A 5x4 grid with 12 fixed paylines frames this fishing slot from Pragmatic Play. The reels carry a boat, rod and reel, feathered lure and tackle box, plus the card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10. Wins are read left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols can pay, and some fish carry money values. The paytable shows what each symbol pays.
3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The fisherman Wild appears only here, replacing all but the Scatter. When it lands, it collects the cash values of all money symbols on screen. Every fourth collected Wild adds 10 spins with an x2, x3 or x10 collection multiplier, up to three retriggers. Round wins cap at 4,000x the bet.
A$100 staked is the basis for RTP, the share paid back over a long run. Single sessions can land above or below it. The version Crownplay runs is shown in the game rules.

2 modes explained
After reading, you will know how the bonus starts and how a base game round runs.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins. WILD (fisherman) appears only here and collects cash values of MONEY symbols on screen. Every 4th collected WILD retriggers 10 spins, with x2, x3 or x10 multiplier, max 3 retriggers. Round win capped at 4000x bet.
Base game roundBonus spins
12 fixed paylines run across the 5x4 grid, from the leftmost reel to the right over adjacent reels. MONEY-valued fish and regular symbols pay per the paytable, and 2 matching symbols is the fewest that pays.

Five steps, one round
Read this before your first spin, when you want to know what each bet step does.
Set the bet between A$0.12 and A$240 before the first spin. Each payout in money grows with the stake, while the grid and paylines stay the same.
A win starts on the leftmost reel and runs left to right across adjacent reels on one of 12 fixed paylines. Two matching symbols can already pay.
The base game mixes MONEY-valued fish with regular symbols, and both pay per the paytable. Three Scatter symbols start the bonus, and the Wild does not appear in the base game.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols start free spins, and the count sets the spin total. The fisherman Wild appears only in this mode and replaces every symbol except Scatter.
Fix your budget before the first spin, and stop when it is gone. The bigger the bet, the faster a budget runs out, and high volatility means sharper swings.
Two ways to start
After this, you will know whether to start in the demo or with real money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing, so every spin is just practice. The real game needs a Crownplay Casino account, and you must be 18+.
Play for realTwelve fixed paylines and a 5x4 grid shape the base game in Bigger Bass Bonanza, but they do not tell you when the bonus round will come. Nobody can know how often it lands, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP of 96.71 says. High volatility means wins arrive in uneven bursts, so a quiet stretch proves nothing about the next spin.
96.71 is the only RTP version listed for Bigger Bass Bonanza. Which version runs on Crownplay is shown only in the game rules. Open those rules inside the game before your first spin, and read the figure they state for the version you are playing.
x4,000 of the bet is the ceiling for one round, which comes to A$960,000 at the highest bet of A$240. That maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely, so treat it as a limit on the top prize, not as an expectation.
Five short replies
You will know how free spins start, how volatile the game is and what cannot be known.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The WILD fisherman appears only during those spins, and it collects the cash values of all MONEY symbols on screen when it lands.
A 5x4 grid with 12 fixed paylines carries high volatility. High volatility means that wins are less frequent, but the single win can grow much larger, up to x4,000 of the bet.
96.71 is the RTP of Bigger Bass Bonanza. Over a long run, A$100 staked returns A$96.71 on average. A single session can end well above or below that figure.
96.50 to 96.52 is the RTP range of the other series titles, so this game sits slightly higher at 96.71. Four of those titles cap wins at x5,000 of the bet and Big Bass Splash 1000 at x25,000, while this game caps at x4,000.
x4,000 of the bet is the cap on one round. At the highest bet of A$240, that is A$960,000, and at A$10 it comes to A$40,000. Nobody can predict when a round reaches that cap.
18+ to play. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
A$0.12 is the lowest bet and A$240 the highest, so set a session budget before you start.
5x4 grid, 12 fixed paylines: decide when you stop before the first spin, and keep that point after a win too.
A$240 is the largest bet allowed here, so set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play.
Only A$96.71 of every A$100 staked comes back over time, so take a pause once the game stops being fun, or self-exclude if breaks do not help.
