Pragmatic Play · 2021
Bigger Bass Bonanza is a fishing-themed 5x4 video slot with high volatility from Pragmatic Play. This page covers the payouts, free spins and RTP versions.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and a legal age of 18+.
Pick a bet and the game spins a 5x4 grid with a fishing theme. Wins run on 12 fixed paylines, read left to right across adjacent reels from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, so a line can win on a short run. Regular symbols and fish with money values pay according to the paytable.
Read the free spins round since it sets this game apart. Scatter symbols start the round, and the fisherman wild appears only there. The wild substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, and its Money Collect feature gathers the cash values of all money symbols on screen when it lands. Every fourth collected wild retriggers the round with a multiplier.

Bigger Bass Bonanza bonus
The usual worry is not knowing when the free spins start or how many you get.
Land three, four or five Scatters for 10, 15 or 20 free spins. In this mode the fisherman Wild collects cash values of MONEY symbols. Every 4th collected Wild adds 10 spins with a x2, x3 or x10 MONEY-collection multiplier, max 3 retriggers. Round wins capped at 4000x bet.
Base Game spinFree spins

Placing a betCash from paylines
Five steps, one spin
Rocketplay Casino lays each step out before you stake, so nothing in the round catches you off guard.
Pick your stake before the first spin. The bet can run from A$0.12 to A$240, and every win scales with it.
Follow the win from the leftmost reel to the right. Two matching symbols on adjacent reels can pay on one of the 12 fixed paylines, and the paytable shows each amount.
Note the fish with a cash value, since they pay as the paytable shows. Three, four or five Scatter symbols start the free spins, covered in the next step.
Land three, four or five Scatter symbols and the free spins begin. The count you land sets the 10, 15 or 20 spins you get.
Set your budget and stop point before the first spin. At A$240 a spin, the balance drops quickly, while a lower stake spreads the same money across more spins.
See the win first
The most common worry is misreading a screen during free spins, so each frame names its state.
Choosing a bet before the first spin does not tell you when the bonus round will come. How often the free spins start is not known in advance, and one session can bring several bonus rounds or none at all. The return to player (RTP) is a figure over a very large number of spins. The result of your own session is random, whatever the RTP.
Before you start a session, check the game rules for the RTP version Rocketplay Casino runs. Only the game rules show which version is in use. The version sets the long-run return, so read it before the first spin.
Deciding whether to play for the top prize means counting on a ceiling that is reached very rarely. The maximum win of Bigger Bass Bonanza is a cap on the round win, not a result you can plan for. No session can be expected to reach it.

Player Questions
Most players ask about returns and stake sizes before the first spin.
Bigger Bass Bonanza runs at one RTP, 96.71 percent. Over a long run, the game returns A$96.71 for every A$100 staked. That average says nothing about a single session, where the result can be far above or below it.
Players can stake from A$0.12 up to A$240 per spin in Bigger Bass Bonanza. The paytable is calculated for a bet of A$1, and the tables on this page use A$1, A$2 and A$10 as examples. Choose the stake that fits your budget before the first spin.
This title holds the highest RTP of the Big Bass titles listed here, 96.71 percent against 96.50 to 96.52 percent. Its maximum win is x4,000 times the bet, lower than the x5,000 of four sibling titles and the x25,000 of Big Bass Splash 1000.
The game has high volatility. High volatility means wins arrive less often but can be larger when they land, and the maximum win is x4,000 times the bet. Results can swing widely between sessions, and nobody can say in advance when the free spins will start.
This game is for players aged 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or exclude yourself through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget for the session before you open the game, and treat it as the most you will spend, not a target.
Decide the point where you stop before the first spin, and keep to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits on your account before playing, because a limit only protects you if it is in place before the first spin.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun. If the urge to keep spinning remains, self-exclude rather than waiting for a better session.
