Big Bass Floats My Boat is a February 2024 entry in the Big Bass series, released by Pragmatic Play and made with its partner studio Reel Kingdom. It plays on five reels, three rows and 10 paylines, and its twist is that fish money symbols can be collected in the base game too, not only in free spins. The maximum win is 5,000x stake.

How Big Bass Floats My Boat plays
Wins pay left to right across 10 fixed paylines, usually for three or more matching symbols, while the boat, the top symbol, also pays for two.
What sets this game apart from older Big Bass titles is the base game. Fish money symbols can land at any time with a cash value attached, and after a spin the fisherman may cast his net to collect them. Those base game fish can also pick up a random multiplier of up to 50x before they are paid.
- Fisherman wild: stands in for the regular paying symbols and collects fish values in the bonus.
Free spins and sticky position multipliers
Three, four or five scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. If only two scatters land, the game can step in: the scatters may drop down while the other reels respin, or the octopus may appear and turn a symbol into a third scatter.
In the round, every position on the grid starts with a 1x multiplier, and that multiplier rises by one each time a fish lands in that spot. The multipliers stay put for the whole round. When a fisherman wild lands, he collects every fish on screen, each multiplied by the value of its position.
Every fourth fisherman collected adds 10 more free spins. If a fisherman lands with no fish in view, the octopus can appear and turn symbols into fish so he has something to collect.
