Big Bass Blast
Slots · Released July 6, 2026
Four Big Bass games sit in this catalogue and their RTPs are not interchangeable: Big Bass BOOM publishes 97.97%, Big Bass Splash 96.71%, and this July 2026 entry 96.5%, which is Pragmatic's own median and the lowest of the three fishing titles. All three cap at 5,000x. If you are choosing between them on numbers alone, the return is the only thing that separates them, and BOOM wins it by a point and a half.

What Big Bass Blast actually does
Big Bass Blast pays by paylines across a 5x3 grid, the format on 88 of the 221 games in this catalogue.
Buy Bonus and Ante Bet shorten the wait at a higher stake. That widens the swing on a high-volatility game without moving the 96.5% return, and several regulated markets switch the option off entirely.

Fishing. Angling framing where a collection mechanic gathers catches for a combined payout.
