Club Tropicana Slot Summary & Game Review

If there's a two-word combo that evokes images of somewhere the party never stops, where every partygoer is happy, carefree, and up for whatever, 'Club Tropicana' has got to be a strong contender. As well as being used to name things like at least one hotel, clubs, and of course the 1983 Wham! hit song, it is now also being used as an online slot from Pragmatic Play and partner Reel Kingdom.

Club Tropicana might be an upbeat title, but it's not the most original, and neither is its gameplay. The reason is Club Tropicana is a straight clone of Bigger Bass Blizzard, which means Money symbol collects, and Free Spins where collected wilds lead to money multipliers.

The first question that comes to mind here regards the main character. That bearded sunglasses chap who has starred in numerous Bass-related slots, has he got a name? If not, then he has surely earned one by now. This is the same man who does the fishing in the Big Bass series, which include Big Bass Splash, Bigger Bass Blizzard](/casino/slots/pragmatic/bigger-bass-blizzard) and Bass Boss among others. 

This guy has cropped up reeling in fish all over the place, and here he appears to be this Club Tropicana's bartender. He bobs about on the side of the screen, occasionally shaking cocktails, as foliage waves on the other side of the grid, while the top portion displays a line of black silhouetted palm trees. Factor in a swinging soundtrack and this Club Tropicana is a pretty sweet place to kick back for a bit - cheesy perhaps, but in a good way, and despite the flipped theme, it does feel like a Big Bass relative. Though the connection could have been, after all, just psychological.

In the introduction, we mentioned that Club Tropicana is a direct clone of Bigger Bass Blizzard, and this is accurate. Unlike Bigger Bass Blizzard, which had minor differences from its predecessor, Bigger Bass Bonanza, Club Tropicana shares identical stats with the latter. The game's volatility is rated 10 out of 10, and the maximum RTP is 96.08% when playing the game normally or using the Ante Bet. However, it drops slightly to 96.07% when buying free spins. The betting range is unusual, starting at £0.12 per spin and going up to £240.00. Enabling the Ante Bet, which adds more scatter symbols, increases the cost by 50%.

Club Tropicana can be played on any device and features a 5x4 game grid with 12 fixed paylines. Regular symbols pay from left to right, starting from the first reel along a payline. The low-paying symbols include cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, and watermelons, while the high-paying symbols include a pool ring, a cocktail, cocktail umbrellas, and a pouring drink. A five-of-a-kind low pay combination awards 10x the bet, while the high pay symbols pay out between 50 to 200 times the bet. Money symbols land with random values ranging from 2x to 4,000x the bet. If a five-of-a-kind line of Money symbols hits, they pay the total of their values.

Club Tropicana Scatters, Free Spins and Wilds

While the base game is exciting, the Free Spins Round considerably heats things up. The round offers multipliers, as well as Wild and Money Symbol collecting, significantly boosting winning potential.

Drinks are Scatters, with at least 3 of them anywhere on the reels triggering the Free Spins feature. If you land 3 Scatters, you will receive 10 free spins, 4 will get you 15, while 5 Scatters on the grid mean 20 free spins for you. If 2 Scatters appear in the base game, a hook might randomly turn up to pull the third one into view.

Furthermore, the Free Spins round introduces Wild symbols that replace the regular icons in winning combinations. When Money symbols are on the grid simultaneously with Wilds, their values are collected and awarded. In addition, Wild symbols are collected, and for every four of them, you will receive 10 extra spins. They come with a multiplier of 2x, 3x and 10x for the first three re-triggers.

Once the current set of free spins runs out, the re-triggered batch activates with a respective multiplier. After the third re-activation, more re-triggers are not possible. When one or two Wilds are on the grid, at the end of a free spin, Money Symbols can appear in random cells. Finally, reels might be randomly pushed up to unveil Money and Wild Symbols.

Summing it up

Talk about making hay while the sun shines. With Club Tropicana, Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom squeeze a bit of extra milk from the cash cow. Needless to say, players who can't get enough of the Big/Bigger Bass franchise should get a kick or two out of Club Tropicana as well. Kind of hard not to since it's a direct port-over of Bigger Bass Blizzard, so catching fish, or in this case, literal money-adorned Money symbols, is back on the menu. The opposite is true too. If you are fed up to the gills with the whole Bass phenomenon, run for the hills now because Club Tropicana plays out in exactly the same way.

The Big/Bigger Bass shtick is massively popular and has been enjoyed by a huge number of online slot enthusiasts since Big Bass Bonanza exploded on the scene back in the latter part of 2020. In some ways a surprise hit since it felt like a basic Fishin' Frenzy wannabe, which in some ways, it was. However, it struck the right chord, and after several follow-ups, here we are in Club Tropicana, getting a repeat performance. Nothing has been updated mechanically or numerically, including the 4,000x win cap, so Bass zealots will have an excellent idea of what to expect should they choose to load up Club Tropicana.
