What we think about the Big Bite slot?
“This game is swimming in winning potential and it’s all thanks to its Orca symbol!”
Is the Big Bite slot for you?
With a name like Big Bite, at first read you might be thinking that this is another online slot game about a shark. Nope. The star of this 5x3, 10-payline Push Gaming slot is an Orca. What’s more, nothing about the Big Bite game will give you Razor Shark vibes, which is another popular Push Gaming aquatic-themed slot. Unlike Razor Shark and its sequel, Razor Returns, Big Bite is less intense in terms of its theme, soundtrack and volatility.
The Big Bite online slot invites you on a fishing adventure in the arctic. The setting is a deep blue ocean surrounded by icebergs. On the reels you’ll see a polar bear, walrus, penguin, compass, map in a bottle, and a boot (…that’s seen some better days). There are also special symbols including a boat (Wild symbol), anchor (Scatter symbol) the Orca, money fish, and jackpot seashell symbols.
Although the overall atmosphere of this low-medium volatility game is pretty chill compared to other online casino slots, the game isn’t boring. With the help of your pal Big Bite the orca, you have a chance to snap up some multipliers, cash prizes, free spins and one of five fixed jackpots.
The max win per game round is up to 10,000x the current base bet amount. As for the bet range, if you’re playing the Big Bite slot Canada version, you can place bets as low as $0.10 or as high as $25. For some high rollers, the limited bet range and low-medium volatility might not appeal. If that’s the case, we’ve got plenty of other slots and games like baccarat that can provide you with the type of high stakes entertainment you enjoy.
However, if the Big Bite slot machine sounds like the perfect catch to you, keep on reading to learn more about its features.
Game features
Orca Symbols
The Push Gaming Big Bite slot has a few special symbols and one of these is the Orca symbol. These can only land on reels 1 and 5. If they land when fish or jackpot symbols are on the reels, they will collect them, awarding you the prize. As an extra perk, the Orca symbol can sometimes come with multipliers (1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x). If this occurs, the Orca not only collects the cash from the fish but multiplies the collected amount by its attached multiplier.
Fish & Jackpot Symbols
The other noteworthy special symbols of the Big Bite slot game are the Fish symbols and Seashell Jackpot symbols. The fish are linked to cash prizes (similar to the slots in Pragmatic’s Big Bass series) with values ranging from 1x to 1,000x. The seashells are multicoloured with each colour linked to a specific jackpot:
- Blue – Mini Jackpot (15x)
- Green - Minor Jackpot (75x)
- Purple - Major Jackpot (350x)
- Red - Mega Jackpot (1500x)
- Yellow - Grand Jackpot (10,000x)
If either the Fish or Jackpot symbols land at the same time as an Orca symbol, the Orca will collect them, and you’re awarded the prize.
Though I came close to landing a jackpot a few times when I played, my “big bites” consisted only of money fish.
Free Spins
You’ll trigger the free spins feature if you land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. While you will always only get 10 free spins to start, the number of scatters you land determines the starting multiplier. You’ll get a starting multiplier of 1x for 3 scatters, 3x for 4, and 10x for 5.
During the free spins bonus round the reel grid expands from 5x3 to 5x5. This bonus round is also a progressive feature. As such, any time an Orca symbol lands, it’s collected toward the Progression meter (located next to the right side of the reels). When a new level is reached you get 5 more spins, and another multiplier is awarded.
I find the Big Bite free spins feature to be especially exciting because of its progressive nature. I like that by landing Orca symbols you not only increase the multiplier, but you can get another 5 spins. During one bonus round I started with a 3x multiplier and was lucky enough to land multiple Orcas to continue getting spins until finally reaching the 10x multiplier.
Push Bet and Feature Buy
If you want a better chance of triggering the free spins feature, Big Bite slots give you the option of “Push Bet”. This boosts your chances of triggering the feature by increasing your base bet by 20% a spin.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to take your chances naturally triggering the feature through gameplay, you can opt for “Feature Buy”, which transports you directly to the feature. The Feature Buy gives you 4 bonus buy options (A starting multiplier of 1x, 3x, 10x or random). The cost of each option depends on the starting multiplier. For instance, free spins with a 1x starting multiplier will cost 43x your base bet (e.g., $2 bet x 43 = $86), while a 10x starting multiplier will cost 212x (e.g., $2 x 212 = $424).
While you should always watch your bankroll carefully, this goes double when using the Push Bet and Feature Buy options.
Other games you might like
Razor Shark
If more intense undersea action is what you’re looking for, Push Gaming’s Razor Shark is the game to play. This slot is loaded with features including Mystery Stacks, Nudge & Reveal, Razor Reveal and Free Spins. Also, did I mention the massive max win of up to 50,000x your stake? This game takes volatility to the max.
Big Bass Bonanza
One spin of Big Bass Bonanza and you’ll quickly see some similarities between this popular fishing-themed title and Big Bite. Most notably the fish symbols with money prizes and the progressive free spins feature. If you like Big Bite, this one from Pragmatic is worth a spin, especially since it was released first.
My verdict
Big Bite isn’t the most original slot game out there. It uses many of the same features (e.g., free spins, jackpots, cash collect, win multipliers) that we’ve seen time and again in other online slots. For me, what sets it apart from other machines is how these features are incorporated and used in the theme. Big Bite does this very well, especially by including the Orca symbol, which not only collects prize money, but can also boost payout size. Ultimately, though it shares similarities with other popular fishing-themed slots, this game manages to stand on its own flippers, delivering fun and engaging gameplay.
