A costume change with consequences
The fisherman changes costume in Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round, and the rules change more than the outfit suggests. Pragmatic Play announced the game on 10 June 2025, under a headline that the studio “steps into the ring”. The announcement introduces it as “the latest addition to Pragmatic Play’s award-winning slots series”, directly after the Bonanza 1000 edition. The Big Bass series supplies the engine, and the boxing staging supplies a rule of its own, which the middle of this page unpacks.
What the disclosures say
The official page puts the RTP at 96.50%, and the configuration repeats it across the ante and purchase modes. A flat menu of returns makes the pricing easy to hold in the head, whatever routes a market allows. The sheet is the series’ 5×3 of 10 lines by the configuration, with stakes of 0.10 to 250.00 credits. Wins form along fixed lines in the system described under Paylines. The volatility line in the game’s own pages reads high.
Money symbol values run to 5,000x, and the game’s limit is the same 5,000x figure. By the shipped configuration a spin reaches that limit once in 2,544,391 tries. As usual for the studio, no lower operator version is published anywhere a player can read. Whatever a lobby runs, its paytable prints the governing copy, and reading it costs a minute.
Two meters in two corners
The change the costume pays for is a second collector. Wilds come in blue and red, and each colour keeps its own count through the bonus, in the pattern of Collect Symbols run twice over. A colour’s 4th wild levels its own meter. The level adds 10 free spins and steps that colour’s multiplier through 2x and 3x to 10x. One corner can stand at 10x whilst the other still collects at face value, and the reading of a round changes accordingly. The added spins are the retrigger route in this family, filed under Free Spins Retrigger.
The knockout rule covers the empty case. Where a wild lands with no money symbols in view, a random symbol transformation fills the gap rather than letting the collect come to nothing. Entry runs higher than the family standard, with 15 free spins from 3 scatters and 20 or 25 from 4 or 5. Money values up to 5,000x land through the round for whichever colour is on duty, in the manner filed under Cash Symbols.
Where it sits in the series
The series has restated its formula many times since 2020, through seasons, scales and now a sport. Gloves aside, the collection engine remains the family’s, and readers of the Splash and Bonanza 1000 reviews will recognise every gear. What the edition genuinely adds is the second meter, and what it withholds is any lift in the limit. Players chasing taller printed numbers are pointed to the 1000 edition, and players wanting the plain reference sheet to Splash.
What it costs to play
The house’s share of a $100 run at $1 stakes works out at $3.50 under the 96.50% figure, level with most of the studio’s list, and a player gets no discount for the gloves. The limit asks a sharper question than the price does. A 5,000x top at 1 in 2,544,391 arrives at shorter odds than the Splash edition quotes, whilst the return runs $0.21 per $100 dearer over the long run. The rules also restate the limit against the raised ante stake, at 3,334x, and the figure belongs in any player’s weighing of that option.
The rail spans $0.10 to $250, twenty-five hundred between its ends. A $1,000 bankroll is ten thousand spins at one end of that rail and four spins at the other, which is the whole volatility conversation in one line. The gloves change none of these numbers, and the meters do not either. Stake size stays the only real lever on the money side, since the ante trades a higher spin price for bonus frequency, and the restated figures above already count its cap side. The $0.10 entry, for the record, matches every other fishing edition on this site, and no seat in the series sells cheaper.
Disclosure grade and score
Disclosure files at a B, with every shipped figure printed and the usual silence on operator versions. The game settles at 6 of 10 here. The two meter idea is a real variation rather than a costume alone, and the higher entry ladder is friendlier than the family norm. The reservation is scale, since the 5,000x top is the smallest among the series entries reviewed here. The family’s 1000 edition prints 4 times the limit at a $0.01 difference in published return, and that sum is hard to argue with.
One check before you play
- Set the paytable’s RTP figure beside the published 96.50%, since a flat menu only helps a player where the base copy is the full one.
- Note how the paytable words the two colour meters before valuing a long round, because the counters advance independently and only one of them may reach its top rate.

Frequently asked questions
How do the blue and red wilds differ?
Each colour collects the visible money values when it lands, and each keeps a separate meter. A colour's 4th wild adds 10 free spins and raises that colour's multiplier a step, through 2x and 3x to 10x.
What triggers the bonus in Big Bass Boxing Bonus Round?
The scatters open 15, 20 or 25 free spins for 3, 4 or 5 landed. The entry ladder starts higher than the series standard of 10 to 20, so a player begins deeper into the round.
What is the knockout feature?
Where a wild lands with no money symbols on view, the game transforms a random symbol rather than letting the collection come up empty. The rule is stated in the game's own pages.
What RTP and maximum does the game publish?
The official figure is 96.50% on every mode, standard, ante and both purchases. The maximum is 5,000x the stake, at configured odds of 1 in 2,544,391 spins.
