Ten fixed paylines run across a 5x3 grid of fishing and ocean symbols. Wins can start with just 2 matching symbols, read from left to right. The base game is easy to follow, and the fishing theme shows in every symbol, from the Speedboat to the Tackle Box.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols start a Free Spins round of 10, 15 or 20 spins. Inside the round, FISHERMAN WILD lands on all five reels and collects the value of every MONEY symbol on screen. Before each round, you pick one of 12 face-down cards, each holding a modifier. Every fourth collected WILD adds 10 spins with a rising multiplier ladder.
Big Bass Reel Repeat
Many players wonder how a round starts and when it ends, so this section answers both.
Landing 3/4/5 SCATTER symbols anywhere starts 10/15/20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears on all 5 reels and collects every MONEY symbol on screen when it lands. Every 4th collected WILD retriggers +10 spins. The round ends immediately if total win reaches 5,000x.
Base gameFree spins
Before every Free Spins round, you pick 1 of 12 face-down cards. The card reveals regular Free Spins, MORE FISH, HIGHER MULTIPLIERS, 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER or MEGA, which combines all three modifiers. The guaranteed MEGA buy skips the pick.

Available at Ante Bet 16x or 25x, or when BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE was bought. At the end of a Free Spins round, a chrome wheel decides. The green REEL REPEAT! half restarts the round with the same initial spin count and modifier odds, keeping all wins so far.

Buy Free Spins lets you start a Free Spins round for a fixed multiple of your bet. Ante Bet 15x/25x disables this purchase option. Ante Bet 10x is normal play, with no change to the odds.

Big Bass Reel Repeat steps
The usual worry is not knowing what a round costs, so each step shows the money.
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$500 before the first spin. The bet you set is the stake for every spin until you change it.
Base Game runs on 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines. Symbols pay left to right, and a line pays from 2 matching symbols.
In Base Game, MONEY symbols can appear on the reels, but nothing is collected from them. Their values only count once Free Spins begin.
Free Spins start when 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols land anywhere on the grid, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears only in this round.
Decide your spending limit before the first spin and stop once you reach it. If play feels hard to control, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

96.51 percent is the return to player per A$100 staked, a figure that only shows over a very large number of rounds. The RTP version this site runs is shown in the game rules.
| Version | RTP | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Version 1 | 96.51% | Yes |
The 96.51% RTP describes the return over a large number of rounds, and it says nothing about how often Free Spins arrive in one session. The bonus round can come on the first spin or after a long wait, and nobody can know that in advance. One session's result is random whatever the RTP, so it can end well above or well below the amount staked.
Only one RTP version, 96.51%, is listed for Big Bass Reel Repeat. Which RTP version runs on a given game is shown only in the game rules, so read them before your first spin. Those rules give the version that applies to every session you play.
A$25,000 is the top win at the A$5 example bet, which equals the x5,000 maximum win. The ceiling is reached very rarely, and a Free Spins round ends at once when total win reaches it. Size your bet to your budget, not to the top figure on this page.

Bet with clear facts
The answers below cover volatility, RTP, maximum win, bet sizes and how to try the game.
Big Bass Reel Repeat has high volatility, which means results are uneven: small wins can be followed by long gaps before a larger one. No one can know in advance when the Free Spins will trigger or how a session will end.
The first step is choosing a stake, and the minimum is A$0.10 per spin. The paytable shows what each symbol pays at an A$1 bet, so you can read the rules before raising your stake.
The return to player is 96.51%, measured on A$100 staked. Over the long run that averages A$96.51 back for every A$100 wagered, yet any single session can end far above or below that average.
The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet. At the A$5 top example bet that means A$25,000, and at the A$500 maximum bet it reaches A$2,500,000. A round ends immediately once the total win reaches this cap.
Bets start at A$0.10 per spin and go up to A$500 per spin, the highest stake allowed here. Examples on this page use A$1 and A$5, but those are illustrations, not the limits.
Players must be 18+ to play. If gambling stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the session starts, and keep that amount separate from everyday money.
Pick your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it after a big win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so the amount you can spend is capped in advance.
If the game stops feeling fun, take a break, and if the urge to keep playing persists, self-exclude through BetStop.
