Pragmatic Play · 2025
Bigger Bass Splash is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play, set on the ocean and fishing theme. This page covers its payouts and bonus modes.
Reels here sit in a fishing scene, five wide and four tall, with twelve paylines reading left to right. Wins start at three matching symbols, so the low cards fill the gaps while the boat, rod, lure and tackle box carry the weight. Cash values ride on the fish, and during free spins the fisherman wild sweeps every one of them off the screen.
What separates it from the rest of the provider's catalogue is where the money sits. Ante Bet raises scatter frequency, and the two free spins variants differ by the number of pre-round modifiers in play, with the premium one running all five and starting a level higher, plus retriggers that climb the multiplier ladder.

Ways to Reach the Bonus
After this you will know how each round of Bigger Bass Splash begins and runs.
Three or more SCATTER symbols start the round with 3=10 spins, 4=15 spins and 5=20 spins. Land the fisherman WILD and it collects every MONEY value on the screen, and each fourth WILD adds +10 spins and lifts the multiplier from 1x to 2x, 3x and 10x.
Base gameTen to twenty spins
Buying this premium variant at 350x bet opens 12 spins with all five pre-round modifiers active: MORE FISH, MORE FISHERMAN, MORE HOOKS/DYNAMITES/WIPEOUTS, START FROM LEVEL 2 and +2 SPINS. Retriggered spins award +12, and the WILD collect and multiplier progression run as normal.
Left panelTwelve deeper spins
5 reels x 4 rows with 12 fixed paylines paying left to right. Fish carry random MONEY values on every spin, the 15x Ante Bet toggle raises scatter frequency, and the left panel offers Buy Free Spins and Buy Super Free Spins whenever you want them.
LobbyRandom fish values
Each landing WILD sweeps every MONEY symbol value on the screen into a running total for the whole free spins round, and that total is multiplied by your current level multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x or 10x. Dynamite, hook and wipeout events pull fish and fisherman onto the reels together.

What You Take Away
Every step below is written to the same standard we apply to the whole lobby.
Pick your stake anywhere from A$0.10 to A$300 per spin, with A$0.20 and A$2 as the examples used below. The bet stays fixed until you change it.
Twelve fixed paylines run left to right across five reels and four rows. Three matching symbols from the leftmost reel start a payout, and the Speedboat pays the most.
Fish carry random MONEY values that change every spin, and the Ante Bet toggle raises scatter frequency at 1.5 times your stake. WILDs and SCATTERs fill the rest of the grid.
Three or more SCATTERs pay 10, 15 or 20 spins, and each fisherman WILD collects every visible MONEY value before the multiplier climbs.
Set a loss limit and a time limit before the reels move. High volatility means long dry runs, so stop on the figure you chose rather than the one you feel.
Each shortcut is priced as a multiple of the stake, so at the A$2 example bet the extra rounds cost A$200 and A$700, with the ante option lifting that stake to A$3.
| Shortcut | Multiple | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Free Spins Buy at 100x Stake | x100 · A$200 | – |
| Super Free Spins Buy at 350x Stake | x350 · A$700 | – |
Stake A$100 on this slot and the long-run expectation returns A$96.50 of it. Whether the version running here is that one is stated in the game rules panel.

Play modes
Most players worry the trial will charge them, or that they can lose money before signing up.
Each demo spin costs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Casino Rocket and you must be 18+.
Play for real moneyEach spin lands a new mix of fish and symbols, so the bonus round may come on the first spin or not at all. Nobody can know in advance how often it comes. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of 96.50 says. That RTP is a long-run average per A$100 staked and does not describe a single session.
Each spin on the 5x4 grid pays across 12 fixed paylines from left to right. Which RTP version this lobby runs is shown only in the game rules. Read the rules before the first spin to see which version you are playing.
Wins on the reels can climb to x5,000 the bet in Bigger Bass Splash. At the top bet of A$2 that ceiling is A$10,000, and at the A$300 maximum bet it is A$1,500,000. The ceiling is reached very rarely and no session can be planned around it.
Four answers on this slot
Short, plain answers to the four questions players ask before a first bet on this slot.
Wins cap at 5,000 times your bet. At the A$2 example bet that is A$10,000, and at the A$300 ceiling it is A$1,500,000. Anything above that multiplier is cut.
Three or more scatter symbols start the round: three pay 10 spins, four pay 15, five pay 20. Each fisherman wild collects every money value on screen, and every fourth one adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier.
Bets start at A$0.10 and top out at A$300. Your own limit is lower than the game ceiling, so most sessions sit far below the top.
Two buys sit in the left panel: Free Spins at 100 times your bet and Super Free Spins at 350 times. At the A$2 example that is A$200 and A$700. Super Free Spins starts with all five modifiers running.

Pick the amount you can lose before you load the game, and treat it as spent. A number chosen mid-session follows the reels instead of your wallet.
Name your walk-away point in advance, and keep it whether the balance is up or down. A big hit streaks the reels, not your plans.
Deposit and loss limits in your account hold while the reel tempts you to raise them. Set them at a level you would defend on a losing night.
Step away when play turns tense rather than enjoyable. A short pause helps, and self-exclusion through BetStop is there when the pause is not enough.
