Big Bass Day at the Races: play at 5gringos Casino
Pragmatic Play's five-reel fishing slot uses free spins with a Money Collect mechanic, delivering 96.07% RTP and high volatility where wins come less often and can be much bigger.
Pick a horse, collect cash, chase big multipliers
Cash collection on racing reels. Big Bass Day at the Races lands on a 5-reel, 3-row grid where wins form across 10 fixed paylines from left to right. Released in March 2024, this Pragmatic Play slot blends fishing and sports themes through a racing backdrop. The heart of each round is the money symbol collection mechanic: when money symbols appear on screen alongside the man wild, the wild gathers all visible money values and applies a random multiplier from 1x to 50x to the total. High volatility means wins arrive less often but can grow significantly larger.
Betting range and player match. This slot suits players comfortable with longer stretches between wins who chase substantial payouts when they land. The high volatility and maximum win of x10,000 appeal to those seeking big moments over frequent small hits. Starting bets at NZ$0.50 keep entry accessible, yet the top bet reaches NZ$10, allowing you to scale stakes to your play style. Players seeking steady, frequent wins or lower-risk sessions may find the long dry spells between payouts less enjoyable.
Free spins and rising multipliers. Free spins reshape the round entirely. Before free spins trigger, you pick from 14 named horses in a bonus phase that reveals modifiers: extra spins added to your total, fixed money symbols guaranteed each spin, or progress toward retriggering. During free spins, the man wild collects money values on every spin and raises the collection multiplier each time it triggers a retrigger, stacking multipliers toward 50x. Every fourth collected wild adds 10 spins and climbs the multiplier ladder, capping at 50x after eight retriggerings. The round ends when the 10,000x limit is reached or spins exhaust.

Everything that happens when you place a bet and hit spin
Watch your wild multiply money values across free spins
Big Bass Day at the Races: pick phase. A bonus phase where you pick from 14 named horse entries until AND THEY'RE OFF ends. Your picks reveal modifiers: extra spins, guaranteed money symbols per spin, wilds toward retrigger, or removal of low-value multipliers from the pool.
Watch the collection multiplier rise. You get 10 base spins plus any picks you won. Man Wild lands on all reels and collects all visible money symbol values. Every fourth collection retriggers 10 more spins and raises your multiplier through eight levels, capping at 50x. A 10000x cap ends the round immediately.
What triggers the bonus round? Five reels with three rows spin across 10 fixed paylines left to right. Land money symbols and random events may collect all visible values with a random 1x to 50x multiplier applied to the total. Ante Bet costs 1.5x your stake and adds extra scatters while turning off the buy option.
Big Bass Day at the Races: close calls. When exactly two scatters land without a third, a random assist may trigger: scatter-containing reels shift down one row and other reels respin, or a lasso converts one symbol to scatter. This helps you land the third scatter needed to unlock the pick phase.
Want to skip straight to free spins?
Bypass the base game
Jump straight into free spins without waiting for scatters to land naturally. At a NZ$10 bet, this costs NZ$1 000 and starts your bonus round immediately with the horse-picking phase.
Scatter booster bet
Add extra scatter symbols to the reels during base game spins at 1.5 times your bet cost. At NZ$10, this raises your stake to NZ$15 per spin but disables the ability to buy free spins.

Before and after: what changes between spins
When the bonus comes. Bonus rounds arrive randomly during base game play. No pattern, no count, no way to predict when free spins will trigger on your next spin or your hundredth.
Your session is random. Your session result depends entirely on random events, not on your bet size, how long you play, or recent spin outcomes. RTP applies across millions of spins, never to yours.
Treat the maximum as a ceiling. The maximum win of NZ$3,750,000 is a ceiling, not a target. That win has occurred, but it arrives so rarely that planning your session around it will disappoint you.
