Pragmatic Play · 2025
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a high volatility 5x3 fishing slot by Pragmatic Play. Its figures, paytable and bonus rules come before your first spin.
A 5x3 grid in a fishing theme. Fishing Bobber, Dragonfly, Fishing Rod and Tackle Box sit among the card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10. Ten fixed paylines run from left to right, and a win needs 2 matching symbols on one line. Fish high symbols show random money values on the reels. High volatility means wins come less often but can be bigger, so no one can predict how a session goes.
3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Wild Fisherman is active on all five reels, and every landed Wild collects the visible money fish values. Every fourth Wild on the Wild Tracker adds 10 free spins with a multiplier that climbs from x2 to x3 and then x10. Up to 3 retriggers add 30 more spins.

Three Modes Explained
Useful once Scatters start landing and you want to know what each trigger gives.
3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. WILD Fisherman is active on all 5 reels, and each landing WILD collects every visible MONEY FISH value at once. Up to 3 retriggers add 30 more spins.
Base game ScattersExtra free spins
15 spins at 450x total bet, with a significantly enhanced chance of a 1000x MONEY FISH value on the reels. WILD Fisherman collects MONEY FISH values as in regular Free Spins. Every 4th WILD on the Wild Tracker adds 10 spins with a multiplier of x2, then x3, then x10.
Base gameEnhanced 1000x chance
A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, read left to right. WILD does not appear here, while Fish high symbols show random MONEY values. A near miss of two Scatters randomly starts a respin, with Scatters dropping one row, or a hook animation for a chance at a third Scatter.

Five steps, one round
Unsure what counts as a win or when the bonus starts? Each step below answers it.
A$0.10 is the smallest stake and A$375 the largest. Every payout scales with the stake you pick, so the same symbol pays more at A$10 than at A$1.
5x3 grid, 10 fixed paylines read left to right. WILD does not appear in the base game. Fish high symbols show money values, and two matching symbols on a line pay.
2 Scatters in a near miss can trigger a respin, with the Scatters dropping one row. A hook animation can also play, offering a chance at a third Scatter.
3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins on special reels. WILD Fisherman is active on all 5 reels.
A$10 per spin is the example bet here. Set the session limit before the first spin, because the result of a session cannot be known in advance.
Big Bass Bonanza 1000
Playcroco keeps each screen in the game's own terms, so nothing is relabelled.
Two ways to play
You will have compared the free demo with the real game before staking any money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Playcroco Casino account and the legal age, 18+.
Play nowThe 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines does not reveal when the Free Spins come, so their frequency is not known in advance. The 96.51 RTP describes the long-run return, but the result of one session is random whatever that RTP is. Nobody can call the next Scatter trigger, even after a long run of near misses.
96.51 percent is the RTP of Big Bass Bonanza 1000, stated per A$100 staked. Which RTP version Playcroco Casino runs is shown only in the game rules, and that version can differ from the one this page quotes.
x20,000 is the maximum win of Big Bass Bonanza 1000, a ceiling reached very rarely. At the A$10 example bet that ceiling is A$200,000, and at the A$375 maximum bet it is A$7,500,000. A cap like this tells you the upper limit, not what a session pays.
Right before you spin
After reading, you will know the bonus triggers, costs, RTP and bets before you spin.
Three, four or five Scatters trigger free spins, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins on special reels. In the free spins, WILD Fisherman is active on all five reels, and landing WILD collects every visible MONEY FISH value at once.
The bonus can be bought: BUY FREE SPINS costs A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet, which is 100 times the bet. BUY SUPER FREE SPINS costs 450 times the bet, or A$4,500 at A$10, for 15 spins with a higher chance of 1000x MONEY FISH values.
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 has an RTP of 96.51%, calculated on A$100 staked. Other titles in the series, such as Big Bass Splash 1000, carry RTPs between 96.50% and 96.52%. It says nothing about the result of one session.
The maximum win is 20,000 times the bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$200,000, and at the highest bet of A$375 it can reach A$7,500,000. How often such a win happens cannot be known before play.
Start by reading the rules: the grid is 5x3 with 10 fixed paylines, and the Base Game has no WILD. The minimum bet is A$0.10, so the first rounds can be played at the lowest stake available.
Bets run from A$0.10 to A$375 per spin. The A$1 and A$10 bets used on this page are examples, not limits. A higher bet raises the money value of every win and the price of each bonus buy.

Decide the amount you can lose before spinning, and stop when it is gone. A single bonus buy can use up that amount at once.
Choose your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it after a win as well, since the next spin is a new round.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before the first session. Limits cap what you can spend; they do not change the outcome of a spin.
Take a break when the game stops being fun, and register with BetStop if stopping feels hard.
