If you want a fishing game with a small 3x3 grid, Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler fits that picture. The themes are Fishing and Ocean, and the symbols include fishing gear, a dragonfly, a tackle box and card ranks from 10 to A. A win needs at least 3 matching symbols to pay, so the paytable is worth a look before you start spinning.
If bonus rounds appeal to you, the free spins drive this game. Three bass fish Scatter symbols start them. When a fisherman Wild lands, it collects the values of all visible money symbols. Every fourth Wild adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier, with three retriggers at most. Super Free Spins add higher money symbol values and a 20x multiplier after the third retrigger.

Round walkthrough
Read this before your first bet, so each step of the round feels familiar.
Choose a bet from A$0.10 up to A$375 before the reels turn. The examples on this page use A$0.50, A$5 and A$10, and every win scales with the stake you set.
Your win starts at three matching symbols on the 3x3 grid, the fewest that pay. Check the paytable for each symbol's value at the A$0.50 paytable bet.
In the base game, watch for bass fish SCATTER symbols, which trigger the bonus, and the fisherman WILD. Money symbols hold cash values that the Wild collects during the free spins.
Three SCATTER bass fish start the Free Spins. You receive 10 spins, plus 2 for each SCATTER on the top row and 1 for each on the middle row.
Before your first spin, set a limit on time and money. When you reach it, stop, and if play feels heavy, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858.
Practice round
Worried about losing money before you know the rules? The demo removes that worry.
Choose the demo to spin without spending money, but it pays nothing. Real play needs a Hunnyplay account and you must be 18 or older.
Play real moneyYou choose the bet, press spin and accept that every outcome comes from chance. How often the bonus round arrives is not known in advance. Nobody can predict when it starts, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. An RTP figure describes the average over a very long run, not what happens during the session in front of you.
You decide which game to open, and the RTP version a game runs is shown only in its game rules. Reading those rules before you stake money keeps the figure you rely on tied to the game you actually play.
You weigh the top figure, x5,000 times your bet, against your own budget, because the maximum win of Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler is a ceiling that is reached very rarely. Plan each session around the stake you can afford to lose, not around that ceiling.
Big Bass Bonanza FAQ
Hunnyplay Casino puts the numbers on the table so you decide with clear facts.
Choosing this slot means accepting wide swings. Big Bass Bonanza 3 Reeler has high volatility, so a session can end well above or well below the stake. The biggest possible win is 5,000 times the bet, or A$50,000 at a A$10 bet.
Compare the RTP before you stake. This slot has an RTP of 96.50 percent, which means A$96.50 is paid back for every A$100 staked over a very large number of bets. Related versions in the series range from 96.50 to 96.52.
Read the paytable first, since it shows what each symbol pays at a A$0.50 bet. Every amount on this page is in Australian dollars and refers to paid play.
Choose a bet between A$0.10 and A$375 per spin. The bets A$0.50, A$5 and A$10 are only examples used on this page, not the limits of the game. Start with a bet that feels comfortable for you.
