What Is Big Bass Splash?
Big Bass Splash by Pragmatic Play is a 2021 aquatic entry in the Big Bass franchise, taking the fisherman from the lakeside to an underwater environment. It retains the core series mechanics — monetary-value fish symbols and the fisherman Wild free-spins collection system — while introducing a diving aesthetic and an expanded range of aquatic fish species.
Big Bass Splash plays identically to the original Big Bass Bonanza in its mechanical structure: the fisherman Wild that collects monetary fish values in free spins, 10 paylines, high volatility and the same 96.71% RTP. The aquatic setting and diving suit replace the lakeside, but the mechanical DNA is consistent.
RTP & Volatility
Big Bass Splash carries a published RTP of 96.71%. High volatility means wins are less frequent but can be significantly larger, rewarding patience.
RTP is a theoretical long-run figure — it does not predict outcomes in any single session. Set a budget before playing.
Key Features
Three or more Scatter symbols trigger the free-spins round. During free spins, Wild fisherman symbols land in diving suits and collect the monetary values of all fish symbols they appear adjacent to on the 10 paylines. The accumulated values pay out when no new fisherman Wilds land.
Fish symbols across both the base game and free spins carry individual monetary values that contribute to wins when collected by the fisherman Wild or when forming combinations on the 10 paylines.
Additional Scatter symbols during free spins retrigger extra free spins. The more Scatters that retrigger the bonus, the more spins are added, extending the fisherman's underwater collection window.
Theme & Design
An underwater diving adventure: a fisherman in a diving suit, tropical aquatic fish carrying monetary values, coral reefs, sea anemones, starfish, bubbles and underwater light rays across the 10-payline grid. The colour palette is ocean blues, tropical turquoises and bright fish colours. The diving suit aesthetic distinguishes it clearly from the other Big Bass titles.
Verdict
Big Bass Splash is a solid series entry for players who prefer the aquatic theme over the lakeside original. The 96.71% RTP is excellent for high-volatility, the fisherman Wild free-spins collection mechanic is proven, and the €250 maximum bet is high for Pragmatic Play. The 2,000x maximum win is the main limitation — lower than other series entries.
