Three Scatters unlock the only Fisherman on the water

The Fisherman Wild never appears in the base game; it exists only once three Scatters open the Free Spins. That single constraint shapes the whole session. Ten Lines, five reels, high volatility, and the fish symbols carry cash values from 2x to 2000x that stay out of reach until the round begins. Then each Wild sweeps every visible value, and every fourth one on the twelve-slot tracker adds ten spins and lifts the collect multiplier from x2 to x3 to x10. The 2,100x cap can cut the round short, and with no bonus buy, the wait for Scatters is the price of entry.

Base game, free spins and more

Two states share one 5x3 grid and 10 Lines, and the order matters: the base game is the only route into Free Spins, because Scatter lands there alone. What that round adds, a collecting Wild and a multiplier ladder, stays locked until the trigger fires.

Base Game

This is the state every session starts in and the only one that can end itself. Scatter appears here on all reels, and landing 3 or more is the single exit condition. Wins pay left to right across 10 Lines; the Fisherman Wild is absent, so nothing is collected until the next state begins.

Free Spins

Entry comes only from the base game's Scatter: 3 award 10 spins, 4 award 15, 5 award 20. The Fisherman Wild now lands on all reels and collects every visible Money value. Each 4th Wild on the tracker adds 10 spins and raises the Money multiplier to x2, x3, then x10, capped at 2,100x bet.

Launching the game and placing a bet

Big Bass Bonanza from Pragmatic Play drops the player into a Fishing adventure on a 5-reel grid with 10 Lines and High volatility. The objective is landing three or more Scatter symbols to enter Free Spins, where the Wild fisherman runs the Money Collect feature. Each round is one paid spin, repeated until the bonus triggers.

  1. Set the bet and spin

    Press the plus or minus button to open the bet menu and adjust the total bet. Start the round with the spin button, SPACE or ENTER; holding SPACE runs turbo spins. Wins pay left to right across 10 Lines, and three or more Scatter symbols anywhere trigger Free Spins.

  2. Collect with the Wild in Free Spins

    During Free Spins the Wild fisherman lands on all reels and performs the Money Collect, gathering every visible fish value. Every fourth Wild fills the tracker, adds more spins and raises the Multiplier, up to the 2100x cap.

How volatility shapes your session

Three settings in Big Bass Bonanza carry distinct consequences: the total bet scales every payout and the 2100x cap, autoplay commits a chosen stake to a run of spins with only SKIP SCREENS as a modifier, and the intro screen toggle affects only what displays before the first spin. Each operates on a different layer of the session.

Set the total bet before each spin

The plus and minus buttons open a bet menu where the total stake ranges from $0.10 to $250.00 per spin. Every payout scales with this figure, including Money symbol values from 2x to 2000x bet and the 2100x win cap. The bet can be changed between any two spins.

Commit a stake to autoplay

The AUTOPLAY button opens a panel where a slider sets a number of automatic spins, shown at 100 in the demo. Once started, each spin deducts the same total bet without further input. The SKIP SCREENS option auto-dismisses feature intro and end screens after a short delay. Autoplay stops when the button is pressed again.

Toggle the intro screen off

The settings menu contains an INTRO SCREEN toggle, on by default. Switching it off skips the splash overlay that appears before the game loads. This changes only what displays before the first spin; it has no documented effect on reels, payouts or feature frequency.

Our take

  • Money symbols reach 2000x and every 4th wild adds 10 spins with x2, x3, x10 collection multipliers
  • The 96.71% RTP is unusually high for a 5x3, 10-line high-volatility slot
  • No wild appears in the base game, leaving ordinary spins dependent on thin line hits
  • A hard 2100x cap stops a hot free-spins round and forfeits any spins still left

Big Bass Bonanza is for players who accept a quiet base game as the cost of one collect round that can escalate through retriggers and multipliers. The math is generous on RTP but stern on pacing, and the ceiling is low enough that the best feature can end just as it turns dangerous.
