Pragmatic Play · 2025
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a high volatility fishing video slot by Pragmatic Play. This page covers its figures, modes, costs and limits.
Demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Reels spin on a 5x3 grid with a fishing theme. A win pays on one of 10 fixed paylines, read from left to right, and as few as 2 matching symbols can make a line. The fish high symbols carry money values that you see on the reels. The base game does not show a WILD, so the wild fisherman only comes in with the free spins.
Three, four or five Scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. The WILD Fisherman is active on all 5 reels, and each landed WILD collects every visible money fish value at once. The Wild Tracker above the reels counts WILDs, and every fourth one adds 10 spins with a multiplier that climbs from x2 to x3 to x10.

Once the scatters land
Many players are unsure how the bonus starts and how many spins it gives.
Three, four or five Scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. WILD Fisherman is active on all 5 reels and collects every visible MONEY FISH value. Every 4th WILD triggers a Wild Tracker milestone: 10 spins, with multipliers x2, x3, then x10. Up to 3 retriggers add 30 more.
Base gameFree spins
15 spins run on the reels at 450x total bet. A 1000x MONEY FISH value has a significantly enhanced probability of appearing. The same WILD Fisherman collection and Wild Tracker retriggers as regular Free Spins apply.
Game lobby15 spins
The 5x3 grid runs 10 fixed paylines, left to right. WILD does not appear. Fish high symbols carry random MONEY values. A near miss with two Scatters randomly triggers a respin that drops them one row, or a hook animation giving a chance at a third Scatter.

Know each spin
After this section you will know how each round runs, from bet to free spins.
Pick a bet anywhere from A$0.10 up to A$375 before the first spin. The top win is 20,000 times the bet, so a higher stake raises the ceiling as well.
The 5x3 grid has 10 fixed paylines, read from left to right. Two matching symbols on a payline can already pay, and fish symbols show money values on the reels.
The base game has no WILD. Two Scatters near three can trigger a respin, with the Scatters dropping one row, or a hook animation that gives a chance at a third.
Three, four or five Scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. Wild Fisherman is active on all five reels, and every WILD collects visible money fish values.
The reels keep spinning until you stop, so set a money limit before the first spin. Results from one spin never show the next.
Scatters land at random on the 5x3 grid, so how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Two Scatters can lead to a respin or a hook animation, and a third Scatter may or may not follow. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, so a return figure does not promise a particular outcome.
Symbols and the bonus round show on the reels, but the RTP version in play appears only in the game rules. Check the game rules before the first stake. The RTP figure in the table shows the long-run return, not what one session returns. A single session can land well above or below that figure.
A winning combination on the reels can pay up to 20,000 times the bet, which is A$40,000 at the A$2 top bet. That maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely, and a session may never come near it. Set each stake by what you can afford to lose, not by the ceiling.

Five questions answered
The worry most players bring: what the RTP and the bets mean before the first spin.
Start at the lowest bet, A$0.10 a spin, to see how the Fish symbols and free spins work. Raise the stake only after you know the rules. Playing at the lowest bet keeps the first session small.
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 has an RTP of 96.51, meaning the average return over a very large number of spins. One session can end well above or below that average. The other versions of the series sit within a narrow band of RTP values.
This slot has high volatility. Wins come less often but can be large, so a session may run for long stretches without a big hit. Neither the timing of a bonus nor the result of a session can be known in advance.
Bets run from A$0.10 to A$375 a spin. The example bets on this page, A$0.50 and A$2, are not the limits of the game. At the top bet of A$375, the maximum win is A$7,500,000.
Big Bass Splash 1000 has the highest max win in the series, 25,000 times the bet, against 20,000 times for this slot. Four of the other titles list 5,000 times the bet. All five versions sit between 96.50 and 96.52 RTP.
