Pragmatic Play · 2022
Big Bass Splash is a 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play with ten fixed paylines, high volatility and a fishing theme. This page covers how it pays.
The demo is free to play, while the real game needs an account and you must be 18 or older.
Symbols land on five reels of three rows, and every spin is played across 10 fixed paylines. The look is ocean and fishing: fish, a red tackle box, a fishing reel and rod, a dragonfly, and the card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and two matching symbols are enough to pay.
When exactly two Scatter symbols land, the base game shows a near-miss teaser: scatter reels drop one position while the rest respin, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another Scatter. In Free Spins, Money Collect lets the Wild fisherman gather money values from fish symbols. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 free spins and raises the Multiplier level, up to level four.

Extra spins and multipliers
Unibet Casino lists each bonus rule as the game sets it, in plain terms.
Fisherman WILDs appear on all reels and collect random MONEY values, 2x to 5000x the total bet, shown on fish symbols. Each 4th WILD collected retriggers +10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier to x2, x3, then x10. Level 4 is the cap.
Base gameCollected fish money
Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel across 5 reels x 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. With exactly 2 SCATTERs, a near-miss teaser follows: the scatter reels move one position down while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another SCATTER.

Know the round first
Read this before your first spin, or when a bonus round starts and the reels behave differently.
Reels only spin after you pick a stake between A$0.10 and A$250. The ten fixed paylines are all active, so the stake applies to every line.
Wins start on reel one and run left to right, and two matching symbols are enough. A symbol on reel five without a match from reel one earns nothing.
When exactly two Scatter symbols land, the reels tease a near miss. Scatter reels drop one position while the others respin, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another Scatter.
Fisherman Wilds appear on every reel and collect the MONEY values shown on fish, each worth 2x to 5000x the total bet.
Each spin takes the chosen stake from the balance, so set the limit before the first spin. Help is on the National Gambling Helpline, 1800 858 858.
The price is 100 times the bet, so the cost of the bonus grows with each stake a player picks.

Each spin on the 5x3 reels returns a share of the stake to the player, measured per A$100 staked. The version this site runs is listed in the game rules.

When free spins start
Seeing each screen before the first spin removes the worry about missing a bonus or misreading a win.
Symbols land on the reels at random, so how many spins pass before the bonus round appears is not known in advance. One session can bring the feature early or leave it out entirely. The RTP describes the return over a very large number of rounds, not the result of the session you play tonight, which stays random whatever the RTP is.
The reels never reveal which RTP version runs in this lobby. That detail appears only in the game rules, so read those before staking real money. Big Bass Splash belongs to a series of versions, each with its own RTP, so check the exact title on the rules screen before you compare numbers.
Each combination on the reels can pay, but the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Treat it as the top of the scale, not as an expected result. Reaching it depends on the same random outcomes as every other spin, so no session plan will bring it closer.
Players must be 18+ to join. Help is available through the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, lets you exclude yourself.
Set the amount you can afford to lose before the first spin, and keep every bet inside it. High volatility can mean long quiet stretches.
Decide the stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a win as well as after a loss.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you open the game, and lower them when the play stops feeling controlled.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun, and self-exclude through BetStop if play no longer feels in your control.
Know the rules first
After reading, you will know the risk, bets, RTP and bonus cost before you wager.
Each spin lands symbols across a 5x3 grid and pays along 10 fixed paylines. Big Bass Splash has high volatility, so results come in uneven stretches: quiet runs can follow a good win, and the largest prize is x5,000 of the bet.
Each spin starts at A$0.10, the minimum bet, and can be raised to A$250, the highest bet allowed here. The paytable uses A$0.50, and the examples on this page run up to A$10.
Spins on the reels return to the player at an RTP of 96.71 percent in this version, measured over the long run. Single sessions do not follow that figure, so the result of any session stays open. The other versions of the series run between 96.50 and 96.52 percent.
Free spins can start on the reels, or the player can buy the round outright at 100 times the bet. At the A$10 example bet, that buy costs A$1,000, and the price scales down with a lower stake.
The series versions differ on RTP and top win. Big Bass Splash 1000 is the only version listed with a top win of x25,000 of the bet, while the other four cap at x5,000. Its RTP is 96.52 percent, and the other four sit between 96.50 and 96.51 percent.
