12 Fixed Lines Raise the Floor, Not the Price per Line

The price of a spin in Bigger Bass Bonanza starts at 0.12, two cents above the 0.10 floor that almost every other Big Bass title still keeps. Nothing is actually pricier: the minimum is still a cent per line, only the count changed, with 12 fixed Lines on the taller 5x4 grid where the original drew ten. That extra row matters most once three or more Scatter medallions trigger Free Spins. More positions on each spin mean more money-tagged fish on screen, and every fisherman Wild that lands collects all of their values through the Money Collect mechanic, up to the round's 4000x cap. High volatility keeps the base game quiet between features, so the bigger grid earns its name inside the bonus, where there is simply more to catch.

Bigger Bass Bonanza: What Only the Fourth Wild Can Start

A Bigger Frame, and No Way to Buy Past It

The second Reel fishing release in the Big Bass line, dated 2021-09-16, enlarges the original 5x3 frame to 5 reels and 4 rows with 12 fixed Lines, yet keeps the published return at 96.71% and sells no shortcut into the feature: only the original before it and the Megaways title after it share that absence, while every series entry from Christmas Big Bass Bonanza onward includes a bonus buy. The consequence shapes everything. Because the round cannot be purchased, all of what Pragmatic Play stored inside it, the Wild collector, the Money Collect tags, the Multiplier ladder, the 4000x cap, waits behind a Scatter trigger that fires on its own schedule. The base game functions as a queue, and the build is best read as a sequence of timed states, each one gated by the last.

The Free Spins Round as a Timed Sequence

  • Trigger: 3, 4 or 5 Scatter medallions anywhere award 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins; the batch is fixed before the round begins.
  • Collection: the Wild appears only during Free Spins; each one substitutes and then gathers every Money value visible that spin.
  • Milestones: every 4th Wild collected adds 10 spins and steps the Multiplier to x2, x3, then x10; the third retrigger is the last.
  • Sequencing: retriggered spins play only after the current batch ends, and the active Multiplier never applies backward.
  • End-of-spin rescue: when a free spin ends with exactly one Wild on screen, extra Money fish can appear in random positions.
  • Ceiling: at 4000x bet the round ends on the spot, pays up to the cap, and forfeits any spins still queued.

One Documented Round, One Wild Short

A full feature round was played and captured in the demo, and it shows the ladder ending at its first rung. Three Scatter medallions dealt 10 Free Spins at the $1.20 default bet; the tracker above the reels filled three of the four Wild slots, and the batch closed with the counter at FREE SPINS LEFT 0, a $99.00 total, and the +10 FREE SPINS x2 tile still grey. Nothing misbehaved. The round simply stopped one Wild before the point where the build starts compounding, which is the honest content of the High volatility badge, five of five bolts, printed in the rules: the escalating states exist, the 96.71% published return prices them in, and a standard 10-spin batch can end without touching them. With no bonus buy, the next Scatter trigger is the only way back.

Final verdict

What players like

  • Neon South-Beach skyline, sunset colours and a bearded fisherman mascot give the fishing theme real charm.
  • A 96.71% return is generous for a 5/5 volatility build, so modest budgets stretch further between dry spells.
  • Three retriggers raise collections through x2, x3 and x10 and add 10 spins apiece, so the feature keeps escalating.

Weaknesses

  • The fisherman who banks the money fish appears only in free spins, leaving every base-game tag uncollectable.
  • With 5/5 volatility and no way to buy into the feature, the wait between collector rounds can be a long one.

Bigger Bass Bonanza is a feature-first machine dressed in a bright sunset package: the shoreline scenery and mascot keep the quiet stretches pleasant, but the session lives or dies by how often the scatter lands. Players who enjoy watching a bonus round gather momentum will feel at home; anyone after steady, low-drama spins will not.
