Introduction to Bass Cash 1000
Bass Cash 1000 is a casino slot from Alchemy Gaming with a fishing theme. Once again, the dog Wilson is back, and he takes us to a well-known 5x4 grid with 1,024 ways to win. If you’ve ever played Bass Cash Diamond X UP or Bash Cash Deluxe, you will recognize Wilson’s home fishing turf. It’s a place where Fisherman Symbols pull in all visible cash symbols on the grid and hand them over to you straight away. There are also multiplier symbols that can multiply cash prizes by up to 1,000x. Alchemy Gaming has thrown in a bunch of other features, too, so you'd better come with us for a long fishing journey to figure out how everything works.
Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Bass Cash 1000 is a video slot from Alchemy Gaming with 5 reels, 4 rows, and 1,024 ways to make wins. The Min.bet is 0.2, and the Max.bet is 12.5. Bass Cash 1000 has very high volatility, a max win of 20,000x the bet, and an RTP of 96%. The game’s hit frequency of 12.78% means that about one spin of eight is a winner, on average.
The grand part of the game takes place underwater in a lake, river, or maybe even sea. The five transparent reels are divided by small water bubbles traveling toward the surface. On top of the reels is a meter with a padlock, and to the left is a display of the game’s jackpots, with the 5,000x Mega Jackpot at the top. The game’s logo is placed in the bottom left corner. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the leftmost reel. The game is available on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Bass Cash 1000 are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They pay between 0.8x and 1.2x the bet for a win of 5 symbols. The higher-paying symbols are fishing rods, lures, lure boxes, and Wilson dogs. They will give you between 1.8x and 4x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The Wild Symbol substitutes for all the mentioned symbols in making winning combinations. It doesn’t substitute the Scatter, Bonus, Fish, and Fisherman Symbols.

What features are available in the slot Bass Cash 1000?
The features are Wild Symbols, Cash Collect, Fisherman Symbols, Multiplier Symbols, Winston’s Wild Catch, Free Spins, Bonus Recharge Feature, Bass Cash Bonus, Win Booster Feature, Feature Buy, and Upsizer Feature.
Wild Symbols
Wild symbols substitute for the regular-paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not replace Scatter, Bonus, Fish, Multi-fish cash prize, Jackpot prize, or Fisherman symbols. The Wild Symbols can appear everywhere except on the first reel.
Cash Collect
The game offers cash and jackpot prizes that can appear in the base game and Free Spins. Fish, Multi-fish, and Jackpot prize symbols can land on any reel, and they are only awarded when they are collected by Fisherman symbols.
Fisherman Symbols
Fisherman symbols function as collectors and appear on reels 1 and 5 in both the base game and the Free Spins round, with a maximum of one Fisherman symbol per reel. When a Fisherman symbol lands along with any Fish, Multi-fish, or Jackpot prize symbols, all the prizes that are displayed are collected once. However, if both Fisherman symbols land, each prize is collected twice.
The cash prizes for fish range from 0.2 times to 10 times the amount staked, and there are four types of jackpot symbols: the Mega Jackpot (5,000x), the Major Jackpot (250x), the Minor Jackpot (50x), and the Mini Jackpot (15x).
Scatter symbols and Gold Scatter symbols, which do not cause Free Spins, are added to the Gold Free Spins collection meter; when a total of 160 Scatter symbols have been collected, the meter is full, and triggering regular Free Spins has no effect on the meter.
Once the meter is full, only Gold Scatter symbols will appear. The meter remains full until Gold Free Spins are triggered, at which point it resets and begins to accumulate once more.
Multiplier Symbols
In both the base game and the Free Spins, cash prize multiplier symbols can show up on reel 1, but only one multiplier can be obtained per spin. The possible multipliers are 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, and the highest prize of 1,000x; however, these multipliers only apply to Fish and Multi-fish cash prize symbols.
When a multiplier appears alongside a Multi-fish symbol, it is applied before the symbol is duplicated on the reels. In the case of Free Spins, any multiplier accumulated is also added to the running multiplier total for that spin.
Winston's Wild Catch
Winston the dog has the possibility of appearing at any time during the base game or the Free Spins before the reels come to a halt. He can cause Fish, Multi-fish, and Jackpot prize symbols to appear, or he can show Fish symbols along with a random multiplier, which may be 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, or 10x. Additionally, Winston puts one or two Fisherman symbols on the reels so that all the available prizes can be collected.
