Part of the much-loved Big Bass series, this game is quite a catch.
Big Bass Hold & Spinner is a five-reel, ten-payline slot from Pragmatic Play. Like the other games in the series, this one is themed around a fisherman trying his hardest to land a big bass, but the slot comes with an extra special feature: the Hold & Spinner round. Here, you’ll aim to fill the game grid with money symbols to collect cash.
To start playing, click on the up and down arrows at the bottom of the game grid to select your coin value and coins per line. This will give you your total bet amount. The game has ten paylines, and all symbols pay out from left to right on one of the paylines.
Make sure you keep an eye on the Parimatch promos section to see if you can bag any special offers before you start playing.
The game is set underwater and comes with some unique visuals; for example, rows of bubbles divide the grid into reels. The entire grid is animated, and the symbols are large and colourful, in line with the cartoonish look and feel of the main character and his fish.
The reels spin rapidly (on both desktop and mobile), and there’s an upbeat theme tune to lift your mood while you wait for that big fish to bite.
The symbols in this game are all themed around fishing - just don’t confuse your gaming reels and fishing reels.
The wild symbol takes the form of the fisherman holding his bass, and it can appear only during the free spins round. The Big Bass is the scatter symbol, and it can appear on all reels.

As the name suggests, the Hold & Spinner round is the main feature of this game, but there’s also a free spins round, which you can trigger by landing enough of the scatter symbols.
The diamond and the coin are money symbols, and on every spin, they take on a different money value, which can range from 1x your total bet to 2,000x. Whenever at least three money symbols land on the reels, they’ll trigger the Hold & Spinner bonus.
All money symbols lock in place while other symbols disappear, and the reels start to spin. For every new money symbol that lands on the reels, the spins are re-triggered, and once no more money symbols land, the values are totalled up, and they’ll give your final win amount.
If you land three, four, or five scatter symbols, you’ll trigger up to 20 free spins, depending on how many scatters you have. The fish symbols can land on the reels and have monetary values, plus you can re-trigger the free spins round by landing at least four wilds (they don’t need to appear at the same time).
The maximum amount you can stand a chance to win on the Big Bass Hold & Spinner slot is 10,000x your bet amount. If the winnings from a free spins round exceed this, the round ends immediately. You can bet as low as £0.10, so the maximum with this type of bet is £1,000.
When you’re setting your stake, you’ll have the option to place your bet multiplier. If you select a multiplier of 10x, the game will behave as normal, but if you choose 15x, you’ll have a better chance of landing scatters - known as the antebet. Big Bass Hold & Spinner has high volatility, so it pays out less often, but you could land bigger wins compared to lower volatility slots.
