Pragmatic Play · 2022
Big Bass Splash is a 5x3 fishing video slot from Pragmatic Play with high volatility and a top win of x5,000 your bet, explained in plain steps.
Free demo. The real game needs an account and players must be 18+.
A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines sets up this fishing game, built on the Fishing and Ocean theme. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and a payline needs at least 2 matching symbols to pay. Its symbols include a red off-road 4x4 truck, a fishing reel and rod, a dragonfly, a tackle box and the A to 10 cards. Know them first, and each spin reads more easily.
Each fourth WILD collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the multiplier. In free spins, the Wild fisherman appears on every reel and gathers money values from fish, which is how Money Collect works. Two random events, the dynamite spin and the hook, can add fish or fishermen mid-round. Exactly two Scatter symbols trigger near-miss teasers in the base game.

Bonus rules
It settles how the free spins work, how fish money adds up and what the events do.
The Fisherman WILD appears on all reels 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.
Base GameCollected fish money
The base game runs on 5 reels x 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay left-to-right from the leftmost reel. When exactly 2 SCATTER land, a random respin-down moves the scatter reels one position down, or a hook pulls a reel up to show another SCATTER.

Round guide
After reading, you know how each round runs, from bet to bonus and session limit.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$250 the highest, so the bet you choose scales every payout on the reels.
10 fixed paylines cross the 5x3 grid, and each win is read from the leftmost reel to the right.
2 Scatters land and start a near-miss teaser: the scatter reels drop one position and respin, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another Scatter.
2x to 5000x the total bet is the range of MONEY values on fish, and the Fisherman WILD collects them once Free Spins begin.
A$0.10 at the lowest bet still adds up over many spins, so set a limit and end the session when it is reached.
The price is a multiple of your bet, so it moves with the stake, and the table shows the money at the top example bet.

Try before you bet
Most players worry a practice round will quietly cost them, so the difference comes first.
Ten paylines, 5x3 grid: the demo needs no money and pays nothing, while the real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Play real money96.71% is the RTP of Big Bass Splash, which is the return across a very long run of bets, not a promise for one session. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Your result in one session is random, whatever the RTP says, and a short session can end well below or above that figure.
96.50% to 96.52% is the RTP range of the other versions in the series. Which version Fairgo runs is shown only in the game rules, so check those rules before you spin. The version in play is what any RTP figure describes for your session.
x5,000 is the ceiling of Big Bass Splash, the highest multiple of the bet the game pays, and players reach it very rarely. At the A$10 example bet that ceiling is A$50,000. At the highest bet allowed here, A$250, it reaches A$1,250,000.

A$0.10 is the lowest bet, and A$250 is the highest allowed for Big Bass Splash here. The bets A$0.20, A$1 and A$10 are only the examples used on this page. The highest possible win scales with the bet, so it reaches A$1,250,000 at A$250.

Exactly 2 Scatter symbols landing in the base game bring a near-miss teaser. The teaser either moves the Scatter reels one position down or pulls a reel up to reveal another Scatter. Inside the free spins, every 4th Wild collected adds 10 more spins.
