Fishing Fever Bass King Slot by Aurum Signature Studios Free Demo and Review

Fishing Fever Bass King Review

The fishing slot genre is popular as ever, but the genre has been somewhat saturated lately, with all sorts of Big Bass Bonanza installments and copycat jobs. This hasn’t stopped Aurum Signature Studios from taking a stab at it with an installment called Fishing Fever Bass King. You get to go on a fishing expedition with Jimmy, Cody, Steven, and Richard, who may come across as a bit too friendly, at least that was our impression.

The setting is idyllic enough though, with trees in the mountain side being reflected in the calm lake. The stage is set for some big catches in other words, and they come in the form of golden lure prizes being collected by 3 different collect symbols. They can multiply the total win, or add extra prize symbols via a respin, and a jackpot feature can also be collected. You get more of everything in the bonus round, and the grand jackpot and overall max win is 5,000x your stake.

Fishing Fever Bass King Slot Features

The premium character symbols pay between 5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you also get Wild symbols that step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve wins.

The Instant Collect feature triggers when you land Golden Lure symbols on reels 1 to 4, and these are collected as long as you also land 1 of 3 possible Collect symbols on reel 5. The Golden Lure comes with prize values between 1 and 25 x your stake, and below is an overview of how the 3 Collect symbols work:

• Collect – simply collects and awards the prize values of all Golden Lures in sight.
• Multiplier Collect – boosts the collected Golden Lure prizes by up to x5.
• Respin Collect – triggers a respin to possibly land more Golden Lure prizes to be collected.

You trigger the Fishing Fever Jackpot feature when you land a Jackpot symbol on reels 1 to 4, as well as any of the 3 Collect symbols on reel 5. It’s basically a pick game where you’ll pick Lure symbols one by one, and these reveal 1 of 4 jackpots. You win the corresponding jackpot when 3 symbols have been matched. The Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots are worth 50x, 100x, 500x, or 5,000x your stake, respectively.

The Bonus Round triggers from 3 scatters in view, and this gives you 8 free spins for starters. The bonus round can be retriggered in the same way, and it plays out similarly to the base game. The big difference is that you get more golden lure, jackpot, and collect symbols during the feature, which increases your likelihood of triggering the instant collect and jackpot collect features.

You get a decent, but mostly uneventful, taste of the base game, before we trigger the free spins round at 0:40 into the 2:20-minute highlights video. You get to see the extra symbols being added to the reels strips up front, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We enjoy a cozy fishing expedition as much as any player, but there was something about the characters in this game that put us off from the get-go. Their weird, over-friendly smiles came across as creepy more than anything, and we felt like they invited us along with some sinister ulterior motive like, say, a secret plan to drown us in the lake. The visuals are decent outside of that though, but a fishing slot shouldn’t really unintentionally come across as a horror slot.

The instant collect feature comes with a few extra Collect symbols, and especially the multiplier collector can make a dent on occasions. The jackpot pick game is probably your best shot when it comes to cracking the 5,000x potential, and the bonus round simply gives you a higher chance of triggering these features. We just couldn’t stomach hanging out with these people for longer than we had to, but hey, perhaps other players see things differently than us.
