Five reels with three rows each spin across a fishing and ocean scene. Ten fixed paylines run from the leftmost reel to the right, and a win forms when matching symbols land on one of them. Two matching symbols can already pay, so a short run on a payline still counts. Wins are read from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel. Ordinary spins cover the base game, and the features below change how wins form.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols anywhere start a Free Spins round of 10, 15 or 20 spins. A card reveal before those spins lets the player pick upgrades. Wild symbols collect on-screen money values, and every fourth collected Wild adds 10 spins and lifts the collection multiplier. Stack the Cash uses fish coins, four lives and a bomb that can double values.

Turn sequence
Casino Rocket lays out each round in order, so you know what happens before you wager.
The reels start only after you set a total bet from A$0.10 up to A$250. The paytable shows payouts at A$0.20, so every money amount scales with the stake you pick.
Symbols that land on the 5x3 grid pay only on one of 10 fixed paylines, read left to right from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols are enough to pay.
Wins on the reels come only from the paylines. Wild, Scatter, Money Collect and Multiplier are the feature names that shape the bonus rounds.
3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels start Free Spins, giving 10, 15 or 20 spins respectively. Before the round, a SELECT UPGRADES card reveal picks the modifiers.
The reels stop at a result no one can know in advance, so set your budget before the first spin. Need support? Call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
The reels open straight into a bonus round, which costs 100 times the bet, or A$1,000 at a A$10 bet.

Spins on the reels pay back a share of the stake over a long run. On A$100 staked, 96.50 means A$96.50 returned. The version in use here is shown in the game rules.

After reading, you will know how each bonus round starts, what happens in it, and what it pays.
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols anywhere award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Before the round starts, a card reveal lets you pick upgrades. Wilds collect every on-screen money value, and each fourth Wild collected retriggers 10 more spins.
Base game reelsFree spins
Only Fish Coin symbols and blanks land, worth 1x-10x or 25x total bet. The round starts with 4 respin lives. Coins lock and reset lives to 4. A random bomb event doubles coin and robo-crab values on its reel. When lives run out, the 5 robo-crab totals are summed and paid.

The reels jump straight into Free Spins or Stack the Cash. Pick either one from the base game. It is unavailable while Ante Bet is on.
Ante Bet offChosen round
Symbols pay left to right on selected paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. The grid is 5 reels x 3 rows, with 10 fixed paylines. Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid start Free Spins.
Game lobbyPaid line wins
The reels stop at random on every spin, so how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. One session can bring several bonus rounds or none, and its result stays random whatever the RTP. Nothing on screen shows when the next bonus will land.
Each spin starts on the 5x3 reels, but the RTP version running here is shown only in the game rules. Open them before you play, so you know which return figure applies to the money you stake.
The reels can pay up to x5,000 the bet, but that maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Treat it as the top of the scale, not as a result to expect from any session or any spin.
Test before staking
At Casino Rocket, you can test the reels before you stake a single dollar.
Each demo spin runs on the same 5x3 reels with no stake and no payout; the real game needs a Casino Rocket account and the legal age of 18+.
Play for realReels turn with every bet, so limits matter. Legal age is 18+. Help is at the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Reels keep turning as long as you bet, so set a fixed budget before the first spin.
Wins on the reels can feel like a reason to continue, so decide when to stop before you start.
Reels draw on the account balance with every bet, so set deposit and loss limits in the account before you play.
Spins that stop feeling fun are the signal for a break, or for self-exclusion through BetStop.
Big Bass Mission Fishin'
Useful before the first spin, when you choose a bet size and check the Ante Bet.
Spins on the 5x3 grid can run for a while without a large win, because the game has high volatility. The size of a win varies widely from spin to spin. Nobody can know in advance when a large win will arrive.
Reels run at a stake as low as A$0.10, so the first rounds cost little while you learn them. The paytable is shown for A$0.20, which gives a reference point for symbol values.
Every spin uses the bet you set, from A$0.10 up to A$250. Turning on the Ante Bet multiplies the stake by 1.5, so an A$10 bet costs A$15 with it active.
A winning line on the reels can pay up to 5,000 times the bet. At A$10 per spin, that ceiling is A$50,000. At A$250 per spin, it is A$1,250,000. A win of this size is not promised.
On the reels, the base version returns 96.50 percent of stakes over a long run. Other versions of the series return between 96.50 and 96.52 percent. A single session can end well above or below that figure.
Three, four or five scatter symbols anywhere on the reels award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Before the round starts, a card reveal lets you choose upgrades. With the Ante Bet on, scatters appear more often.
