High Volatility Fishing Action

Maximum 5 out of 5 - Big wins are less frequent but can land massive catches up to 5000x your bet in a single bonus round.

Reel in Massive Wins with These Bonus Features

Big Bass Floats My Boat packs three powerful mechanics that work together to multiply your catch during Free Spins rounds.

Free Spins with Scatter Triggers

Land 3, 4, or 5 bass Scatter symbols anywhere to trigger 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins respectively. When only 2 Scatters hit, watch for the octopus assist or reel drop mechanic that can randomly bring a third Scatter onto the screen.

Retrigger: Every 4th Fisherman Wild collected awards 10 additional spins

Fisherman Wild Collection System

During Free Spins, every Fisherman Wild symbol collects all Money symbol values visible on the reels. Money symbols display random values from 0.2x up to 50x your bet. All Wilds that land are collected and tracked throughout the entire feature.

Collected Wilds persist through the entire round

Position Multipliers Up to x50

Each of the 20 reel positions starts at x1 multiplier. Every time a Money symbol lands in a position, that position's multiplier increases by x1. When a Fisherman Wild collects a Money symbol, the value is first multiplied by the position multiplier before collection.

Multipliers stack throughout the feature for exponential wins

How to Cast Your Line

1
Choose your bet by clicking the plus or minus buttons to open the bet menu. Adjust Bet value (1-10) and Coin Value ($0.02 to $25) to set your Total Bet between $0.10 and $375.
2
Optionally activate Ante Bet from the left panel to increase your bet by 1.5x and significantly boost the frequency of Scatter symbols appearing on the reels.
3
Press the large circular Spin button to cast your line. You can also use SPACE or ENTER keys on desktop. Hold SPACE for Turbo Spin mode.
4
Watch for 3+ bass Scatter symbols to trigger Free Spins. During the bonus, Fisherman Wilds collect all Money symbol values multiplied by position multipliers.

Track your collected Fisherman Wilds. Every 4th Wild (or 3rd in Super mode) awards 10 additional Free Spins, keeping the bonus alive for massive catch potential.

What We Caught

  • Position multipliers create exponential win potential during extended Free Spins rounds
  • Retrigger mechanic (every 4th Wild) keeps bonus rounds alive with frequent extra spins
  • Two Buy Feature options accommodate different budgets and risk appetites
  • Scatter assist features (octopus, reel drops) help trigger Free Spins more often
  • Solid 96.07% base RTP with slightly improved 96.09% when buying Super Free Spins
  • Wide bet range $0.10 to $375 suits casual players and high rollers alike

What Got Away

  • High volatility means long dry spells between significant wins in base game
  • 5000x max win cap will end bonus rounds early if you hit the limit
  • Only 10 paylines compared to competitors with 20+ ways to win
  • Money symbol collection mechanic only activates during Free Spins, not base game
  • Super Free Spins buy at 300x bet is expensive relative to standard 100x option

Angler's Questions Answered

Land 3, 4, or 5 bass Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to trigger 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins respectively. During base game, if 2 Scatters land without a third, random features can assist: scatters may drop down one position with a respin, or an octopus can appear to transform another symbol into a Scatter.
Fisherman Wild symbols only appear during Free Spins and substitute for all symbols except Scatters and Money symbols. When a Fisherman Wild lands, it collects the values from all Money symbols currently visible on the reels. Each Money symbol value is first multiplied by its position's multiplier before collection. All Fisherman Wilds that land are collected and counted toward retriggers.
Each of the 20 positions on the 5x4 grid starts with a x1 multiplier. Every time a Money symbol lands in a specific position, that position's multiplier increases by x1 permanently for the duration of the Free Spins round. When a Fisherman Wild collects a Money symbol, the Money value is multiplied by the position multiplier first. Multipliers can reach x50 in highly extended bonus rounds.
Standard Free Spins costs 100x your total bet and retriggers 10 additional spins every 4th Fisherman Wild collected (RTP 96.08%). Super Free Spins costs 300x your bet but retriggers after only 3 collected Fisherman Wilds instead of 4, leading to more frequent retriggers and longer bonus rounds (RTP 96.09%). Both randomly award 3-5 Scatters to start.
Ante Bet increases your total bet by 1.5x (from 10x to 15x multiplier) and significantly increases Scatter symbol frequency on the reels, making it easier to trigger Free Spins naturally. The RTP is 96.06%, marginally lower than base 96.07%. Buy Feature is disabled when Ante Bet is active. Use it if you want more frequent bonus triggers and don't mind paying 50% more per spin.
No. The maximum win is capped at 5000x your total bet. If your total win during a Free Spins round reaches this limit, the feature immediately ends, you are paid up to the 5000x cap, and all remaining free spins are forfeited. This is a hard limit across all game modes including bought features.
