Symbols and payouts

The paytable has four Halloween-themed premium symbols, a Money symbol and five low ones. The top symbol gives 200x for five and 0.5x already for two on a line. The low symbols are split into two groups paying 10x and 5x.

On a line, the Money symbol pays 20x for five, but its main value lies in being collected by the Wild.

Payouts are shown as a multiple of the total stake.

Bonus features and mechanics

Triggering free spins

Three, four or five Scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The bonus can be bought for 100x the bet.

Random modifier

Unlike the first Halloween game, one modifier is chosen at random before the bonus: more collectors (Wilds), more Money symbols or extra spins. There is only one modifier, so the bonus is more predictable than in the games where several upgrades are picked.

Collection and levels

Each Fisherman Wild collects the money values on the screen and advances the bonus trail. Every fourth Wild adds 10 free spins and raises the multiplier, which grows up to 10x.

According to the provider, it is the modifiers that open the way to the 5,000x max win.

Pros and cons

Here is how the balance of advantages and limitations looks.

Hands-on testing in demo mode

In the demo, the base game behaves classically: small wins are frequent, and the bonus arrives irregularly. There is no Ante Bet, so the only way to speed up the bonus is to buy it.

The modifier noticeably affects the outcome. Extra Wilds most often help reach a retrigger, while extra Money symbols raise the amount of each collection. A bonus without a lucky modifier behaves as in the first game of the series.

The spread matches high volatility. The 5,000x cap restrains the extreme values.

Verdict and rating

Big Bass Halloween 2 is a clear game with a good RTP and a single random modifier. It is not overloaded with features, so it suits beginners and those who value the classic formula.

For long sessions with a micro bankroll, the game works at the minimum bet. High rollers may miss an Ante Bet and a higher win ceiling.

Editorial rating: 7.9 out of 10.
