Big Bite Slot Review 2024
Big Bite by Push Gaming once again dives into the heart of the ocean, continuing their homage to the aquatic themes that continue to captivate their audience.
Big Bite was designed with simplicity and player enjoyment in mind by offering straightforward, comfortable, and familiar mechanics to previous games. Razor Shark, Razor Returns, and Fish ‘n’ Nudge stand out as firm favourites to those with an affinity for the ocean, and Big Bite offers an alternative to those looking for something fresh, yet lower on the volatility scale.
Though slightly softer than others, Big Bite doesn’t sacrifice the excitement of big win potential. Will the more accessible Big Bite hold its own and swim in ferocious waters, or will it sink?
Big Bite Gameplay and Design
Given the popularity and success of Razor Returns and Fish ‘n’ Nudge, Big Bite expands on the underwater theme that players have come to love and enjoy. Push Gaming has created Big Bite with simple gameplay and mechanics, some of which are similar to Fish ‘n’ Nudge.
The creative geniuses at Push Gaming have pulled together a nifty underwater theme with new characters, topped off with an icy setting. Big Bite has a softer theme than Razor Returns, yet not as playful as Fish ‘n’ Nudge.
Big Bite is a 5-reel Video Slot that is playable from £.€0.10 per spin, up to a maximum bet of £.€100 per spin. There are a number of alternative betting options between the two, so all you have to do is find one that is suitable for you.
Big Bite – Slot Symbols and Their Values
Big Bite has 5 High-paying and 4 Low-paying symbols at your disposal, with each high-paying symbol relevant to the underwater theme. The highest-paying symbol awards wins of up to 200x your bet for a full 5-line win.
Low-paying symbols fall to Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and Clubs. Each of these symbols is fixed to award 0.5x, 2x, and 5x your bet for a 3, 4, and 5-line win.
Big Bite – Paylines and How to Get Them
Wins are created when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. In the base game, there are 10 active pay lines available, in a Horizontal and Diagonal line formation. However, in Free Spins, the number of pay lines increases to 20.
Big Bite RTP & Volatility – Hot or Not?
Big Bite has a theoretical RTP of 96.33%. This is a generous figure that is considered above average on the RTP scale. However, Big Bite also offers lower RTP values of 95.27% and 94.24%. When choosing to play Big Bite, be sure to check which RTP level your chosen Casino has opted for.
Big Bite has taken us by surprise in terms of Volatility, which is set as Low-Medium. Big Bite is similar thematically and mechanically to slots like Razor Returns, though the volatility is nowhere near as high.
Lower and Medium volatility slots still have the potential to pay large amounts, but wins are usually more frequent and lower in such slots. In addition to this, Big Bite is also equipped with a max win cap of 10,000x.
Big Bite Special Features
In this section of the review, we will be looking into the Fish, Orca, and Jackpot symbols, as well as the Push Bet and Bonus Buy options.
Fish Symbols
Fish symbols are Instant Prize symbols that appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. When they appear, they reveal a prize value between 1x and 1,000x your bet.
Jackpot Symbols
In addition to fish symbols, special Jackpot symbols can also land across reels 2, 3, and 4, revealing a Jackpot Prize seen above the main reel set.
- Mini – 15x your bet.
- Minor – 75x your bet.
- Major – 350x your bet.
- Mega – 1,500x your bet.
- Grand – 10,000x your bet.
Orca Symbol
The Orca symbol is a special Collector symbol that appears on reels 1 and 5. Without this symbol present, the Fish and Jackpot symbols are worthless.
When an Orca symbol lands alongside Fish and/or Jackpot symbols, they will be collected (except the Grand Jackpot). If an Orca symbol appears with a Multiplier between x1 and x10, it will be automatically applied to any values it collects.
If an Orca appears at the same time as a Grand Jackpot symbol, the max win of 10,000x is instantly awarded. In addition, 2 Orca symbols can land at the same time. When this happens, each Orca will collect fish and jackpot symbols, as well as each other’s values, multiplied by their multiplier (if applicable).
Push Bet
Before or after any game round, you can participate in the Push Bet feature for an additional 20% of your current bet. Once active, your chances of triggering the Free Spins round are naturally higher. (RTP 96.40%)
Bonus Buy
Those outside the UK will benefit from 4 Bonus Buy options.
- 3 Scatter trigger with 10 Free Spins and a x1 Orca Multiplier for 44x your bet.
- 4 Scatter trigger with 10 Free Spins and a x3 Orca Multiplier for 95x your bet.
- 5 Scatter trigger with 10 Free Spins and a x10 Multiplier for 217x your bet.
- Random (3-5 Scatters) – 77x your bet.
Online Slots UK are devoid of such options, but all of the aforementioned features are still available to players through regular gameplay.
Big Bite Bonus Rounds & Free Spins
Big Bite has a singular Free Spins round, triggered when 3 or more Scatters land during the base game. The Free Spins round begins with 10 Free Spins and a grid size of 5×5.
During this round, each Orca symbol that appears will be collected in a special Multiplier Meter next to the reel set. When the next level is reached, additional Free Spins and a new Orca Multiplier are unlocked.
- Level 1 – Awards 5 Free Spins and a x2 Multiplier.
- Level 2 – Awards 5 Free Spins and a x3 Multiplier.
- Level 3 – Awards 5 Free Spins and a x5 Multiplier.
- Level 4 – Awards 5 Free Spins and a x10 Multiplier.
The Orca Multiplier will multiply all instant prize values that appear on the Fish and Jackpot symbols, except the Grand Jackpot.

- Big Bass Bonanza (Reel Kingdom)
Conclusion
Big Bite is a refreshing dive into the beloved underwater slot theme, gracefully balancing proven simplistic gameplay with engaging mechanics and big potential. As expected, Big Bite has that unmistakable mark of Push Gaming quality with distinguishing artistry, and brilliant aesthetics all around.
If you’re lucky enough and you get Big Bite at the 96.33% RTP variant then you’ll be playing with an above-industry average, considering many are unfortunately making the switch to lower values. Big Bite does have 95.27% and 94.24% variants, but you’re at the mercy of your choice casino and country here. If you’re in Germany then probably give up slots altogether because the RTPs for this market is 90.37% and 88.43%.
The game’s Low-Medium volatility is a pleasant surprise, providing a gentler yet still rewarding gaming experience, especially compared to the more intense volatility of slots like Razor Returns, and for a ‘low’ volatility game the 10,000x win cap seems very fair.
Push Gaming has also introduced their Action Replay feature, which lets you view your previous wins and share them, similar to the Nolimit City replay feature. Not a game-specific feature, but it debuts with Big Bite.
In conclusion, Big Bite is a must-try for fans of underwater slots, and it’s definitely a must-try if you’re a fan of Push Gaming’s creative genius thus far.
