Pick your bet before the first spin, because it sets what every win is worth. Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a video slot with a fishing theme, played on a 5x3 grid. It has 10 fixed paylines, read from left to right, and a win needs at least 2 matching symbols on a line. Fish high symbols show a random money value on the reels.
Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to start 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. Wild Fisherman works on all 5 reels, and each Wild collects every visible money fish value at once. Wild Tracker counts Wild landings, and every 4th one adds a group milestone of 10 spins with a rising multiplier. Up to 3 retriggers add 30 more spins.
Big Bass Bonanza 1000
What happens in one round, from choosing your bet to the limit you set before the first spin.
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$375 before the first spin. The bet stakes all 10 fixed paylines, so A$0.20 and A$10 play the same game at different money values.
Wins run left to right across 10 fixed paylines on a 5x3 grid. Two matching symbols are enough to pay. WILD does not appear in the base game.
Fish high symbols show a random MONEY value on the reels. Two Scatters near a third can trigger a respin or a hook animation for a chance at a third Scatter.
Three, four or five Scatters start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins on special reels. A WILD Fisherman is active on all five reels during the round.
Decide the most you will lose in one session before the first spin. Stop when you reach that amount, even during a bonus round.
Each buy costs a fixed multiple of your bet, and at an A$10 bet the money cost is listed in the table below.

|---|---|---|
| BUY FREE SPINS at 100x | x100 · A$1,000 | – |

Deciding how long to stay on Big Bass Bonanza 1000 starts with one fact. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, and the RTP does not change that for any single session. Every spin stands on its own, so a quiet stretch tells you nothing about the next spin.
Before the first spin, check which RTP version you are playing. Which version we run is shown only in the game rules, so open them before you start. The rules set out the RTP for the version in use, and that is the figure to compare.
Before you plan around the top prize, know that the maximum win is a ceiling. It is reached very rarely, and no one can promise that any session will come near it. The figure is a limit on what the game can pay, not a target for your bet.
Still choosing
We list each game with its own rules, so you compare the figures before you choose.
You must be 18+ to play this game. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop to self-exclude.
Decide how much you can lose before the first spin and keep that sum apart from bills and rent. Once it is gone, the session is over.
Set your stop point before you spin, and keep it after a big win too. A bonus round does not change the limit you set.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you start, and check them when you log in again.
Take a break or self-exclude as soon as the game stops being fun, and do not chase a loss to make up for it.
Fewer surprises ahead
Milkyway Casino puts the RTP, limits and rules on the page so you can decide before you bet.
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 has an RTP of 96.51 percent. The figure is based on A$100 staked, so the game returns A$96.51 per A$100 bet over a very long run. It does not show what a single session will return.
Land three, four or five Scatters in a round and the free spins start. Three Scatters give 10 spins, four give 15 and five give 20. Two Scatters in the base game can lead to a respin or a hook animation with a chance at a third.
The lowest bet on Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is A$0.10 per spin. The paytable is shown at A$0.20, so you can read what each symbol pays at a small stake. Bets go up to A$375.
The maximum win is x20,000 of the bet. At the example bet of A$10 that comes to A$200,000. The bet size sets the money amount, so a larger bet raises the cap in money.
