Bigger Bass Splash (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Bigger Bass Splash - Overview

I’ve put plenty of spins through Bigger Bass Splash, and it feels like a mash‑up of Bigger Bass Bonanza and Big Bass Splash. You get a 5x4 grid with 12 paylines, high volatility, and a top RTP setting of 96.5%. The base game is straightforward, with the interest mostly funnelled into free spins. There’s an Ante Bet that bumps your stake by 50% to raise bonus odds. If you’ve played the series, you’ll recognise the bubble‑lined screen and the same money fish concept.

Bigger Bass Splash - Slot Details

Betting starts at 10p per spin and can reach £200, depending on venue limits. On the top spec I’ve seen a 16.29% hit rate, so wins arrive roughly every 6.14 spins, but they vary widely. Free spins tend to land about once in 114 base spins on average, though streakiness is very real. Volatility is set high, so bankroll swings can be chunky, and the max win sits at 5,000x stake.

RTP comes in multiple configurations: 96.5% at best, with 95.5% and 94.5% alternatives also circulating. The Ante Bet costs 50% extra but doesn’t change RTP on the published figures. Where permitted, there’s a Bonus Buy at 100x for regular free spins or 350x for Super Free Spins with all modifiers. None of this alters the 5,000x cap, so the risk profile stays punchy regardless of entry route.

Theme, Audio + Symbols in Bigger Bass Splash

Theme-wise, it’s the familiar underwater scene with a tropical party twist: reef backdrop, bubbles between reels, and laid‑back elevator‑style music. The lead chap rocks socks and slides, a rope belt, shades and a cowboy hat, which sums up the tongue‑in‑cheek vibe. Reels carry 10 to A royals for lower pays and a set of fishing‑themed premiums: tackle box, lure, rod, and a pink speedboat, all of which will be instantly familiar if you’ve spent time with earlier Big Bass titles.

Paytable values follow the series template. J, Q, and 10 pay up to 5x for five of a kind, while A and K reach 10x. The tackle box and octopus lure top out at 50x, the fishing rod reaches 100x, and the pink speedboat pays 200x for five and even pays from two. Fish icons double as Money symbols carrying 2x to 5,000x stake values, which becomes vital once the bonus kicks in.

The Fisherman is wild but only shows during free spins, substituting and collecting any Money fish in view. Multiple Fishermen will each collect the same fish values, which can stack neatly. The Bass scatter can appear on all reels; three, four, or five scatters trigger the bonus. In the base game, landing two scatters can wake a random hook or a respin nudge to help pull a third one into sight.

Bonus Features in Bigger Bass Splash

Free spins start with 10, 15, or 20 spins for 3, 4, or 5 scatters. Before they begin, you can be handed 0 to 5 modifiers: More Fish, More Fisherman, More Hooks/Dynamites/Wipeouts, Start from Level 2, and +2 Spins. During the round, random Dynamite can drop fish when a Fisherman lands alone, Hook can pull a Fisherman up when only fish land, and a Wipeout can refresh symbols when Fishermen arrive without any fish.

Each Fisherman collects all Money fish on screen and is also stored on a meter. Every fourth Fisherman retriggers +10 spins and steps the collection multiplier to x2, then x3, then x10 at level four. Multiple Fishermen collect separately. Where available, the Bonus Buy grants direct entry for 100x stake, while Super Free Spins at 350x apply all modifiers. The Ante Bet raises scatter density for a price, which I find handy during cold spells.

Bigger Bass Splash - Expert Verdict

Bigger Bass Splash plays well enough, but it’s very close to Big Bass Splash on a larger reel set, with the same 5,000x ceiling. I like the pre‑bonus modifiers and the progressive Fisherman ladder, yet much of the time the base is flat and the game lives or dies by that feature. If you’re into money fish collection and don’t mind high variance, it scratches that itch; if you’re seeking fresh ideas, it may feel reheated.
