They've just released ''Big Bass Secrets of The Golden Lake' and 'Aztec Powernudge' and both have already become extremely popular at online casinos that offer players special incentives for slots. In cooperation with slot developers, many sites offer free spins as a part of the welcome package. These bonus spins can be used by new users only on selected slots. Customers then need to activate special casino codes to claim these bonuses.

With such an impressive portfolio, it's no surprise that Pragmatic Play continues to expand around the globe. They have recently signed partnership deals with PixBet in Brazil and the Fortuna Entertainment Group. The latter sees them supplying online slots in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

When it comes to creating a new slot game, its theme is important. What theme to use for a board game that people will love playing.

Just think how many slot games there are that have a mythical theme or use Irish leprechauns, animals or tie-in with a popular movie or TV show.

Probably not at the top of your list is fish and those who spend all day in a boat trying to catch them. However, you'd be wrong and the Big Bass slots have proved to be very successful. Hence, the fact that Pragmatic Play has released another one this year.

Games such as 'Big Bass Christmas Bash' and 'Big Bass Bonanza' were so successful that more releases using this theme was inevitable. It's not an easy task though because it's important to retain popular elements but add new ones to give it a fresh feel. It's like having fish and chips all the time but now and then adding some mushy peas or tartare sauce.

This new Big Bass release takes us to the legendary waters of the Golden Lake. Just what can be found there is the big question. There are two bonus games in this new slot and they can bring its players some good wins.

As the introduction to the game says "Only one fishing trip can get this wild.' There's a rather cartoonish look to the game and that adds to the fun of playing it. Again, we're underwater but there's a sword but no sign of King Arthur.

Up to 20 free spins can be won if at least three scatters appear on the reels after a spin. It's not straight into the free spins though. There are 12 face-down cards and you need to choose one. If it's a bonus card you pick then the classic free spins round is the one you'll be playing. The fisherman wild symbols can help boost your account balance.

There are two Secrets of the Golden Lake cards that could be chosen. If you get one then it's off to the Golden Lake you go. Only fisherman wilds and money symbols are on the reels so plenty of big wins could be on their way. Perhaps even the top win of 5000x your stake.

It's always a busy time for Pragmatic Play with up to eight new games being released each month. With Bingo and Live Casino games also entering the market, they continue to be hugely successful.

'Aztec Powernudge' is another of their recent releases. Again, this is a colourful game with plenty of jewel symbols ensuring that is the case. The Aztec theme is another popular one that is regularly used by slot designers.

There are diamond multipliers that can appear randomly. These can reward players with a multiplier that can be as high as 100x during the base game.

EIght matching symbols are required to get a winning combination. However, the scatter pays mechanic is in play here. Those eight matching symbols just need to be anywhere on the reels.

Nudges have come a long way since being included in the rather basic fruit machines of the past. There's no bending down to see if a couple of nudges might produce a win on the next spin.

Now it's time for the Powernudge where winning symbols go down a spot leaving room for new ones to appear. Collecting scatters during the nudge sequence can see free spins earned with as many as 35 possible.

When those begin the multipliers are again rising and can reach 1000x. More free spins can be received if three more scatters appear on a spin.
