Unlike any other Big Bass title, this version offers 2 types of Fisherman Wilds; Blue and Red. Each colour is collected separately and stored on their corresponding Meters.
For every 4 Fisherman, either Red or Blue, an additional +10 Free Spins and Multiplier is awarded. The Multiplier is applied to all Fish symbols collected during this round.
The Free Spins round can be retriggered up to 3 times, awarding a Multiplier value of x2, x3, and x10 for 1, 2, and 3 retriggers respectively. The Free Spins round is also home to 3 special features:
Bazooka
This feature transforms certain symbols, except Fisherman Wilds, into Money symbols on the reels.
Dynamite
If a Fisherman Wild appears without Money symbols, a Dynamite animation will cause money symbols to appear anywhere on the reels.
Hook
If Money symbols appear without a Fisherman Wild, a Hook will cause Fisherman Wilds to appear in view.

Conclusion
Even as huge fans of the Big Bass series, we find ourselves struggling to get excited for the next big release. This comes down to Reel Kingdom sticking to the same recycled features for the entire series…so far.
After many repetitive Big Bass titles, Reel Kingdom threw in a wild card with Big Bass Amazon Xtreme, giving players hope for the ongoing series. Since then, the constant switch-up of themes and additional features has sparked a growing interest with a wider audience.
While the concept of having 2 types of Fisherman Wilds is great, it could just mean there’s double the chance of being tilted. It’s no secret that the Big Bass series has a habit of instantly deleting Fisherman Wilds in Free Spins, but does this new improvement give us a fighting chance?
It wouldn’t be a Vegas-inspired slot without something big, and it comes in the form of a Super Free Spins round. With the help of 2 Fisherman friends, it doesn’t feel impossible to reach the next retrigger, although you can still expect a fair few dead spins along the way.
Thanks to the extra Fisherman Wild, you can receive double the amount of spins through retriggers. This means it will take double the time for them to play out, so feel free to watch an entire 7-season box set or go abroad for a week…they will still be going strong when you return.
All in all, Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe is certainly one of the better offerings of the series, yet it still feels like something is missing. Will we find it in the next Big Bass release?
