I personally think the BBB games are terrible. Endless teases to distract you from the endless dead spins. Which IMO is why casinos promote those garbage games to death. Teases themselves being a dopamine hit provider, which gets people addicted.
Though, while up there in the all time shitters hall of fame, still not as bad as starburst. A game which casinos pushed to the front page and promoted with free spins to get players playing. A game that never delivers anything worthwhile, a game that grinds away balances without hardly ever giving hits enabling big withdrawals for the player. All the while advertising something that probably hasn't been achieved since its creation, the full screen of bars for a pathetically small maximum win.
Anyway, I assume that the reason a fisherman likes to drop with no fish on the higher multipliers is possibly just a deliberate teasing spin put into what is a losing spin.
NLC (no limit city) for example, went into detail on this forum a few years back in regards to how they set the slots they made to (randomly) occasionally throw in a close shave teasing spin if a particular losing spin occurred that had also triggered the graphics to display the losing spin as a close shave tease.
Such a tease that (imo) was added to give the players emotional swings and dopamine hits. Without that lying tease, NLC games, being off the scale in variance, will otherwise become so boring so quickly that the player loses interest.
So uhh, yeah. My guess is that the reason you sometimes see the a fisherman or 2 land with no fish in the higher multipliers of the bonus, is the game throwing an occasional tease to keep the player engaged with a game that, similar to NLC - hardly ever does anything, ever.
I think that If it didn't throw in the occasional fisherman tease, it would become way too obvious very quickly to a lot of people that the real mathematical chances of genuinely hitting both a fisherman and a fish above 2x stake value on the screen together while spinning through higher multipliers of the bonus, are so far fetched and rare that without the occasional teasing fisherman, many punters woud hardly ever damn well see one at that stage at all. It woud be too obvious, which would put a lot of people off and never return.
Nobody wants to spin 300 times and endure 285 (expensive) dead base game spins, something which BBB slots regularly produce, only to then finally get a bonus where the fisherman keeps getting the last laugh by jumping overboard and drowning himsef each time you got above 2x mutiplier.
No, they want people to think it's more regular than it really is. That the fisherman is still above water and that all the fish above 2x stake haven't just been hoovered up by China's fishing fleet.
The tease is suggesting to people who don't understand how slots are designed that there is hope. That they were just unlucky those 18 previous times where 0 fish dropped if the fisherman appeared on those higher multipliers the rare times they got that far. While with games such as Big bass Bonanza, 99.95% of the time when you do finally get that far during the bonus, there really isn't any hope at all.
Just an imo post of course. Probably also a few paragraphs longer than really required, but what's done is done.
