How Big Bass Bonanza Works
Big Bass Bonanza is a 5-reel, 10-payline slot from Pragmatic Play. The theme is bass fishing — but the mechanics are anything but simple. The core innovation is the money symbol collection system in the bonus round.
Base Game
Spin 5 reels on 10 fixed paylines. Fish symbols (money symbols) appear with random cash values. When the fisherman wild lands, he walks across the row collecting all money symbols in line — adding their values to your win.
Free Spins Trigger
4+ scatter symbols (gold fishing rods) anywhere on the 5 reels trigger the bonus: 10 free spins. During free spins, money symbol values are doubled — and the fisherman wild collects every single one. This is where massive wins happen.
The 2,100x Cap
The maximum single win is 2,100x your stake. On a A$5 bet that’s A$10,500. On A$20 it’s A$42,000. This is hit by filling the reels with high-value money symbols collected by fisherman wilds in free spins.
Payouts below are per 5 matching symbols on a payline × your bet per line. Multiply by your lines to get total win.

💡 Money symbols (fish with $ values) don’t pay via paylines — they’re collected by the Fisherman Wild. Their cash values can be 1x–100x your stake each.
🌀 Bonus Round
Free Spins — The Fishing Trip That Pays
The free spins round is where Big Bass Bonanza earns its reputation. The fisherman becomes stickier, money symbol values double, and every collection adds straight to your win.

Why This Bonus Round Stands Out
✓ Every Fisherman Wild collects all money symbols on screen — not just in one row. One wild can collect 10+ fish in a single move.
✓ Money symbols that land off-payline still count — the wild picks them up regardless of position.
✓ Retrigger is unlimited — Australian players have reported 50+ free spins in a single bonus via consecutive retriggering.
✓ No base-game multipliers to wait for — the bonus pays in cold hard cash from the first spin.

Top questions from Australian players at Avantgarde Casino.
▶ What is the RTP of Big Bass Bonanza?
Big Bass Bonanza has an RTP of 96.71% — higher than most high-volatility pokies including Gates of Olympus (96.5%) and Sweet Bonanza (96.48%). Avantgarde Casino runs the game at the full certified rate with no reductions.
▶ How do I trigger free spins?
Land 4 or more gold fishing rod scatter symbols anywhere on the 5 reels during a single spin. 4 scatters = 10 free spins. 5 scatters = 15 free spins. During free spins, land 3+ more scatters to retrigger for another 10 spins — there’s no limit to how many times you can retrigger.
▶ What is a money symbol and how does the Fisherman Wild collect it?
Money symbols are fish that appear on the reels with a cash value printed on them (ranging from 1x to 100x your stake). They can land anywhere on the grid. When a Fisherman Wild appears, he walks across all positions in his row or column, collecting every money symbol on screen and adding their total cash value to your win — regardless of where they landed.
▶ Is Big Bass Bonanza available on mobile at Avantgarde Casino?
Yes, fully. Avantgarde Casino runs as a PWA — open the site in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android), add to your home screen, and Big Bass Bonanza plays exactly like a native app. All animations, autoplay, and features work on mobile with no download required.
▶ Can I use the welcome bonus to play Big Bass Bonanza?
Yes. Avantgarde Casino’s 400% welcome bonus can be used on Big Bass Bonanza. This means a A$50 deposit gives you A$250 to play with — 5x more spins to chase the bonus round. Check the bonus terms in your account for the exact wagering contribution rate of this specific game.
