Big Bass Bonanza 1000 Pokie Review — Class 777

Last updated: 13-06-2026

The fisherman's chasing a record catch. Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom's super-charged remake of the original Big Bass Bonanza — the same beloved money-fish collection, but with the win cap blown wide open to a colossal 20,000x. Here's the honest rundown on how it plays at Class 777.

It's a high volatility pokie with a 96.51% RTP and a 20,000x max win — nearly ten times the original's ceiling. The core gameplay is almost identical; what's changed is the size of the dream. Below I'll cover the way the bonus triggers, how that huge win is built, how it compares, and how to play it sensibly.

Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Don't let the '1000' fool you — the top money-fish here is actually 1,000x, half the original's 2,000x. What changed is the max win cap, now 20,000x, which only matters in a near-perfect free-spins run. This plays just like Big Bass Bonanza, so the bonus is everything and the base game is quiet. Keep your stake small, chase the boats patiently, and treat 20,000x as a fantasy, not a forecast."

What is Big Bass Bonanza 1000 and how do you win?

Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a Pragmatic Play / Reel Kingdom pokie on a classic 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 paylines. The free spins are the heart of it: money-fish carry values from 2x up to 1,000x, and the Fisherman Wild collects every visible money-fish value when he lands. Money-fish only pay during the free spins, so reaching the bonus is the whole game.

  • Studio: Pragmatic Play / Reel Kingdom — a remake of the 2020 original.
  • Grid: 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 fixed paylines.
  • RTP: 96.51% top setting — a 95.51% version also exists, so check the info screen at Class 777.
  • Volatility: High.
  • Max win: 20,000x your stake.
  • Money-fish: values 2x to 1,000x, collected by the Fisherman.
  • Free spins: 3 / 4 / 5 scatters award 10 / 15 / 20 spins, with retrigger multipliers up to 10x.
  • Bet range: roughly $0.10 to $250 a spin.

Here's a neat trigger touch — two scatters needn't be the end of the story:

BIG BASS BONANZA 1000 // TRIGGERING THE BONUS TWO SCATTERS? A NUDGE OR A HOOK CAN REEL IN THE THIRD 2 scatters NUDGE a scatter slides into view HOOK pulls a 3rd scatter in 3 SCATTERS BONUS! 3 → 10 spins 4 → 15 spins 5 → 20 spins An Ante Bet adds more scatters; the nudge and hook give near-misses a second chance. High volatility · max win 20,000x. 18+. Gamble responsibly.

Those little reel-in moments add a welcome jolt of hope to a near-miss. Once you're in the bonus, the goal is to stack money-fish and Fisherman collects. The original Big Bass Bonanza works the same way with a far smaller 2,100x cap, while Big Bass Splash 1000 pushes even higher to 25,000x.

How is that 20,000x win built — and how does it compare?

The huge ceiling comes from combining two things in the free spins: a big pile of collected money-fish (up to 1,000x each) and the retrigger multiplier, which climbs to 10x after enough Fishermen. Multiply a large collected total by 10x and you're in record-catch territory. Here's the maths:

BIG BASS BONANZA 1000 // REACHING 20,000x MONEY-FISH UP TO 1,000x, COLLECTED THEN MULTIPLIED COLLECTED FISH 2,000x × RETRIGGER MULT ×10 = UP TO 20,000x A Super Free Spins buy (450x) raises the chance of those big 1,000x money-fish. Illustrative values · the max is extremely rare. 18+. Gamble responsibly.

It's a simple formula, but reaching the top demands a near-perfect run. Here's how Big Bass Bonanza 1000 sits next to its relatives at Class 777:

Metric Big Bass Bonanza 1000 Big Bass Bonanza Big Bass Splash 1000 Notes
RTP (standard) 96.51% 96.71% 96.52% All operator-configurable
Volatility High High Very high Splash 1000 swings hardest
Max win 20,000x 2,100x 25,000x Both 1000s aim high
Top money-fish 1,000x 2,000x 1,000x Original fish pay biggest

New to terms like volatility, RTP or money symbols? The glossary lays them out in plain English.

Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "There are three ways in: the Ante Bet (+50% for more scatters), a 100x Buy for regular free spins, and a steep 450x Super Buy that boosts the chance of those 1,000x money-fish. None of them beat the RTP — the Super Buy in particular is a big lump that can vanish fast. If I'm chasing the bonus I lean on the Ante, and keep buys for the rare bit of fun with money set aside. Decide before you spin."

