Play Big Bass Return to the Races: Big Bass Jackpot Bonanza

Fans of Pragmatic’s Big Bass fishing slot series will be delighted with the addition of the Big Bass Jackpot Bonanza. Launched by the developer in late 2025, this progressive jackpot catapults your win potential on this popular slot series to never-before-seen heights. 

The series’ Big Bass Return to the Races game has been given the progressive jackpot treatment, offering uncapped wins outside of the in-game 5,000x max win.  

A 5x3 fishing slot with ten fixed paylines running left to right, this high-volatility game retains all the classic features from the iconic series, including free spins with cash collecta, the Golden Cup bonus game, and now the chance to win one of four jackpot prizes.  

To start playing, log in to your account and hit the game tile at the top of this page to launch the game. If you are new to our platform and don’t yet have an account, hit the ‘sign up’ button and follow the prompts to register and play today.   

New players can also claim our welcome bonus if signing up for the first time. You can read more about it and find out how to claim yours on our offers page. 

The game opens at the racetrack, miles from the usual angling hotspots, where you usually find the classic reel set. The graphics are similar to other games in the series, but this time, fish money symbols are replaced by racehorses, and the game’s scatter symbol shows the fisherman riding a horse. 

Use the plus and minus buttons to toggle through your wagering options and set your bet per spin, then hit the branded Pragmatic spin button to start your game. 

To score regular base game wins, match three or more identical pay symbols on consecutive reels along one of the game’s ten fixed paylines. Pay symbols include low-paying royals and a host of thematic premium payers, including binoculars, picnic baskets, and champagne. 

The paytable shows payouts you can expect when playing with a £1.00 per spin wager:

Free Spins Bonus 

To activate the free spins bonus game, you need to land three or more scatter symbols on a single base game spin, which awards the following:  

• 3x scatter = 10 free spins 
• 4x scatter = 15 free spins 
• 20x scatter = 20 free spins 

Occasionally, if you only get two scatters in the base game, a special feature will kick in to deliver the third and final scatter symbol required to hit that bonus game trigger.  

Pick Your Bonus 

When the bonus is activated, you are taken to a pick screen showing 12 face-down playing cards. You must select a card to determine whether you enter the regular free spins bonus or the Golden Cup bonus game.  

Free Spins Bonus 

The free spins game is where the friendly fisherman makes an appearance, as a wild symbol to help you complete payline wins, and as a collect symbol, reeling in the rewards from racehorse money symbols. Instant cash prizes range between 2x and 5,000x the bet. 

Each time the fisherman appears in the bonus, he is also collected in the progress trail that runs along the top of the reels. Every fourth one collected retriggers the bonus with ten additional free spins and awards a win multiplier that is applied to all your new spins. The first multiplier is 2x, then 3x, and finally 10x.  

Golden Cup Free Spins 

This alternative bonus game is played on a modified reel set where only fisherman wilds and money symbols land. The cash collection mechanism and progression trail are also active in this version of the bonus.   

Big Bass Jackpot Bonanza 

To get your hands on one of the four progressive jackpot prizes, you need to enter the bonus game, which can be activated on any spin of the game. You are taken to a special pick bonus screen, where you must match three identical symbols to win the corresponding prize: either the minor, major, mega, or grand jackpots.
