Play Action Bass

Action Bass by SpinPlay takes a family fishing trip and turns it into a five-reel slot centred on Fish Prize symbols, three Fisherman Wilds and four jackpot levels. The regular game uses 10 paylines, while the more involved mechanics arrive through Bonus Spins and the separate Pick Feature. 

There’s a clear progression once Bonus Spins begin. Father, Daughter and Grandfather Wilds become available at different stages, and collecting enough Wilds adds more spins while raising the multiplier. It gives us something different to follow among online slots, especially once the later stages of the feature are reached. 

A forest lake fills the screen, with the reels sitting beneath the surface while the fishing family waits in a boat above them. Father, Daughter and Grandfather each have their own character design, which matters beyond the artwork because all three later appear as Wild symbols. 

Fishing gear makes up the higher-paying regular symbols, including a fishing rod, tackle box, lure and float. The Fish Prize symbols appear as several different fish designs and can display prize values, while some carry MINI, MINOR or MAJOR jackpot labels. 

The presentation leaves most of the screen open around the reels, while they float in a calm lake setting. 

The values below are based on a 1x total bet and show the regular paying symbols. 

Fish Prize symbols have their own regular payouts of 1x for three, 5x for four and 20x for five. Their more important role comes from the values displayed on them, which are used by the collection mechanics. 

Father, Daughter and Grandfather are the Wild symbols. They substitute for every symbol apart from the Bonus and are only available during Bonus Spins.  

Bonus Spins 

Three, four or five Bonus symbols award 10, 15 or 20 Bonus Spins. During the feature, Fisherman Wilds collect the values shown on all Fish Prize symbols on screen, while every Wild that lands also counts towards the retrigger total. Every fourth Wild adds 10 Bonus Spins and increases the multiplier: the first retrigger uses 2x, the second 3x and the third 10x, with no further retriggers after that. 

After a spin containing Fish Prize symbols but no Wild, a Wild may be randomly added to the reels. If a Wild is already present, extra Fish Prize symbols may appear instead. Daughter Wilds become available during additional spins after the first retrigger and can randomly double Fish Prize values, while Grandfather Wilds can appear during additional spins after two retriggers and can randomly turn Fish Prize values into jackpot prizes.  

Pick Feature 

At the end of a base-game spin, collecting Fish Prize symbols can randomly trigger the Pick Feature. This feature doesn't occur during Bonus Spins. 

Here we select icons until three matching jackpot symbols are revealed. The available prizes are MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and MEGA. If one of the three matching MINI, MINOR or MAJOR icons carries a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier, that multiplier is applied to the corresponding jackpot. 

Action Bass uses five reels, three rows and 10 paylines. Line wins start on the leftmost reel and continue from left to right across adjacent reels. Only the highest win is paid on each line, while wins occurring across separate paylines are added together. 

Fish Prize symbols can appear during the base game, where they contribute regular symbol wins, carry separate prize values and can be involved in triggering the Pick Feature. 

Bonus Spins change that structure because the Fisherman Wilds begin collecting Fish Prize values. The same bet and paylines used on the triggering spin remain in place throughout the feature. 

• Bucket of Bonus Bass is another fishing-themed slot from the Smooth Spins selection, centred on catching bass and bonus features.  
• Fish Tales Monster Bass keeps the fishing setting but shifts the focus towards a much larger catch and a monster-bass theme. 
• Big Bass Blast is another bass-themed choice at Smooth Spins, using fishing imagery within its own slot format. 

Action Bass saves most of its more complicated ideas for Bonus Spins, while the base game sticks to a familiar 5x3 payline layout. That split works well because the regular spins don't require much explanation, but reaching the feature introduces several stages rather than one fixed set of Bonus Spins. 

Having Father, Daughter and Grandfather enter at different stages makes the later Bonus Spins quite different from the opening ones. Father starts the collection mechanic, Daughter can enter after the first retrigger and Grandfather becomes available later, with the multiplier eventually reaching 10x after the third retrigger. 

There is quite a lot to track at that point, particularly with extra fish, random Wild additions and the different character effects.
