Big Bass Bonanza Keeping It Reel and the Golden Fisherman
A fish can carry a cash value without paying it immediately. Here, the fisherman decides which catches reach the balance and which stay in the net. Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping It Reel slot machine comes from Reel Kingdom through Pragmatic Play. It keeps the familiar fishing theme, five reels and ten paylines, then adds a second collection system to the free spins.
A net changes the usual fishing routine
The main game pays matching symbols along its fixed winning lines.
The Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping It Reel bonus centres on collecting money symbols. During free spins, a regular fisherman Wild collects the values of fish visible on the reels. Fish that appear without a fisherman can enter the net above the grid. A Golden Wild collects the stored catch, giving earlier missed collections a chance to contribute later.
The net does not preserve everything indefinitely. One fish leaves it on each free spin, so its displayed value can decrease before a golden fisherman arrives. The stored total remains a possible reward until it has been collected.
From the first scatter to the final multiplier
The Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping It Reel freespin feature begins with at least three scatters.
| Feature event | Result |
|---|---|
| Three scatters | 10 free spins |
| Four scatters | 15 free spins |
| Five scatters | 20 free spins |
| Four fisherman Wilds collected | Another 10 spins and progression |
| Later collection stages | Fish value multipliers of 2x, 3x and 10x |
| Golden fisherman | Collects the fish held in the net |
Reaching the next stage extends play and increases the multiplier, but neither a retrigger nor a Golden Wild is guaranteed. A round can end before the counter is completed.
The return figure behind the catches
Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping It Reel RTP is published at 96.07% for one configuration. Check the information panel in the game you actually open, since casino versions can use different return settings.
That percentage describes theoretical return across a very large number of bets. It does not mean that a session returns 96.07% of its starting balance. The advertised maximum win is 10,000 times the stake, an upper limit rather than a likely result. Larger bets increase the amount exposed on each spin without making the fisherman more likely to appear.
Why this edition stands out
Its strongest advantages are visible in the way the bonus develops.
- The net gives uncollected fish a further role, adding interest to spins without a regular fisherman.
- Golden Wilds create a distinct collection event that is easy to distinguish from ordinary line wins.
- A visible Wild counter makes retriggers and multiplier progression straightforward to follow.
- Ten paylines keep the base game readable while the collection feature supplies the extra detail.