Free Spins
If three or more Scatter symbols are landed, then 10 Free Spins are awarded. If three or more Gold Scatter symbols are landed, then Gold Free Spins are triggered, starting with three Fisherman symbols already in the Free Spins trail.
While you are playing your Free Spins, each Fisherman symbol that you collect advances you along the trail. When you have collected four Fisherman symbols, you obtain a 2 times cash prize multiplier and are given 5 additional Free Spins. If you collect eight Fisherman symbols, you get a 3 times multiplier and another 5 spins, and when you have collected twelve Fisherman symbols, you will receive the large 1,000 times multiplier as well as 5 more Free Spins.
The Free Spins feature cannot be retriggered.
Bonus Recharge Feature
Once your Free Spins session has ended, Bonus Recharge might give you the opportunity to keep playing; in this case, you can either purchase additional Free Spins at the price shown or finish the feature and go back to the main game. The cost will vary depending on your current game progress.
The Bonus Recharge is available only when playing Free Spins and might be limited according to the amount you bet or to your location.
Bass Cash Bonus
Bonus symbols have the possibility of appearing anywhere during the base game. Each Bonus symbol occupies one of the five empty spaces above the reels. When all five of these spaces have been filled, the Bass Cash Bonus is triggered. Reel 1 then turns into a full-size Fisherman symbol, whereas reels 2 through 5 contain only Fish, Multi-fish cash prizes, and Trophy symbols. All the other symbols are replaced by blanks, and Jackpot symbols do not show up.
As soon as any cash prize has been won, it is picked up right away. Trophy symbols are available in Gold, Silver, Red, and Blue versions. The Bonus ends when three Trophy symbols of the same kind have been collected. You get all the cash prizes that you have collected together with the jackpot associated with the matching Trophy color.
In each Bonus game, only one jackpot is won. When the feature has ended, the Bonus symbol meter is reset.
Win Booster Feature
The Win Booster can be switched on or off during the base game. When it is active, all payouts are still based on your original base bet.
To get the 1,000x boost, you have to pay 500 times your base bet for each spin; it ensures that a 1,000x multiplier will appear on every spin and that only Fish, Multi-fish, and Fisherman symbols can land, all the other symbols being replaced by blanks and the Jackpot symbols being removed.
Each spin for the Free Spins Boost costs 1.5 times the amount of your base bet and increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins by half.
Feature Buy
The Feature Buy option is available during the base game and lets you jump straight into Free Spins. The regular Free Spins cost 100x the bet, while Gold Free Spins cost 200x. Feature Buy cannot be used while the Win Booster is active.
Upsizer Feature
The Upsizer Feature pops up when you trigger the Free Spins, before the feature starts. It allows you to purchase the pre-collection of three Fisherman symbols, giving you a head start on the Free Spins trail.
Final Thoughts on Bass Cash 1000
Winston the dog welcomes you to yet another game, and Bass Cash 1000 doesn’t hide what it is. You’ll instantly feel at home if you’ve played any of the previous games. In fact, this release is ridiculously similar to Bass Cash Deluxe. The Fisherman Symbols have become two different ones, but the symbols and their payouts are identical, and the features are almost identical. With that said, Wilson is still happy to help you out, Fisherman symbols are still scooping up cash prizes, and multipliers are still flying around the reels. Not even the shiny 1,000x multiplier is a new addition since there’s one in the Win Booster Feature in Bass Cash Deluxe.
The game isn’t bad, there are quite a lot of features, and the max win of 20,000x the bet is impressive. But we had bigger hopes of upgrades or new features in this release. After so many similar releases, it’s hard to escape the feeling that we’ve seen most of these tricks before. The excitement of catching a giant fish fades a little when it looks suspiciously like the last dozen giant fish you caught.
You will probably have a good time if you’re one of those who enjoys collecting cash symbols and watching Fisherman symbols vacuum up the screen. Newcomers may even find this to be one of the stronger entries in the series, but long-time Bass Cash fans might start wishing Wilson would pack up his fishing rod and try a completely different hobby for once. Birdwatching, perhaps.
Bass Cash 1000 from Alchemy Gaming is a very familiar fishing slot that delivers exactly what to expect, for better and for worse.
