On the 5x3 reels, a win forms when matching symbols land side by side on one of the 10 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols are enough to pay. Fishing, Halloween, horror and zombies shape the theme, and the lifebuoy ring, hook and crow sit alongside the cards from 10 to A. The small fish cluster is the money symbol, and it carries its own cash value on each spin.
Scatter symbols that land anywhere on the reels start the free spins: 10 spins for three, 15 for four and 20 for five. In that round, Wild appears on all reels and collects the visible money values each spin. A 12-cell progress ribbon tracks collected Wilds. The 4th, 8th and 12th each add 10 spins and a higher multiplier, up to three retriggers.
Bonus round
Many players wonder how a bonus starts, and these rules answer that before the first spin.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. WILD appears on all reels and collects visible MONEY cash each spin. At the 4th, 8th and 12th collected WILD, 10 spins are added, 3 times max. The MONEY multiplier rises to 2x, 3x and 10x.
Base game spinsFree spins
SCATTER symbols land more often with Ante Bet on, which raises the total bet to 1.5x. That gives a higher natural chance of hitting Free Spins. While it is ON, Buy Free Spins is disabled. With the top example bet of A$5, the total bet is A$7.50.
Normal betExtra SCATTER chances
The reels move straight into the Free Spins round after the purchase, which costs 100x the current total bet. At A$5, the top example bet, the cost is A$500. It is disabled while Ante Bet is ON.
Normal playFree Spins round
Every spin fills the fixed 5x3 grid, and symbols pay left to right on adjacent reels from the leftmost one across 10 paylines. Each small fish cluster carries a random cash value of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 2000x the total bet.

Looking before you play
Useful before you start a session, to see how the bonus and wins look.
Buying the Free Spins round costs 100 times your current total bet, so the price rises and falls with the stake you pick.

The reels pay back a set share of every A$100 staked, measured over many spins. Which version Golbet runs is listed in the game rules.

Five steps, one round
At Golbet, every step of a round is laid out before you press spin.
The reels only turn after you set the bet, from A$0.10 up to A$375. Every payout and MONEY value scales with that total bet.
Matching symbols that land side by side from the leftmost reel make a win on any of the 10 paylines. Two matching symbols already pay, so short runs count.
Small fish clusters on the reels are MONEY symbols, and each spin gives them a random cash value of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 2000x total bet.
Three, four or five SCATTER symbols anywhere start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. WILD then appears on every reel and collects visible MONEY values each spin.
Each spin costs the bet you set, and no spin result shows how a session ends. Set your loss limit before the first spin and stop once you reach it.
Big Bass Halloween
It settles what the demo covers, and what the real game asks of you before the first bet.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account here and a player aged 18+.
Play for moneyScatter symbols land at random on each spin, so nobody can tell when the Free Spins round will come. How often it arrives is not known in advance. The result of one session is random whatever the RTP, and a long run of base game spins can end with no bonus at all.
Each spin lands symbols on the 5x3 grid, and the RTP version behind those spins is shown only in the game rules. Check those rules before the first spin, so you know which version you are playing.
Symbols land on the reels in a random order, and the top prize of 2,100 times the bet is a ceiling reached very rarely. Nobody can predict whether a session gets near it. The figure marks the most the game can pay, not a result to expect.
Know the numbers first
Four plain answers on the maximum win, the bonus buy, the RTP and the volatility.
The top payout is x2,100 times the total bet. At the highest bet allowed here, A$375, that means A$787,500. Smaller bets scale down the same way, so the cap is always a multiple of what you staked.
Yes. The Free Spins round can be bought for 100 times the total bet, which is A$500 at the A$5 example bet. The Ante Bet must be off to buy, because it disables Buy Free Spins while switched on.
This version returns 96.06 percent of the amount staked over the long run. Other titles in the Big Bass series run from 96.50 to 96.52 percent, so the version you pick changes the expected return. A single session can still end well above or below that figure.
Big Bass Halloween has high volatility. Wins come less often, but they can be large when they land, mostly through the Free Spins round and the MONEY symbol. Expect long stretches with small or no wins, and do not count on any particular result.

Set your stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a win too. Wins on this high volatility game can tempt you to play on.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. They cap how much money you can put in or lose.
