Pragmatic Play · 2021
A high volatility fishing slot from Pragmatic Play, Bigger Bass Bonanza runs on a 5x4 grid with 12 fixed paylines. Here is how a round plays out.
The demo is free to try. The real game needs an account, and you must be 18+ to join.
Five reels by four rows, a 5x4 grid with 12 fixed paylines, make up Bigger Bass Bonanza, a fishing-themed video slot. Wins run left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, so small wins are possible too. Money-valued fish and the regular symbols both pay from the paytable.
Three, four or five scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and the fisherman appears only during those spins. He is a wild that replaces every symbol except the scatter. When he lands, he collects the cash values of money symbols on screen. Every fourth collected wild adds 10 spins with a x2, x3 or x10 money collection multiplier, up to three retriggers.

Handy at the moment you wonder how the bonus looks before you choose a bet.
Bonus round
Not knowing when free spins begin, or what the fisherman WILD does to your win.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols give 10, 15 or 20 spins. The fisherman WILD, which appears only here, substitutes for all but SCATTER and collects cash values of MONEY symbols on screen. Every 4th collected WILD retriggers 10 spins at x2, x3 or x10 MONEY-collection multiplier, max 3 retriggers.
Base gameFree spins

Placing a betPaying symbols
Clear path, no guesswork
Fiz Casino shows every step before you bet, so each round feels clear and calm.
A$0.12 is the smallest bet and A$240 the largest, so you pick a stake that fits your budget before the reels start. Each round is paid at the bet you set.
12 fixed paylines run left to right across the 5x4 grid, starting on the leftmost reel. A win needs at least 2 matching symbols on adjacent reels.
12 paylines carry the base game, where MONEY fish and regular symbols pay per the paytable. The Wild, Money Collect and the multipliers only appear in the free spins.
3 SCATTER symbols start 10 free spins, 4 start 15 and 5 start 20, and the fisherman WILD appears only in that bonus.
A$240 is the top bet, so set a budget and time limit before the first spin. Stop when the budget is spent. The National Gambling Helpline is 1800 858 858.
96.71% means the game returns A$96.71 for every A$100 staked, measured over a very large number of spins. Single sessions vary widely. The version Fiz Casino runs is shown in the game rules.

A 5x4 grid with 12 fixed paylines still leaves one question open: how often the bonus round arrives. Nobody can know that in advance, and the result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. The volatility is high, so the spread between sessions can be wide.
The RTP of 96.71 percent shown on this page is the one listed for Bigger Bass Bonanza. Which RTP version Fiz Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, so read them before you play. An RTP describes the long run, not the result of your next session.
4,000 times the bet is the most a round can pay in Bigger Bass Bonanza, and the game reaches it very rarely. At A$1, the example top bet on this page, that ceiling is A$4,000. It is a limit on the round, not a promise.
Demo mode
At Fiz Casino, you can try the game first and choose later whether to play for cash.
A$0.12 is the lowest real bet, while the demo needs no money and pays nothing. Real play needs a Fiz Casino account and the legal age of 18.
Play for realFind your next pick
Useful once you have seen this slot and want to compare what else the lobby offers.
Only players aged 18+ can play. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop lets you self-exclude.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open the game, and keep that amount separate from everyday money.
Set the point where you stop before the first spin, and hold to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you start, so the amounts you can put in are fixed in advance.
If the game stops feeling fun, take a pause and come back later, or ask for a longer break through self-exclusion.
Before you press play
Useful before your first stake, when you want the bets and free spins explained simply.
96.71% is the RTP of Bigger Bass Bonanza, so the game returns A$96.71 for every A$100 staked across very long play. Only one RTP version runs on this slot. The figure says nothing about the result of one session, which no one can predict.
High volatility means wins can sit far apart, so long stretches without a big hit are part of how this game plays. Bigger wins are possible in bursts, and free spin multipliers can reach x10. No one can know in advance when a big win will land.
A$0.12 is the lowest bet and A$240 is the highest, which covers a wide range of stakes. The examples on this page use A$0.20, A$0.40 and A$1, with the paytable at A$0.20.
x4,000 is the most a round can pay, which is 4,000 times the bet. At A$1 that is A$4,000, and at the highest bet of A$240 it reaches A$960,000. Round wins stop at that cap, however many retriggers land.
5x4 reels carry 12 fixed paylines, read left to right from the leftmost reel. Start at the lowest stake of A$0.12 to learn the rules with the least money at risk.
96.52% is the RTP of Big Bass Splash 1000, against 96.71% here, and its maximum win is x25,000 compared with x4,000 on this slot. Each title in the series carries its own RTP and maximum win, so check both before you pick one.
