FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
Yes, if you already enjoy Big Bass free spins and want them with a much higher ceiling. The round is the original one: fishermen collect every fish on screen, and every fourth fisherman adds spins and a bigger multiplier, but now the round can be bought and wins run much further. The old drawback stays, because until that fourth fisherman lands every fish pays face value.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Series fans: the fisherman, the fish and the x2, x3 and x10 ladder are all here, with a far higher cap
- Bonus buyers: two buys at fixed prices, both at the same RTP as normal play
- Max-win hunters who like a clear route: a big fish caught on the top rung counts ten times
Skip this if…
- Short-session players: base spins have no wild, and fish values pay only in free spins
- You want every round to build: one that never finds its fourth fisherman stays at face value
- Ante players who also buy: switching the ante on turns both buys off

Big Bass Bonanza 1000: Full Review
In Big Bass Bonanza 1000 a fish's value is only a label until a fisherman lands in free spins and collects it, and the top label is now the 1000x fish. Pragmatic Play and its Reel Kingdom studio released this 1000 version of the first Big Bass game in April 2025, with two buys, an ante bet and a much higher cap. It suits Big Bass regulars who know the loop and want more room above it.

How Big Bass Bonanza 1000 works
The base game is 10 fixed lines on a 5x3 grid, with no wild: the fisherman who substitutes for symbols appears only in free spins. The fishing float tops the paytable and is the one symbol that pays for two of a kind.
| Symbol | Pays for 5 / 4 / 3 at $1 |
|---|---|
| Fishing float | $200 / $20 / $5 (two pay $0.50) |
| Dragonfly | $100 / $15 / $3 |
| Fishing rod, tackle box | $50 / $10 / $2 |
| Fish | $20 / $5 / $1 |
| A, K | $10 / $2.50 / $0.20 |
| Q, J, 10 | $5 / $1 / $0.20 |
The fish doubles as a Money symbol. Every spin gives each fish a random value from 2x the bet up to the 1000x fish, but that value can only be won in free spins.
How the features connect:
- Three or more scatters start free spins. Two scatters can still get there through a random respin or hook.
- In free spins, every fisherman that lands collects the value of every fish on screen.
- Every fourth fisherman adds ten spins and raises the multiplier on what the fishermen collect.
- Random extras bring in fish or fishermen after a spin.
- Two buys start the round at once, and the ante bet adds scatters but switches the buys off.
The fisherman collect carries the game. The ladder decides how big a round gets, and the extras only help it along.
Free spins: how they trigger
Three scatters give 10 free spins, four give 15 and five give 20. When two land without a third, one of two things can happen at random. The reels holding scatters shift down one position while the others respin, or a hook pulls one reel up to reveal another scatter.
Spin 82 of 100 at $1: three scatters, the trigger of our only natural free spins round. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
How the fisherman collect works
In free spins the fisherman is a wild on every reel, and each one that lands takes the value of every fish in view. A fish with no fisherman beside it is never paid, however high its label, so the question on every free spin is whether he turns up. Fish can also form ordinary line wins, which pay from the table above.
Our natural round showed the collect at its best. On free spin 7 a single fisherman landed with three fish on screen, the 1000x fish among them, and took $1,020.00 in one spin.

The retrigger ladder
Every fisherman collected is counted until the round ends, and every fourth one retriggers it.
| Fishermen counted | Extra spins | Multiplier on collected fish |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 10 | x2 |
| 8 | 10 | x3 |
| 12 | 10 | x10 |
The extra spins play after the current batch, and the multiplier applies to them. After the third retrigger the round cannot be extended again. Until the fourth fisherman arrives, each fish pays its face value, which is why a round that stalls on three fishermen stays small.
Random extras
Three helpers can fire during free spins, and the rules give no figure for how often. After a spin with at least one fisherman, fish can appear in random positions. When fishermen land with no fish at all, a bazooka can blast fish onto the reels. And after a spin ends, a hook can pull fishermen or fish onto the screen.
Bonus buy and ante: prices and what you get
The two buys start the same free spins and differ in one way. Free Spins guarantees three scatters on the triggering spin, so more can land and lengthen the round. Super Free Spins costs more than four times as much and raises the chance of the top-value fish, not the number of fishermen. The ante works per spin instead, adding scatters to the reels and greying out both buy buttons.

