Pragmatic Play's fishing slot uses Free Spins with wild collection to trigger retriggered rounds. RTP 96.51%, high volatility with wins up to 5,000x your stake.

Why spins can restart mid-bonus. This is a fishing-themed slot on 5 reels and 3 rows, released in August 2025 by Pragmatic Play. Ten fixed paylines run left to right across the grid. The core mechanic is Free Spins with a Reel Repeat feature that can restart your entire bonus round once it finishes, keeping all wins you've built. Random in-round events during Free Spins add extra symbols, pull in wilds, or transform what's on screen. High volatility means wins come less often but can be much bigger.
Who wins on high volatility. Big Bass Reel Repeat suits players chasing bigger payouts who can handle swings between dry and explosive rounds. The high volatility and max win of 5,000x your bet mean patient players with a decent bankroll will find the most appeal here. It's less suited to players who prefer frequent small wins or those with tight session limits. Ante Bet and bonus purchases are optional, so you can play lean or amplify your odds depending on your approach.
How the bonus round shapes your session. Free Spins define this slot. Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere to unlock 10, 15, or 20 spins. During Free Spins, a Fisherman Wild appears on all five reels and collects the value of Money symbols on screen—every fourth Wild triggers 10 extra spins with a multiplier that climbs higher by default or much higher if you pick the right card modifier. When Free Spins end, Reel Repeat can start the whole round over from the beginning without losing your total win, though it's only available if you've set Ante Bet to the highest levels or bought that option.

Five steps show you how every round of this slot plays out, from your opening bet to the final result.
How do the free spins trigger? Three, four or five Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels grant 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The Fisherman Wild lands only during this round, on all five reels, and collects the value of every Money symbol on screen when it appears. Every fourth collected Wild retriggles 10 more spins with a multiplier that climbs from 2x through 3x to 10x by default.
Your choice before the spins begin. Before each Free Spins round begins, you pick one of 12 face-down cards. Your choice reveals either regular Free Spins, More Fish to boost Money symbols on screen, Higher Multipliers that raise the ladder to 4x through 6x and 20x, a lower retrigger threshold of three collected Wilds, or Mega which combines all three upgrades into one round.
Reel Repeat: second chances on the wheel. When Ante Bet sits at 16x or 25x, or when you bought the Repeat Chance option, a chrome wheel spins at the end of your Free Spins round. A green half of the wheel grants a restart: your entire round begins again with the same number of starting spins and the same modifier odds, yet all your wins stay added to your total.
When you want to buy your way in. You can buy into Free Spins at 100 times your bet, or add a Repeat Chance for 160 times your stake. A Mega Free Spins purchase costs 1250 times your bet and comes with every modifier locked in. Ante Bet set to 15x or 25x removes the buy option from that spin.
Return to player is a long-run average calculated over a very large number of spins. The 96.51% figure below applies to standard play and to all three Buy Free Spins purchase options at any stake level.
When does the bonus land? Free Spins trigger randomly. You might see three Scatters on your first spin or after hours of play. No pattern tells you when they will appear.
This session could go either way. A session's outcome depends entirely on luck. RTP describes long-term results across thousands of spins, not what happens in your next hour.
The ceiling is rarely reached. The maximum win of NZ$3,125,000 is a ceiling, not a target. Wins of that size occur extremely rarely across all players.
The five Big Bass games range from 96.50% to 96.52% RTP, with maximum wins from 5,000x to 25,000x your stake.
You will know which way suits you and how to start your first session today.
Skip the trigger and jump straight into 10 Free Spins. At a NZ$2 bet, you pay NZ$200 to launch the round with a random Pick a Card modifier applied.
Combine the 10 Free Spins buy with Reel Repeat: if your round doesn't reach 5,000x, the chrome wheel spins to restart your spins unchanged. At NZ$2, the cost is NZ$320.
Step into 20 Free Spins with every modifier stacked: higher multipliers (4x/6x/20x), more money symbols, lower retrigger threshold at 3 collected wilds, and Reel Repeat active. At NZ$2, this costs NZ$2 500.
Raise your total bet by 2.5x to unlock two game changes: natural Free Spins triggers become more common, and Reel Repeat activates at the end of any bonus round. At NZ$2, ante play costs NZ$5 per spin.

Spend only what you planned. Decide how much you can afford to spend on Big Bass Reel Repeat before you start playing. Stick to that amount, even if you feel tempted to add more as the round progresses.
Winning is when to pause. Plan when you will stop playing, whether you are ahead or behind. A win can make you want to keep going; stepping away is what protects your balance.
What are account limits for? Use the deposit and loss limits on your account to cap what you can wager. These tools work quietly in the background and stop play when your limit is reached.
When fun becomes something else. If playing Big Bass Reel Repeat stops being enjoyable, take a break or use self-exclusion to step away. The game will still be there when you are ready to return.
