Casting a line: Big Catch Bass Fishing Christmas
Big Catch Bass Fishing Christmas is a Blueprint Gaming pokie built on fishing and playing-card symbols, with bonus rounds. Its 93% RTP is the lowest in this guide, so I put that number first.

93% RTP: the number to read first
RTP is the share of stakes a pokie hands back on average over a very large number of spins. At 93%, that means US$93 returned for every US$100 staked in the long run, with US$7 kept by the game. The median across the pokies in this guide is 96%, so this one sits below it, and the top of the range is 96.82%.
Put another way, the three-point gap to the median works out to roughly US$30 on every US$1,000 staked, on average. That is a long-run figure and no forecast for one evening. I'd rather you hear it from me before the fish start jumping.
Big Catch Bass Fishing Christmas next to two neighbours
The same fishing waters turn up at a different price in A Big Catch - Hold and Win. It comes from Betsoft, shares the card-symbol look and pays back 96.5%, but it swings high.
Closer to home is Bar-X Safecracker Megaways, also from Blueprint Gaming. It runs at 95.5% RTP on Megaways reels, where reel height and the number of ways to win can change between spins.
| Game | Provider | RTP | Volatility | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big Catch Bass Fishing Christmas | Blueprint Gaming | 93% | Medium | Bonus rounds, Bonus Buy |
| Bar-X Safecracker Megaways | Blueprint Gaming | 95.5% | High | Bonus Buy |
| A Big Catch - Hold and Win | Betsoft | 96.5% | High | Bonus rounds, Bonus Buy |
Bonus Buy adds spend on top of ordinary spins, so the budget notes in the next section apply to every row that lists it.
Bonus rounds and Bonus Buy: set the budget first
This pokie lists bonus rounds and a Bonus Buy. Bonus Buy is a paid shortcut into a bonus round, so a purchase costs more than an ordinary spin and a session can drain faster than the same money spread over plain spins. For other pokies with a buy option, my Here2Win Casino best games shelf lists all six of them: Here2Win Casino best games.
My habit is to fix a session amount in NZ$ before opening the game, then work out how many purchases it covers at the price shown in-game. If the answer is one or two, treat it as a short session. If you are clearing a welcome-package bonus, check the bonus terms shown below before buying, because I can't promise that a purchase counts toward clearing it.
Pokies are entertainment, not income. Play only with money you can afford to lose. If it stops being fun, call the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655 or read the Responsible Gambling page.

Medium pace: who this fishing trip suits
Medium volatility means results spread out moderately: fewer long dry stretches than the high-volatility pokies, and fewer towering swings too. It is a description of spread, and it promises nothing about rewards. The Pokies Starter Guide lays out the volatility scale in full.
It suits a reader who likes fishing scenery and card symbols, is fine with a below-median RTP and wants a steadier pace than the high-volatility games. Skip it if RTP is the first thing you weigh, since Bonanza and Gates of Olympus both sit at 96% or above. My read: I'd choose this one for the theme and the pace, not for the numbers.
More pokies with a buy option
Each of these lists a Bonus Buy, so the same budget-first habit applies. The full set lives on the Buy-Feature Pokies hub.
A 93% RTP, a medium pace and bonus rounds
That is the whole profile of this fishing pokie. If it sounds like your kind of session, Here2Win Casino is the next stop.
