Editorial note: this is a general guide to Big Bass slots at Fortune Games. Slot rules, features and RTP can vary between operators and game versions, so always check each game's information panel before you spin. Slots are games of chance — nothing here is a prediction of results, and no strategy changes the odds.
Big Bass Slots
A Big Bass slot is part of a fishing series from Pragmatic Play and its partner studio Reel Kingdom. The games share one idea: fish symbols carry cash values, and in the free spins a wild, usually the fisherman, can collect them. Our guides to Big Bass slots we stock are listed below.

What makes a Big Bass slot
Pragmatic Play publishes the games, and its partner Reel Kingdom makes most of them. The series began in 2020 with Big Bass Bonanza: five reels, three rows and 10 fixed paylines, with three, four or five scatters awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins. In the round, each fisherman wild that lands collects the cash values of all the fish on screen, and every fourth fisherman adds 10 spins and a higher multiplier on fish values: 2x, then 3x, then 10x.
Later games built new features around that round. Big Bass Splash (2022) can add random modifiers before its free spins, such as more fish or more fishermen. Big Bass Hold & Spinner (2023) was the first in the series with two separate bonuses. Big Bass Vegas Double Down Deluxe (2024) has red and blue fisherman wilds with a meter each, and Big Bass Mission Fishin’ (2024) offers a choice between free spins and a coin respin round.
Some editions change the scene. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza and Big Bass Christmas Bash are seasonal, while Big Bass Day at the Races and Big Bass Amazon Xtreme take the fisherman to a racetrack and the Amazon. Others rework older games: Big Bass Bonanza – Reel Action (2024) refreshes the original, and Big Bass Bonanza 1000 and Big Bass Splash 1000 (both 2025) cut the top fish value to 1,000x stake and raise the maximum win.
How Big Bass slots differ
Most Big Bass games keep five reels and 10 paylines. Bigger Bass Bonanza adds a fourth row and two more lines, and a line of five fish pays the sum of their values in the base game. In Big Bass Floats My Boat, the fisherman can also collect fish in the base game, and in the free spins each grid position has a multiplier that rises by one whenever a fish lands there.
Some change the bonus itself. Big Bass Secrets of the Golden Lake starts its bonus with a pick from 12 face-down cards, and two of them open the Golden Lake Free Spins, where only fish, fisherman wilds and blanks can land. Big Bass Hold & Spinner has a coin round as well as free spins: three or more coins start four respins, which reset to four whenever new coins land.
Maximum wins vary too. Our guides give 2,100x stake for Christmas Big Bass Bonanza, 4,000x for Bigger Bass Bonanza, 10,000x for Hold & Spinner and 25,000x for Big Bass Splash 1000, though these are upper limits, not predictions. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza is rated medium to high volatility; the other games named here are rated high, meaning results can swing a lot.
