About Bigger Bass Bonanza
Released in September 2021 by Reel Kingdom (Pragmatic Play's in-house fishing-themed studio), Bigger Bass Bonanza is the direct — and most popular — follow-up to the original Big Bass Bonanza (2020). Rather than chasing an ever-higher max win the way Big Bass Splash (5,000x) or Big Bass Hold & Spinner (10,000x) did, Bigger Bass opted for a wider grid format: 5×4 instead of the original's 5×3, with 12 paylines instead of 10, giving more opportunities for regular wins while keeping the variance approachable.
The format is a 5×4 grid on 12 paylines with a 96.71% RTP in the official high version — top tier (double-check in-game, as degraded 95.67% and 94.53% configurations exist at some casinos). Volatility is high, but lower than Big Bass Splash. The max win is 4,000x your stake — modest next to the series' more extreme variants, but reachable through regular hits.
Signature mechanics: Money Symbols collect (Cash Fish symbols worth x1 to x100 stake that appear on the grid during free spins and are automatically gathered by the Fisherman Wild), and free spins with progressive multipliers (3 scatters = 10 spins, 4 = 15 spins, 5 = 20 spins). The multiplier climbs with every Fisherman wild collected: x1 (base) → x2 (4 wilds collected) → x3 (8 wilds) → x10 (12+ wilds).
The bonus round triggers with 3+ Fisherman scatters (roughly a 1-in-180 chance per spin in the base game — slightly more frequent than the original Big Bass Bonanza's 1-in-200). Bonus buy is available at 100x stake (unavailable in the UK) — a major difference from the original Big Bass Bonanza, which has no bonus buy at all. It's the deciding factor for players who'd rather skip the base-game grind.
Availability in France: Bigger Bass Bonanza is widely distributed — available at virtually every casino that carries Pragmatic Play, from French ANJ-regulated sites to crypto casinos in BCE's French top rankings (SpinAura, BetRiviera, Prestige, MonacoJack). It's one of the most accessible Big Bass follow-ups internationally. For fishing-franchise fans after a wider format with a bonus buy and moderate variance, Bigger Bass Bonanza is the ideal middle ground — between the original Big Bass Bonanza (no bonus buy) and Big Bass Splash (higher variance, 5,000x max).
