New Zealanders love fishing, so it's no surprise that Big Bass Bonanza by Pragmatic Play has become an absolute favourite in the Kiwi online casino community.

How to Win at Big Bass Bonanza: A Kiwi's Guide

While the base game offers decent payouts for lining up tackle boxes and fishing rods, the real money is in the Free Spins feature. Here is how to maximize your catch:

💡 Pro Tip: The Fish symbols have cash values on them (e.g., 2x, 5x, 50x bet). In the base game, these values don't matter—they just act as standard paying symbols. But in the Free Spins, they are instant cash prizes if the Fisherman is around!

1. Triggering the Free Spins

You need to land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols (the hooked bass) to trigger 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. This is where the game changes completely.

2. The Fisherman is Key

During Free Spins, the Fisherman Wild symbol appears. He has two jobs:

Substitute: He acts as a Wild for all symbols except the Scatter.
Collect: If he lands on the same spin as any Fish Money symbols, he "reels them in" and collects their total value for you.

Example: If you have fish worth $10, $20, and $50 on the screen, and one Fisherman lands, you win $80 instantly.

3. The Progressive Multiplier

Every Fisherman symbol that lands is also collected into a meter at the top of the screen.

Collect 4 Fishermen: +10 Free Spins & 2x Multiplier for collected fish.
Collect 4 more (8 total): +10 Free Spins & 3x Multiplier.
Collect 4 more (12 total): +10 Free Spins & 10x Multiplier.

Reaching the 10x multiplier is rare, but if you do, even small fish turn into massive wins!
