Pragmatic Play's fishing-themed slot with free spins and cash-collecting wilds, returning 96.71% across the long run with high volatility that delivers bigger wins less often.

A five-reel fishing adventure. Bigger Bass Bonanza is a fishing-themed slot with five reels across four rows, played on 12 fixed paylines that read left to right from the leftmost reel. Released by Pragmatic Play in 2021, it combines the relaxed setting of a fishing adventure with high volatility gameplay, meaning wins arrive less often but can be substantially larger. The base game features money-valued fish symbols and regular symbols that pay according to the paytable, anchored by the fisherman wild and scatter symbols that trigger the bonus round.
Who this game is for. This slot suits players who can handle longer spells without wins and prefer the chance of bigger payouts over frequent small ones. High volatility games demand a bankroll that covers dry runs, so you'll need patience and bets you can sustain. At bets ranging from £0.12 to £5, Bigger Bass Bonanza appeals to cautious players dipping in at the lower end and experienced players backing their sessions with higher stakes. It is less suited to players seeking steady, regular wins or those playing on tight budgets.
Trigger free spins: scatter rules. Free Spins reshape how a round plays. Land three, four or five scatters in the base game to trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively. During free spins, the fisherman wild appears only here, substitutes for all symbols except scatters, and crucially collects the cash values of all money symbols on screen when it lands. Every fourth wild collected retriggers an additional 10 spins with a multiplier applied to money collection, stacking up to three times. The round's total win is capped at 4000 times your bet.

The five games in this series range from 96.50% to 96.71% RTP, with maximum wins of 5000x or 25000x bet depending on the title.
Bigger Bass Bonanza bonus timing is unpredictable. The scatter lands on its own schedule, not yours. When the bonus round arrives depends entirely on chance during your play, so you cannot plan around when free spins will start.
Your session result sits apart from the RTP. The RTP describes long-term results across thousands of spins; your session result is random regardless. One bet may win big, the next may not win at all, and neither contradicts the return figure.
When the ceiling comes down: rare and random. The maximum win of 4000x your bet is a ceiling reached extremely rarely, not a target. Knowing the ceiling exists does not mean it will appear in your play or anyone else's.
You can stake up to £5 per spin on Bigger Bass Bonanza. At that maximum bet, your largest possible win is £20,000.
Autoplay is not available when you play Bigger Bass Bonanza. You place each bet and spin the reels by hand.
RTP is a long-run average calculated over a very large number of spins. The 96.71% figure shown here applies to the standard game and describes what you'd see across thousands of rounds, not in a single session.
