Big Bass Bonanza Review
Big Bass Bonanza started Pragmatic Play's best-known series: a 10-line fishing slot whose free spins are all about the fisherman collecting fish worth cash.
Ten lines
Five reels and three rows with 10 lines. The fish are money symbols: each takes a random value of 2×, 5×, 10×, 15×, 20×, 25×, 50× or 2,000× the total bet.
Big Bass Bonanza Features
Free spins
Three, four or five scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The fisherman wild appears only in the round and collects the value of every money fish on screen.
Retriggers
Every fourth wild collected retriggers 10 more spins and raises the collection multiplier: 2× after the first retrigger, 3× after the second and 10× after the third, after which no more retriggers are possible. When only one wild lands, extra fish can appear at random.
RTP and maximum win
The demo reports a 96.71% RTP and a 2,100× cap; Pragmatic Play's data puts the chance of hitting it at about 1 in 3.9 million rounds. Big Bass Splash is a later game in the series with a 5,000× cap.
