Big Bass Halloween: Slot Overview
The Big Bass Halloween slot replaces the light, playful setting of the original with a gloomier tone. Fish appear ragged and bloodied, royals are stitched like patches, and on winning spins, the hook symbol crackles with electricity while the basic icons split apart as if torn at the seams. A crow holds a dragonfly in its claws, turning a once-neutral detail into prey. The hooded fisherman appears in a misted frame, raising his gaff to complete the grim picture.
Graphics & Sound: Halloween Fishing Horrors
Controls follow the familiar layout: the spin button sits on the right with sound and info close by, bet size is adjusted with + and –, and on the left, the extra chance of scatters (ante bet) stands out in a red-and-black frame.
The sound is heavier too. Instead of a calm tune, there’s a tense hum; wins add a plaintive cry. In free spins, the music grows louder, mixed with rainfall and low rumbles. You can mute just the music, keep the effects, or switch everything off.
Volatility & RTP
The Big Bass Halloween RTP is 96.04%, and the volatility is medium-high, meaning wins may not come often but can still build to solid payouts. The maximum win is capped at x2,100 times the stake, with the round ending once this limit is reached.
How to Play Big Bass Halloween
The Big Bass Halloween demo play begins with adjusting the stake, from £0.10 to £250 per spin. After that, the reels are launched with the spin button, while an autoplay option is available in certain jurisdictions, along with quick and turbo modes for faster spins.

Big Bass Halloween: Slot Features
In the Big Bass demo Halloween, the familiar fishing mechanics take on a darker skin but keep the same structure of special symbols and bonus progression. Each symbol plays its role in unlocking or enhancing features, with fish values and retriggers driving most of the action.
- Scatter (rotting fish): Appears on all reels and triggers the bonus round. It doesn’t pay directly, but serves as the entry point to free spins.
- Wild (hooded fisherman): Active only in the bonus. Substitutes for all regular symbols and collects the values from money fish. Every set of four Wilds also advances the bonus to the next level, increasing the multiplier.
- Money Fish: In the base game, they behave like standard pay symbols, forming wins. In the bonus, they can also carry money values, collected by the wild. Possible values are x2, x5, x10, x15, x20, x25, x50, or a rare x2,000 the total bet.
Bonus Choice
The bonus round in Big Bass Halloween is triggered by scatters landing anywhere on the reels. The number of symbols determines how many free spins are awarded:
- 3 scatters — 10 free spins;
- 4 scatters — 15 free spins;
- 5 scatters — 20 free spins.
During this round, each wild collects all the money values from the fish. Every fourth wild adds 10 extra spins and increases the collection multiplier: x2 on the first transition, x3 on the second and up to x10 on the third. After the third restart, the function cannot be extended. If only one wild symbol appears at the end of the spin, additional money fish may appear in random positions.
Bonus Buy
The ante bet is the key difference from the original slot. In Big Bass Halloween, it raises the stake by 50% and adds extra scatters to the reels, increasing the chance of triggering the bonus naturally. Payouts remain unchanged — the higher cost only improves the odds of entering free spins. The bonus buy feature is not available in British legal online casinos.
Summary
Wins in this slot drop less often, and the bonus is slow to trigger, though the ante bet can shorten the wait by increasing the chance of scatters appearing. The real tension builds as the feature climbs through its levels, with multipliers rising and retriggers extending the round.
Visually, it feels sharper than the previous release, with stitched royals and electrified hooks adding weight to the theme. Trying the Big Bass Halloween free play shows how the theme reshapes familiar mechanics.
As part of the wider line, Big Bass Halloween 2 came later with random modifiers during free spins — more fish, extra wilds, dynamites and even a start from level two — alongside a higher win cap. Another branch of the series is Big Bass Bonanza Megaways, which swaps fixed lines for thousands of ways to win and builds tension with cascading reels.
