Big Bass Blast at Richroyal Casino: what you need to know before your first spin
A fishing-themed slot from Pragmatic Play where Money symbols and Fisherman Wilds collect values in the base game and guaranteed bonus round. 96.50% RTP, high volatility.
A high-volatility fishing slot with money collection
Reels, paylines and random values. Big Bass Blast is a fishing-themed slot across 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines, released in 2026 by Pragmatic Play. Money symbols land at random values each spin; a Fisherman Wild on reel 1 or 5 collects those values, sometimes boosted by a multiplier badge. High volatility means wins come less often and can be much bigger. The standard RTP is 96.50%.
Choose your bet and your odds. This slot suits you if you have a larger bankroll and can accept long stretches without a win in exchange for bigger payouts when they land. The example top bet of NZ$5 per spin means you control your stake—drop to NZ$0.50 to reduce your swing or stay at NZ$5 if bigger wins excite you. The Ante Bet option costs 1.5 times your stake and raises the RTP to 96.51%, but only if you choose it.
Big Bass Blast free spins guarantee a fisherman. Free Spins reshape every round into a guaranteed money collection. You trigger it by landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters (5, 7 or 9 spins), or buy it for 100 times your bet. On every free spin, at least one Fisherman Wild lands on reel 1 or 5 and collects all Money symbols on screen. Every seventh Fisherman collected retriggers 5 more spins and raises the collection multiplier, stacking your potential wins.

From the base game to free spins
How do you unlock free spins?
How the collection tracker works. Three or more scatters anywhere on screen award 5, 7 or 9 free spins. You can also purchase free spins for 100 times your total bet. During free spins, a guaranteed fisherman wild lands on reel 1 or 5 every spin, collecting all money-symbol values on screen. Every seventh fisherman collected retriggered the feature for five more spins and raises the money-collection multiplier.
What happens when wilds appear? In the base game, matching symbols pay across 10 fixed paylines from left to right on adjacent reels. Money symbols take a random value between 0.5 and 500 times your total bet each spin. When a fisherman wild lands on reel 1 or 5, it collects all money values on screen and may be boosted by a random multiplier badge of x2, x3 or x10.

Don't count on knowing when the bonus arrives
When it lands, nobody knows. The bonus round triggers at random: no pattern tells you when free spins will come. A scatter landing on the reels starts it, but when that happens is entirely chance. You might reach it quickly or play many spins without seeing it.
Play one round, get any result. One session's outcome is random no matter what the RTP says. The RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Your individual result could be far above, far below or anywhere between, with no way to predict which.
Big wins stay out of reach. The maximum win of NZ$1,800,000 is a ceiling you can reach, but you cannot plan for it. Wins that large come so rarely that a player might never see one. It remains on the table, just almost never in reach.