How do you start playing Big Bass Bonanza 1000 at Class 777?

A couple of minutes and you're casting off:

  3. Grab a welcome bonus if it suits, and read the wagering terms first.
  4. Open Big Bass Bonanza 1000, confirm the RTP on the info screen, and set a small bet for the variance.
  5. Spin for the bass scatters — three (or a nudged/hooked third) starts the free spins.
  6. Set a deposit limit and a session timer in account settings first. 18+ only.

Every result runs on a certified random number generator — no strategy changes the odds, and no bonus is ever "due". Sign up at Class 777 and you're ready to roll.

Who is Big Bass Bonanza 1000 best for — and how do you play it responsibly?

This is one for fishing fans who want the familiar collect feature with a dramatically bigger ceiling, and who can ride out high-vol dry spells. Prefer a steadier, smaller-ceiling ride? The original Big Bass Bonanza and Fishin' Frenzy are gentler; for an even bigger swing, Big Bass Splash 1000 reaches 25,000x.

More to explore at Class 777: fishing fans should try Bigger Bass Bonanza and Big Bass Splash, or the ocean-themed Razor Shark; for big-multiplier tumbles and bigger ceilings there's Sweet Bonanza 1000, Gates of Olympus 1000, Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus; and other favourites include Book of Dead, Wolf Gold and the jackpot giant Mega Moolah.

Whatever you choose, keep it in check. Pokies are entertainment, not income — the house edge never goes away, and a high-vol game can run cold for a long stretch before the bonus lands. Set a budget you're genuinely fine to lose, use the deposit limits and reality checks at Class 777, and never chase a loss. If the fun stops, free confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858), and BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, can block you from all licensed Australian operators at once. 18+ only.

Played with a small stake and a firm limit, Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a thrilling, record-chasing cast of a much-loved favourite — just enjoy it for the thrill, not the rent. Check the latest bonus at Class 777 and hunt the big one on your own terms.

Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Set your loss limit before the first spin. I put a deposit cap into the account settings at Class 777 the day I sign up — thirty seconds, and it makes the hard call for you when a cold run tempts you to top up chasing that 20,000x dream. The record catch doesn't owe you anything; protect your bankroll and the hunt stays fun."

FAQ

What is the Big Bass Bonanza 1000 pokie?
Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a supercharged remake of the original Big Bass Bonanza by Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom. Played on a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, it keeps the money-fish collection feature but raises the max win to a huge 20,000x, making it a big draw for players in Australia chasing a record catch.
What is the RTP of Big Bass Bonanza 1000 at Class 777?
The top RTP setting is 96.51%, with a lower 95.51% version also in circulation. Players in Australia should always check the game info screen on Class 777 to confirm which figure is running before playing.
How does the money-fish feature work?
During the free spins, money-fish carry random values from 2x up to 1,000x your bet. When a Fisherman Wild lands, he collects the value of every money-fish on screen. Money-fish only pay during the free spins, so reaching the bonus is the whole game for players in Australia.
How are the free spins triggered, and what is the nudge or hook?
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins. If only 2 scatters land, a third can still be reeled in — a scatter may nudge into view, or a hook may pull a reel to bring in an extra scatter and trigger the bonus.
How is the 20,000x max win reached?
The huge ceiling comes from collecting a large pile of money-fish (up to 1,000x each) and combining it with the retrigger multiplier, which climbs to 10x after enough Fishermen. Multiplying a big collected total by 10x is how the 20,000x is reached, though this is extremely rare for players in Australia.
Can you buy the bonus in Big Bass Bonanza 1000?
Yes. There is an Ante Bet (+50% for more scatters), a 100x Buy for regular free spins, and a 450x Super Buy that increases the chance of those 1,000x money-fish. None of these beat the RTP, so players in Australia should use them cautiously and only with money set aside for entertainment.
How do players in Australia start playing Big Bass Bonanza 1000 at Class 777?
Players in Australia register on Class 777, deposit, and open Big Bass Bonanza 1000 from the lobby. Given the high volatility and 20,000x ceiling, it is wise to confirm the RTP, set a small bet, and set deposit and session limits first. The game is strictly for players aged 18 and over.
