I’m not a fisherman myself, but Bob the Beaver really enjoys this relaxing pastime – and the games inspired by it. So this is one of his favourites. Big Bass Bonanza is a fishing slot from Pragmatic Play, built with the Reel Kingdom studio and released in December 2020. It runs on 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines. The sources we checked give the RTP as 96.71% and the maximum win as 2,100x the stake.
The base game is plain. You spin, match symbols on the paylines, and wait for three or more bass scatters. Three give 10 free spins, four give 15, five give 20.
The free spins are where the game changes. The fisherman wild only shows up in this round. Fish symbols carry cash values, and a fisherman landing with them collects the lot. Every four fishermen collected add 10 spins, and the fish values are multiplied by 2, then 3, then up to 10.
Volatility depends on who you ask. Sources call it high, medium-high or medium, and we could not confirm the studio’s own rating. [Inference] The structure suggests quiet stretches in the base game, with most of the win potential sitting in the bonus.
Bets run from 0.10 to 250 per spin. The demo uses play credits, so nothing real is at stake.
