Big Bass Bonanza review: 96.71% RTP, 555,021 public bets tracked

Big Bass Bonanza is the 2020 original of Pragmatic Play’s fishing series, built in partnership with Reel Kingdom. It is a 5x3 slot where the free spins do the heavy lifting. Declared RTP is 96.71%, higher than the 1000 edition’s 96.51%.

How Big Bass Bonanza free spins work

Three, four or five scatters give 10, 15 or 20 free spins. In the bonus, the fisherman is a wild that collects the value of every fish money symbol on screen. If he lands without any fish, he can throw dynamite that turns symbols into fish.

Every fourth fisherman retriggers 10 more spins and steps up the multiplier, first 2x, then 3x, then 10x. The 10x level takes 12 fishermen in one round, so only long rounds get there.

Big Bass Bonanza vs the newer editions

Big Bass Bonanza 1000 adds money symbols up to 1,000x and a 20,000x max win at a lower 96.51%. Bigger Bass Bonanza uses a bigger 4x5 grid and caps wins at 4,000x. Big Bass Splash adds pre-bonus modifiers and a 5,000x cap.

Who Big Bass Bonanza is for

It suits players who want the simplest version of the collect bonus with a 96.71% declared RTP. If you want a bigger ceiling, the 1000 edition is the upgrade.
