Choose a bet on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, set in a fishing and ocean theme. Symbols pay from left to right, and a win needs at least 2 matching symbols on a payline. Speedboats, dragonflies and tackle boxes sit among the card ranks A, K, Q and J. Three to five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins, which is where money symbols come into play.
Decide how to use the Ante Bet because most of this slot's features sit inside the Free Spins. The FISHERMAN WILD lands only there, on all five reels, and collects every MONEY symbol on screen. Each Free Spins round opens with a Pick a Card step, and the Ante Bet at 16x or 25x enables Reel Repeat.

After this, you will know how each bonus round starts and runs before you spin.
Landing 3/4/5 SCATTER anywhere starts Free Spins with 10/15/20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears only here on all 5 reels, collecting the value of each MONEY symbol. Every 4th collected WILD retriggers +10 spins on a 2x/3x/10x multiplier ladder, or 4x/6x/20x under HIGHER MULTIPLIERS. Total win of 5,000x ends the round.
Base GameExtra spins
You pick 1 of 12 face-down cards before every Free Spins round, except the MEGA buy. Cards reveal regular Free Spins, MORE FISH (more or bigger MONEY symbols), HIGHER MULTIPLIERS (ladder becomes 4x/6x/20x), 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER (3 collected WILD instead of 4), or MEGA (all three combined).

Pick Ante Bet at 16x or 25x, or purchase BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE. At the end of a round, a chrome wheel decides: green REEL REPEAT half restarts it with the same spin count and modifier odds, keeping all wins so far; plain red half does not.
Free Spins endingReplayed round
Choose Buy Free Spins to skip the Base Game and start a round for 100x your bet, which is A$200 at A$2. Ante Bet at 15x or 25x disables this purchase. BUY FREE SPINS + REPEAT CHANCE costs 160x and adds Reel Repeat.

Round guide
Read this before your first spin, when you want the order of a round in plain steps.
Pick a stake from A$0.10 up to A$500 before the reels spin. The paytable is set at A$0.20, the reference bet for the amounts it lists.
Check whether matching symbols line up from left to right on one of the 10 fixed paylines. Two matching symbols are the fewest that pay.
Spot MONEY symbols on the reels: they can land during the base game, but only Free Spins collects their value. Expect them to matter only once the bonus starts.
Watch for 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere on the grid, which start Free Spins of 10, 15 or 20 spins. A Pick a Card screen comes first.
Set your limit before the first spin. A Free Spins round ends at once when total win reaches 5,000x the bet, and no one can predict the result of a session.
Big Bass Reel Repeat
Useful when you want to see the base reels and bonus screens before you commit a stake.
Deciding how long to play Big Bass Reel Repeat depends on a bonus round nobody can time. Free Spins arrive at random, and no session shows how often they come. The RTP describes return over a very large number of spins, not the result of your session, which can end with a long dry run or a quick run of Free Spins.
Choosing a stake starts with knowing which RTP version runs in this game, and that detail is set out in the game rules. Read those rules before you place a bet, because the version applies to every spin you play. The return figures on this page refer to that version.
Setting a stake should account for the maximum win, which is 5,000 times the bet. At the A$2 top example bet, that ceiling is A$10,000, and the game reaches it very rarely. Reaching it is a ceiling, not an expectation.
Spin Without Stakes
Useful when you want to see the reels move before depositing any money.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Betway Casino and a legal age of 18+.
Start playingPlayers must be 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Choose the amount you can afford to lose before you start, and write it down before the first spin.
Set a time limit before you open the game, and stop when that time is up, even after a win.
Open the deposit and loss limits in your account before the first spin, and set them lower than you think you need.
If the game stops being fun, or you chase losses, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop.
Six questions, six replies
Most players worry about money spent before they understand the bets, the bonus and the odds.
Big Bass Reel Repeat starts at A$0.10 per spin and goes up to A$500, the highest bet allowed here. The paytable uses A$0.20 as its reference bet, while A$0.50 and A$2 are examples used on this page.
The game offers three purchases, and each one costs a multiple of the bet. At A$2, Buy Free Spins costs A$200 (100 times the bet), while Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance costs A$320. Buy Mega Free Spins costs A$2,500 at the same bet.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels start a Free Spins round of 10, 15 or 20 spins. Free Spins are the only round with the FISHERMAN WILD and collectible MONEY symbols. Players see a Pick a Card choice before every Free Spins round.
This slot has high volatility. High volatility means wins come less often than in low volatility games, but they can be larger. No one can say in advance when a bonus round will come or how a session will end.
The smallest bet is A$0.10 per spin, so a player can learn how a round runs at a small stake. The paytable is set for A$0.20, and the payouts on this page use that bet.
The RTP is 96.51 per cent, which means A$96.51 returned for every A$100 staked over a very long run. Only one RTP version is listed for this slot, so there is no other setting to choose. A single session can end well above or below that figure.
