Big Bass Return to the Races: Ghode Aur Machli Ka Dhamaka, Boss!
So, listen up, this time Pragmatic Play’s fishy friends, Reel Kingdom, are going to the horse races, again! They’ve taken their popular Big Bass slot and given it a bit of a remix with “Big Bass Return to the Races,” thoda alag, thoda same. It’s all about catching those wild symbols and money symbols, you know the drill. But if you’re hoping for new masala and features, you might be disappointed, because this game is just a race track skin on their “Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake” game, thoda purana hai, thoda naya.
Now, it might sound ajeeb, but if you like green, you’ll probably like this game. The background is a lush green racetrack, and even the gaming grid is covered in grass, ekdum hara bhara. And get this, the music they used in the demo is the same as the Golden Lake game! It’s like they’re saying “same-same but different”. Hopefully, they’ll change the music before it hits the market, or maybe not, because gamblers seem to love anything Big Bass related, even if it’s recycled, kya karein!
Big Bass Return to the Races slot – base game
Big Bass Return to the Races: Game Details – Kitna Kya Hai, Boss!
So, listen up, this “Big Bass Return to the Races” has a 5×3 reel setup, which is like their race track, you know. It’s got 10 paylines, and that’s how they calculate the winnings. And you got a couple of options to choose from, two bonus buy options, an ante bet, and you can bet from 10 cents to 250 bucks – sab kuch hai idhar! The RTP is 96.07%, whether you use those options or not, sab same to same!
If you use the ante bet, it’ll cost you an extra 50% of your bet, but it might increase your chances of triggering the free spins, thoda risk, thoda fayda.
Now, for the symbols, they’ve got ten of them. The 10 to A card symbols, they pay 5 to 10 times the bet – not much, but it’s something, right? The high pays are the horses, binoculars, beer, boxes, and champagne bucket. Those can pay you anywhere from 20 to 200 times your bet, dhamakedar hai bhai! Wild symbols, they can replace any of the regular symbols, but you won’t see them in the base game, only in the free spins, thoda wait karna hoga.

Big Bass Return to the Races: Bonus Features – Mazaa Hi Mazaa, Boss!
So, listen up, this “Big Bass Return to the Races” game has some pretty exciting bonus features. If you land 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, you’ll get 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively, ekdum dhamakedar!
And in the base game, if you land two scatters, sometimes there’s a chance for the third one to show up. If the two scatters can move down one position and stay on the grid, you might get a respin. Or a random scatter might just appear, thoda magic hai!
Before the free spins start, you get to pick a card from 12 possible cards. If you get a regular bonus card, you start regular free spins, but if you get a Golden Cup card, you go into Golden Cup Free Spins, which is more mazedaar!
Free Spins – Khul Ke Khelo!
During the regular free spins, each wild symbol you land will collect all the values of the money symbols on the reels. The money symbols are the horse symbols, and they have values of 2x to 5,000x your bet, wah bhai wah! All the wilds you collect are saved up and every 4th wild retriggers the free spins, giving you +10 more free spins, and a multiplier for your money symbol collection – x2 for the second time, x3 for the third, and x10 for the fourth time. After the fourth time, no more retriggers, bas itna hi.
Golden Cup Free Spins – Sone Ka Cup!
These Golden Cup Free Spins are played on a grid with only blanks, money symbols, and wild symbols. On each spin, all winning lines with money symbols pay out, and each wild symbol collects all the money symbol values on the reels. The rules are the same as the regular free spins game.
Random Bonus – Surprise Hai!
During any free spins round, randomly, if there are wild symbols but no money symbols, then at the end of the spin, money symbols might show up. If there are money symbols but no wild, a lasso might pull a random reel to bring a wild into view, kya luck hai! And if there are wilds but no money symbols, a curtains animation might change all symbols except the wilds into something else, jadoo hai!
Feature Buy – Shortcut, Boss!
If you want to jump straight into the action, you can buy the bonus:
Pay 100x your bet to trigger either free spins or Golden Cup Free Spins
Pay 270x your bet to trigger Golden Cup Free Spins directly.

Big Bass Return to the Races: Final Verdict – Kya Hai Sach, Boss?
So, listen up, this time Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom, they’ve done it again, making another Big Bass slot, but this time with horses, kyun bhai kyun? We’ve already been to the races with them before in “Big Bass Day at the Races,” and now we’re back again. The features, they’re nothing new, it’s all the same old waiting around for the free spins to start so the wilds can collect the money symbols and level up, purana drama. It’s basic Big Bass stuff that has been done so many times before, it’s getting a bit boring now, or even a lot boring, mazza nahi aa raha hai boss.
Basically, “Big Bass Return to the Races” is a reskin of “Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake,” which wasn’t great to start with, just okay-ish. The thing that sets this slot apart is the Golden Lake/Golden Cup Free Spins round, thoda alag hai. It’s not totally new, but it is different from the usual. And it’s even got us thinking, because the Golden Cup Free Spins are like the regular ones, but all the normal symbols are removed, which makes you wonder if you’ve got a better chance of winning the 5,000x cap in the Golden Cup round, than the regular one, sochne wali baat hai.
And who knows when this Big Bass madness will end, kab tak chalega yeh? Will this series end with a big explosion, or will it just fade away, like a forgotten song? While “Big Bass Secrets Of The Golden Lake” was okay because it had a unique medieval fishing thing going on, “Big Bass Return to the Races” is leaning more towards just fading away, thoda kamzor hai.
