Pragmatic Play · 2025
Big Bass Reel Repeat is a 5x3 Pragmatic Play video slot with a Fishing and Ocean theme and high volatility. Check the figures before your first spin.
Choose this slot if you like a fishing and ocean theme on a 5x3 grid. The game has 10 fixed paylines, and symbols pay from left to right. Two matching symbols are enough for a payout, so short runs can pay. Speedboats, dragonflies, tackle boxes and the card symbols A, K, Q and J fill the reels. MONEY symbols can land on the reels, but they are only collected during Free Spins.
Pick this slot over a plain reel game if you want bonus choices. Three, four or five SCATTER symbols start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Each round opens with a Pick a Card step. In Free Spins, FISHERMAN WILD collects every MONEY symbol on screen, and every fourth collected WILD adds 10 spins with a rising multiplier.

Round walkthrough
At Winx96 Casino we explain each step as the game sets it, without guesses.
Choose a bet from A$0.10 to A$500 before you spin. The 10 fixed paylines are always active, so each spin uses your full bet.
Read each payline from the leftmost reel to the right. Two matching symbols in a row already win. MONEY symbols can land here, but they only collect value in Free Spins.
Expect base game wins from symbols alone, across 5 reels and 3 rows. The FISHERMAN WILD and the multiplier ladder belong to Free Spins only.
Land 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere to trigger 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Then pick one of 12 face-down cards before the round starts.
Set a session budget before the first spin, since no one can tell when Free Spins will land. Bets run from A$0.10 to A$500, so one big bet drains a budget fast.
Extra spins, bigger multipliers
After reading this, you will know how each bonus round starts and what extra features cost.
Land 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols to start 10, 15 or 20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears only here, on all 5 reels, and collects every MONEY symbol on screen. Every 4th collected WILD retriggers +10 spins on a 2x/3x/10x ladder. The round ends when total win reaches 5,000x.
Base gameBonus spins
You pick 1 of 12 face-down cards before each Free Spins round, except the MEGA buy: regular Free Spins, MORE FISH (more or bigger MONEY symbols), HIGHER MULTIPLIERS (ladder 4x/6x/20x), 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER (threshold lowered from 4 to 3 collected WILDs) or MEGA (all three modifiers).
Before the roundA round modifier
Set Ante Bet to 16x or 25x, or buy BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE. At the end of a Free Spins round, a chrome wheel decides if the round restarts. A restart keeps the same spin count and modifier odds, plus all wins so far.
Round endA full restart
Buy Free Spins starts a Free Spins round on purchase instead of on SCATTER symbols. Ante Bet at 15x/25x disables this purchase option. A bought round still starts with the Pick a Card step, and BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE also unlocks Reel Repeat.
Before any spinFree Spins now
Check the price before you buy: it is a multiple of the bet, so at A$1 the Buy Free Spins option costs A$100.
| Bet type | Amount paid | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$100 | – |
| Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance | x160 · A$160 | – |
| Buy Mega Free Spins | x1,250 · A$1,250 | – |
Check the return before you pick a bet. The return to player is the share of each A$100 staked that comes back over time. The version running here is shown in the game rules.

Big Bass Reel Repeat
The common worry is not knowing what a bonus screen looks like before the first spin.
Demo mode
At Winx96 Casino, the demo comes first, so you see the reels before any stake.
Pick the demo to learn the reels, since it needs no money and pays nothing. Choose real play with a Winx96 Casino account, once you are 18 or older.
Play for moneyChoosing when to stop depends on a number nobody can see: how often the bonus round arrives. That frequency is not known in advance, and the result of a single session is random whatever the RTP says. Two players with the same bet can finish far apart after the same number of spins.
Picking a bet starts with knowing which RTP version this lobby runs, and that detail appears only in the game rules. Open the rules before your first spin and read the RTP line there before comparing any other figure. Expected return only holds across many rounds, so one session can land far from it.
Deciding to chase the top prize means treating the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. The maximum win of Big Bass Reel Repeat is reached very rarely. Plan each session around your bankroll, not around that figure, and stop when the budget you set is gone.
After Big Bass Reel Repeat
Useful when this slot does not suit your bankroll and you want another Pragmatic Play option.
Know the game first
The answers below settle the bonus cost, volatility, bets and top win before you place a stake.
Big Bass Reel Repeat has three bought free spins options. At A$1, Buy Free Spins costs A$100, the Repeat Chance version A$160 and Buy Mega Free Spins A$1,250. The price is a fixed multiple of the bet, and Ante Bet at 15x or 25x turns the purchase off.
This slot carries high volatility. High volatility means wins tend to come in larger, less frequent bursts, so long quiet stretches are part of the game. How often the bonus lands cannot be known in advance.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start the free spins, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins. Before each round, Pick a Card reveals one of twelve face-down cards that can change the rules.
Big Bass Splash 1000 is the outlier, with a 96.52 RTP and a 25,000x maximum win. Big Bass Blast, Big Bass Football Bonanza and Big Bass Trophy Catch run at 96.50 with a 5,000x cap. Big Bass Raceday Repeat matches this slot on both RTP and cap.
The lowest bet is A$0.10 and the highest is A$500. Tables on this page use A$0.50 and A$1 as examples only. At its top level, Ante Bet multiplies the total bet by 2.5, so A$1 becomes A$2.50.
The round ends as soon as total win reaches 5,000x the bet. At a A$1 bet that is A$5,000, and at the A$500 top bet it is A$2,500,000. Because the cap is a multiple of the bet, the money figure grows with every bet step.
The legal age is 18+. Help is one call away on the National Gambling Helpline, 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before the first spin. Once it is gone, close the game, even when the balance on screen still looks high.
Decide your stopping point before you start, and keep it after a big win too. A large win is not a reason to keep playing.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so a bad run ends on its own.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun. If you cannot stop playing, self-exclude through BetStop.
