About the game
Reel Kingdom 2020 — the template that stuck
Released in 2020 by Reel Kingdom, Big Bass Bonanza set the fishing blueprint many followed after.
It survives on theme and clarity rather than hype — and, ironically, that restraint is why it’s still in lobbies.
Symbol-paytable, straightforward spin resolution
Classic symbol-based paytable, wins evaluated left to right on matching combinations.
Values actually read on the demo screen: float 5:£400/4:£40/3:£10/2:£1; rod 5:£200/4:£30/3:£6; dragonfly 5:£100/4:£20/3:£4; tacklebox 5:£100/4:£20/3:£4; fish 5:£40/4:£10/3:£2 — I checked the table; the premium spread looks consistent.
95.67% RTP and MED-HIGH volatility
RTP is 95.67%, below the often-seen 96% yardstick.
Volatility sits at MED-HIGH, so dry stretches are common, with recovery packed into fewer, larger events.
2,100x cap and what it costs
Top win is capped at 2,100x stake.
Conservative for this volatility bracket; the trade-off is obvious: patience through dead space and no spectacular ceiling to compensate for the risk.
Real session: dozens of spins, no bonus
In demo testing I captured 65 frames. Free spins did NOT trigger, no Buy Feature available, with repeated close calls at 2 out of 3 required scatters.
Only base-game line pays were observed; empirically, the natural trigger can stall, and the game leans on patience until the free spins described in the official rules arrive.
Rules
Base game win formation
Wins pay for identical symbols from left to right per the observed symbol-paytable. Only the highest win per line is paid; total spin win sums across distinct lines.
Free spins and fish collection
Three or more scatters trigger free spins. In free spins, the fisherman wild collects cash values from fish symbols and pays them. Every set of four fishermen awards a retrigger and increases the collection multiplier (progressive levels).
Multipliers and parameters
Official mechanics: free-spins, multiplier. Displayed RTP is 95.67% with MED-HIGH volatility, per catalog.
