Big Bass Bonanza in PNG: Reel In Cash Fish with Kina

Big Bass Bonanza at WinKina: how the fisherman wild scoops up money fish in free spins, how to start playing, and Kina bet tips for a small PNG budget.

A fishing trip on the reels

PNG is a land of rivers, lagoons and long coastlines, so a fishing slot feels like home. Big Bass Bonanza from Pragmatic Play is the game that kicked off the whole "Big Bass" family.

It is easy to read. You get five reels, three rows and ten paylines, and wins pay from left to right along the lines. The pictures are fishing gear like rods, floats, tackle boxes and dragonflies, with card letters and numbers for the smaller pays.

If you grew up on classic 5-reel pokies, this layout will look familiar. The bonus, though, feels fresh and modern.

The best part waits in free spins, when a fisherman turns up and scoops the cash shown on the fish.

Casting your first line

  1. Log in to WinKina. Don’t have an account? Register here.
  2. Put in Kina from K10 by BSP, Kina Bank, NBC, CellMoni or MoniPay.
  3. Open Slots, tap Pragmatic Play and search "Big Bass Bonanza".
  4. Choose your bet. With ten fixed lines, the game shows one total bet in Kina, not a per-line amount.
  5. Spin, and watch for the scatters that unlock free spins.

Money fish, scatters and the fisherman

Scatters and free spins. Three or more scatters start the bonus round. Land more and you get more spins.

Money fish. Fish can land with a Kina value printed on them. In the base game they mostly behave like ordinary symbols.

The fisherman wild. In free spins, the fisherman is wild. Each time he lands, he collects the value of every fish on the reels right then and adds it to your win.

More spins and multipliers. The game counts every fisherman you land in free spins. Gather enough and you earn extra spins plus a higher multiplier on the fish he collects. The info (i) screen shows the exact steps, values and RTP.

Fishing on a small budget

The base game tends to feel steady, and the big action lives in free spins. The bonus can take a while to bite, so keep your bet small.

Pack your bait before you leave. Say you bring K30. A bet of K0.20 to K0.30 keeps you fishing for 100 spins or more. When the bait is gone, the trip is over for today.

A weak first bonus is no reason to worry. Sometimes the fisherman shows up to an empty river, or the fish carry tiny values. That is normal. The rounds people talk about, with several fish and a fisherman together, come purely at random.

Landed a good catch? Think about taking part of it home. Withdrawals start at K50, straight to your own bank or CellMoni. More ideas in our low-bet pokies guide.
