Action Bass - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Action Bass Slot Overview

One day, the word “bass” in a slot title may indicate the lowest vocal section in the choir, but not this day. We’re back in the world of fishing slots, which, since Big Bass Bonanza and Fishing Frenzy, rather seem to have taken over casinos. In the Action Bass slot from Games Global and SpinPlay, the 5 reels have 10 paylines, the free spins have instant win awards and increasing multipliers, and the pick game has jackpot prizes.

A Family Day Out

It’s a long day, from a clearly lit base game to the setting sun of the Action Bass bonus features, but it obviously means a lot to the fishing family: grandfather, father and daughter. They sit in a boat above the reels, floating on a lake that’s clear and blue on the surface, and a murkier green below. Trees and mountains are in the background, whilst on the reels are all the standard fishing slot symbols of rods, bait and fish, along with card ranks.

Action Bass RTP & Volatility

The RTP of the Action Bass slot is 96.64%. The volatility is medium-high.

How to Play Action Bass

Just like you would other Games Global slots:

1. You can’t predict whether you’ll catch fish or winning symbols. Set a responsible budget.


2. Find the poker chip to work through the bet options, starting at the 10p minimum.


3. Locate the menu so you can check out the rules, paytable and everything you need.


4. Head back to the main screen to hit spin.


5. When the reels stop, take stock. Are you within your limits? Are you still having fun? Only spin again if you say yes to both.


6. If you say no, take a timeout, maybe even activate self-exclusion to help with stopping.

Be sensible, stay in control.

How to Win at Action Bass

It’s not all about catching fish in the Action Bass slot. First, you need to look for base game winning symbols in the normal way. Unlike Break Da Bank Again, you need to find the right symbols to unlock the bonus round before seeing any wilds, whilst jackpots are found in the pick game.

Action Bass Gameplay Flow & Systems

A lot of the action in the Action Bass slot is during free spins, which you might think makes the base game slow. It’s true it can take a while to find the right number of bonus symbols, during which you’ll have to keep yourself entertained with semi-regular winning combinations. Free spins have momentum because of the retrigger and increasing multiplier mechanics, and variety because of the wilds and cash collect, whilst the pick game slows things down to your pace.

Action Bass Win Rules & Symbols

For symbols that aren’t scatters, fish or fisherman(girl) wilds, whether that’s the 5 low paying card ranks or 4 higher paying pieces of fishing equipment, there are 10 paylines available. Landing 3, 4 or 5 matches on 1 of those paylines, starting on the left, will award you a win. Some symbols also pay from 2 matches.

Action Bass Top Win

• Card symbols come with a uniform payout range, including 10x your bet for 5 matches.


• Top wins for fishing equipment go from 50x to 200x.


• A wild symbol, whether grandfather, father or daughter, also has a 200x multiplier when paying on its own, though it can also take on the value of regular symbols.


• Overall, the max win is x25,000.

Action Bass Bonuses

Many of the bonuses in the Action Bass slot, including cash collect and multipliers, are linked to the free spins round, but our Action Bass slot overview is also going to take a deeper dive into the pick game, where you have the opportunity to try and score a jackpot prize.

Free Spins

This depends on the bonus scatter symbol:

• 3 scatters = 10 spins.


• 4 scatters = 15 spins.


• 5 scatters = 20 spins.

During this feature, all fisherman characters don’t just act as wilds, but are also collector symbols, able to gather up all cash (fish) symbols in view and add their values to your balance. If there’re fish but no wild, it’s possible for a wild to be randomly added to the reels.

The 4th wild also triggers 10 extra spins and increases your multiplier. You can retrigger up to 3 times, boosting the multiplier to 2x, 3x, then 10x. After the first retrigger, the daughter wild may randomly multiply some fish values x2. After the second, the grandfather may turn random fish into jackpot prizes.

Pick Game

You can only trigger the pick game from base game spins with fish prizes. There are 12 fish symbols with hidden values. If you can choose 3 with matching jackpots, you’ll be awarded the corresponding jackpot prize. Mini, minor and major jackpots can also come with 2x, 3x or 5x multipliers.

• Mini: 10x.


• Minor: 20x.


• Major: 100x.


• Grand: 5000x.

Max-win 250,000x

Action Bass Overview - Summary

There’s no doubt that Action Bass takes inspiration from Big Bass Bonanza. The watery setting, the bearded fisherman, the bass themselves. It’s not just imagery. Cash collect is pretty much standard in the fishing genre, but wild collectors only being active during bonuses is also a Big Bass thing.

This all means you’re probably not going to call Action Bass entirely original, but the graphics are clean and pleasant and the gameplay smooth, with enough bonus variation to keep things interesting. It is a refreshing change to feature a whole family, including a girl, rather than just a grey-bearded fisherman.
