Arthurian legend collides with Pragmatic Play's long-running fishing series in Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake, which keeps the familiar fisherman and his tackle while dressing the scene in castle turrets and lake-side gold.

Five reels and three rows carry 10 paylines, with stakes from 0.20 to 250 per spin and an ante wager that adds 50% to the bet for a better shot at scatters. The paytable's lower half is filled by 10 through A royals, while a tackle box, a dragonfly, a fishing reel and a float make up the higher-value symbols, paying 5x to 10x and 20x to 200x respectively for five in a row. As in the rest of the series, the fisherman wild only appears once free spins begin, substituting for every regular symbol.

Fish swim onto the reels carrying random cash values worth 2x to 5,000x the stake and can line up for wins worth as much as 20x the stake unassisted, but the big values only pay out once collected during the bonus. Three, four or five scatters are behind the base game's free spins, worth 10, 15 and 20 spins in turn, and landing two scatters gives a chance for a third to be pulled into view by a respin. Before the round starts, a card pick decides whether the standard free spins or the Golden Lake variant plays out. In the standard version, the fisherman scoops up every visible fish value when he lands, and is himself tracked as he's collected — every fourth one adds ten more spins and lifts the fish multiplier to x2, x3 or x10 across three further levels, after which the retriggers stop. The Golden Lake version strips every regular symbol from the reels, leaving only blanks, fish and fisherman symbols in play, but runs the same collection-and-retrigger system underneath.

A few self-correcting touches keep both bonus rounds moving: fish can appear from nowhere at the end of a spin if fishermen are present without them, a hook can drag a fisherman into view if fish are on screen but no collector is, and stray symbols can be swapped out entirely if a fisherman lands with no fish anywhere on the grid.

High volatility and a roughly one-in-seven hit rate sit alongside a 5,000x maximum win and a default 96.07% RTP, with 95.07% and 94.07% configurations also offered. The bonus can be bought outright too — 100x the stake for a random pick between the two free spins modes, or 270x for a guaranteed run at the Golden Lake version.
