From choosing your stake to cashing out: the round structure
You'll know what happens from the moment you set your bet to when the reels stop turning.

1
Where your bet starts
Set your wager anywhere from A$0.10 to A$375 before you spin. You can also add an Ante Bet to raise your stake by 50 percent—at A$0.50, this takes you to A$0.75 per spin. Choose your bet size and confirm to lock it in.

Matching symbols and paylines explained
Three or more matching symbols across the 10 paylines trigger a win, reading left to right across the reels. Fish Bobbers pay from just two symbols; all other symbols need three to form a winning combination on a single payline.

Big Bass Bonanza 1000 brings near-miss moments
Fish symbols on the reels display random money values you can see instantly. During a base game spin, land two Scatters and the game may randomly award you a respin, or show a hook animation that gives you a chance to land a third Scatter without using another bet.
-
4
When the bonus round starts
Land three, four or five Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to unlock 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The triggering Scatters vanish, and your free spins begin on a special set of reels with the Fisherman wild symbol active.

What you'll see on the reels
You'll recognise the game board, the symbols, when free spins trigger and what a win looks like.
From base game to bonus: how multipliers grow
Free spins and wild collection
Three or more Scatters unlock 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. The Wild Fisherman appears on all five reels, collecting all visible money fish values at once. Every fourth wild triggers a milestone with a multiplier—first x2, then x3, then x10—plus 10 extra spins.
Standard versus super free spins
Buy 15 spins at 450 times your bet to start with significantly boosted odds of the 1000x money fish appearing. The Wild Fisherman collects mechanism and milestone retrigger system work identically: every fourth wild brings a multiplier boost and 10 additional spins.
How the base game sets up bonuses
Five reels and three rows spin with 10 fixed paylines left to right. Fish symbols carry random money values visible on the reels. Land two Scatters and the game randomly offers either a respin—where Scatters drop one row—or a hook animation for a chance at the third Scatter needed.
Bonus buys and ante bets available
Which way suits you: demo or real money?
Practice with no money at stake?

Play demoFrom practice to real stakes
Real money play uses your Shark Casino account balance, and wins or losses affect your account. Every spin on the live reels carries real stakes and real payouts, so set your bet size and decide whether to buy free spins or use the ante bet to shape your session.
Play for moneyUnderstand what remains unknowable
When bonus rounds arrive
The Free Spins round arrives by chance whenever a third Scatter lands. No pattern predicts when that happens, and some sessions may never trigger the bonus at all.
Your session stands alone
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 returns 96.51% across many sessions, but your single session result depends entirely on luck. You may win or lose regardless of what the RTP promises.
Expect the exceptional
The maximum win of A$7,500,000 is the ceiling on what this slot can pay. Reaching it happens so rarely that planning around that figure means accepting long odds.
