Base Game
Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom have cast their nets once again with Big Bass Bonanza 1000, an upgraded edition of the beloved fishing-themed slot. The game retains the signature 5-reel, 3-row setup with 10 paylines, offering a familiar yet enhanced experience. Players can expect an RTP of 96.51% and very high volatility, making for thrilling gameplay. The hit frequency sits at 1 in 7.58 spins, while free spins trigger roughly once in 116 spins. Bets range from 0.10 to 375 per spin, with an optional ante bet increasing the chance of landing scatters for a higher stake.
Slot Features
Free Spins & Wild Collection
Trigger the bonus game by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. If only two scatters appear, there's a chance for a third one to be randomly pulled onto the reels.
During free spins, wild symbols collect the values of all visible money symbols (fish icons) with potential payouts up to 1,000x. Wilds are also collected, and for every fourth wild accumulated, the feature retriggers with 10 extra spins and an increasing multiplier:
- First retrigger: 2x multiplier
- Second retrigger: 3x multiplier
- Third retrigger: 10x multiplier
Random Features & Hook Animation
At the end of a free spin, fish money symbols or wilds may be randomly added to the reels via an exciting hook animation. This feature keeps players on their toes, adding extra opportunities to collect big wins.
Feature Buys
For players who prefer instant action, the game includes two buy-in options:
- Standard Free Spins – Purchase the regular bonus round for 100x the bet.
- Super Free Spins – A high-risk, high-reward option for 450x the bet, increasing the chances of landing high-value money symbols.
Conclusion
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 successfully expands on the original by cranking up the max win potential to a staggering 20,000x the bet. While the largest fish symbol is worth less than its predecessor, the increased win cap and added super free spins option give high-rollers and thrill-seekers more reasons to dive in. If you’ve ever found the original Big Bass games a bit underwhelming in their potential, this edition delivers deeper waters to explore.
Fun Fact
Despite the game’s name, the biggest possible fish symbol in Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is only worth 1,000x, whereas the original game had a 2,000x fish. However, the max win potential here is significantly higher!
