The fisherman's back, and he's brought a bigger boat. Bigger Bass Bonanza is Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom's first sequel to the smash-hit Big Bass Bonanza — same money-fish collection magic, but with an extra payline or two, a punchier max win, and a Bazooka that blasts fish onto the reels. Here's the honest rundown on how it plays at Class 777.
It's a very high volatility pokie with a 96.71% RTP and a 4,000x max win — nearly double the original's ceiling, and a swingier ride to match. As always with Big Bass, the free spins are everything. Below I'll cover the retrigger multipliers, the Bazooka, how it compares, and how to play it sensibly.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Bigger Bass cranks the volatility up to the maximum 5/5, so the base game can be brutally quiet — the whole game is really about reaching the free spins and stacking Fisherman collects. The retrigger multiplier is the dream, but it needs a long, lucky bonus to climb. Keep your stake small enough to survive the dry spells, and never chase the feature with bigger bets; that's how very-high-vol games catch people out."What is Bigger Bass Bonanza and how do you win?
Bigger Bass Bonanza is a Pragmatic Play / Reel Kingdom pokie on a 5-reel grid with 12 paylines — win by landing 3 or more matching symbols left to right. The heart of the game is the free spins: money-fish carry cash values, and the Fisherman Wild collects every visible money-fish value when he lands. Collect enough Fishermen and the multiplier climbs.

Here's the retrigger ladder — every 4th Fisherman lifts the multiplier:
That escalating multiplier is the engine behind a big Bigger Bass win — but it takes a long, lucky free-spins run to reach the top. The original Big Bass Bonanza uses the same ladder with a smaller 2,100x ceiling, while Big Bass Bonanza 1000 blows the cap out to 20,000x.
What is the Bazooka feature — and how does it compare?
Bigger Bass adds a fun twist to the bonus. If a Fisherman lands during free spins but there are no money-fish on the reels to collect, the Bazooka can fire and blast extra money-fish onto the grid — giving the Fisherman something to reel in. Here's the idea:
It's a small but meaningful touch that stops a promising Fisherman going to waste. Here's how Bigger Bass Bonanza sits next to its siblings at Class 777:
| Metric | Bigger Bass Bonanza | Big Bass Bonanza | Big Bass Bonanza 1000 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTP (standard) | 96.71% | 96.71% | 96.51% | All operator-configurable |
| Volatility | Very high | High | High | Bigger Bass swings hardest |
| Max win | 4,000x | 2,100x | 20,000x | 1000 has the top ceiling |

Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "On a maximum-volatility game like Bigger Bass, bankroll management matters more than anything. I'd set a session budget I'm completely comfortable losing, pick a small stake so it lasts through the inevitable dead spins, and walk away when it's gone — win or lose. The retrigger multiplier is thrilling when it hits, but it's rare; treating the game as paid entertainment, not a money-maker, is the only sustainable way to enjoy it."How do you start playing Bigger Bass Bonanza at Class 777?

Who is Bigger Bass Bonanza best for — and how do you play it responsibly?
Bigger Bass Bonanza suits experienced players who love the fishing collect feature and can handle very high volatility for a shot at the retrigger multiplier. Prefer a steadier ride? The original Big Bass Bonanza and Fishin' Frenzy are gentler; chasing a bigger ceiling, Big Bass Bonanza 1000 reaches 20,000x.
More to explore at Class 777: fishing fans should try Big Bass Splash and Big Bass Splash 1000, or the ocean-themed Razor Shark; for big-multiplier tumbles there's Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza; and other favourites include Book of Dead, Wolf Gold, The Dog House 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 very-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, Bigger Bass Bonanza is a bigger, bolder cast of a beloved fishing favourite — just enjoy it for the thrill, not the rent. Check the latest bonus at Class 777 and reel them in on your own terms.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Set your loss limit before the first spin — on a 5/5 volatility game, it's non-negotiable. 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 long cold run tempts you to top up chasing the multiplier. The big fish don't owe you a bonus; protect your bankroll and the chase stays fun."
