Choose this game if you want a fishing and ocean theme on a 5x3 grid. Big Bass Trophy Catch has 10 fixed lines read left to right, and matching symbols on a line form the win. Two matching symbols are enough to pay. The symbols include the FISHERMAN WILD, Fishing Float, Dragonfly, Fishing Rod, Tackle Box, Bait Fish Cluster and the card ranks A, K, Q and J.
Weigh the bonus if free spins matter. Three, four or five SCATTER symbols award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. FISHERMAN WILD lands on every reel and collects money symbol values of 2x to 5000x. Each SCATTER in free spins randomly adds one of three modifiers: X2 ALL WINS, MORE FISH or MORE MEN. Super Free Spins give 20 spins with all modifiers active.

Big Bass Trophy Catch
The worry most players bring is not knowing what follows a spin.
Pick your bet before the first spin, from A$0.10 up to A$360. The example bets on this page are A$0.20 and A$0.40. All 10 fixed lines stay active at every bet.
Check each spin on the 5x3 grid, reading the 10 fixed lines from left to right. MONEY SYMBOL values appear on the reels in the base game, but are not collected.
Watch the Scatter symbol in the base game, since it is the only trigger there. Multiplier and Money Collect steps come only in the bonus round.
Land three, four or five Scatter symbols to start the Free Spins, which award 10, 15 or 20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears on all reels and collects MONEY SYMBOL values on landing.
Set your limit before the first spin, then stop when it is reached, because the bet you choose sets how fast the balance moves.
Bonus time has arrived
Removes the most common doubt: how a bonus starts and what it pays.
Three, four or five Scatters start Free Spins, awarding 10, 15 or 20 spins. FISHERMAN WILD appears on all reels and collects Money Symbol values from 2x to 5000x. Each Scatter in the spins randomly awards X2 ALL WINS, MORE FISH or MORE MEN, plus 1 to 5 extra spins.
Base gameSpins and money
Super Free Spins start naturally once all 3 modifiers are collected during base game, giving 20 spins with X2 ALL WINS, MORE FISH and MORE MEN active from spin 1. Values of the Money Symbols go up to 5000x total bet. Retriggers work as in Free Spins.
Modifiers collected20 active spins
The game runs on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed lines, read left to right. MONEY SYMBOL values appear on the reels but are not collected in the base game. The Ante Bet at 1.5x the bet increases how often Scatters land and disables Buy.
Placing a bet10 fixed lines
Choose your stake knowing that nobody can say in advance how often the free spins arrive. The result of one session is random, and that holds whatever the RTP of the game. Plan each session as a sum you can afford to lose.
Read the game rules before you commit any money, because the RTP version in use is shown only there. Open the game rules before each session, so you know which RTP version is in play on the day you bet.
Treat the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. Big Bass Trophy Catch reaches that ceiling very rarely, and no figure on this page tells you how often. Size each stake for the money you can lose, and treat any large win as a result of chance rather than a pattern you can repeat.
Spin with no stake
At Picklebet Casino the practice version comes first, so the account and the stake come later.
Choose the demo if you want no money involved, since it pays nothing. Choose the real game only with an account with Picklebet Casino and aged 18 or over.

Big Bass Trophy Catch
Picklebet answers each slot question with the exact figures and says plainly what no one can predict.
The maximum win on Big Bass Trophy Catch is x5,000 of the bet. At the example top bet of A$0.40 that comes to A$2,000, and at the highest bet of A$360 it reaches A$1,800,000. The win is capped at this multiple, so the bet size sets the money amount.
This slot runs at high volatility. Wins tend to be rarer and larger, so a session can run a long time without a payout and then pay out a lot. How often that happens cannot be known in advance.
Trophy Catch has one RTP version, 96.50%, based on A$100 staked. On average over a very large number of rounds, the game returns this share of the total amount staked. A short session can end far above or below that, and no single session shows the RTP.
Trophy Catch sits at the 5,000 times level with 96.50%. Big Bass Splash 1000 is the one that differs: 25,000 times the bet and 96.52%. Blast, Football Bonanza and Raceday Repeat keep the 5,000 times limit.
Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the bet, which is A$40 at the example top bet of A$0.40. Buy Super Free Spins costs 300 times the bet, or A$120 at that bet. Neither buy works together with the Ante Bet.
Bets run from A$0.10 to A$360 per spin. The paytable shows values at A$0.20, and A$0.40 is the example top bet on this page. Higher bets raise every money amount in the paytable and the win limits in the same proportion.
