If you’re here to discover new things about Big Bass Bonanza that you didn’t know before, then cast your discerning eye of the rare facts below!

Big Bonanza features, facts and tips

Fishing slots were popular long before Big Bass Bonanza came along, and depending on your point of view, this 10-line slot is either an evolution or a clone of Reel Time Gaming’s 2014 classic Fishin’ Frenzy.

Whatever your view, there’s no doubt the iconic fisherman character, catchy name and carefully crafted gameplay are some of the reasons why the Big Bass Bonanza UK slot became arguably the most successful game of all time.

As a result, it’s one of the best-known slots online, but do you know how often the free spins features is actually triggered, or how long you’ll need to play in order to trigger them? Dial-up your knowledge with these insights from our experts.

10 minutes is all it takes

Although the fish money symbols make the base game more interesting than with other slots, the one and only Big Bass Bonanza bonus feature – free spins – is what we are all hoping to hit.

But how often will you spin 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols to trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins? The answer to that question can help you decide if Big Bass Bonanza is the right slot for you, and how much time and money you’re willing to spend to trigger the feature.

The game is programmed to trigger the bonus feature once in every 113 spins, on average. We decided to test that out, so in a real gameplay test, we played 113 spins of the game at 10p per spin, at a max possible cost of £11.30 (though we spent £3.75 due to wins along the way). It took us 9 minutes 40 seconds, and we triggered the free spins feature once, which is bang on the average! We also got 11 near misses (2 scatters and the dramatic but reveal on reels 4 and 5).

You’ve no doubt seen the Big Bass Bonanza free spins feature in action before, but here’s a reminder of how it works. You can see that every fisherman progresses you towards one of 4 levels, awarding 10 extra free spins with 2x, 3x or 10x multipliers.

Mo’ fisherman, mo’ money

Appearing only in the free spins rounds, the fisherman symbol is not only the Wild symbol, but also the key to collecting money symbols – the fish with pound values below them that range from 10x to 2000x. Without the fisherman, the fish are worthless.

But what most players don’t know is that every additional fisherman collects their own money symbols. That means if you have 3 fish worth a total of £10, one fisherman nets you the £10, 2 fisherman means £20, and so on. In theory, there’s no limit to how many fishermen can appear, though in practice it’s rare to get more than one.

If you land a fisherman but no fish, there’s a chance the fisherman will lob a stick of dynamite and turn regular symbols into fish, another nice little touch that helped make this game so successful.

3 Years at the top (and counting)

Big Bass Bonanza went straight to number 1 in the UK when it was released in December 2020, and since then it has never been outside the top 2 slots, at PlayOJO or almost every other casino. That is some achievement.

In 2024, it was finally knocked off top spot by Big Bass Splash. These 2 slots have enjoyed uninterrupted dominance as the 1st and 2nd slots throughout 2024, a situation that has never occurred in the history of online slots.
