Twenty symbols sit on five reels and three rows, themed around a fishing trip on the water, and wins pay along 10 fixed lines running from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols are enough for the lowest-paying card icons to pay, while the bigger catches need three or more. The base game is straight line-play; the fisherman wild only shows up once free spins begin.
Reel Kingdom built a set of features around the Free Spins round: money symbols, a collecting wild, and retriggers that step the multiplier up. Spins can also be extended past the initial award, which keeps the bonus going longer than a single burst of free games.
More spins, bigger multipliers
At Ubet Casino we lay out every bonus rule in plain terms.
3+ scatters start free spins: 3 give 10, 4 give 15, 5 give 20 spins. On special reels, Fisherman Wild lands on every reel and collects MONEY values. Every 4th Wild adds 10 spins and lifts the MONEY multiplier to x2, x3 and x10. Max 3 retriggers.
Base game spinsMore spins, multipliers
10 paylines run left to right from the leftmost reel on a 5x3 grid. Fisherman Wild stays out of the base game, where only standard pay symbols land.

Before first spin
The usual doubt before a first session: where does one round start and end?
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250 before the first spin. The example bets on this page are A$0.40, A$2 and A$5. Each spin uses the bet you set.
Wins pay left to right on 10 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. The Fisherman Wild does not appear in the base game, only standard pay symbols do.
The base game runs on standard pay symbols alone. Three or more Scatter symbols trigger the free spins, where Money Collect and the Multiplier come into play.
Three, four or five Scatters start the free spins, with more spins for each extra one. From then on, the Fisherman Wild appears on all reels and collects MONEY symbol values.
Set your limit before the first spin, since each spin takes the bet from your balance. Stop there, or call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Big Bass Bonanza demo
Useful before the first spin, when you want to see how the rounds feel.
The demo of Big Bass Bonanza needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an Ubet Casino account and you must be 18 or older.
Play real money96.71% is the RTP of Big Bass Bonanza, a long-run average over a very large number of spins. It says nothing about how often the free spins round comes, and no one can know that in advance. The result of one session is random, so two players with the same bet can finish with very different balances. Nothing in the RTP shows where one session will land.
96.71% RTP is listed on this page, but which version is live here is shown only in the game rules. Versions of the same series can carry different percentages, so read the rules before you play. The version named there is the one that applies to your session.
A$250 is the highest bet allowed on this game. The maximum win of Big Bass Bonanza is a ceiling reached very rarely, not a target for any session. Reaching it depends on luck, and a higher bet only raises the money involved.

This slot is for adults aged 18 and over only. Free and confidential support in Australia is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 and through BetStop.
Decide what this slot costs you before the first spin, at a stake you can lose without changing your week. A$5 a spin is this page's top example, not a target.
High volatility means hot streaks arrive and vanish without warning, so fix a stop point in advance. Winning rounds count too: a big hit is a reason to stop, not to extend.
Deposit and loss limits on this account hold the line where a hot run cannot talk you past it. Set them before you spin, and keep the loss ceiling separate from the deposit one.
When a spin stops being entertainment, pause the account or exclude through BetStop. A break costs nothing; a session played to prove a point always does.
Big Bass Bonanza Basics
Ubet Casino puts the verified figures on the table first, so each spin starts with clear expectations.
Big Bass Bonanza is the 2020 original from Reel Kingdom: 5x3 reels, 10 paylines and a maximum win of x2,100. Later entries in the series run higher maximum wins, up to x25,000. This is the plainest version of the formula.
Big Bass Bonanza runs in demo mode here before any real-money stake, using the same reels, paylines and free spins rules. Nothing about a practice round differs from a paid one except the money on it.
One RTP version exists for Big Bass Bonanza: 96.71%. Over A$100 staked across the long run, that figure returns A$96.71 in prizes. A single session never has to land on it.
Bets on Big Bass Bonanza start at A$0.10 and climb to A$250, the highest stake allowed here. The paytable on this page uses A$0.40 as its reference, and the top stake carries a maximum win of A$525,000.
High volatility is the setting for Big Bass Bonanza, so dry spells between paying symbols run longer than on low-volatility reels. Payouts arrive less often and larger when they come, which suits a stake you can hold steady.
