Pick this game if you want a fishing and horror theme with zombies on a 5x3 grid. Wins form on 10 paylines that run left to right, and two matching symbols from the leftmost reel are enough for a payout. The fish symbols show a random money value on every spin. You can see those amounts, but you cannot collect them in the base game.
Choose it if you want bonus rounds that collect money. Three to five Scatter symbols start the Free Spins, and two Wild Fisherman trackers, a blue one above the reels and a red one below, pick up the money values on the fish. Every fourth Wild of one colour adds spins and raises the multiplier. Super Free Spins retrigger on any three Wild Fisherman.
Choose a bonus buy only if you accept the price: 100 times your bet, A$200 at A$2, and 300 times, A$600 for the Super buy.
| Extra bet | Price | RTP |

| Free Spins at 100x | x100 · A$200 | – |
| Super Free Spins at 300x | x300 · A$600 | – |
Check your bet first, then read the money column. Return to player is the share of each staked amount a game pays back, counted per A$100 staked. The version is shown in the game rules.

Spot the features
After these screens you know what the reels, Free Spins and a win look like.
Big Bass Halloween 3
The first worry is how many spins you get and what the trackers do.
Land three, four or five Scatter for 15, 20 or 25 free spins. The blue and red trackers collect visible MONEY values. Every fourth WILD of one colour adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier from 1x to 2x, 3x and 10x. Wins cap at 5000x the total bet.
Base Game reelsSpins and multipliers
Land three or more Scatter symbols to start Super Free Spins with the same mechanics as Free Spins. Retriggers need only three WILD FISHERMAN of any colour across both trackers, instead of four of one colour in a single meter. Dynamite Spin and Hook random events are active.
Scatter on reelsEasier retriggers
Pick a bet and spin the 5x3 grid, which has 10 paylines read left to right. Fish symbols display random MONEY values each spin. You can see those values in this mode, but you cannot collect them here.

Most worries come from not knowing what happens after a spin, so each step shows the screen.
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$375 before each spin. The paytable uses A$0.20 and the examples use A$2, but those are examples, not the limits.
Scan the 5x3 grid for matching symbols on the 10 paylines, read from left to right. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, so the paytable below starts at two.
Read the MONEY values on the fish symbols, which show on every spin. In the base game you see them but cannot collect them, and three SCATTER symbols start Free Spins.
Land three, four or five SCATTER symbols to start Free Spins with 15, 20 or 25 spins. The dual WILD FISHERMAN trackers then begin to collect the visible MONEY values.
Set a budget before the first spin and decide the bet before you start. Stop when the budget is gone, even during a Free Spins round.
Deciding to spin Big Bass Halloween 3 means accepting that the bonus round may take a long time to appear. How often it comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random, whatever the RTP. A quiet stretch does not make a bonus due, and an early bonus does not repeat on schedule, so earlier spins give no pattern to follow.
Deciding which bet suits you starts with the game rules, since the RTP version running is shown only there and nowhere on the reels. The RTP table on this page translates that figure into money at A$100 staked. Read the rules panel before the first spin, so the numbers match what you see in the lobby.
Deciding to chase the top prize means planning around a ceiling that is reached very rarely. The maximum win of Big Bass Halloween 3 is x5,000 of the total bet, so a larger bet raises the money at stake, not the multiple. Treat that figure as the outer edge of the game, not a target for any session.
Two ways to start
Useful right before the first spin, when you want the reels without staking real money.
Want to test the reels first? The demo needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+.
Start playingYou must be 18 or older to play. Help is on 1800 858 858 with the National Gambling Helpline, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose before the first spin and keep that amount apart from everyday money. Stop when it is gone, whatever the reels show.
Choose your stop point before you spin and keep to it after a big win too. A win can tempt you to chase the next one.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. A limit chosen calmly is easier to keep than one set mid-spin.
If the game stops being fun, take a break or self-exclude on BetStop. Stepping away is a normal choice, and the helpline can talk it through with you.
