Design and Theme
🖼️ Graphics
Big Bass Splash keeps the recognisable style of the series. The underwater background with bubbles and light reflections remains, along with familiar reel symbols like fishing gear, fish, and dragonflies — now joined by a truck and other tough guy props. The fisherman himself is more active, appearing in animations and showing up before the bonus game with a short cutscene. The interface is still minimalistic, but buttons and indicators are slightly larger. Clearly designed with mobile screens in mind.
🎶 Sound
The music continues the laid-back country style: a slow guitar melody, muted water sounds, and occasional splashes. Spinning reels add soft clicks and reel noises. A highlighted sound plays during wins, but nothing overwhelming. Overall, the sound is non-intrusive, though not particularly memorable. You can mute the music separately from the effects.

Special Symbols
- Wild (Fisherman): Appears only during free spins. Substitutes all symbols except Scatter. Most importantly, he collects cash values from fish symbols on the reels.
- Scatter (Fish in crosshairs): Can land on all reels. 3, 4, or 5 Scatters trigger the bonus game with 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Position doesn’t matter.
- Fish with Fixed Prizes: During free spins, fish can appear with cash values (up to x2000). These are only collected if the fisherman lands at the same time. If no fishermen, nothing is collected. If the fish are part of a winning payline but there's no fisherman, you win without the multiplier.
Bonus Game
Triggered by 3+ Scatters and starts with a short animation. Before free spins begin, up to five random upgrades may be granted:
- Extra Fish – More fish symbols with cash prizes appear.
- Extra Fishermen – Higher chance of Wild symbols.
- More Scatters – Increases chance of retrigger.
- +10 Free Spins at Start – Start at level 2 of the progression.
- +2 Free Spins
Every 4 fishermen collected during free spins unlocks a progression level:
- +10 extra free spins
- Enhanced multiplier on fish collection: x2, then x3, then x10
- After 3 progression stages, the bonus round does not extend further
Sometimes, after a spin, a dynamite effect may randomly trigger — adding fish symbols to the reels if a fisherman landed but had nothing to collect.
RTP, Volatility, Max Win
The stated RTP of Big Bass Splash is 96.71% — one of the highest in the series. It’s fixed, with no variable range.
Volatility is high — bonus rounds may take dozens of spins to appear, but can yield impressive rewards when they do. Especially if upgrades are active and you reach the 2nd or 3rd multiplier levels.
The max win is capped at x5000 your stake. If hit during the bonus, the game ends immediately, and remaining free spins are forfeited. This is standard for Pragmatic Play.
Our Verdict
Big Bass Splash is basically Big Bass Bonanza, but with a shot of energy and a small attempt to mix up the bonus. Everything else stays the same: the same fisherman, the same fish, the same 10 paylines. Only now, before the free spins, the slot might generously throw in some extra features — or it might not.
In testing, the bonus game landed after 63 spins. The first round had no upgrades and ended in a loss. In the second, all upgrades were granted, but the final result was just x15. The third time — with a bonus buy for x100 — brought in x186. Though the penultimate round with x3 multiplier promised more. Multiplier progression is unpredictable; most often, it ends at x2.
This slot is ideal for fans of the original Big Bass looking for something slightly fresher — without overcomplicated mechanics. It’s beginner-friendly, though experienced players might tire of it quickly. The game appears regularly in welcome packages, so you will find it at almost any 5 pound deposit UK casino on our list.
If you want something similar with more features, try Big Bass Bonanza Megaways, Big Bass: Keeping It Reel, or Big Bass Amazon Xtreme — each has its own twist.
Casino promotions use the title constantly. However, no minimum deposit slots offers are rarer and tend to run on other games.
