Big Bass Day at Races (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

The Big Bass Day at the Races Slot Game

I came to Big Bass Day at the Races expecting rods and reels, but it’s a day off at the track. The bearded chap swaps fish for horses on a 5-reel, 3-row, 10 payline grid. Default RTP sits at 96.07% with a high volatility profile, and stakes run from 10p to £250. Ante Bet increases the stake by 50% for a higher chance of the feature, trimming RTP to 96.06%. Line wins matter, yet the real action revolves around Money symbols and the Man Wild in free spins.

Symbols and Payouts in Big Bass Day at the Races

The high-win set sticks to race day kit: binoculars, a pint of beer, a suitcase, and a champagne bucket. Payouts for five of a kind are 50x for binoculars or beer, 100x for the suitcase, and 200x for champagne, which also pays 0.5x, 5x, 20x for 2, 3, or 4. Card ranks 10 to A pay 0.2x to 10x for five. Scatters trigger the bonus, while the Man Wild substitutes in the feature to help complete or improve line wins.

Horses serve as Money symbols, turning up with cash values from 0.2x to 1,000x the bet. At random during the base game, all Money symbols on screen can be collected and awarded. When that happens, a random multiplier between x1 and x50 may be applied to the sum. In the bonus, any Man Wild that lands collects the horse values in view, and those collections can later be multiplied as you climb the trail.

Big Bass Day at the Races Slot Bonus Features

Three or more scatters award 10 free spins in Big Bass Day at the Races. If you trigger with 4 or 5 scatters, one or two picks from the pre-pick game are revealed before the round. If exactly two scatters land in the base, a lasso or a respin can pull a third into view. Before the round starts, you pick horse names to reveal modifiers like More Free Spins, Fixed Horse, Already Collected Man Wilds, or Remove Lowest Horse, which takes out the 2x then 5x Money values.

During free spins, every Man Wild that lands is collected. Each fourth Man Wild awards +10 free spins and upgrades the Money collection multiplier: x2, then x3, x10, x20, x30, x40, and x50 across subsequent retriggers, capped at the eighth level. This trail mirrors the familiar series flow, but the racetrack skin and pick modifiers keep things lively, especially when fixed horses guarantee cash symbols on every spin when you find them in the picks.

Random events can step in during the feature. If Man Wilds land with no Money symbols, horses may gallop onto the reels. If Money symbols land without a collector, a lasso can drag the Man Wild into view. A Stampede animation can also transform symbols around a landed Man Wild. A lasso may even pull reels up to tug Man Wild and Money symbols onto the screen. For direct access where available, the bonus buy costs 100x the bet and keeps the RTP at 96.07%.

How to Win at Big Bass Day at the Races Slot

I keep it simple on Big Bass Day at the Races. I set my stake within the 10p to £250 range, spin on the 10 fixed paylines, and aim for three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel. The goal in the bonus is pairing Man Wilds with horses, while building towards every fourth collector for extra spins and a higher multiplier. When I’m chasing features, I sometimes toggle Ante Bet, as the base hit rate for free spins averages around 1 in 148 spins.

Big Bass Day at the Races Slot RTP & Volatility

The default RTP is 96.07%, with alternative configurations at 95.08% and 94.05% depending on the operator. Ante Bet trims RTP to 96.06%. Volatility is rated high at 5 out of 5, so stretches of quiet play can flip when the right mix of horses and Man Wilds show up. The max win is 10,000x the stake, and the base game can randomly collect visible Money symbols with a potential x1 to x50 multiplier applied to the total.

Stats-minded players will care about frequency. The overall hit rate is about 11.76%, the bonus triggers roughly once every 148 spins, and a 1,000x outcome appears at around 1 in 28,445 spins in the published model. The hard cap of 10,000x has a stated rate near 1 in 14,321,518 spins, which fits the swingy profile. I plan my staking accordingly and treat Ante Bet as a nudge rather than a guarantee. I budget for swings.

The Final Thoughts on Big Bass Day at the Races

Big Bass Day at the Races is a reskin, no question, lifting the framework fans know and love and swapping lakeside quiet for horseracing bustle. I’m fine with that when the flow holds up. The pre-pick modifiers add a touch of agency, and letting the random money collect fire in the base keeps me engaged between bonuses. It feels like a palette cleanser for the series, with numbers that still matter.

The positives are clear. Cash horse values reach 1,000x, random collects can apply up to x50, and the retrigger ladder tops out at a thumping x50. Ten paylines keep line maths readable, and the Man Wild’s dual role as substitute and collector delivers those satisfying swing moments in free spins. I like that fixed horses can guarantee action on every spin when you find them in the picks. That combo keeps the bonus from stalling.

There are caveats. RTP ranges mean you should check the version, and the Ante Bet uplift is not spelled out beyond costing 50% more. If you’ve played that earlier release, the déjà vu is strong. Still, the 10,000x ceiling and the crowd-pleasing feature set carry it. When I fancy a trackside punt with Big Bass flavour, this is a session I’m happy to load. I can take the reskin when the ride pays.
