Big Bass Bonanza 1000 slot

Big Bass Bonanza 1000 goes back to the 5x3, 10 payline shape of the first game and changes one thing that matters: the fish. Money fish in this version carry values up to 1,000x the stake, and the multiplier levels take the max win to 20,000x. The return is 96.51% in the standard version, a shade under the series norm, and the volatility is high.

The round plays as it always has. Three, four or five scatters give 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Fisherman wilds collect every fish on the screen, every fourth fisherman adds 10 spins and moves up a level, and the levels pay 2x, 3x and 10x. The difference is the arithmetic at the top. A 1,000x fish collected at level four is 10,000x on its own, which is R20,000 at R2 a spin, and two of them at that level hit the cap. Two 1,000x fish at level four is the cap in one spin.

Two paid options sit around the feature. The ante bet adds 50% to the stake, so R2 becomes R3 a spin, and makes the scatters land more often. The bonus buy comes in two sizes where it is offered: 100x the stake for a standard round, or 450x for super free spins, where the 1,000x fish land more often. At R2 a spin that is R200 or R900 for one round. Neither option changes the 96.51% RTP. They change how often you see the round and how fast a budget goes.

There is also a hook. When two scatters land, the rod can reel in a third to trigger the round, which happens at random and cannot be forced. After each free spin the game can also drop extra wilds and fish onto the reels, which is what shortens the wait for the fourth fisherman.
