Reels here turn on a fishing trip: a rod, a lure, a dragonfly and five fish fill a five by three grid over ten paylines. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and two matching symbols open a paying line on the higher symbols. Standard symbols carry the base game, and a round ends when the reels settle with nothing matching on a line.
Other Pragmatic Play releases rarely hand one wild the job of collecting. In the free spins, the Fisherman Wild lands and gathers the money values already sitting on the reels, and a multiplier climbs each time four of them have turned up. Those multipliers lift the money symbols rather than the line wins, so a full screen of values is the shape to watch for.
Play guide
Extreme Casino lays out each step in order, so you know what comes next before you bet.
Choose a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250. Each line win scales with that stake, so A$0.50 and A$10 show how payouts change.
Base game wins form on the 5x3 grid along 10 paylines. Matching symbols must land in a row from the leftmost reel, and two of them can already pay.
The base game runs on standard pay symbols only. Fisherman Wild stays out of it, so every line win comes from the symbols themselves.
Three Scatter symbols give 10 free spins, four give 15 and five give 20. Special reels then run, and Fisherman Wild appears on every reel.
Set a session limit before the first spin. No one can know in advance how long a session will last or how the reels will fall.
Clearer before you play
These three screens show what the reels look like before you bet, and how a win is displayed.
Know the Retriggers
This block settles how each mode starts and which rules apply inside it.
3+ Scatters start it: 3 give 10 FS, 4 give 15 FS, 5 give 20 FS. Special reels run. Fisherman Wild appears on all reels and collects MONEY values. Every 4th Wild collected adds +10 FS and raises the multiplier: x2, x3, x10. Max 3 retriggers. Max win 2100x.
Base Game spinsFree spins
The round runs on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, read from left to right starting at the leftmost reel. Only the standard pay symbols appear here. Fisherman Wild does not show in the base game.
Placing a betStandard wins
Each spin lands symbols on the 5x3 reels. Return to player is the share of each A$100 staked that comes back, so single sessions vary. The version running is shown in the game rules.
| Build | RTP | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Edition 1 | 96.71% | Supported |
Each spin places symbols on the 5x3 grid, and the free spins bonus starts only when three or more Scatter symbols land. How often that happens cannot be known before you play. Past results predict nothing about the next bonus, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP shows. Two players with the same bets can finish far apart.
Every spin on the reels follows one RTP version, and the game rules are the only place that version is named. Read the rules before the first spin to see which version of Big Bass Bonanza runs in this lobby. Different versions of the series can pay back at different rates, so the label matters.
Fisherman Wild lands on all reels in the Free Spins round and collects Money symbol values as they appear. The maximum win of 2,100 times the bet is a ceiling reached very rarely. At a bet of A$10 that ceiling is A$21,000, and no session can be planned to reach it.
Play Options
At Extreme Casino the demo comes first, so the rules are clear before any money moves.

Plain answers first
Settles the four questions players ask before staking anything: demo access, free spins, volatility and the win ceiling.
The demo of Big Bass Bonanza lets you spin the 5x3 reels with play credits instead of staked money, so the free spins round and the Fisherman Wild can be watched first. Nothing in demo mode pays real money.
Three SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels open 10 free spins, four open 15 and five open 20. The special reels bring the Fisherman Wild onto every reel, and it collects the MONEY values that land with it.
Big Bass Bonanza is a high-volatility video slot, so a run of small or empty spins is normal and the larger pays tend to arrive in bursts. Stake levels suit both cautious and bolder sessions.
The ceiling of Big Bass Bonanza is 2,100 times the stake, capped at A$21,000 on an A$10 bet and A$525,000 at the A$250 limit. Most sessions finish far below that figure.
Play from 18+ only. If gambling stops being a game, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858 and BetStop takes self-exclusion requests.
Pick the stake and the total spend for the session before the first reel turns, and keep the amount where you can see it. A high-volatility slot can absorb many spins without a return.
Name a win figure and a loss figure at the start, and leave when either one is reached. A good catch is a reason to bank the result, not to raise the stake.
Deposit and loss limits inside your account hold the spend to what you chose in a calm moment. Set them before a session rather than during a losing run.
When the spins feel like a duty rather than a pastime, close the game and take a break. A pause or a BetStop self-exclusion is there for exactly that moment.
