Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping it Reel free spins

Is Keeping it Reel the same as Big Bass Bonanza?

No, and that matters for any offer. Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping it Reel is a 2022 spin-off from Reel Kingdom with its own maths: a different RTP and a much higher top prize. Casino spin offers name the exact game they apply to. An offer for ‘Big Bass Bonanza’ means the original, and the spins can’t be moved to Keeping it Reel. Our page on Big Bass Bonanza free spins covers the original, which is where PlayOJO’s welcome spins go.

On a batch of 80 spins the average difference is about 5p. The bigger difference is the spread: a game with a 10,000× ceiling has to pay its top prizes rarely, so results tend to vary more from one batch to the next.

Keeping it Reel free spins: the offer and the feature

A casino’s spins are a promotion: a number of spins at a fixed stake on listed games, usually after a deposit or qualifying bet, with an expiry and rules on winnings. The game’s own free spins round is a feature that can land on any spin. They overlap only when a promotional spin happens to start the round, which then plays at that spin’s stake. Our free spins hub explains promotions in general.

What Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping it Reel free spins are worth

Multiply spins by stake to get the face value. UK offers almost always use a 10p coin value. Then multiply by the RTP to get the long-run average return. At the 96.07% setting, the house keeps about 3.93p of every pound staked on average.

Lower RTP settings are also supplied to casinos, though our checked data doesn’t list their exact figures. Open the game’s information screen at your casino to see which one it runs, then redo the sum. Our free spins maths guide has the method in full.

How to trigger free spins on Big Bass Bonanza – Keeping it Reel

Published details describe the bonus as a free spins round where Fisherman wilds collect the cash values on fish symbols and upgrade multipliers. Collecting is the core of the round: when a Fisherman lands alongside fish carrying values, those values are added up and paid, and the multiplier upgrades raise what later collections are worth. We haven’t confirmed from the developer how many scatters start the round, how many spins it awards or the exact multiplier steps, so read the paytable first.

1. Open the game at a UK-licensed casino and tap the ‘i’ or menu icon.
2. Read the free spins page for the trigger and the number of spins.
3. Read how Fisherman wilds collect and how many are needed for each multiplier upgrade.
4. Check whether extra spins are awarded with an upgrade.
5. Note the RTP line, since lower versions exist.

Why a 10,000× ceiling changes a short batch of spins

Our checked data doesn’t include a volatility rating for Keeping it Reel, so we don’t label it. What the ceiling does tell you is that the game holds back part of its return for rare, large wins inside the bonus round. In a batch of 50 or 100 promotional spins, the round may not land at all, and the batch may return well under its face value. Our fishing slots page compares the series’ games.

Keeping it Reel free spins no wagering vs with wagering

No wagering free spins pay winnings as cash. Wagering spins pay bonus funds that must be bet through first, and the Gambling Commission’s rewards and bonuses code (opens in a new tab) has limited the requirement to 10 times the bonus since 19 January 2026.

A worked example at 96.07%: 100 spins at 10p return about £9.61 on average. With 10x wagering you would need to bet £96.10, which at a 3.93% house edge costs about £3.78, leaving about £5.83. With no wagering, the £9.61 is cash. For more worked cases, see free spins wagering explained.

Keeping it Reel free spins no deposit

No-deposit spins on a named game are uncommon at UK-licensed casinos, and none of our partners offers a no-deposit bonus. Every partner spin offer needs a deposit or a qualifying slots bet. Where a no-deposit offer does appear, read the eligible games carefully: an offer naming ‘Big Bass Bonanza’ won’t extend to Keeping it Reel. Our page on no deposit free spins explains the usual terms.
