Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a fishing-themed 5x3 video slot with 10 fixed paylines and high volatility. The page covers figures, round flow, bonus modes and costs.
Choose this slot if you want a fishing game on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, read from left to right. A win needs only two matching symbols, the fewest this game allows. Fish high symbols carry random money values, and those values are visible on the reels.
Pick this slot if the bonus round is what you want most. Three, four or five Scatter symbols start 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. Wild Fisherman covers all five reels, and each landed WILD collects every visible money fish. Every fourth WILD on the Wild Tracker adds 10 free spins with a multiplier climbing from x2 to x3 and then x10.

Where the big hauls sit
Nothing here asks you to read the reels alone: the Scatters decide, and the Fisherman does the rest.
3/4/5 Scatter triggers 10/15/20 FS on special reels. WILD Fisherman sits on all 5 reels and collects every visible MONEY FISH value at once, while the Wild Tracker adds +10 FS with multipliers of x2, x3 then x10.
Base gameCollected fish money
15 spins bought at 450x total bet, with a significantly enhanced probability of a 1000x MONEY FISH value turning up. Collection and the Wild Tracker retriggers at x2, x3 and x10 work exactly as in regular Free Spins.
Bonus menuThicker fish values
5x3 grid, 10 fixed paylines left to right, no WILD on the reels and random MONEY values on the fish. A two-Scatter near miss can respin or hook an animation for a shot at the third.

The worry removed here: not knowing what each spin costs before you start.
Choose a bet from A$0.10 up to A$375 before the first spin. The examples on this page use A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$5, and the highest win is 20,000 times the bet.
Scan the 5x3 grid for matches on the 10 fixed paylines, which run left to right. Two matching symbols can pay, and the paytable at A$0.20 lists each symbol.
Track the MONEY values on high fish symbols, since WILD does not appear here. Two Scatters can randomly trigger a respin that drops them one row, or a hook animation.
Land three, four or five Scatters to trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. Then WILD Fisherman is active on all 5 reels.
Set a loss limit before the first spin and stop when it is reached. Nobody can know in advance how often free spins come or how a session ends.
Know what pays
After these screens you will know which symbols pay and how the free spins look.
Choosing a stake before the first spin does not tell you when the bonus round will come. How often Big Bass Bonanza 1000 reaches its free spins is not known in advance, and nobody can predict it from the bet or the history of earlier rounds. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of 96.51 says about returns over a very long run.
Checking which RTP version runs on Fairgo Casino starts in the game rules. Only those rules state the version in use, so the figure on another site or in a guide does not settle the question. Read the rules before the first spin.
Weighing the top prize starts with the maximum win of Big Bass Bonanza 1000. It is x20,000 the bet, a ceiling that is reached very rarely. At the example top bet of A$5 that works out to A$100,000, but that figure is a cap, and no session can be planned around reaching it.
Try before staking
At Fairgo, the demo sits beside the real game so you choose before you deposit.
Choose the demo to learn the reels, since it needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs a Fairgo Casino account and players aged 18+.
