Wild Wild Bass 3

Stakelogic's third fishing outing, Wild Wild Bass 3, plays out on a sunny stretch of open water with a bright, cartoon-leaning look. The grid has six reels with 3-3-4-4-4-4 positions, which gives 2,304 ways to win in the base layout and 5,625 once a feature stretches the reels.

The mathematical profile is high volatility with a default RTP of 96.04%, and the top prize is 10,000x the stake. Bets run from 0.10 to 200 per spin, and the release date on record is 23 November 2023. Operators can run lower return settings, so the figure a particular site shows may differ.

Paytable values are modest at the bottom. Cards from nine up to ace pay between 1x and 2x the bet for six of a kind, while the fishing gear and wildlife symbols (tackle boxes, rings, floats, birds and rods) return 2.5x to 15x for a full six-symbol way. The fisherman wild shows up on the first two reels only, stands in for the regular pay symbols and is also what sets most features in motion.

Big Catch starts when wilds land on both of reels 1 and 2. Reels 3 to 6 each gain a row, lifting the ways count to 5,625, and every Bass money symbol visible is collected. Those Bass symbols carry cash values and appear on reels 3 to 6 alone.

Insane Catch can begin in two ways: an Insane Catch symbol arriving during Big Catch, or two wilds together with that symbol on reel 6. It hands out 2, 3 or 5 spins. Reels 1 and 2 merge into one multiplier reel showing anything from x1 to x10, while reels 3 to 6 turn into 20 separate positions that can hold only Bass symbols, Insane Catch symbols or blanks. The grid is wiped at the start of each spin, Bass values are paid with the multiplier applied, and fresh Insane Catch symbols add spins. Mystery symbols can also drop in, revealing x2, x3, x4 or x5 that multiplies Bass values before the reel multiplier is added on top.

Free spins use a scatter that appears on reel 6. Two wilds plus the scatter award 10 spins. Wilds that land are collected during the round, and each set of six raises the win multiplier by one; that multiplier is applied to the total win only when the round ends. The same combination during the round adds 5 more spins.

A bonus buy menu sells entry to all three bonuses: free spins cost 100x the bet, Big Catch 50x and Insane Catch 100x.
