Money Symbol Fish

Every fish symbol on the reels carries a random cash value. During Free Spins, Wild symbols collect all visible Money Symbol values with multipliers up to 10x after the third retrigger.

Values: 2x to 5,000x bet

Free Spins Feature

Land three Scatter symbols (jumping bass) to trigger 10 free spins. Top-row Scatters award plus 2 spins each, middle-row plus 1 spin. Every fourth Wild collected retriggers the feature with increased multipliers.

10 spins + retriggers

Wild Retrigger Mechanic

Once free spins kick off, Wild symbols scoop up every Money Symbol value in sight and stick around for the entire feature. Land four Wilds to retrigger the round with 10 extra spins, and watch your collections multiply by 2x, then 3x, then a massive 10x on each subsequent retrigger. Fans of this sticky Wild setup will find something similar in the Big Bass Return to the Races slot, where money collection climbs as high as 5000x during the Golden Cup Free Spins feature.

Up to 10x collection multiplier

Buy Free Spins

Skip the base game and purchase instant entry to the Free Spins round for 100x your total bet with three Wild symbols guaranteed on the triggering spin.

Cost: 100x total bet

Buy Super Free Spins

For 300x total bet, trigger enhanced free spins where only three Wilds (instead of four) are needed for retriggers, and the third retrigger applies a massive 20x collection multiplier.

20x multiplier possible

Ante Bet Multiplier

Choose between 10x normal bet mode or activate 15x Ante Bet for higher Scatter frequency on the reels, dramatically increasing your chance to trigger free spins naturally during base game spins.

15x bet = more Scatters

Symbol Paytable – Fishing Gear Pays Big

Every symbol pays left to right across adjacent reels, kicking off from the leftmost reel. The payouts shown are for landing three-of-a-kind at the $250 bet level.

Frequently Asked Questions

The theoretical Return to Player percentage is 96.50% across all game modes. This RTP remains consistent whether you play the base game at normal 10x multiplier, activate the 15x Ante Bet, purchase Free Spins for 100x total bet, or purchase Super Free Spins for 300x total bet.

Land three Scatter symbols (jumping bass fish) anywhere on the three reels during a base game spin. You receive 10 base free spins, plus two additional spins for each Scatter landing on the top row and one additional spin for each Scatter on the middle row. Alternatively, purchase instant Free Spins for 100x your total bet or Super Free Spins for 300x total bet using the buttons in the left panel. Purchase options for bonus entry also appear in Big Bass Baboiu' din Delta, which delivers very high volatility with 10 paylines and a 10,000x maximum win potential.

The fish symbols act as Money Symbols, displaying random cash values every spin ranging from 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1666x, 2500x, up to 5,000x your total bet. During Free Spins, any Wild symbol landing on the reels collects all visible Money Symbol values, with collection multipliers increasing to 2x after the first retrigger, 3x after the second, and 10x after the third (or 20x in Super Free Spins mode).

The maximum win is capped at 5,000x your total bet. If your total win during any round reaches this 5,000x limit, the round immediately ends, you are awarded the full 5,000x amount, and all remaining free spins or features are forfeited. At the maximum bet of $375, this equals a $1,875,000 maximum payout.

The Ante Bet (labeled "Higher Chance to Win Feature") increases your bet multiplier from 10x to 15x, meaning you wager 50% more per spin. In return, more Scatter symbols appear on the reels, significantly increasing your probability of triggering the Free Spins feature naturally during base game play. When Ante Bet is active, the Buy Free Spins button is disabled.

During the Free Spins feature, every Wild symbol that lands is collected and persists for the entire round. When you collect your fourth Wild symbol, the feature retriggers: you receive 10 additional free spins and the Money Symbol collection multiplier increases to 2x. The eighth Wild collected triggers another retrigger with 3x multiplier. The twelfth Wild triggers the final retrigger with 10x multiplier (or 20x in Super Free Spins). After three retriggers, no further retriggers are possible. Progressive Wild collection reaching extreme multipliers also drives Big Bass Bonanza 1000, where money symbols scale to 1000x and total wins reach 20,000x at maximum potential.
