Big Bass Reel Repeat slot game

The demo runs on virtual credits. No deposit, no card details, nothing to pay. You won't hit a paywall halfway through.

This isn't a watered-down version. The demo uses the same maths as the real money game—identical RNG, same certified 96.51% return. Released August 2025, so you're testing the current build, not some outdated demo.

No registration needed. You can test the Bonus Repeat feature, try all three buy options, and see how the fisherman collection mechanic actually plays out across multiple retriggers. The demo doesn't cap your session—keep spinning until you understand the volatility or you've seen enough of the feature patterns.

If you're weighing up whether the 160x buy with Repeat Chance justifies the extra cost over the standard 100x buy, the demo lets you compare both without touching your bankroll. For those interested in real money play, you can practise the features and understand the volatility patterns first.

You know that moment when a Big Bass bonus is finally heating up—wilds collecting, money symbols hitting, multipliers building—and then it just ends? Big Bass Reel Repeat tackles that frustration head-on with its headline feature: a chance to replay the entire bonus round from scratch whilst keeping everything you've already won. It's not a retrigger, it's a full reset with your winnings intact and another shot at the card selection modifiers. Pragmatic Play has churned out 35+ Big Bass variants by now, and most add a theme or tweak the math, but this one introduces an actual structural change to how the bonus works. Whether you're playing with the 25x ante bet for natural Repeat chances or buying straight in at 160x, you're essentially getting insurance against bonus disappointment. Understanding responsible gambling practices becomes crucial when dealing with these higher ante bets and buy-in features. The question is whether that insurance is worth the premium.

How To Play

Start by setting your bet using the + and - buttons at the bottom of the screen. You'll see a bet menu pop up where you can choose from £0.10 to £625 per spin. What's crucial here is the Ante Bet toggle on the left side panel—this isn't just a bet multiplier, it fundamentally changes your experience. Before committing to higher stakes, check our terms and conditions for important betting guidelines.

Understanding Ante Bet modes:

The Ante Bet isn't mandatory, but if you're chasing the signature Repeat feature where you get another go at the bonus after winning, you'll need 16x or 25x mode active.

Spinning and speed control:

Press the circular spin button to start, or use SPACE or ENTER on your keyboard. Here's where it gets efficient: click the speed icon (>>>) to cycle through normal, quick, and turbo modes. But there's a faster route—hold SPACE during any spin for instant turbo. You can also toggle Quick Spin in the settings menu (☰ icon) to automatically reduce reel times.

Buying the bonus:

The purple Buy Free Spins button on the left panel gives you three shortcuts. For those looking at free spins opportunities without the buy-in cost, there are promotional options available:

These costs are fixed multipliers of your current bet, so check your stake first.

Autoplay and settings:

Hit Autoplay to open the automatic spins menu. You'll select your spin count and can tick Skip Screens to auto-skip bonus intro animations. In the settings menu (☰), you'll find Quick Spin toggle, Battery Saver (reduces animation load), and separate controls for ambient music and sound effects.

The game shows "Hold Space for Turbo Spin" at the bottom—use it. It's the fastest way to play once you've got your bet and ante mode sorted.

Special Symbols

Fisherman Wild symbol in purple frame

Fisherman Wild

The Fisherman – shown in a purple frame – is the Wild symbol. It only appears during the Free Spins round and substitutes for everything except Scatter and Money symbols. But it does more than substitute: every Fisherman Wild that lands also collects all Money symbol values visible on screen.

Scatter symbol - fish with multicoloured fins

Scatter

The Scatter is a fish with multicoloured fins. It appears on all reels and triggers the Free Spins feature. You need 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere on screen to activate the bonus.

Money symbol - fish with cash value in golden frame

Money Symbols

Money symbols are fish that display cash values in golden frames. At every spin, each Money symbol shows a random value multiplied by your total bet. Possible values are: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1666x, 2500x or 5000x.

These values only pay out during Free Spins when a Fisherman Wild lands to collect them. During Free Spins, Money symbols can randomly appear as 2x2 or 3x3 giant symbols, effectively showing the same value across multiple positions.

Base Game Features

When you land two Scatters without the third, the game sometimes helps you out. Two random features can kick in:

If the Scatters on screen can move down one position without falling off the reels, the game might trigger a respin. The reels with Scatters shift down one spot whilst the other reels spin again.

Alternatively, a third Scatter can simply appear on the screen in a random position after the initial spin result.

Free Spins

Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to trigger Free Spins. You'll get 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.

