Pragmatic Play · 2025
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a high volatility 5x3 fishing slot from Pragmatic Play. This page covers its figures, modes and bonus costs before the first spin.
A 5x3 grid with a fishing theme and 10 fixed paylines, read left to right. A win needs at least two matching symbols on a payline. Fish high symbols carry random money values that show on the reels. The set holds five fishing symbols and the card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10.
Three, four or five Scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. A WILD Fisherman stays active on all five reels and collects visible money fish values on landing. Every fourth WILD on the Wild Tracker adds 10 free spins and lifts the multiplier from x2 to x3 to x10. Retriggers are capped at three and add 30 more free spins.

Game lobby1000x MONEY FISH
Base game uses a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, left to right. WILD does not appear. Fish high symbols carry random MONEY values. A near-miss with 2 Scatters can trigger a respin, with Scatters dropping one row, or a hook animation for a chance at a third Scatter.

The usual worry: not knowing how a bet turns into a win or a loss.
A$0.10 to A$375 is the total bet range, set before each spin. The tables on this page use A$0.20 and A$0.40 as examples, not as limits.
10 fixed paylines run left to right across the 5x3 grid. A win forms when matching symbols land on one of them; two matching symbols are the fewest that pay.
2 Scatters can trigger a respin, or a hook animation that may bring a third Scatter. No WILD appears in the base game, so fish symbols carry the money values.
3, 4 or 5 Scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. WILD Fisherman is active on all five reels during the bonus.
A$375 is the highest bet allowed, so set a spending limit before the first spin and stop when you reach it. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Three frames below
Useful when you want to see the bonus screens before setting a bet.
96.51 percent is the RTP of Big Bass Bonanza 1000, and that number describes the return over a very large number of spins, not one session. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of any single session is random, whatever the RTP.
The 5x3 grid of Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is offered with one listed RTP. Which RTP version runs in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, so check there first. Read that line before you set a bet, since the RTP sets the long-run return on every A$100 staked.
20,000 times the bet is the highest win this slot can pay, and it is reached very rarely. Hitting that ceiling depends on chance in the bonus features, so no player can plan around it. The figure states the limit, not what a session will return.
Two Ways In
The most common worry is spending money before knowing how the rounds run.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account at Rollxo Casino and the legal age of 18+.

You must be 18+ to play. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop.
Decide the most you can afford to lose before the first spin. Bets run from A$0.10 to A$375, so one spin can cost far more than another.
Choose your stop point before you spin, and keep it after a win. A win can tempt you to raise the bet.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before the first spin, and review them before each top-up.
When the game stops being fun, take a break from the reels. If play keeps pulling you back, self-exclude through BetStop.
Know what to expect
Answers on the top prize, the RTP and its versions, volatility, starting bets and bonus costs.
x20,000 of the bet is the maximum win on Big Bass Bonanza 1000. At the highest bet allowed, A$375, that comes to A$7,500,000. At the A$0.40 example top bet, it is A$8,000.
x20,000 is the ceiling here, against x5,000 in Big Bass Blast, Big Bass Football Bonanza, Big Bass Trophy Catch and Big Bass Raceday Repeat. Big Bass Splash 1000 reaches x25,000 at 96.52 RTP.

A$0.10 is the lowest bet, so a first session can start small and keep each spin low. The paytable is shown at A$0.20, and the highest bet allowed here is A$375.
The 5x3 grid runs at high volatility, so the size of wins can swing widely. Nobody can know in advance how often the bonus comes or how a session ends.
A$40 buys the free spins at the A$0.40 example top bet, which is 100x the bet. BUY SUPER FREE SPINS costs A$180 at that bet, 450x the bet.
