Big Bass Bonanza 1000 slot review
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is Reel Kingdom’s 2025 remake of Big Bass Bonanza for Pragmatic Play’s “1000” range. It keeps the original’s five reels, three rows and 10 paylines, but the top fish drops from 2,000x to 1,000x stake, while the maximum win rises from 2,100x to 20,000x stake.

How Big Bass Bonanza 1000 plays
Wins pay left to right along 10 lines, and the float pays from two in a row. Like the original Big Bass Bonanza, the game is built around fish. Fish are money symbols with values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 1,000x stake. Their cash values are collected in free spins. When two scatters land without a third, one of two random assists can step in: the reels holding the scatters drop one position while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another scatter.
Free spins and the random extras
Three, four or five scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and the fisherman wild appears on every reel. Each wild collects the value of every fish in view. Three random extras can also appear at the end of a free spin:
- Fish drop: with at least one wild on screen, fish can land in random positions.
- Extra fish: when wilds land with no fish in view, a random number of fish can be added.
- Hook: wilds and fish can be pulled up onto the screen.
Every fourth wild collected adds 10 spins and raises the collection multiplier to 2x, then 3x, and finally 10x.
