The fishing hit meets the Megaways engine
Released in November 2021 by Reel Kingdom under the Pragmatic Play banner, Big Bass Bonanza Megaways swaps the original's 10 paylines for a six-reel Megaways layout with 2-7 symbols per reel and up to 46,656 ways to win, plus tumbling reels and an additional horizontal reel reserved for wilds.
The default RTP is 96.70% — slightly above the original — with alternative operator tiers of 95.66% and 94.62%, and volatility rated 5/5 on Pragmatic Play's scale.
Fisherman free spins with growing multipliers
Three to six scatters award 10 to 25 free spins. In the bonus, the wild fisherman collects the values of all visible money symbols — which can carry values up to 4,000x — and every fourth fisherman collected awards 10 extra spins while stepping the collection multiplier through 2x, 3x and 10x.
The published maximum win is 4,000x the stake, and stakes run from 0.20 to 100 per spin.
