Big Bass Bonanza 1000 and Its 20,000x Ceiling
Released in 2025, Big Bass Bonanza 1000 is the release with the highest overall ceiling in the range: a round can pay up to 20,000 times the stake. Individual cash fish top out at 1,000x, which is lower than several of its siblings, so the big numbers here are assembled from volume and multipliers rather than from one enormous symbol.

Three Things This Release Adds
- A ceiling of 20,000x. No other title in the range quotes a maximum win that high.
- A rescued trigger. Land two scatters and the game can reel in a third at random, opening the feature from a spin that looked like a miss.
- Symbols added mid round. During the free spins, extra wilds and extra cash fish can drop onto the grid at random once a spin has settled.
Why the Second Chance Trigger Changes the Feel
In the original, two scatters is simply a near miss and the spin ends. Here that same screen keeps your attention, because the third scatter may still arrive. It does not make the feature common, but it removes the flat disappointment of the near miss and it is the detail most players notice first.
Extra Wilds and Extra Fish
The mid round additions matter more than they sound. A fisherman dropped onto the grid after the reels have stopped is a collection you were not going to get, and an added cash fish enlarges the haul the next fisherman sweeps up. Both together are how a round that started on ten spins occasionally turns into something substantial.
Reaching the Top of the Ladder
The collection engine is unchanged. Fish carry amounts, the fisherman takes the value of everything visible, and every fourth fisherman adds ten spins while raising the collection multiplier to 2x, then 3x, then 10x. A 20,000x round is therefore never one lucky symbol. It is a long feature, several retriggers, a crowded grid and the 10x multiplier still running at the end.
Two Purchases and a Higher Stake Button
This release hands you more buttons than the rest of the range. The standard purchase opens the free spins for 100 stakes, while a dearer option buys super free spins for 450 stakes, which at a twenty pence spin works out at £20 and £90 respectively. Alongside them sits a higher stake button, which raises the chance of the feature triggering on an ordinary spin in return for a costlier spin.
None of the three moves the return percentage. Two of them replace waiting with paying, the third shortens the wait by charging more for every spin, and at larger stakes the figures mount faster than most people expect.
Free Demo in Pounds
The demo on this page loads from Pragmatic Play with a pound balance and no registration. The rescued trigger, the mid round additions and any purchase option all behave as they do at real stakes, which makes it a sensible place to judge the pace before committing money.
Who This Version Suits
The 1000 release rewards patience with a high ceiling, and the cost of that ceiling is a longer wait between meaningful rounds. If you prefer a steadier rhythm, the original is the calmer option, and if the appeal is a strong start to the feature rather than a high ceiling, look at Big Bass Splash instead.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum win in Big Bass Bonanza 1000?
20,000x the stake, the highest ceiling quoted anywhere in the range.
How much is the largest cash fish worth?
Up to 1,000x the stake. Big results are built from the number of fish collected and the multiplier, not from one symbol.
What is the RTP of the 1000 release?
The standard build returns 96.51%. An operator may run a lower build, so check the rules screen for the figure that applies.
What happens when only two scatters land?
The game can reel in a third scatter at random and start the free spins anyway.
What gets added during the free spins?
Once a spin has settled, extra wilds and extra cash fish can be placed on the grid at random.
Is there more than one way to buy the feature?
Yes. The standard purchase costs 100 stakes and super free spins cost 450 stakes. A separate higher stake button raises the chance of an ordinary trigger instead.
Is there a demo of the 1000 release in pounds?
Yes. It runs on this page on a virtual pound balance with no account required.
