Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round’s only main feature is a free spins round with collect mechanics and rewarding multipliers.
The Fish Money symbols that land throughout the game come with prize values worth 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, or 5,000x your bet. You can only claim these prizes during Free Spins.
Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols to trigger 15, 20, or 25 free spins, respectively. If you land just 2 Scatters, the game can randomly give you a respin for a second chance at activating the feature.
During Free Spins, special blue and red boxer Wild symbols will collect any Money Symbols in view. Each Wild has a progress meter above and below the reels. For every 4 Wilds you land of each type, you will get another 10 free spins and an increased win multiplier that applies to all Money Symbol wins. The multiplier will be 2x after the first retrigger, 3x after the second, and 10x after the third.
If Money Symbols or Wilds land without the other being present on the reels, the game can randomly give you the missing symbols you need by landing a huge punch on the reels.
If you use the Ante Bet option, your bet will go up by 50% in exchange for increased chances of triggering Free Spins.
You can trigger Free Spins instantly in exchange for some of your bankroll. For 100x your bet, you can trigger regular Free Spins. If you pay 300x your bet, you will activate Super Free Spins, where you only need to collect 3 Wilds instead of 4 to advance the progress meters.
Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round has a top possible prize per spin of 5,000x your bet.
This slot’s RTP (Return to Player) of 96.5% is close to the industry average. RTP is the statistical, theoretical percentage of players’ bets that a slot should pay back over the long term. This slot’s high volatility means you’ll land wins less often on average, but your chances of getting big prizes in a short time are increased.
While this slot promises a mashup of two sports, the theme leans heavily towards the boxing side with an arena backdrop and a high-energy funk soundtrack. The boxers lay into each other with heavy punches during free spins, showing off someamusing animations.

Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round has a quirky theme and some serious winning potential, but it leans too heavily on a single feature. I love the idea behind this slot’s theme, although I would have liked a little more fishing with my boxing. The free spins round delivers on action with the thrill of filling the progress meters and building up valuable multipliers. Unfortunately, the base game can be a bit of a snooze-fest, especially with the high volatility gameplay that can test your patience between big wins.
