Big Bass Halloween 2 - the Rules, Thirteen Fish Values, Five Modifiers and One Buy Price

What this build shares with Big Bass Bonanza 1000, and where it differs

My reference for this one is Big Bass Bonanza 1000, logged on bigbassbonanzaplay.org. One engine under two skins. The fishing build and the Halloween build share a 5x3 grid, ten lines that cannot be reduced, a fisherman wild confined to the free spins, money fish he collects, and a bar that steps the multiplier up at every fourth wild. Four differences, all on the screens. A draw of up to five modifier cards before each round, one of which starts the round on level 2. Thirteen fish values with 5000x at the top, against eight values and 1000x. A round cap of 5,000x, against 20,000x. One buy button at 100x and no ante bet, against an ante bet and two buttons. Nothing else differs.

Seven rules pages of one screen each, pages one to four carrying the machine and pages five to seven the interface.

How a spin pays

Ten fixed lines, with pays running from the first reel rightward across adjacent reels, one win per line at most, lines summed. The paytable shows cash at the current stake. The screens were read at 2.00, the portal session's stake, which makes every cash figure below a multiple too.

One symbol pays for two, the truck. One symbol pays five stakes for three, the truck again. Three of a kind on five of the ten symbols comes back short of one stake, and three fish come back at exactly one. Wild and scatter carry no line value. One log check. Spin 731 in the portal session set fish on twelve cells and took 134.00 on its lines, with 186.00 in tags on those same fish paying nothing. Paytable confirmed.

Thirteen values on a fish, and the one symbol that cashes them

Every fish is a money symbol. Each spin stamps a value on it, from a printed list of thirteen. 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x and 25x at the low end, 50x, 100x, 200x and 500x in the middle, 1666x, 2500x and 5000x at the top, each a multiple of the total bet. The stamp is cashed by a wild only, and the wild is a free spins symbol only. In the base game the stamp is scenery. The portal log says so twice over. Its best base spin held 186.00 in stamps and paid 134.00 on lines. Two of its boards held the 5000x stamp, 10,000.00 at this stake, and paid their lines like any other. The 1666x stamp appeared nowhere in the three logs. The 2500x stamp appeared once, in a sister log, on a free spins board with no wild in sight.

Three helpers run inside the feature, each printed as random and none with a rate. Fishermen on screen and no fish - dynamite can drop fish into empty cells at the end of the spin. Fish on screen and no fisherman - a hook can lift a reel and bring one in. Fishermen on screen and no fish - a chainsaw can redraw every other symbol. Portal log, 160 free spins: chainsaw three, hook two, dynamite one.

The trigger, the draw, and a bar that climbs

Scatters trigger, three for ten free spins, four for fifteen, five for twenty. Two without a third can call a respin, where the scatter reels drop one position and the rest spin again, or a hook that lifts one reel to a third. Then the draw, zero to five cards from a list of five. More Fish and More Fisherman load the reel strips. More Dynamites, Hooks and Chainsaws raises the helper chance. Start From Level 2 opens the round one rung up. +2 Spins stretches the opening batch by two and every retrigger by two. The screen gives no odds for any card.

Wilds are counted for the whole round on the bar above the reels. The fourth wild retriggers - ten more spins, twelve with the +2 card, played once the current batch is done, and the next rung for those added spins. Second level x2, third x3, fourth x10, and the fourth is the end of the bar. A round opened on level 2 by the card needs eight wilds for x10 where a plain round needs twelve. Longest possible round, derived from the text and never seen in a log - 48 spins from a three-scatter start with the +2 card and three retriggers, 58 from a five-scatter start with that card. Three scatters with +2 Spins and Start From Level 2 dealt together run to 36 at most, two rungs left to climb.

