Big Bass Bonanza at a glance
The usual worry is misreading RTP, volatility or the win cap before the first bet.

Five reels and three rows make up the grid, and a win forms along one of ten paylines running left to right from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols on a payline are enough to pay. The theme is fishing and ocean, and the base game uses the standard pay symbols only. Big Bass Bonanza is a video slot, and its core is the paylines.
Three or more Scatter symbols start the Free Spins, and in that mode Fisherman Wild lands on every reel and collects the values of the Money symbols it lands on. Each fourth Wild collected adds spins and steps up the Money multiplier, with three retriggers allowed. Multiplier and Money Collect set this slot apart from the rest of the Pragmatic Play range.

Big Bass Bonanza paylines
You see how one round runs, from the chosen bet to the final payout, before you spin.
Nothing moves on the reels until you choose a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250. Each spin is charged at that stake, so A$0.20 and A$10 are only examples here.
Symbols land across the 5x3 grid and pay along 10 paylines, read left to right from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols on a line can already pay.
Only standard pay symbols land on the 5x3 grid in base game, so Fisherman Wild, Money Collect and the Multiplier stay out until Free Spins begin. Scatter is the only feature that can appear on these reels.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols land on the grid and start 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Special reels then activate, and Fisherman Wild appears on every reel.
Every spin is charged at the bet you chose, so the amount staked climbs with each spin. Set your own limit before the first spin and stop once you reach it.
Three entry levels
At Star Casino, we set out each bonus rule in plain terms before you play.
Three, four or five Scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Special reels bring Fisherman Wild onto every reel, collecting MONEY symbol values as they land. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 FS, and the MONEY multiplier steps up to x2, x3 and x10 across three retriggers.
Base game ScattersFree spin rounds
Each spin lands symbols on the 5x3 grid, and wins run across 10 paylines from the leftmost reel, left to right. Only standard pay symbols appear here, and Fisherman Wild stays out of the base game.
Placing your betStandard line wins
Each A$100 staked on the reels returns, over a long run, the percentage shown as RTP. Single sessions can end above or below it. The version Star Casino runs appears in the game rules.

Practise without stakes
Star Casino opens the demo first, so you know the reels before staking
Every spin in the demo costs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Star Casino and you must be 18 or older.
Start playingEvery spin on the 5x3 grid starts from a fresh set of reel positions. How often the Free Spins round arrives is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP, so a long run of dead spins says nothing about the next one. Nobody can plan the moment the bonus will land on the screen.
Every spin on the reels runs under one RTP version, and the game rules are where that version is named. Read the rules before you stake, because this page only summarises them. Check the rules panel to confirm which version applies to your session.
Reels that line up the best combination can reach the ceiling in the figures, yet the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. It takes a rare run of features landing together, and no spin is guaranteed to pay that high. Treat the top figure as a limit on the game, not a target for any session.

Player questions
Star Casino puts the rules and the numbers on the table before any stake goes down.
Big Bass Bonanza has an RTP of 96.71 per cent, and this is the only RTP version listed for it. RTP is the share of staked money returned to players over a very long run, so it says nothing about any single session.
Read how the base game and the free spins work before you bet real money. The lowest stake is A$0.10, so you can watch how the rounds pace at a small cost per spin.
Big Bass Bonanza accepts bets from A$0.10 up to A$250 per spin. The paytable on this page uses the A$0.20 bet as its reference, and A$10 is the top example bet, so every payout scales with the stake you pick.
This slot runs a higher RTP than its series siblings, 96.71 per cent against 96.50 to 96.52 per cent. Its 2,100 times maximum win sits below the 5,000 times of four titles and the 25,000 times of Big Bass Splash 1000.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols start the free spins, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins. In the free spins, Fisherman Wild appears on every reel and collects Money symbol values. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 spins and raises the Money multiplier, up to three retriggers.
The maximum win is 2,100 times the bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$21,000, and at the A$250 top bet it reaches A$525,000. Nobody can know in advance when that size of win will land.
This game is for players aged 18+. Get help on the National Gambling Helpline, 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose before the session and stop there. A fixed budget keeps every spin in your control.
Set your stop point before the first spin and keep it after a win too. A win is no reason to raise your bet.
If your account offers deposit and loss limits, set them before you start playing this slot. A limit set in advance holds when a session drags on.
When the game stops being fun, step away and take a pause. Stepping back is always an option, even partway through a session.
