Five Boosts Before The Cast

The Big Bass game that adds a twist before the round starts. Up to five random boosts are dealt before the first free spin, and then it is the usual job: fish on the reels, fisherman to collect them, every fourth fisherman a level up.

Big Bass Splash is a 5x3, 10 payline fishing slot from Reel Kingdom, published by Pragmatic Play, with a 96.71% return in the standard version and high volatility. Line wins exist, but nobody plays this for the paytable. The money is in the fish. Fish symbols land carrying a cash value, in this game up to 5,000x the stake on a single fish, and they only pay when a fisherman wild lands on the same spin in the free spins. A screen of fish with no fisherman is worth nothing.

What sets Splash apart from the rest of the series happens before the round. Three, four or five scatters give 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and then fish swim around the rod and the game deals up to five boosts at random. They include extra fish on the reels, extra fisherman wilds, more frequent dynamite, bazooka and hook events, two extra spins every retrigger, and a start at level two, which means the 2x multiplier from the first spin. A round with four or five boosts plays very differently to one with none.

The round itself follows the series rules. Every fisherman collects all the fish on the screen and goes onto the meter above the reels. Every fourth fisherman adds 10 spins and moves up a level: 2x at level two, 3x at level three and 10x at level four. Level four is where a R50 fish becomes R500 and where the 5,000x cap comes into reach. Getting there needs twelve fisherman in one round, which is why most rounds finish at level one or two.

Where it is offered the bonus buy costs 100x the stake, so R200 at R2 a spin. The RTP does not change, and a bought round that gets no boosts and two fisherman will pay well under its price. Scorebet carries Big Bass Splash in its Pragmatic Play catalogue, licensed by the Northern Cape Gambling Board, for players aged 18 and over.

What the features do

  • Money fish: fish symbols land with a cash value on them, up to 5,000x the stake, and pay only when a fisherman wild lands on the same spin in the free spins
  • Fisherman wild: collects every money fish on the screen, then counts towards the level meter at the top of the reels
  • Level up: every fourth fisherman adds 10 spins and raises the multiplier, 2x at level two, 3x at level three, 10x at level four
  • Pre-feature modifiers: before the free spins start, the game can award up to five boosts such as extra fish, extra wilds, a level two start, two extra spins per retrigger or more dynamite and bazooka hits
  • Dynamite, bazooka and hook: random base and bonus events that turn symbols into fish or wilds, or pull in a missing scatter
  • Bonus buy: pay 100x the stake to go straight to the free spins where it is offered

Before you spin

  1. Read the boost screen before the first free spin. A level two start or extra spins per retrigger changes the value of the round, and it tells you what to expect from it.
  2. The multiplier only applies to fish collected after the level changes. Fisherman number four collects at 1x, so the first fisherman at 2x is number five.
  3. At R2 a spin, a R200 bonus buy needs a round of 100x just to break even. Plenty of rounds end under that, so cap the number of buys before you start.
  4. The hook and bazooka events are random and cannot be helped along. Stake for the base game you can afford, not for the events you hope to see.

Big Bass Splash questions

96.71% in the standard version. Pragmatic Play also supplies 95.67% and 94.6% settings, so check the game's info screen where you play.

What is the max win on Big Bass Splash?

5,000 times the stake, which is R10,000 at R2 a spin. A single fish can carry up to 5,000x, and the 10x level four multiplier is the other route there.

What are the boosts before the free spins?

Up to five random modifiers dealt before the round starts: extra fish, extra fisherman wilds, more dynamite, bazooka and hook events, two extra spins on every retrigger, and a level two start with the 2x multiplier active from the first spin.

How does the fisherman multiplier work?

Each fisherman wild collects the fish on screen and counts on a meter. Every fourth fisherman gives 10 more spins and raises the level: 2x, then 3x, then 10x at level four. The multiplier applies to every fish collected from that point on.
