Five reels by three rows, with 10 fixed paylines, form the base game of this fishing and ocean slot. The symbols include a red off-road 4x4 truck, a fishing reel and rod, a dragonfly, a red tackle box and card values from 10 to A. Wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right, and two matching symbols on a payline are enough for a win.
Five features sit beside the base game: Free Spins, Money Collect, Multiplier, Scatter, Wild. In Free Spins, Wild Fisherman collects money values from fish symbols, worth 2x to 5,000x the total bet. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the multiplier through x2 and x3 to x10 at level 4. Dynamite, hook and bazooka events occur at random within a round.

Most readers wonder what the reels and bonus look like before they bet real money.
Big Bass Splash modes
This block settles how each round plays, what collects, and when a retrigger adds spins.
The mode opens with WILD (Fisherman) on all reels. WILD collects random MONEY values, 2x-5000x total bet, shown on fish symbols. Every 4th WILD collected retriggers +10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier: level 2 = x2, level 3 = x3, level 4 = x10, the maximum, with no further retrigger.
Base Game reelsCollected fish money
The grid is 5 reels x 3 rows with 10 paylines, and wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel. With exactly 2 SCATTER landed, a near-miss appears: a random respin-down moves scatter reels one position down, others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another SCATTER.
Placing a betLeft-to-right wins
The bonus buy costs 100 times the bet, which is A$500 at A$5, the top example bet on this page.

Play with clear limits
The order of one round, from the bet you place to the limit you set.
Pick a bet from A$0.10 up to A$250 before the reels start. The paytable uses A$2 as its example bet, so each symbol amount scales with the stake you choose.
Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel on 10 fixed paylines, across a 5x3 grid. The fewest symbols that pay is two.
Wild, Scatter, Money Collect and Multiplier are the features. Exactly two Scatters start a near-miss: scatter reels drop one place while the others respin, or a hook reveals another Scatter.
In Free Spins, Fisherman WILD appears on every reel and collects fish MONEY values, 2x to 5000x the total bet. Every fourth WILD collected adds 10 Free Spins.

Pragmatic Play publishes 96.71% as the return across millions of spins, which says nothing about the order of those spins. Free Spins can land on your first press or stay away for a whole evening, and no schedule exists for either. Each session is a fresh set of random results, so a page can describe the bonus, never promise when it arrives.
Pragmatic Play builds Big Bass Splash with more than one return setting, and the one in front of you appears in the in-game rules panel, not on the lobby tile. Check that figure before staking A$2 or A$5, because a lower setting shrinks the share returned over a long run while leaving every spin random.
The x5,000 ceiling is real as a cap, near-zero as an expectation. Reaching it needs the best fish values combined with WILD collectors and a high multiplier level all in one round. Treat A$25,000 at A$5 a spin as the outer edge of what the game allows, not a target a session works toward.
18+ is the age to play here. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
A$0.10 is the smallest bet, so set a session budget before the first spin and keep it separate from everyday money.
x5,000 is the cap, but a big win is no reason to play on, so set your stopping point before you spin.
A$250 is the highest bet allowed, so deposit and loss limits in your account matter before you play.
5 reels and 3 rows is the whole grid, so the stop sign is yours: pause or self-exclude with BetStop if the fun fades.
Four questions, quick replies
Most players first wonder how small a bet can be and how big a win can get.
A$500 is the cost of the Free Spins buy at the A$5 top bet, which is 100 times the stake. The bonus can be bought in Big Bass Splash, and other bet sizes scale the price the same way.
96.71% is the RTP of Big Bass Splash, above the 96.50% to 96.52% of its sibling versions. Its maximum win is x5,000, while Big Bass Splash 1000 offers x25,000 at 96.52%. Compare the rate and the cap before choosing.
x5,000 is the maximum win, which pays A$25,000 at the A$5 top bet and A$1,250,000 at the A$250 maximum bet. No one can know in advance whether a session reaches it. The cap scales with the stake, so a bigger bet raises the ceiling.
A$0.10 is the minimum bet and A$250 the maximum bet. The examples on this page use A$2 and A$5, which are reference stakes, not the limits. Pick a stake that fits your budget before you start.
