Pragmatic Play · 2025
Big Bass Reel Repeat is a 5x3 fishing video slot from Pragmatic Play with high volatility. This page shows its figures, bonus rounds and how play runs.
The demo is free; the real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Choosing to spin Big Bass Reel Repeat puts you in a fishing and ocean theme on a 5x3 grid: five reels and three rows. The base game has 10 fixed paylines, and symbols pay from left to right. A win can start with just two matching symbols on a line. The paytable covers fishing symbols such as the Speedboat and Tackle Box, plus the A, K, Q and J cards.
Going for the Free Spins brings the real differences. Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere start 10, 15 or 20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD then lands on all five reels and collects every MONEY symbol on screen. Each fourth collected WILD adds 10 spins. A pick card before each round can add more fish or raise the multipliers.

Know the trigger rules
This block shows how each bonus starts, what you choose, and how the repeat wheel works.
Keep playing until 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols land anywhere. They give 10, 15 or 20 free spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears only here, on all five reels, and collects the value of every MONEY symbol on screen. Every fourth collected WILD retriggers 10 more spins.

Pick one of 12 face-down cards before each Free Spins round, except Buy Mega Free Spins, which always shows MEGA. The card shows regular Free Spins, MORE FISH, HIGHER MULTIPLIERS, 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER or MEGA. HIGHER MULTIPLIERS sets the ladder to 4x, 6x and 20x.
Before each roundChosen modifier
Choose Ante Bet at 16x or 25x, or buy BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE, to get Reel Repeat. At the end of each round, a chrome wheel decides. The green half restarts the round with the same spin count and modifier odds, keeping all wins so far.

Decide to start a Free Spins round now, without waiting for SCATTER symbols. Buy Free Spins, Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance and Buy Mega Free Spins are the three purchase options. Setting Ante Bet to 15x or 25x disables this purchase option.

Big Bass Reel Repeat
This block settles how one round moves from your bet to the end of the session.
Pick your bet first, from A$0.10 up to A$500. A$0.20, A$5 and A$10 are example bets here, and the bet you choose sets the money value of every win.
Read each payline from the leftmost reel, since wins form left to right. Ten fixed paylines cross the grid, and two matching symbols in a row can pay.
Keep an eye on MONEY symbols during the base game, since you cannot collect them until Free Spins begin. Their values only matter once the bonus round starts.
Watch for three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere to start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Choose one of 12 face-down cards before the round starts.
Set your limit before the first spin, because no one knows how a session will end. Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 if play stops feeling fun.
Each buy costs a fixed multiple of your bet, so at A$10, the top bet used on this page, the prices sit in the table below.
| Paid extra | Buy cost | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$1,000 | – |
| Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance | x160 · A$1,600 | – |
| Buy Mega Free Spins | x1,250 · A$12,500 | – |
Return to player is the share of each stake paid back over a long run, based on A$100 staked. Single sessions vary widely. Retrobet lists the version it runs in the game rules.

Trial Mode
At Retrobet Casino, we want you comfortable with the reels before any money moves.
Pick the demo to learn the game, since it needs no money and pays nothing. Pick real play only with a casino account and at 18+.
Play for realDeciding how long to keep spinning before a Free Spins round arrives has no fixed answer, because the bonus round comes at random. It can land on any spin, and no number of spins before it is fixed. Even at the stated RTP of 96.51, one session stays random, so a short run or a long run says nothing about the next one.
Before you start a session, check which RTP version runs on this game. Retrobet names the version in the game rules, so open those rules first. Treat them as the final word on the version, and let them decide which figure applies to the game you are playing.
Deciding how much to stake starts with the ceiling, which sits at x5,000 of the bet. The game reaches that maximum win very rarely, and no session can promise it. Keep each stake within a budget you can afford to lose, and treat the top figure as a limit rather than an expectation.
Picking your next spin
Retrobet lays out each game the same plain way, so comparing titles before a spin takes little effort.
You must be 18+ to play. In Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and stop when that amount is gone.
Choose your stopping point before the first spin, and keep to it after a big win too.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you start, so the choice is made before the reels turn.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or register with BetStop to self-exclude, and let the session end there.
Big Bass Reel Repeat
Once you finish here, you will know what this game asks of your bankroll before your first spin.
Big Bass Reel Repeat has high volatility. That means wins can be less frequent but larger when they land, so a session may run a long time without a big return. Plan your bankroll with that in mind.
The maximum win is 5,000 times your bet. At the A$10 example bet, that is A$50,000, and at the A$500 highest bet it is A$2,500,000. A round ends as soon as its total win reaches the cap.
This version has an RTP of 96.51%, a long-run average calculated on A$100 staked. It does not predict what one session returns, since short sessions swing well above or below that average. Other Big Bass versions carry their own RTP figures.
Yes, the Free Spins round can be bought. Buy Free Spins costs 100 times your bet, which is A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet, and Buy Mega Free Spins costs 1,250 times your bet. The Ante Bet at 15x or 25x switches the purchase off.
The bet runs from A$0.10 to A$500 per spin. The examples on this page use A$0.20, A$5 and A$10, and the Ante Bet raises the total cost by 2.5 times at its highest level. Pick a stake that fits your budget before you spin.
Reel Repeat can restart a Free Spins round at the Ante Bet's 16x or 25x level, or when Repeat Chance is bought. Big Bass Splash 1000 has a higher maximum win of 25,000 times the bet, while the other versions in the series keep the 5,000 times cap.
