Big Bass Bonanza Paytable and Demo: 1xBet Guide
The developer's demo uses virtual credits.
Big Bass Bonanza hides its biggest numbers in the free spins round. Money values sit on the reels, and the only symbol that gathers them is a wild, which appears once the feature starts. Base spins pay from left to right along 10 fixed paylines. Understanding those two layers explains most of what the game does.
This guide covers the original release only. Use the paytable below only for the original Big Bass Bonanza.
How a base spin pays
A winning combination starts on the leftmost reel and runs across adjacent reels. When one line carries several matches, only the highest win on that line is paid. Wins from different lines are then added together into the round total, and each line win is multiplied by the bet placed on that line.
The paytable uses a small set of fishing-themed symbols plus five card ranks. Values below come from the native paytable at a total stake of two virtual credits. The display already accounts for that stake.
| Symbol | 3 symbols | 4 symbols | 5 symbols |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fishing float | 10 | 40 | 400 |
| Fishing rod | 6 | 30 | 200 |
| Dragonfly | 4 | 20 | 100 |
| Tackle box | 4 | 20 | 100 |
| Fish | 2 | 10 | 40 |
| A, K, Q, J and 10 (each) | 1 | 5 | 20 |
The displayed table also shows the fishing float paying 1 virtual credit for two of a kind. The other entries are shown from three symbols upward in that display.
Two line payouts illustrate the scale clearly. Four fishing floats pay 40 credits and five fish symbols also pay 40 credits, at the same observed 2-credit stake. Yet neither of those outcomes reaches the free spins mechanic, where a single collected money value can be many times the total bet.
Money symbols and the free spins feature
Scatters trigger the feature. Three, four or five scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and the round runs on special reels. During the feature, fish money symbols appear carrying a random value, and each value is drawn from a fixed set: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 2000x the total bet. That random set is separate from the fixed fish payout in the line paytable above.
Wilds appear on all reels during free spins and substitute for every symbol except the scatter. Each wild that lands collects the values of all money symbols on screen. The game collects the wilds that land and keeps them in the feature tally until the round ends.
Collected wilds also count toward the retrigger thresholds. When only one wild is on screen, fish money symbols can appear in random positions at the end of a free spin, as a feature event on that spin. The rules do not say those fish persist on the next spin.
| Trigger | Award | Multiplier on collected fish money |
|---|---|---|
| 3 scatters | 10 free spins | None |
| 4 scatters | 15 free spins | None |
| 5 scatters | 20 free spins | None |
| 4th wild collected | 10 extra spins | 2x |
| 8th wild collected | 10 extra spins | 3x |
| 12th wild collected | 10 extra spins | 10x |
Each retrigger multiplier applies only to the batch of spins it arrives with. Retriggered spins are played after the previous batch ends, so the first added batch pays at 2x, the second at 3x and the third at 10x. Money collected during earlier spins keeps the rate that applied at the time. After the third retrigger, the feature cannot be retriggered again.
These multipliers affect collected fish money only. Line wins settled on the reels during free spins are paid under the same paytable rules as the base game.
A short illustration shows how the arithmetic works, without claiming any real spin. At the 2-credit virtual stake, a 5x fish money symbol is worth 10 credits. If one wild collects that fish during the 2x retriggered batch, the collection contributes 20 credits. This example covers a single fish and a single wild only, and it does not describe the payout of a whole round.
Pay per line and total stake
Two separate numbers matter when reading any result. Bet per line scales a single line's win, while the total bet is the reference for a random money value. A 2000x money symbol is worth 2,000 times the total bet when collected at the original rate. The number printed beside a fish in the line table is a different kind of value: the table shows what a matching fish sequence pays at the selected demo stake. For example, the five-fish entry refers to a line of five matching symbols from the left. A single fish money symbol can contribute to a free-spins collection without completing a five-fish line. Check whether the display is showing a line award or a collection before trying to match it to the paytable.
Running the official Pragmatic Play demo
The developer hosts the official demo for Big Bass Bonanza. The session inspected here opened with a balance of 100,000 virtual credits and a starting stake of 2 USD-formatted virtual credits. Those figures describe that observed session rather than a fixed default for every launch.
The opening screen lists the three retrigger multipliers in order, next to their ten-spin awards. The rules panel explains when each extra batch starts. The game board and the rules are separate screens: the entry arrow opens the board, where the Information button opens the paytable.
- Circular arrows, right side of the introduction: enter the game.
- Spin button, lower right: start a spin.
- Stake minus and plus, lower right: adjust the virtual stake.
- Information, lower left: open the rules panel.
- Page arrows, lower left of the panel: move between the six pages.
- Keyboard SPACE and ENTER: start or stop a spin.
Where 1xBet fits
The studio demo does not establish whether a 1xBet account has this title. If it appears in your account, check for the original title and compare its own paytable and terms with the rules shown here.
The original title is printed above the reels in the studio demo. If you see an extra edition label, use the rules for that exact title.
Direct answers on the mechanics
Two distinctions cause most confusion about this title, and both are mechanical rather than strategic.
- Where does the money come from? Collected fish money values, each a random multiple of the total bet up to 2000x, gathered by wilds during free spins.
- How many retriggers are possible? Three, adding 10 spins each time.
- What return does the developer list? An RTP of 96.71%.
- What does a malfunction do? The rules state that a malfunction voids all pays and plays.
