Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is a 5x3 fishing video slot with high volatility. This page covers its figures, bonus modes, costs and the rules for players in Australia.
The demo is free; the real game needs an account and a player aged 18+.
Each spin lands on a 5x3 grid, and wins pay along 10 fixed paylines read from left to right. Two matching symbols on a line can already pay. Fishing gear and fish fill the reels, and the fish carry money values you can see before each spin. WILD does not show up in the base game, so the fish values and the ten lines do most of the work.
Three, four or five Scatters on the reels start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. A WILD Fisherman covers all five reels and collects every visible fish value at once. A Wild Tracker marks every fourth WILD with a milestone of 10 spins and a multiplier that rises x2, then x3, then x10. Retriggers stop after three, adding 30 spins in total.

Big Bass Bonanza 1000
Use these screens when a bonus starts and you want to know what each display means.
Know your payout path
Settles what happens from your first bet to the payout and how free spins begin.
The five reels spin on the stake you set, between A$0.10 and A$375, and the 10 fixed paylines pay at every level.
Matching symbols that land left to right on a payline form a win, and two of a kind is enough to pay. Wild does not appear in the base game.
Fish high symbols show random MONEY values on the reels, and a near miss with two Scatters can trigger a respin or hook animation.
Three, four or five Scatters that land on the reels trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels, with the Wild Fisherman active on all five reels.
The reels cannot show how a session will end, and no one can know in advance when a bonus comes. Set a money and time limit before the first spin.
3 modes to know
Not sure how free spins start or what each mode gives you?
3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. WILD Fisherman is active on all 5 reels, and each landed WILD collects all visible MONEY FISH values. Every 4th WILD fills the Wild Tracker with +10 free spins, climbing x2, x3, then x10.
Base gameExtra spins
Super Free Spins put 15 spins on the reels with a significantly enhanced probability of a 1000x MONEY FISH value appearing. The same WILD Fisherman collection applies, and the Wild Tracker retriggers with x2, x3, then x10.
Base gameChance at 1000x
The 5x3 reels run 10 fixed paylines, left to right, with no WILD. Fish high symbols show random MONEY values. A near miss with two Scatters can trigger a respin, where the Scatters drop one row, or a hook animation with a chance at a third Scatter.

Each buy price is a fixed multiple of the bet, so the table shows the cost at the top example bet.

| BUY SUPER FREE SPINS | x450 · A$900 | – |
Across many spins, the reels hand back part of every A$100 staked, and that share is the return to player. The version this casino runs is shown in the game rules.
| RTP version | RTP | Provider default |
|---|---|---|
| Variant 1 | 96.51% | Yes |
Two Scatters on the reels may trigger a respin or a hook animation, and the chance of a third Scatter after that is random. The bonus round therefore comes at no fixed point in a session, and no spin count tells you when it will land. The RTP describes the long run, so one session can end well above or well below the stake.
Every spin on the reels runs on one RTP version, and the game rules are the only place that names it. Other versions in this series differ in RTP and maximum win, so the version in the rules is the one that counts.
Spins on the reels rarely reach the ceiling. The maximum win is the upper edge of what the game can pay, and it is reached very rarely, so do not expect it from a session or a bet.
Play without stakes
Settles what the demo costs and what the real game asks of you before you play.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account with Lincoln Casino and the legal age of 18.
Spin nowClear answers, fast
Lincoln Casino answers each question in plain terms, so you know the rules before you play.
Three, four or five Scatters start the free spins, giving 10, 15 or 20 free spins on special reels. Two visible Scatters in the base game can randomly trigger a respin or a hook animation for a chance at a third Scatter.

Decide how much you can afford to lose on Big Bass Bonanza 1000 before you start, and stop when that amount is gone.
Set your stopping point before the first spin and keep to it after a win too. A winning run is a reason to stop.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you play, so a bad session cannot run past them.
If the game stops being fun, take a break and step away from the screen. Self-exclude through BetStop if you need more time.
Deciding what to try
Useful after a session, when you want to compare other slots before picking the next one.
