Big Bass Splash is one of the most popular sequels in Pragmatic Play's fishing series. It keeps everything that made Big Bass Bonanza work, fish with cash values and a fisherman who collects them, and adds random modifiers that can upgrade the free spins round before it starts. If you have played the original, the Big Bass Splash slot will feel familiar within a few spins.
How Big Bass Splash plays
The game runs on 5 reels and 3 rows with 10 paylines. Fish money symbols show cash values. In the base game they pay as normal symbols; the fisherman wild that collects them only appears in free spins. Three or more scatters trigger the bonus.
What is new compared with Big Bass Bonanza
Random modifiers
When free spins trigger, the game can apply one or more random modifiers before the round starts. Depending on the version, these can add extra fishermen, extra fish, more spins or a higher starting level. The modifiers are the main reason players prefer Splash: a lucky start can make a bonus much stronger.
Base game features
The base game can also trigger random events, such as a fisherman that appears to collect fish or a feature that adds scatters to help trigger the bonus. These keep the base game slightly more lively than the original.
Retriggers and multipliers
As in the original, fishermen are counted during free spins. Collecting enough of them retriggers extra spins and increases the multiplier on fish collections in steps. The higher levels are rare.
Big Bass Splash RTP and volatility
According to Pragmatic Play, the standard RTP is around 96.7% and volatility is high. Casinos may run a lower setting; the figure is shown in the game's info screen. High volatility means long runs of small or no wins are normal.
Big Bass Splash demo
Try the demo to see how the random modifiers work and how often the bonus triggers. It is free, needs no deposit and is the best way to compare it with the original before choosing which one to play for naira.
Bonus buy
Some versions and casinos allow you to buy free spins. It costs a fixed multiple of your stake and the return can be much less than the price. Bonus buy availability depends on the operator.
