Pragmatic Play · 2020
Big Bass Bonanza is a high volatility fishing slot on a 5x3 grid made by Pragmatic Play. This page covers its figures, bonus modes and payouts.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and players must be 18+.
10 paylines cross a 5x3 grid in Big Bass Bonanza, a video slot with a fishing and ocean theme. Wins are read from the leftmost reel toward the right, and two matching symbols on a payline are enough to pay. In the base game only the standard pay symbols land, so each spin reads as a plain line check. The symbols carry names like Lure and Tackle Box.
3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols open 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. The Fisherman Wild, which appears only in Free Spins, lands on every reel and collects the values of Money symbols. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 spins and lifts the Money multiplier: x2 after the first retrigger, x3 after the second and x10 after the third. Retriggers end after the third.

3 scatters give 10 free spins, 4 give 15 and 5 give 20 free spins. Fisherman Wild then lands on every reel and collects Money values. Every fourth Wild adds 10 free spins and lifts the multiplier to x2, x3, then x10, for 3 retriggers. Max win 2100x.

Every A$100 staked returns, on average over many spins, the percentage set by the RTP version. Single sessions can land above or below that. Neospin shows the version it runs in the game rules.

While the reels spin
Neospin shows each screen as the game draws it, so you know what you are looking at.
Right before you spin
You will have followed one round from bet to payout and set your limit.
Choose a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250 before you press spin. Every win scales with the stake, so a smaller bet keeps each spin cheap.
Ten paylines run from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel. Two matching pay symbols in a row on a line can already pay.
The base game uses standard pay symbols only, so the Fisherman Wild stays out of the reels until the bonus. Scatter is the feature that opens the bonus.
Three Scatter symbols give 10 Free Spins, four give 15 and five give 20. The Fisherman Wild then appears on all reels and collects the values of MONEY symbols.
Set your limit before the first spin and keep to it, whatever the reels have paid. Nobody can know in advance how a session will go.
5x3 is the grid, and 10 paylines run from the leftmost reel, but how often the free spins arrive cannot be known in advance. The RTP of 96.71 describes the return over a very large number of spins, not what one session will bring. Each spin is random, so a session can finish well above or well below the amount staked.
96.71 is the RTP this page describes. Which version Neospin Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play. Other versions in the series sit between 96.50 and 96.52, and the table below lists them.
x2,100 of the bet is the ceiling, which equals A$525,000 at the A$250 maximum bet. The ceiling is reached very rarely, so no player can count on it. Treat it as a figure to read, not as a plan for the session.
Players must be 18+ to play Big Bass Bonanza. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and keep that money apart from bills.
Set your stopping point before you play, and keep to it even after a win, because a win does not change the odds of the next spin.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account to cap what you can put in and lose over a set period.
If the game stops being fun, take a break, and keep going only while it is still enjoyable. Self-exclusion is an option when breaks stop helping.
Player questions
The most common worry is how much each spin costs, so the answers start with the stake.
The lowest stake is A$0.10 and the highest is A$250. The examples on this page use A$1 and A$10, and they are not the limits.
The maximum win is 2,100 times the bet. At the A$10 example bet that comes to A$21,000, and at the A$250 highest bet it reaches A$525,000.
Yes, you can test the rules at low stakes. Start at the minimum bet of A$0.10, and read the paytable, which is shown at A$1, before you raise the stake.
The RTP is 96.71%, meaning about A$96.71 returns for every A$100 staked over a very long run, and no single session follows that average. The other series versions run between 96.50% and 96.52%, so the choice between them changes little on paper.
