Bigger Bass Splash Slot Review

Bigger Bass Splash Overview

Bigger Bass Splash is another outing in the fishing series from Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom, this time shifting the action to a tropical bay with a laid‑back cowboy angler front and centre. I land on a 5x4 grid with 12 fixed paylines, clear underwater visuals and a chilled, party‑style soundtrack. The whole thing revolves around a familiar money collect mechanic in free spins backed up by random modifiers.

Bigger Bass Splash Slot Details

On Bigger Bass Splash I can stake from 10p a spin up to £200 in standard mode, with an ante bet option that hikes the cost by fifty percent and lifts effective stakes to £300 while adding more scatters to the reels. The slot uses 5 reels, 4 rows and 12 paylines that pay from left to right. It feels like a classic set‑up with just enough room for stacked symbols.

RTP on Bigger Bass Splash sits at 96.5% on the best configuration, though I have seen versions running at 95.5% and 94.5%, so I always check the paytable at my casino before spinning hard. Volatility is high, with a hit rate around sixteen percent and long stretches of nothing much. On paper, the maximum win is 5,000 times stake, usually coming from super‑juicy fish in the bonus.

Bigger Bass Splash Theme, Audio + Symbols

Visually, Bigger Bass Splash sticks to the tried underwater scene, but the mood has shifted towards a Hawaiian party. The fisherman rocks shorts, socks with slides, a rope belt, cowboy hat and cocktail, which gives the whole thing a slightly tongue‑in‑cheek feel. The soundtrack is relaxed with a Caribbean edge, more lounge bar than hardcore arcade. I find it easy to sit through longer sessions without the audio getting on my nerves.

On the reels in Bigger Bass Splash the low symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A card royals, paying up to 5x or 10x stake for five of a kind depending on rank. Premiums are the tackle box cooler, lure, fishing rod and pink speedboat. At the top end that boat pays 0.5x, 5x, 20x and 200x for two, three, four or five symbols across a payline, so lining boats up matters.

Fish icons in Bigger Bass Splash do double duty as regular symbols and Money symbols. Three or four fish on a line pay 1x or 5x stake, while five fish pay their displayed cash values, which range from 2x right up to 5,000x bet. During free spins the Fisherman wild appears on all reels, substituting for pay symbols and collecting all Money symbols in view. Bass scatter symbols trigger the bonus when three or more land.

Bigger Bass Splash Bonus Features

In Bigger Bass Splash the base game is mostly about waiting for scatters. Landing three, four or five bass scatters awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, with a handy second‑chance mechanic when only two scatters appear, where a respin or hook animation can drag in the third. Before the round starts a little mini‑game can grant between zero and five modifiers, including extra fish, more Fishermen, extra hooks and wipeouts, extra spins, or starting on level two.

During the free spins on Bigger Bass Splash every Fisherman wild that lands collects all Money symbols on screen and is stored on a trail above the reels. Every fourth Fisherman retriggers 10 extra spins and upgrades the collect multiplier to 2x, then 3x, then 10x on level four, where things can go mad with big fish values. Random dynamite, hook and wipeout events rescue dead spins, and outside the UK I can buy regular or super free spins for 100x or 350x bet.

How to Play Bigger Bass Splash

I treat Bigger Bass Splash like a classic high‑variance slot. First I set a sensible stake within the 10p to £200 range, bearing in mind the swings, then decide whether the ante bet makes sense for my bankroll. Spins are straightforward: wins land when three or more matching symbols, or two boats, hit from the leftmost reel along a payline. The real game plan is simply surviving long enough to hit a strong free spins round.

Bigger Bass Splash Expert Verdict

As someone who has played pretty much every Big Bass slot released, Bigger Bass Splash feels like a mash‑up rather than a fresh chapter. The larger 5x4 grid with 12 lines and stacked symbols works well, and those pre‑bonus modifiers can turn an average feature into something far more lively. At the same time, the core money collect loop is identical to earlier outings, so regulars will know exactly what is coming.

For me Bigger Bass Splash shines when the modifier mini‑game hands out more Fishermen or a head start on level two. That is where I have seen the better sessions, especially with fish values over 100x landing into multipliers. On the downside the volatility is punishing, and the 5,000x cap is not huge by modern standards. I still spin it when I fancy simple fishing action, but I treat it as a grindy, bonus‑driven slot.
