Big Bass Splash
Slots · Released June 23, 2022
A 5x3 grid paying on fixed lines, which in a catalogue dominated by 6x5 scatter-pays and cluster grids now reads as almost traditional. The Big Bass series runs on one idea, the fisherman wild collecting money symbols, and Splash is the entry that added progressive free spins on top: each retrigger raises the collector multiplier rather than merely extending the round.

How Big Bass Splash pays
The game runs on 5 reels of 3 rows, 15 positions in total.
Big Bass Splash is rated very high volatility. Against the 40 Pragmatic Play titles here, its 96.71% return runs 0.21 points above their 96.5% median, and the 5,000x ceiling sits under their 11,250x median.
The ceiling is 5,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $5,000.
It is the 41st of 106 2022 releases from Pragmatic Play that we track.
Pragmatic Play publishes the 96.71% return and the 5,000x ceiling on its own page for Big Bass Splash at pragmaticplay.com.
What Big Bass Splash actually does
Big Bass Splash pays by paylines across a 5x3 grid, the format on 88 of the 221 games in this catalogue.
Free Spins is the round the rest feeds, with retrigger changing how it behaves once it starts. The 5,000x ceiling is reachable there and effectively nowhere else.
Buy Bonus shortens the wait at a higher stake. That widens the swing on a very high-volatility game without moving the 96.71% return, and several regulated markets switch the option off entirely.
Progressive Free Spins is the unusual one on this card: 4 of the 221 games here carry it.
| Mechanic | What it does |
|---|---|
| Free Spins | Spins awarded without a stake |
| Cash Collect | A collector gathers cash values |
| Multiplier | Multiplies the win it applies to |
| Wild | Substitutes for regular symbols |
| Scatter | Pays or triggers from anywhere |
| Instant Prize | Cash values printed on symbols |
| Buy Bonus | Pay to enter the bonus round |
| Progressive Free Spins | Free spins improve as they run |
| Retrigger | Extends a bonus already running |
| Random Features | Modifiers fire without warning |
Progressive Free Spins
The free spins round strengthens as it progresses, with the multiplier or symbol set improving at set milestones. Later spins in the round are therefore worth more than the opening ones.
Retrigger
Landing the trigger symbols again during a bonus round adds further spins instead of starting a new round. Some games cap how many times this can happen, others leave it open.
Random Features
The game can apply a modifier to a spin at random, with no trigger symbol involved. Typical effects include added wilds, symbol upgrades or an applied multiplier.
Setting and presentation
Fishing. Angling framing where a collection mechanic gathers catches for a combined payout.
Nature. Landscapes, forests and seasons rendered without a narrative, generally a calmer presentation than the action themes.

Big Bass Splash questions
How do the progressive free spins in Big Bass Splash work?
Collecting fish symbols during free spins retriggers the round and steps the fisherman's multiplier up a tier, from 2x through to 10x. The multiplier carries forward across retriggers, so a long round compounds rather than resetting.
How does Big Bass Splash differ from the other Big Bass games?
The core loop, wild fisherman collecting money fish, is shared across the series. Splash's distinction is the progressive multiplier tiers during free spins and a 5,000x ceiling at 96.71% RTP, which is above the Pragmatic Play median in our catalogue.
What is the RTP of Big Bass Splash?
96.71%, published by Pragmatic Play. That is 0.21 points above the 96.5% median of the other 39 Pragmatic Play games with a page here. Against the 220 published returns across the whole catalogue it is 0.51 points above the 96.2% median.
Can I play Big Bass Splash for free?
Yes. The build above is the one Pragmatic Play ships, at the same 96.71% return and the same 5,000x ceiling; only the credits are virtual, and there is no deposit or signup. It runs the same 5 reels of 3 rows, 15 positions in total as the paid build.
What is the maximum win on Big Bass Splash?
The ceiling is 5,000x the stake, so a $1 spin caps at $5,000. The other 39 Pragmatic Play games published here sit at a 12,500x median. Across the 219 published ceilings the median is 10,000x, and 152 of them reach further than this one, while 30 stop at the same figure.
