Pick a bet, press spin, and watch a fishing and ocean theme on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. Wins are read from the leftmost reel to the right, and two matching symbols on a payline are enough to pay. Symbols include the Lure, Rod and Reel, Dragonfly, Tackle Box and Fish, plus the card values 10, J, Q, K and A. Bets run from A$0.10 to A$250 on the same reels.
Choose to chase the bonus, because the Fisherman Wild appears once Free Spins start. Three or more Scatter symbols trigger the round, and each Wild that lands collects Money symbol values. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 free spins and lifts the Money multiplier, with up to three retriggers. The base game uses standard symbols only, so the Wild stays out of normal spins.
Visual walkthrough
Many players wonder what the reels look like before they bet real money.
Choosing a stake means knowing the RTP: the share of money returned over time per A$100 staked. A single session can land above or below it. The version run here is in the game rules.

Know the rules
After reading, you will have followed one full round from your bet to your session limit.
Choose a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250 when you sit down. The paytable on this page uses A$2, so compare payouts at that stake.
Follow each of the 10 paylines from the leftmost reel to the right. Two matching symbols in a row pay, and only standard pay symbols count here.
Keep an eye on the Scatter, because three or more of them start the free spins. The base game uses standard pay symbols only, with no Fisherman Wild.
Land three or more Scatter symbols to start the free spins, and more Scatter symbols give more spins. Fisherman Wild then appears on every reel and collects MONEY symbol values.
Decide before the first spin how much you will stake and when you will stop. Volatility is high, so results can swing sharply.
Before the bonus triggers
At Gwin77 Casino we list every bonus rule so you know the terms before you play.
Three or more Scatter start the Free Spins. 3 Scatter gives 10 spins, 4 gives 15 and 5 gives 20. Fisherman Wild lands on every reel and collects Money values. Each 4th Wild adds 10 spins and raises the Money multiplier to x2, x3 and x10. Max 3 retriggers.
Base gameExtra spins
Choose a bet and spin the 5x3 grid. Wins run across 10 paylines, left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Only the standard pay symbols appear here, so Fisherman Wild stays out of the base game.
Game startStandard wins
Before you pick a bet, know that nobody can say how often the bonus round arrives in Big Bass Bonanza. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. The RTP describes the long run across many players, not the next hour at your table.
Before you rely on any return figure, check which RTP version Gwin77 Casino runs for this game. That version is shown only in the game rules, so read them rather than trusting a number from memory. Once you have it, you know exactly which return figure applies to your play.
Before you plan around the largest prize, keep in mind that the maximum win is a ceiling. Few rounds reach it, and nobody can say when one will. The ceiling is the most the game can pay for a bet, not a sum you can expect.

Game facts
Useful before your first bet, once you want clear answers on free spins and RTP.
Land three or more Scatter symbols on the grid to start free spins. Three Scatters give 10 free spins, four give 15 and five give 20. During free spins, Fisherman Wild appears on all reels and collects the Money symbol values it lands on.
Big Bass Bonanza has high volatility. Wins tend to be less frequent but can be larger, so a session can go a long time without a big return. The maximum win is 2100x the bet, or A$21,000 at a bet of A$10.
The single RTP version of this slot is 96.71%. RTP is a long-run average over very many rounds, so it says nothing about one session. Returns for one session can differ widely from that average.
Five other versions share this series. Of them, this one has the highest RTP at 96.71%, while its maximum win of 2100x sits below the 5000x of four others and the 25000x of Big Bass Splash 1000. Pick the balance of RTP and top win that suits you.