The portal log, 1,557 paid spins long, has nine rounds completed and a tenth opened by the final spin, all ten on three scatters. Of the nine completed, six opened on the paid spin, one via the respin, two via the hook. Four rounds took level 2 from the card, two rounds drew no card at all. Four rounds retriggered, one of them twice. Three rounds reached x3, none reached x10. Rounds that never retriggered paid 20.40-106.40. Rounds that did paid 300.00-549.20, the 549.20 on spin 241. Pool of three sessions, 36 completed rounds. 18 ended on x1, 14 on x2 and four on x3, none on x10; 26 never retriggered, nine did once and one twice. One rule tested against the data. Round 2 of the portal session, fourth wild on free spin 12, collected 156.00 at x2, and x3 ran from spin 13. Printed and observed agree. The tenth round, opened on spin 1,557, played one free spin, banked 14.00 on its counter and was still open when the recording stopped. Unverified past that spin, and outside every total here.

The cap and the one buy price

Once a free spins round hits 5,000x the bet it is over, the win is paid and the unplayed spins are gone, and page six says it again as 5000X, a stop and not a prize.

The buy is 100x the current total bet, 200.00 at a 2.00 stake and 300.00 at 3.00, and it opens the feature with 3, 4 or 5 scatters landing at random on the triggering spin. The screens say nothing about the card draw in a bought round and nothing about its spin count past the scatter table. No ante bet in this build. No button was pressed in any of the three logged sessions, 36 of 36 rounds natural. With the pool triggering once in 137 paid spins, the button buys one wait's worth of spins for a round whose pooled median paid 46.1 bets - a dear shortcut, priced on the screen and untested in the log.

Page four, line by line

A MEDIUM VOLATILITY label leads the page, with the game's one-line gloss under it, steady payouts and pays from low to very high. On the copy archived 24 May 2026 the same spot held five lightning bolts and a line calling the game high volatility. Same game, same return, new label. The return reads 96.71% for the game and 96.71% again with Buy Free Spins. Bet limits run 0.10 to 250.00. Wins multiply by bet per line, values show as coin wins, one win per line, space and enter drive the spin, malfunction voids all pays and plays. In practice the cash view is the default and the coin view is a click on the credit label away.

What stays unpriced

The weights behind the thirteen stamps. The odds of each card in the draw. The retrigger rate, the helper rates, the respin rate, the hook rate. The spin count of a bought round. A pay for the wild or the scatter. A release date, a version number, a studio name past the REEL KINGDOM mark in the corner. What is priced appears exactly where listed above. The return twice on page four, the cap on pages three and six, the bet limits on page four. The paid results are the portal's 91.47% over 1,557 paid spins and the pool's 79.69%, both tabled in the review, neither a rate. The 6.7 verdict in the review scores the machine, not the afternoon.

Quick answers

Do the stamps on the fish pay in the base game?

No, lines pay, and the stamps wait for a wild in the free spins.

Can the multiplier reach x10?

On the text, three retriggers in one round, or two if the round opened on level 2, but unverified, since the 36 logged rounds stopped at x3.

Does every round get a card?

Every round gets a draw, and six of the 36 logged rounds drew nothing from it.

What does a bought round start with?

Nothing is printed beyond the scatter table, so ten, fifteen or twenty spins by the scatters that land, plus two if the +2 card comes up.

Is 5,000x a jackpot?

No, a cap, and once it is reached the round is over, unplayed spins included.

The i button of the public demo on our shelf opens all seven pages. Demo credits first, the pages before anything else.

Known limits of this page

Known limits of this page: screens of 5 November 2026 from a dollar demo at 2.00, nothing earlier and nothing later. Stamp weights, card odds and retrigger odds, all unverified. The bought round, untested in all three logged sessions. No version number is printed anywhere, so what plays on our shelf is the public address we logged and not a copy proven unchanged, and page four did swap its volatility label between May and November. The portal session stopped inside an open round after one free spin, and nothing from that round is counted here. Everything else here came from a screen or from the portal log.

Verified against

Session BBH2-20260806-01 is the base. 1,557 paid spins at 2.00 across the evening of 6 August 2026, nine natural rounds completed with 160 free spins, a tenth left open, checkpoints kept throughout. Rules pages re-read in the public demo on 5 November 2026. The Big Bass Halloween 2 review carries the score, the frames and every table. The session report holds the balance on both sides of every round. The build itself runs on the demo shelf, and the protocol behind it lives on the methodology page. Still unseen in any log - the fourth rung at x10, a trigger on four or five scatters, and how long a bought round runs. 18+ holds in demo play as anywhere else.
