A conventional slot on the surface, with fixed paylines and a familiar layout. Everything that makes it worth playing happens in the free-spins round, where fish carry cash values and the fisherman collects them.
Big Bass Bonanza is a fishing-themed slot from Reel Kingdom with fixed paylines, where the free-spins round collects fish symbols that carry cash values.
This guide covers how the slot plays at Kirabet, the Maldives casino that carries it — the rules, the settings, the limits and the terms you will see on screen.
The base game is deliberately plain: five reels, a fixed set of paylines, and symbols that pay left to right in the usual way. If you only ever played the base game you would find very little to talk about, and that is by design.
The free-spins round is the game. Fish symbols land carrying a cash value, and a fisherman symbol sweeps up every fish currently on screen. Collect enough fishermen and the round extends while a multiplier is applied to future collections.

Ordinary until the scatters land. Then the rules change.
1
Paylines are fixed, so the stake covers all of them. There is nothing to switch on or off.
2
Symbols pay left to right across the fixed lines, in the conventional way.
3
Enough scatter symbols anywhere on the reels open the free-spins round.
4
Fish carry cash values and the fisherman collects everything on screen when he lands.
Inside free spins, a fish symbol is worth whatever value is printed on it, but only if a fisherman lands in the same spin to collect it. A screen full of fish with no fisherman pays nothing — the value is potential, not credit.
Each fisherman also counts towards a retrigger. Collecting a set number of them extends the round and raises a multiplier applied to every collection that follows, which is why the value of the round grows non-linearly rather than steadily.
Fish values on screen are not winnings. Nothing is credited until a fisherman lands in the same spin to collect them.
These figures come from Pragmatic Play’s own published specification for Big Bass Bonanza. Unusually, they confirm rather than complicate what the game feels like to play.
The bonus arrives four times as often as in its stablemates. Free spins trigger once in 113 spins here, against 1 in 451 for Sweet Bonanza and 1 in 448 for Gates of Olympus. If you have ever wondered why this game feels generous with its bonus round, that is the number.
And the base game is four times deader. It pays once in 7.69 spins, where Sweet Bonanza pays once in 2 and Gates once in 3.47. Put those two figures together and the design is explicit: almost nothing happens between bonus rounds, and almost everything happens inside them. This page has said that from the start; the specification is where it stops being an opinion.
The lowest ceiling is also the hardest one to reach. Maximum win is 2,100× the stake — a tenth of Sweet Bonanza and under half of Gates of Olympus. You would expect a smaller target to be easier to hit. It is not: the maximum lands once in 3,880,481 spins, five times rarer than the maximum in Gates. Worth holding onto: a win above 1,000× here (1 in 712,251) is about as likely as hitting the absolute maximum in Gates of Olympus (1 in 718,391).

Bet amounts are base units. Your account shows them converted into your own currency, so check the game panel for the MVR figures before you set a stake.
Every spin, including which fish land and what they carry, is decided by a certified random number generator when you press spin. The reels stopping is presentation; the result already exists.
The paytable inside the game lists the symbol values and the scatter requirement for your current stake. It also shows how many fishermen are needed for each retrigger, which is the single most useful number in the game.
Big Bass is a series, not a single title, and the lobby carries several of them at once. They all share the collection mechanic — fish carry values, the fisherman collects them — but the numbers behind it are not the same.
That is the part worth checking before you play. Two titles can look identical and behave very differently once the bonus round starts.
| Version | What it is | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Big Bass Bonanza | The original | Fixed paylines, free-spins collection, retriggers that raise the multiplier |
| Big Bass Splash | A rebuilt sequel | Same collection idea with a reworked bonus structure and a different retrigger pattern |
| Big Bass Bonanza 1000 | A higher-ceiling version | The collection mechanic is unchanged; the top multiplier reaches much further |
| Big Bass Amazon Xtreme | A themed variant | New setting and symbol set, with its own take on how the multiplier builds |
| Seasonal editions | Holiday reskins | Artwork and sound change; the underlying mechanic usually does not |
Names are close enough to confuse. Open the paytable of the title you actually launched and check the retrigger requirement before the first spin.
The game itself is identical wherever you open it — Reel Kingdom builds one version of it. What changes is the account around it, and at Kirabet that account is built for players in the Maldives — a Maldives casino balance, local payment methods and support in your own time zone.
Stakes and wins are shown in the currency you chose when you registered. Kirabet publishes its prize pools in MVR, so figures quoted in USD or EUR on other sites will not match what is on your screen. Read the limits in your own currency rather than converting one to the other.
Deposits, withdrawals and the bonus terms that apply to slot play are account-level rather than game-level. They are covered on the deposits page, the withdrawals page and the bonuses page.
Four things worth doing before the first spin, in this order.
1
The form asks for contact details and a currency you cannot change later. Our registration guide covers the fields that block sign-up.
2
Verification is checked when you withdraw, not when you deposit. Doing it first avoids a delay when you withdraw.
3
Methods, minimums and timings differ. The deposits page lists them and covers declined cards.
4
Set your own budget before you start and stop when it is spent. For a break, Kirabet offers a 7-day cooling-off period and self-exclusion through Live Support; the responsible gambling page explains how.
Big Bass Bonanza runs in the phone browser and in the app on the same account and balance. The reels are the same and the fixed paylines do not change, so a spin behaves identically on either screen.
The detail that suffers on a small screen is the fish value. Each fish carries a printed amount, and on a phone those numbers are small enough that players stop reading them and judge the round by how full the screen looks. That is misleading — a screen of low-value fish collected once is worth less than two high-value fish collected twice. Install steps are in the iOS guide and the Android guide.
Scatters land independently on every spin. A long dry run does not mean a bonus is due.
You cannot know when free spins will trigger, so raising the stake in anticipation only raises the cost of the wait.
The family shares a mechanic but not its numbers. Check the paytable of the specific title you are playing.
Five terms that describe how the bonus round actually pays.
Once in 113 spins on average, which is roughly four times more often than in Pragmatic Play’s pay-anywhere slots. It is the single biggest difference between this game and the rest of the lobby, and it is why the base game can afford to be as quiet as it is.
Three configurations ship — 96.71%, 95.67% and 94.50% — and the operator picks one. That is a spread of 2.21 percentage points, the widest of the three Pragmatic slots on this site. The figure in force is shown in the game information panel inside your account.
No. The collection mechanic only runs during the free-spins round. In the base game, fish symbols pay as ordinary symbols where the paytable says so.
Nothing is collected that spin. The fish disappear with the spin and their values are not carried forward.
The requirement is shown in the game paytable and can differ between titles in the series.
Yes, same account and balance. See the iOS guide or the Android guide.
They differ in volatility and maximum win rather than in how the mechanic works. The paytable of each title states both.
Every round is independent and the house keeps an edge over time. Decide on a budget before you start — cooling-off and self-exclusion are explained on our responsible gambling page.
