Big Bass Hold & Spinner Megaways

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 10 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameSix reels of unequal height, topped by a horizontal block of four cells above reels 2 to 5: on this capture only one of its three rows is unlocked — the round indicator to its right is lit green, the two below are dark — and it shows two landing-net WILDs and two diamonds. The MEGAWAYS counter at top right reads 972, exactly what the counted grid gives: four symbols on reel 1, two on each of reels 2 to 5 plus the top row, three on reel 6. On the left, two buys at different prices: BUY FREE SPINS at €200.00 and BUY HOLD & SPINNER at €240.00, against a €2.00 bet.
Game rules, page 1The paytable in euros at the €2.00 bet, with one column more than the payline Big Bass titles: every symbol is priced from six down to three of a kind. The float leads at €100.00 for six and alone pays from two, €2.00; the rod follows at €10.00, the dragonfly at €5.00, the tackle box at €4.00, the pile of fish at €3.00. The "Ways to win" block sets out the geometry: reels 1 and 6 up to 6 symbols, three extra rows above reels 2 to 5 of which the topmost holds only WILDs and blanks, locked or unlocked at random each spin — and a maximum of 147,456 ways to win, a figure specific to this game.
Game rules, page 2The page on the cascades — named TUMBLE FEATURE — and on the two symbols that exist only in this version. The FISH MONEY takes a value from 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 5000x total bet, eight steps only, and behaves differently depending on when it lands: it explodes and tumbles in the base game, it stays and simply falls during the free spins. The MYSTERY, a lantern, turns into one and the same paying symbol in the base game.
Free spinsThe free spins page, and the only one in the family with four steps: 10, 15, 20 or 25 spins for 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters — the sixth reel allows one more scatter. The multiplier also runs further than anywhere else: x2 on the first retrigger, x3 on the second, x10 on the third, then +x10 on every retrigger after that, "without any limit" in the panel's words. The fisherman appears on all reels during the feature, except on the topmost row.
Game rules, page 4The HOLD & SPIN and its two currencies. The gold coin covers the small values in tight steps — 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 11x, 12x, 14x, 16x, 18x, 20x, 22x, 25x, 30x total bet — and the diamond the big ones, 50x to 2000x in seven steps. The round starts on 3 respins, reset to 3 with each new coin, and the panel guarantees a minimum win of 20x total bet: if it is not reached when the respins run out, three more are awarded.
Max winThree blocks. MAX WIN gives 20,000x bet, the highest cap in the whole family. Then the two buys, and they do not cost the same: 100x total bet for the free spins — the €200.00 on the upper button — against 120x for the HOLD & SPIN, the €240.00 on the lower one. No ANTE BET block on this page: the Megaways version has none.
Game rulesThe badge under the title reads HIGH VOLATILITY — the only one in this batch not showing medium or low. No payline diagram here: the page speaks of "pay ways", and wins add up from one way to the next. Three RTP figures listed, all at 96.70%: theoretical, BUY FREE SPINS and BUY HOLD & SPIN. Bets run €0.20 to €240.00, a minimum twice as high as on the other Big Bass titles.
How to playThe controls page, icon by icon: the three-line settings menu, the chevron that cycles normal speed, quick spin and turbo spin, the speaker, the information i. It adds that the CREDIT and BET labels at the foot of the screen can be clicked to move from the coins view to the cash view. The panel runs to nine pages here, two more than on the payline Big Bass titles.
