Pragmatic Play · 2020
Big Bass Bonanza is a 5x3 fishing video slot by Pragmatic Play with high volatility and 96.71% RTP. This page covers its figures and bonus modes.
The demo is free. Real money play needs an account and age 18+.
Five reels and three rows make up the 5x3 grid, and each spin lands a fresh set of symbols. Big Bass Bonanza is a fishing game with an ocean theme, and the base game pays on 10 paylines read from left to right, starting at the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols on an active payline are enough for a win, so the paylines decide where wins form.
Three or more Scatter symbols on the reels start the Free Spins round, where Fisherman Wild appears on all reels. Each Wild collects the Money symbol values it lands on, and every fourth Wild collected adds spins and raises the Money multiplier. Up to three retriggers can follow, which caps the round, but how often it arrives cannot be known in advance.

Win more rounds
This block removes the worry about how a round changes once the free spins begin.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Special reels run, and Fisherman Wild appears on every reel, collecting MONEY values as they land. Each fourth Wild collected adds 10 spins and steps the multiplier through x2, x3 and x10, up to three retriggers.
Base gameFree spins
Each spin lands on a 5x3 grid, and wins run left to right across 10 paylines starting from the leftmost reel. Only standard pay symbols appear here, so Fisherman Wild stays out of the base game.

Before the first bet
Ozwin Casino shows each step in the order the reels resolve, from first bet to last credit.
Every spin is charged at the bet you set, from A$0.10 up to A$250. This page uses A$2 and A$10 as examples, so each payout shown scales with your bet.
10 paylines run left to right from the leftmost reel, and a line pays when two or more matching symbols land in a row.
Only standard pay symbols land in the base game, so Fisherman Wild stays out of play.
Three Scatter symbols give 10 Free Spins, four give 15 and five give 20. Special reels are active, and Fisherman Wild lands on all reels.
The reels never show what comes next, so set a session limit before the first spin. Stop at that limit, even during a Free Spins run.
Big Bass Bonanza Trial
Sets out what the Big Bass Bonanza demo covers and what needs an account.
The demo spins the reels on play credits, needs no deposit and pays nothing. The real game needs an account and is for players aged 18 or over.
Start playingEach spin lands symbols on a 5x3 grid, and three or more Scatter symbols start the free spins. How often that happens cannot be known in advance. One session may bring no free spins at all or several rounds of them, and its result is random whatever the RTP.
The reels stop on a 5x3 grid after every spin, and the long-run return follows from the RTP version the game runs. Ozwin Casino shows which RTP version runs only in the game rules. Check those rules before you compare this slot with another one.
Symbols on the reels can line up for a payout up to 2,100 times the bet, which is the maximum win for Big Bass Bonanza. That ceiling is reached very rarely, and no session can be planned around it. Read the maximum win as a limit on the payout, not as an expected result.
Deciding what to play
Worry about a wrong pick is common, so each review explains its own rules.
The legal age to play is 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and self-exclusion runs through BetStop.
Decide the most you can afford to lose before the first spin. Keep the session within that sum, whatever the reels show.
Choose the point to stop before you start, and hold to it after a big win too. A win does not change the budget you set.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before the first session. Each limit holds you to a figure chosen before play, not during a losing run.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop. Stepping away is a choice, not a failure.
Six questions answered
Read this before you load the game or set your first bet.
Three or more SCATTER symbols in the base game start the free spins, and landing more scatters adds more spins. Once the free spins begin, Fisherman Wild appears on all reels and collects the MONEY symbol values it lands on.
Stakes run from A$0.10 to A$250 a spin. The paytable uses A$2 as its reference bet, and the money examples on this page also show A$10.
Before the first bet, the paytable shows what each symbol pays at A$2, and the base game and free spins rules explain how a round runs. Bets start at A$0.10, so the first sessions can be run at the smallest stake.
Big Bass Bonanza has one RTP, 96.71 percent. The money values on this page use A$100 staked as their basis, so they show what that figure means per stake. Other titles in the series carry their own RTP, so compare each on its own figure.
The top win is 2,100 times the bet. At the highest stake of A$250 that comes to A$525,000, while the example bet of A$10 gives a top win of A$21,000. Whether a session reaches it cannot be known in advance.
The slot has high volatility. High volatility means wins are less frequent and can be larger when they land. How often the free spins or the big wins come cannot be known in advance.
