REEL IN THE EXCITEMENT IN PRAGMATIC PLAY’S BIG BASS AMAZON XTREME™
The provider goes on an Amazon trip with its favourite fisherman in Big Bass Amazon Xtreme
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, invites players on a fishing trip like no other with Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™ .
The latest release in the Big Bass franchise sees familiar symbols and gameplay return to the 5×3 reels, this time being joined by new symbols that must form a matching combination across 10 paylines to award a win.
Money symbols in the shape of fish can land during the base game, with random chances of players collecting the fish’s values of up to 1,000x their bet. A random multiplier of up to 40x is also applied, opening up the chances to catch big prizes on any spin.
The slot’s free spins feature is unlocked after players land three or more Scatter symbols during base gameplay. Special modifiers enhance the gameplay in this round, with players able to pick between features such as more free spins or removing the lowest-paying fish on the reels.
During the free spins round, every Fisherman Wild that lands will collect the values from each Money symbol on the reels. Every fourth Wild collected will retrigger the bonus feature, awarding an extra 10 free spins and adding an incrementally increasing multiplier to the values of the Money symbols.
Players can also turn things up a notch with the Ante feature, selecting a bet multiplier of up to 15x for extra Scatters on the reels and increased chances of hitting the free spins round.
Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™ builds on the popularity of earlier titles in Pragmatic Play’s popular Big Bass franchise. The slot pays homage to the original theme, but adds additional features and opportunities for creating wins, which offers a new twist for fans of the series to enjoy.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Our Big Bass franchise has seen incredible success with players, so we’re excited to up the ante with the addition of Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™ to Pragmatic Play’s ever-expanding Slot portfolio.
“Special modifiers in the free spins round add an exciting new element to the familiar gameplay that players know and love, alongside chances to win random prizes with Money symbols in the base game to set the scene for a big catch.”
Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, will moderate a panel at The Blockchain show on 29th June, bringing together experts from entertainment, location-based gaming, and content localisation to examine what it takes to build sustainable gaming ecosystems across emerging markets.
The panel, titled “Global Gaming Expansion: Lessons from Untapped Markets,” will structure its discussion across four themes: the growth dynamics reshaping emerging gaming markets; the role of localisation in creating experiences that genuinely connect with new audiences; the infrastructure and communities needed to build gaming ecosystems beyond the game itself; and the lessons and opportunities that will define successful expansion in the years ahead.
Alona Shevtsova plans to frame the discussion around the central challenge for companies looking to expand globally: entering a new market requires far more than bringing an existing product to a new audience. Understanding local cultures, building communities, adapting experiences, and creating ecosystems that allow gaming to grow sustainably are all as important as the product itself.
Alona Shevtsova, CEO of Sends, said:
“The future growth of gaming will come not only from new technologies, but from understanding people — their cultures, communities, and the experiences they want to be part of. Successful expansion will belong to those who can combine global ambition with local understanding.”
The first segment will examine why regions including the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia are becoming increasingly significant for developers, operators, and investors — driven by young audiences, accelerating digital adoption, and new entertainment models creating substantial growth potential. Panellists will explore how consumer preferences differ across markets and what trends among younger audiences are shaping the future of gaming and entertainment.
The third segment will broaden the lens beyond the game itself, exploring the role of location-based entertainment, gaming centres, esports, and experiential destinations in attracting new audiences and building long-term communities. Panellists plan to address how entertainment ecosystems — spanning physical venues, events, and community infrastructure — accelerate gaming adoption in markets where the category is still establishing itself.
Earlier this month, Alona Shevtsova was shortlisted for the 2026 Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Established Business of the Year category. Her team is also preparing for the Fintech Connect conference in London later this year. Sends will be a leading sponsor of this event.
