Pragmatic Play · 2022
Pick Big Bass Splash if you want a 5x3 video slot with a fishing theme and high volatility. This page covers its figures, rounds, payouts and features.
Choosing Big Bass Splash means choosing a fishing and ocean game played on a 5x3 grid. The grid has 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay from left to right, starting at the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols in a row from that reel are enough for a win. Wins are counted per payline, so one spin can pay on several of the 10 lines.
Picking this slot over other Pragmatic Play titles means choosing a game built around its bonus round. In Free Spins, the Fisherman wild appears on every reel and collects money values from fish symbols. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier level by level, to x2, x3 and x10.

Clearer payout logic
Read this before your first spin, so each step of a round is clear before the reels stop.
Choose a bet per spin, from A$0.10 up to A$250. Every money value on the reels scales with that stake, so the bet sets what each win is worth.
Line up matching symbols from the leftmost reel on any of the 10 fixed paylines. A win needs at least 2 symbols in a row from the left.
Land two SCATTER symbols and watch for a near miss. The reels may respin down at random, or a hook may pull a reel up to reveal another SCATTER.
Follow the round once Free Spins begin. WILD (Fisherman) appears on every reel and collects random MONEY values on fish, from 2x to 5000x the total bet.
Set your limit before the first spin, and stop when your balance or time reaches it. Free Spins can retrigger and run longer, so check the limit before each new round.

When the bonus starts
Most worries here come from not knowing what the bonus does once it starts.
WILD (Fisherman) appears on all reels in this mode and collects random MONEY values, 2x-5000x total bet, shown on fish symbols. Every 4th WILD collected retriggers +10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier: level 2 = x2, level 3 = x3, level 4 = x10. Level 4 is the maximum.
Base Game spinsFish cash, retriggers
It uses 5 reels x 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel. When exactly 2 SCATTER land, a near-miss teaser follows: scatter reels drop one position while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another SCATTER.
Each new spinWins and teasers
Choosing a stake before the first spin means accepting a result nobody can predict. How often the bonus round arrives is not known in advance, and the outcome of one session is random whatever RTP version is in play. The RTP describes what the game returns over a very large number of spins, so it says nothing certain about the spins a player makes in any one visit.
Checking the RTP starts with the game rules, because the version running in the lobby is shown only there. Several versions of this series exist with different RTP values, and the rules state which one this game uses. Read that section before the first stake is placed.
Judging a slot by its top prize means aiming at the ceiling, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. The maximum win of Big Bass Splash is a multiple of the bet, so the cash amount depends on the stake. Use the figures on this page to work out what that ceiling means at a chosen bet.

Know the risk first
Useful before your first session, when you want the bonus, bet and volatility rules in plain terms.
This slot carries high volatility, so results swing widely between small and large wins. The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet, or A$10,000 at the A$2 example bet. Nobody can predict when a large win will land.
When exactly two Scatters land in the base game, a near miss may appear. Either the scatter reels drop one position, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another Scatter. Once the Free Spins start, the WILD Fisherman appears on all reels.
This version has the highest RTP in the series. Big Bass Splash 1000 has the highest maximum win, at 25,000 times the bet, with an RTP of 96.52 per cent. The other series versions keep the 5,000 times maximum win.
The RTP is 96.71 per cent, based on A$100 staked. Over a very large number of spins, the game returns that share of the stakes. A single session can finish well above or below it, and nobody can know that result in advance.
Yes, the Free Spins can be bought. The buy costs 100 times the bet, which is A$200 at the A$2 example bet. Pick the bet first, because the price moves with it.
Bets run from A$0.10 up to A$250 here. The A$1 and A$2 amounts in the examples are only illustrations. At the A$250 top bet, the maximum win reaches A$1,250,000.
This game is for players aged 18+. Support is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session budget before the first spin, and treat that amount as money spent. Stop when it is gone, not when a bonus seems close.
Decide your stopping point before the session begins, and keep to it even after a win. A large win does not change the limit you set.
Set deposit and loss limits on your account before you play, so each session stays within the amount you chose.
Take a break when the game stops being fun, and self-exclude through BetStop if breaks do not help.
