Pragmatic Play · 2025
A 5x3 fishing and ocean video slot from Pragmatic Play, Big Bass Reel Repeat carries high volatility. This page covers its figures, rounds and bonus modes.
A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines sets the scene for a fishing and ocean theme. Symbols pay from left to right, and a win can start with just 2 matching symbols. The paying symbols include speedboats, dragonflies, tackle boxes, frogs on lily pads and the cards A, K, Q and J. MONEY symbols can land on the reels in the base game, but you only collect them during Free Spins.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Fisherman Wild lands on all five reels and collects every MONEY symbol. Each fourth collected Wild adds 10 spins with a rising multiplier. Before each round, Pick a Card can add MONEY symbols, higher multipliers or an earlier retrigger. Reel Repeat can restart a round and keep wins so far.

Feature rules
Read this before a Free Spins round starts, or when a SCATTER symbol lands.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere start the round with 10, 15 or 20 free spins. FISHERMAN WILD lands on all five reels and collects the value of every MONEY symbol on screen. Each fourth collected WILD adds 10 spins. The round ends once total win reaches 5,000x.
Base game spinsBonus spins
12 face-down cards appear before every Free Spins round, natural or bought, and you pick one. The guaranteed MEGA buy skips the card. A card can reveal regular Free Spins, MORE FISH, HIGHER MULTIPLIERS, 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER or MEGA, which combines all three.
Free Spins triggerA chosen modifier
2 halves on a chrome wheel, one green and one plain red, decide at the end of a Free Spins round whether it restarts, keeping all wins so far. The feature is open at Ante Bet 16x or 25x or after a BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE purchase.
Round endA full restart
100x your bet starts a Free Spins round at once, without waiting for 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols. The purchase is turned off while Ante Bet is set to 15x or 25x. The round then runs under the Free Spins rules.

Play guide
After this, you will have walked through one full round, from bet to bonus.
Your bet runs from A$0.10 to A$500, and every payout scales with the stake you pick. The paytable shows payouts for an A$1 bet.
On the 5x3 grid, a win runs along one of 10 fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols in a row can already pay.
Base game reels can show MONEY symbols, but their value stays uncollected until a Free Spins round begins. Keep an eye on those symbols, because they matter later in the round.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Before that round, you pick one of 12 face-down cards.
Before the first spin, set a budget and choose a bet that keeps you within it. Stop when the budget runs out, and never chase losses with a bigger bet.
At A$1 a spin, one session can end well above or well below the RTP average, and nobody can see that outcome before the first spin. How often the Free Spins round comes is not known in advance either. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says.
A$0.10 is the smallest bet and A$500 the largest. Which RTP version runs in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, so check them before you place your first bet. Read that part before you bet, because the version affects what the figures in the table mean.
5,000 times the bet is the most this slot pays in one round, and a Free Spins round ends at once when the total win reaches that ceiling. The ceiling is reached very rarely, so treat it as the top of the scale, not as a result to expect.

5 questions below
Useful in the minutes before you load the game, when bet size is still open.
A$1,000 is the price of Buy Free Spins at a A$10 bet, and Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance costs A$1,600. Buy Mega Free Spins costs A$12,500 at the same bet. Setting the Ante Bet to 15x or 25x turns the purchase off.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$500 the highest allowed in this market. The examples on this page use A$1, A$2 and A$10. The top win scales with the stake, so a A$500 bet reaches A$2,500,000.
25,000 times the bet is the top win of Big Bass Splash 1000, while this slot caps at 5,000 times. Big Bass Blast, Big Bass Football Bonanza, Big Bass Trophy Catch and Big Bass Raceday Repeat share the 5,000 times cap with this slot.
96.51% is the RTP of this slot, calculated on A$100 staked. Over a very long run that is the average return, but it does not predict a single session. Big Bass Splash 1000 lists 96.52%, while Big Bass Blast, Football Bonanza and Trophy Catch list 96.50%.
5,000 times the bet is the top win, and the volatility is high. Higher volatility means wins arrive less often but can be larger, and no one can say in advance when that will happen.