Card Selection

Card selection screen showing 12 cards to choose from

Before the round starts, you pick one card from 12 possible cards. Most cards start a regular Free Spins round, but some reveal modifiers that change how the feature plays:

  • MORE FISH! – More Money symbols appear on the reels with a higher chance of bigger values throughout the round.
  • HIGHER MULTIPLIERS! – When you retrigger, the multipliers are x4, x6 and x20 instead of the standard progression.
  • 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER – Only 3 Fisherman Wilds are needed to retrigger instead of 4. When this modifier is active, multipliers apply from the next free spin rather than after the previous batch ends.
  • MEGA – All three other modifiers activate simultaneously.

Collection Mechanic

Fisherman Wild collecting Money symbols on screen

During Free Spins, every Fisherman Wild that lands collects all Money symbol values on screen. The collected amount is multiplied by the current level multiplier (starts at 1x).

All Fisherman Wilds that appear are collected and counted. Every 4th Fisherman Wild collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 more free spins and increasing the collection multiplier:

  • 1st retrigger: multiplier increases to 2x
  • 2nd retrigger: multiplier increases to 3x
  • 3rd retrigger: multiplier increases to 10x

After the fourth level (10x multiplier), you can't retrigger anymore. The retriggered spins play after the previous batch of free spins completes.

Random Features During Free Spins

Three random events can happen during the round to help create winning situations. For more insights on these features and current promotional offers, check our dedicated section:

  • When Fisherman Wilds are on screen but no Money symbols, Money symbols can randomly appear in empty positions at the end of a spin.
  • When Money symbols are on screen but no Fisherman Wilds, a hook can appear pulling a reel up to bring Fisherman Wilds onto the screen.
  • When Fisherman Wilds are on screen but no Money symbols, a BASS-OOKA! animation can appear and change all symbols (except Fisherman Wilds) into different symbols.

The feature uses special reels with different symbol distributions compared to base game.

Max Win

Free Spins have a 5,000x bet win cap. If your total win reaches this limit during the round, the feature immediately ends, you're paid the maximum amount, and all remaining free spins are forfeited.

Ante Bet Options

You can increase your bet multiplier to change how the game behaves. Four options are available:

10x
Normal Play

Standard game with no modifications.

15x
More Scatters

More Scatter symbols appear on the reels, increasing your chance to trigger Free Spins naturally. The Buy feature is disabled when this is active.

16x
Repeat Feature

When Free Spins end, the REPEAT feature appears. There's a chance the round randomly restarts from the beginning with the same number of initial spins and any modifiers from the previous round. You keep all wins accumulated so far.

25x
Scatters + Repeat

Higher chance to trigger Free Spins naturally (more Scatters on reels) AND the REPEAT feature activates at the end of each Free Spins round.

Buy Features

You can purchase Free Spins directly from the base game. Three options are available:

100x Bet
Buy Free Spins

Instantly triggers Free Spins. You pick a card before the round starts to potentially reveal modifiers (MORE FISH!, HIGHER MULTIPLIERS!, 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER, or MEGA).

160x Bet
Buy Free Spins + Repeat Chance

Triggers Free Spins with the card selection. When the round ends, the REPEAT feature appears with a chance to randomly restart the feature whilst keeping all winnings.

1,250x Bet
Buy Mega Free Spins

Triggers Free Spins with the MEGA modifier guaranteed, activating all three modifiers (MORE FISH!, HIGHER MULTIPLIERS!, and 3 FISHERMAN TO RETRIGGER) simultaneously.

Bonus Repeat

When playing with the 16x or 25x Ante Bet active (or when buying the 160x feature), the REPEAT feature appears after Free Spins end. There's a random chance the entire bonus restarts from the beginning with the same initial number of spins and any modifiers you had. Crucially, you keep all wins from the previous round – they're not at risk. The feature can theoretically repeat multiple times.

All game modes maintain 96.51% RTP regardless of Ante Bet or Buy feature selection.

Repeat Feature Behind Paywall

+ Pros − Cons
  • Bonus Repeat mechanic → chance to replay bonus from start while keeping all wins
  • Three buy-in tiers → £20, £32, or £250 on £0.20 bet for instant access (legal in UK)
  • Card pick adds agency → choose modifier before free spins, potential MEGA with all boosts
  • Random help features → scatter nudges, extra scatters, and hook-pulls keep bonus hopes alive
  • Progressive multiplier system → builds to 10x on fourth retrigger level
  • Repeat locked behind ante bet → need 1.6x or 2.5x stake every spin to access headline feature
  • Confusing ante options → four modes with overlapping effects, 1.5x ante disables buy feature entirely
  • 29th Big Bass game → same fisherman-collect core with incremental twist
  • Max win cap cuts rounds short → 5000x limit ends feature immediately, forfeit remaining spins
