Fishing Fever Bass King Slot Review
A still lake ringed by pines at first light, a hazy ridge behind it, and a set of reels standing right in the water on a varnished timber frame that looks borrowed from a tackle box. Fishing Fever Bass King does its bass-fishing country beautifully, but the scenery is the least interesting thing about it: this is a game that quietly outsources almost everything to one reel. Lures, Jackpots and three different Collect symbols all hang on reel five, and what lands there decides whether a spin is worth anything at all.
It’s an Aurum Signature Studios build, a studio whose back catalogue on this site runs from A Tale of Elves to Dawn of the Vikings Power Combo. The maths is a 5×5 grid over 40 fixed paylines, 96.00% RTP, and volatility marked Very High, with a top feature award of 5,000x the total bet. Wagers open at 0.20 and top out at 50.00.
Base Game & Features
Five reels, five rows, and 40 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right from the first reel, and where more than one combination lands on a line, only the highest is awarded. A spin’s total is the sum of its payline wins and its Collect wins together. It’s a conventional enough chassis for what sits on top of it.
The bet works in two layers. Each spin costs a total bet, and that total is the initial bet multiplied by the cost of the paylines played. Payline payouts are based on the initial bet rather than the total, which is worth remembering when you’re sizing up what a line win is actually worth against a Collect award. The paytable display updates with the current bet, so the figures you see reflect what you’re staking.
Symbols
What sits on top of the chassis is the lure system. Golden Lure symbols land on reels one to four carrying values between 1x and 25x the total bet, and they do nothing on their own. They’re waiting for a Collect symbol on reel five, which scoops the lot.
The wild substitutes for other symbols to complete winning combinations, and it draws a hard line at the special ones. It won’t stand in for any of these:
- Scatters
- Golden Lures
- Jackpots
- Collects
- Multiplier Collects
- Respin Collects
The Scatter appears on reels one, three and five only, and pays nothing itself – its entire job is triggering Free Spins. A small curiosity for completists: the paytable tracks achievements as you play, permanently highlighting winning symbol combinations you’ve landed, though wins completed by a wild substitution aren’t logged.
The Three Collects
There are three Collect variants, and any of them can arrive in the base game or in Free Spins:
- Collect – awards the total value of all Golden Lures on screen
- Multiplier Collect – awards the Golden Lure total multiplied by a random multiplier of up to 5x, shown on the Collect symbol
- Respin Collect – clears all regular symbols from the reels for one respin, then awards the Golden Lure total at the end of it
The Respin plays out in a strict order: the board clears, the respin runs, and the Lure values shown at the end of it are what get paid. Lures that were already on screen when the Collect landed don’t survive into the total – it’s the final layout that counts. New Lures that drift in during the respin are collected along with whatever holds over.
One edge case worth knowing: if a Jackpot symbol and a Multiplier Collect land together, the Jackpot prize is paid flat and isn’t multiplied. Autoplay, meanwhile, is a base game convenience only – it stops the moment a Big Win lands, and it isn’t available once a feature is running. Autoplay sessions can also be set to end at a win or loss limit if you’d rather not babysit them.
Fishing Fever Bass King Free Spins & Jackpots
Free Spins
Three Scatter symbols on reels one, three and five trigger 8 free spins. The round plays out automatically at the same lines and bet as the triggering spin, wins are added to base game wins, and it can retrigger – land the three Scatters again mid-round and another eight spins join the tally. The draw is density: more Golden Lure and Collect symbols are added to the reels for the duration, so the Collect feature fires more often while it runs.
That density is the whole argument for the round. The base game’s Collects can only work with whatever Lures happen to drift in; Free Spins stacks the water with them, and a Respin or Multiplier Collect during the feature works on a fuller board than the base game will usually give you.
Fishing Fever Jackpot Game
A Jackpot symbol on reels one to four paired with any Collect symbol on reel five opens the Fishing Fever Jackpot game. It can trigger from the base game or from Free Spins, and if both features trigger on the same spin, the Jackpot game plays out first. It’s a picking round: keep picking until three matching symbols appear, and three matching picks award the corresponding jackpot prize.
The feature pays between 50x and 5,000x the total bet, with wins multiplied by the total stake rather than the line bet. The ladder is displayed in credits, quoted at a 2.00 bet:
- Mini – 100.00 credits at a 2.00 bet
- Minor – 200.00 credits
- Major – 1,000.00 credits
- Grand – 10,000.00 credits, the full 5,000x ceiling
Because those credit figures scale with the stake, they’re best read as steps on a ladder rather than fixed prizes – the Grand is the only rung that reaches the game’s stated ceiling, and the gaps between rungs widen as you climb.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
Playing this is mostly watching a calm lake and waiting for reel five to stop – and, unusually, that’s a decent way to spend a session, because the waiting is where the personality lives. The reason to pick it over plainer Collect games is the Free Spins round, which thickens the water with Lures until reel five starts paying like it means it.
Its best idea is the Respin Collect: clearing the board for one more roll turns a small bank into a proper one, and it’s the variant that makes the whole system worth building. The weakness is the ladder. Everything above the Major rung is a long way up, so most Jackpot game visits end closer to 50x than 5,000x, in a game that’s already rated Very High.
It suits players who enjoy the patient, cast-and-reel rhythm of a Collect build with a jackpot at the end of the line, and who won’t begrudge the quiet spells between. Those after steady line wins are fishing in the wrong lake – this one’s for anglers who don’t mind sitting still for the big catch.