RTP, volatility and max win
Normal play, the ante and both buys all carry 96.51%, so the choice between them changes how a session feels, not its theoretical return. The demo's rules list no other version. One review site rates the game High, but the rules label it Medium volatility, a step up from the Low of the original. The cap stops a round on the spot and forfeits any spins left, and by the rules the route there runs through big fish collected on the top rung of the ladder.

natural trigger in the session
Played on Pragmatic Play's official demo on 2 November 2026, in US dollars from a $100,000 demo balance, with every paid round matched to the game server's log. The demo opened at $2 and was set to $1 before the first spin. The ante stayed off for the 100 base spins and both buys, then ran for 10 spins at $1.50. Spins were started by a small script that clicks the spin button, not by autoplay. Totals for the whole session: $665.00 staked, $1,176.60 returned, closing balance $100,511.60 on the server and on screen.
One fisherman made the session. He landed on free spin 7 of our only natural round, next to the biggest fish on the list, and that catch alone beat everything else the test returned put together. Without the round, the 15 other winning base spins added up to $27.00, and the best was four fishing rods for $10.00 on spin 74.
The natural free spins from spin 82 at $1, settled: You have won $1,076.50 in 10 free spins. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
The buys showed the ladder from below. The Free Spins round landed four scatters for 15 spins, but only three fishermen came, and a fish on the last spin went uncollected. In the Super round the first fisherman arrived on spin 9 of 10, after eight spins of fish with nobody to collect them. The ten ante spins paid nothing. No round reached a fourth fisherman, so everything above about the ladder comes from the rules. One logged session shows how the round plays, not what the game returns over time.
Our $100 Free Spins buy at $1, settled: You have won $59.70 in 15 free spins, with three fishermen lit. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
Is Big Bass Bonanza 1000 worth playing?
For a Big Bass fan who wants a bigger top end, yes. For a player who needs the base game to do something, no: base spins are line wins without a wild, and every fish value waits for free spins. The reason to pick this one is the ceiling, since the same fisherman and the same ladder now run toward a cap many times higher than the original's.
Pick Big Bass Bonanza if you want the first game at Low volatility, with no buy and a far lower cap. Pick Big Bass Christmas Blast 1000 if you want the collecting wild working in base spins as well. Choose Big Bass Bonanza 1000 for the classic loop with buys and the higher ceiling.
In the demo, start with natural spins and wait for one round before buying. Counting fishermen on the bar above the reels is the fastest way to see how close a round is to its first retrigger.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger free spins in Big Bass Bonanza 1000?+
Land three, four or five scatters for 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Two scatters can still lead there: at random the scatter reels shift down one place while the rest respin, or a hook pulls up a reel to show a third. Our 100 base spins brought one natural round, on spin 82.
What is the difference between Big Bass Bonanza 1000 and Big Bass Bonanza?+
The loop is the same: fishermen collect fish in free spins, and every fourth one raises the multiplier. The 1000 version adds two buys and an ante bet and lifts the cap from 2,100x to 20,000x. Its top fish is the 1000x one, where the original has a 2000x fish, and its rules say Medium volatility instead of Low.
Can you buy the bonus in Big Bass Bonanza 1000, and what does it cost?+
Yes. Free Spins costs 100x the bet and guarantees three scatters on the triggering spin. Super Free Spins costs 450x and raises the chance of 1000x fish. Both are switched off while the ante bet runs, and every option carries the same RTP as normal play.
What is the max win in Big Bass Bonanza 1000, and how is it reached?+
20,000x the bet, and a round that reaches it ends at once, with any spins left forfeited. The route runs through the top of the retrigger ladder, where collected fish count ten times, so one 1000x fish caught there is already half the cap.
