What is the RTP of Big Bass Vegas 1000?

The theoretical RTP is 96.53% for base play and for both bonus buys. With the ante bet switched on, it is 96.52%.

What is the maximum win?

The maximum win is 15,000x the bet. If a free spins round reaches that amount, it ends immediately and remaining spins are forfeited. The game lists the odds of the max win at 1 in 2,289,377.

How do the red and blue fisherman meters work?

Blue and red Wild Fishermen are counted on separate meters. Every 4th fisherman on a meter adds 10 free spins and raises that colour's collection multiplier to 2x, 3x and then 10x. After level four, that meter cannot retrigger.

How much does the bonus buy cost?

Buy Free Spins costs 100x the base bet. Buy Super Free Spins costs 450x and needs only 3 fishermen of a colour to retrigger instead of 4. Both are disabled when the ante bet is active.

How many free spins can I win?

3, 4 or 5 Scatters award 15, 20 or 25 free spins. Each meter retrigger adds 10 more.

What values can the money fish have?

Each fish takes a random value of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x or 1000x the base bet, collected by Wild Fishermen during free spins.

Big Bass Vegas 1000 Guide: Rules, Twin Fisherman Meters and Super Free Spins

Big Bass Vegas 1000 slot by Pragmatic Play

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

Big Bass Vegas 1000 is the Reel Kingdom fishing formula moved to a neon Las Vegas strip, released by Pragmatic Play. The base game is a plain 5-reel, 10-line slot. The real game is in the free spins, where fish symbols carry cash values of up to 1000x and two colours of Wild Fisherman collect them.

The twist here is the split meter. Red and blue fishermen fill their own trails, and each trail has its own multiplier. We played the demo at a $2 bet, bought both bonus options and read every rules page so the numbers below come straight from the game.

How Big Bass Vegas 1000 works

The game runs on 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines. All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win is paid per line. The rules screen rates it Medium volatility, which is a little gentler than many fishing slots in this series.

The paytable at a $2 bet tops out with the pink speedboat: 5 pay $400 (200x the bet), and it is the only symbol that pays for 2 of a kind ($1). The flamingo pays $200 for 5, the fishing rod and the tackle box pay $100 each, and the fish symbol pays $40. A and K pay $20 for 5, while Q, J and 10 pay $10.

Bets in the demo ran from $0.10 to $375. The game opened at $2.

Special symbols: scatter, money fish and Wild Fisherman

The Scatter is a bass in a Vegas frame and appears on all reels. In the base game, when 2 Scatters land without a third, the game can try to bring one in: either a respin where the Scatter reels shift down one position and the other reels spin again, or a hook that pulls a reel up to reveal another Scatter.

The fish paying symbols double as MONEY symbols. On every spin they take a random value of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x or 1000x the base bet. Those values are only collected during free spins.

Wild Fisherman symbols come in blue and red, appear on all reels during free spins only, and substitute for everything except the Scatter and MONEY symbols. Two fishermen on a line also pay 2x the line bet on their own ($1 at a $2 bet).

Four Big Bass Vegas 1000 scatter symbols landing to trigger free spins — Four Scatters on our first buy, worth 20 free spins.

Free spins and the red and blue meters

Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to win 15, 20 or 25 free spins. Every Wild Fisherman that lands collects all MONEY symbol values on screen.

This is where the game differs from older Big Bass titles. Blue and red fishermen are counted on separate meters at the top and bottom of the screen. Every 4th fisherman on a meter retriggers the round for 10 more free spins and raises the collection multiplier for that colour only: 2x at level two, 3x at level three and 10x at level four. After the fourth level on a meter, that meter cannot retrigger again. So a red fisherman can be collecting at 3x while a blue one still collects at 1x.

Several random modifiers can fire at the end of a free spin. If fish are on screen but no fisherman, a hook can pull a reel up to bring a fisherman in. If fishermen land without fish, a dynamite spin can drop MONEY fish onto random positions, or a bazooka can blast every non-fisherman symbol and change it to something else. Special reels are used during the feature.

Bonus buy options

There are two buys, both shown as buttons beside the reels. The standard Buy Free Spins costs 100x the base bet ($200 at $2) and guarantees at least 3 Scatters on the triggering spin. Buy Super Free Spins costs 450x ($900 at $2), also guarantees at least 3 Scatters, and cuts the retrigger requirement to only 3 Wild Fishermen of any colour on a meter instead of 4. The rules list an RTP of 96.53% for both buys, the same as the base game.

Our standard buy landed 4 Scatters for 20 spins. A long dry spell followed, with two $2,000 fish landing uncollected at one point, before four blue fishermen pushed the blue meter to 2x and added 10 spins. The round ended at $166.40 over 30 free spins, about 83x the bet, so it lost money against the 100x price.

The Super buy started with 15 spins from 3 Scatters. Two meter retriggers added 10 spins each, with the red fisherman moving to 2x, and a bazooka spin late in the round set up a run of wins. It finished at $274.60 over 35 spins, about 137x the bet, well short of the 450x cost. Both results are single rounds, not an average of what the buys return.

Ante bet

The ante toggle raises the bet multiplier from 10x to 15x, so a $2 bet becomes $3. In return more Scatter symbols are placed on the reels and the free spins round triggers naturally more often. The catch is that both buy buttons are disabled while the ante is on. The listed RTP with the ante is 96.52%, a hair below the standard 96.53%. We left it off for all of our play.

RTP, max win and odds

The theoretical RTP is 96.53% in base play and with either buy, and 96.52% with the ante bet. The maximum win is capped at 15,000x the bet: if a free spins round reaches that total, it ends at once and any remaining spins are forfeited. The game's own data puts the odds of hitting the top prize at 1 in 2,289,377.

That cap is a step up from the 1000x MONEY fish ceiling on a single symbol, and the level four multiplier of 10x is what makes the top end reachable. Given the Medium volatility tag, expect plenty of modest rounds like the ones we saw.

Our verdict

Big Bass Vegas 1000 keeps the familiar fish-and-fisherman loop but the split red and blue meters change how a round feels. Instead of one multiplier ladder you are watching two, and a retrigger on one colour does nothing for the other, which can be frustrating when the wrong colour keeps landing. The Super buy's 3-fisherman retrigger is the better version of the feature, though at 450x it asks a lot; our single round returned 137x. With a 96.53% RTP across every mode and a 15,000x cap, it is a solid entry in the series, best tried in the free demo first.
