Pragmatic Play Enhances Soccer Thrills with Big Bass Football Bonanza

(AsiaGameHub) –   Pragmatic Play is tapping into the excitement surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a brand-new game that leverages the enduring appeal of its instantly recognizable Big Bass franchise. The studio is joining DragonGaming, BGaming, and other developers in rolling out these timely releases just ahead of the major tournament next month. 

Pragmatic Play Unveils Big Bass Series in a Soccer-Themed Setting

Franchise fans will revisit the cozy, familiar environment once more, though with a few modifications. As the studio playfully notes in its press release, the iconic fisherman has traded his boat for soccer cleats. 

The game will feature a 5×3 play grid, and the setting shifts to a packed stadium where crowds will cheer for the beloved angler who’s now embraced his passion for the beautiful game. 

Loaded with great features, the game offers between 15 and 25 free spins depending on the number of scatter trophy symbols you land. Another clever design choice is the introduction of red and blue teams, reflected in the wild symbols, with collecting money symbols potentially yielding up to 5,000x. 

Pragmatic Play’s Director of Public Relations Sharon McHugh has embraced the chance to see the popular franchise take a fresh angle—introducing players to the familiar, engaging series while branching out into something entirely new, referring to it as “the Big Brass formula.” 

“Big Bass Football Bonanza has been designed to capture the electric atmosphere surrounding the world’s most-watched football tournament. From the stadium-inspired setting to the football-themed symbols, the game delivers an entertaining twist on the popular Big Bass formula,” McHugh explained.

The red and blue wilds can push payouts even further: every fourth wild triggers 10 extra spins, which come with multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 10x. 

Yet, Pragmatic Play isn’t the only company that’s been exploring soccer-packed experiences to cater to the growing demand for more such games. 

Gaming recently launched two similarly themed titles: Lucky Pack 2026 Cup and Ultras.
