A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines gives this fishing game its ocean setting. Symbols pay from left to right, and two matching symbols on a payline are enough for a win. Speedboats, dragonflies and tackle boxes are among the fishing symbols. MONEY symbols can land on the reels in the base game, but they only collect during Free Spins.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 20 spins. In those spins, FISHERMAN WILD lands on all five reels and collects the value of each MONEY symbol on screen. Every fourth collected WILD adds 10 spins with a rising multiplier. A card pick before each round can bring more fish or a higher multiplier ladder.

Round guide
At 888 Casino we explain each stage in order, so you know what comes next.
Before the first spin you set a bet from A$0.10 up to A$500. The paytable uses A$0.20 as its example, and every payout scales with the stake you choose.
Base Game runs on 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines. Symbols pay from left to right, and MONEY symbols sit on the reels but cannot be collected here.
Base Game shows MONEY symbols that wait for Free Spins. FISHERMAN WILD and the multiplier ladder appear only once a round starts, so base game wins come only from symbol pays.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Then Pick a Card shows one of 12 face-down cards before the round begins.
Set your stake and budget before the first spin. A Free Spins round ends at once when total win reaches 5,000x the bet. National Gambling Helpline 1800 858 858.
At an A$5 bet, each buy price is a fixed multiple of the bet, and the table gives the money for every feature.
| Paid feature | Stake multiple | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$500 | – |
| Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance | x160 · A$800 | – |
| Buy Mega Free Spins | x1,250 · A$6,250 | – |
A$100 staked is the basis of the return to player figure, which shows the share paid back over a long run, never in one session. The version run here is shown in the game rules.

Four ways to play
This settles how free spins start, what happens inside, and what the paid options cost.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols trigger 10, 15 or 20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD lands on all 5 reels, collecting MONEY values on a 12-slot meter. Every 4th collected WILD adds 10 spins and climbs a 2x, 3x, 10x ladder. Total win of 5,000x your bet ends the round.
Base gameFree spins round
Before every free spins round, except the guaranteed MEGA buy, you pick 1 of 12 face-down cards. The cards show regular Free Spins, MORE FISH (more or bigger MONEY symbols), HIGHER MULTIPLIERS (4x/6x/20x ladder), 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER (3 collected WILDs), or MEGA (all three combined).
Triggered free spinsA chosen modifier
A chrome wheel decides at the end of each free spins round. The green REEL REPEAT! half restarts the round with the same initial spin count and modifier odds, keeping every win so far. The plain red half does not. Ante Bet at 16x or 25x enables it.
Free spins endA restarted round
Buy Free Spins starts a free spins round without waiting for SCATTER symbols. Each bought round still shows Pick a Card first, and the MEGA buy always comes with all three modifiers. Setting Ante Bet to 15x or 25x disables this purchase.

Demo Mode
Most readers worry the demo will quietly take money from their account.
A$0 is the stake in the demo, which needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at 888 Casino and the legal age of 18+.
Play for real96.51% is the RTP for A$100 staked, but it does not describe a single session. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Whatever the RTP, the result of one session is random and can end well above or well below the stake.
96.50% to 96.52% is the RTP range across the Big Bass titles, and this slot is set at 96.51%. Which RTP version is live here is shown only in the game rules. Read those rules before you compare this slot with another Big Bass title, because the same name can carry a different RTP.
x5,000 is the ceiling on what this slot can pay, and it is reached very rarely. At the A$5 example bet it equals A$25,000. With the A$500 bet limit, the same multiple equals A$2,500,000. Treat the ceiling as a fact about the game, not a goal for any session.
Before the reels start
Four short answers on trying, volatility, the bonus buy and the RTP before you bet.
Big Bass Reel Repeat starts at A$0.10 a spin. The example bets are A$0.20, A$1 and A$5, so a small stake lets you learn the 5x3 grid first. Win amounts grow with the bet, since the maximum win is a multiple of it.
The game has high volatility, so wins come less often but can be larger. The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet, which is A$25,000 at the example top bet of A$5. No one can say in advance when a big round will arrive.
Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the bet. The Repeat Chance version costs 160 times, and Buy Mega Free Spins costs 1,250 times the bet, without the pick card. Buying is switched off when the Ante Bet is set to 15x or 25x.
The RTP of Big Bass Reel Repeat is 96.51%, so the game returns A$96.51 of every A$100 staked over a long run. The other Big Bass titles carry their own RTP values. One session can end far above or below that average.
