One Wild, two $10 fish, and a board left unfilled

Big Bass Bonanza hangs a ladder of twelve fisherman portraits over its reels, then lets a round end on the first rung. The board is permanent: the fourth, eighth and twelfth slots carry ten extra Free Spins and a Multiplier that steps from x2 to x3 to x10. The climb is not. The round this build dealt brought three Scatters, ten Free Spins, one Wild and two Money Collect fish at $10 each — $20.50 on a $1 stake, the rest of the board left unfilled. That distance is what High volatility means here, and nothing pressed mid-round shortens it; the only number that changes what such a round pays is the stake, chosen before the first Scatter lands.

How the game plays out

One symbol controls the only state change in Big Bass Bonanza: the Scatter. Three or more on the 5x3 grid move play from the base game into Free Spins, the round where the Wild first appears and collects Money values. Both states share 10 Lines, High volatility and a 96.71% RTP.

Base Game: Ten Lines pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win on each counts. The Scatter lands on all five reels here while the Wild never lands, so 3, 4 or 5 Scatters are the one event that ends this state, awarding 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Until then the Fish pays like any other symbol; its Money value waits.
Free Spins: Special reels replace the base set, and the Wild now lands on all five reels. Each one collects every Money value in view, and every fourth Wild on the 12-slot tracker adds 10 spins and steps the Multiplier up: x2, then x3, then x10, with three retriggers the limit. The state ends when the spins run out or the round total reaches 2100x, which forfeits any spins left.
