Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, will have players on the hook with its long-anticipated sequel to the smash-hit Blast the Bass, Ice Bass.
The sea-battered fisherman from Blast the Bass is back, swapping his summer kit for a powerful ice drill and a heavy-duty parka. Beneath the thick, crystalline crust of the lake lies a bounty of legendary proportions that carries a maximum win of 5,000x. Each spin is backed by an upbeat soundtrack that quickens as the game progresses through new levels.
Both regular payline elements and credit symbols with multipliers ranging from 2x to 1000x are represented by Fish icons. The Fisherman-Wild, who only appears in Free Games, unlocks their actual worth. The Fisherman gathers and adds up all of the values that are visible on the screen when he lands next to Fish symbols; the more Fishermen there are on the reels, the bigger the overall haul.
Players can hook boosters that add more Fishermen, offer more spins, or guarantee Fish symbols on every spin during the special pre-game fishing phase that begins when three or more Scatters trigger Free Games. The period finishes when the dreadful Old Boot is hooked. As Fisherman-Wilds build up, a Booster panel above the reels fills, starting a line of Boosters that prolong the round and stack multipliers as the feature intensifies.
Hot Mode, the premium tier that immediately awards active multipliers and additional games, is activated by five Scatters in the base game. While the Bet +25% option increases the frequency of Scatters and the likelihood of triggering Hot Mode, all wins are calculated from the base bet. Players who are eager to get right to the action can utilise the Buy Bonus to buy Free Games or Hot Mode instantly.
Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, said: “Get your winter gear ready for our slick new Ice Bass, a more-than worthy follow-up to the much-loved Blast the Bass. We wanted to create a game that packed the same punch as the original but in a new winter tundra setting and the team has delivered a game that is scorching hot even below zero!”
