Each spin lands symbols on five reels and four rows, and wins run along 12 fixed paylines from left to right. Three matching symbols are enough to pay. The fishing and ocean theme sits behind a set of fish symbols, and each fish carries a random money value on every spin. Those money values are the core of the base game.
Three to five scatters open free spins of 10, 15 or 20 spins. During that round, each landing Wild collects the money values on screen, and every fourth Wild adds 10 spins and steps the multiplier up. Up to five random modifiers can apply before the round. Super Free Spins is the premium variant, starting with 12 spins and all five modifiers active.

Three, four or five SCATTER symbols trigger 10, 15 or 20 spins. Each landing WILD collects MONEY values from fish on screen. Every fourth WILD collected adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier from 1x to 2x, 3x and 10x. Pre-round modifiers, 0 to 5, are picked at random.
Base GameFree spins
Super Free Spins begin with 12 spins and all 5 pre-round modifiers active. The modifiers add more fish, more fishermen, more hooks, dynamites and wipeouts. They also start play from level 2 and add 2 spins. Retriggers add 12 spins each. WILD collects work as in Free Spins.

5 reels x 4 rows, with 12 fixed paylines read left to right. Fish symbols carry random MONEY values on every spin. Those values are what a WILD fisherman collects in Free Spins.
Game lobbyFixed paylines
A landing WILD on the reels collects all MONEY values on screen during Free Spins. Collected values pile up across the whole round and get multiplied by the current level: 1x, 2x, 3x or 10x. Random dynamite, hook and wipeout events make fish and fishermen appear together on screen.

Bigger Bass Splash basics
The usual worry is not knowing what a spin does before it lands.
The reels stay still until you set a bet, anywhere from A$0.10 to A$300. Examples on this page use A$0.20, A$1 and A$10.
Each spin lands symbols on the 5x4 grid, and wins run along 12 fixed paylines from left to right. Fish symbols carry random money values, so each one pays its own amount.
On the reels, Scatter, Wild, Respin, Multiplier and Money Collect each have a role. Scatters open the free spins, and the Multiplier moves up during them.
Three, four or five scatters on the reels start 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Before the first spin, zero to five random modifiers may apply to the round.
The reels only move when you spin, so the session length is in your hands. Set your limit before the first spin and stop there, whatever the screen shows.
Instead of waiting for scatters to land, the bonus starts at a fixed multiple of the bet, shown in cash for the top example bet.
| Paid option | Cash price | RTP |

| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$1,000 | – |
| Buy Super Free Spins | x350 · A$3,500 | – |
Each spin on the reels adds to a long run, and return to player is the share of each A$100 staked that the game pays back. The running version appears in the game rules.

Scatter symbols land at random across the 5x4 reels, and no spin tells you when the free spins will start. How often that happens is not known in advance. Two sessions on the same slot can look completely different, whatever the RTP says about the long run.
Each spin on the 5x4 grid pays out according to one RTP version. Which version this lobby runs is shown only in the game rules, not on the reels. Check that section before you put money on the first spin, and keep the RTP figure in mind as a long-run average only.
Fish, Wild fishermen and multiplier levels have to meet on the same free spins run before the top prize can come up. The maximum win is a ceiling, and it is reached very rarely. Treat it as the limit of the game, not as something to expect from any session.
Bigger Bass Splash questions
Useful before your first spin, when you check the bets, buy costs and top prize.
Yes, both Free Spins and Super Free Spins can be bought from the left panel. At a A$10 bet, Free Spins cost A$1,000 and Super Free Spins cost A$3,500. The Ante Bet costs 1.5 times the bet, which is A$15 at A$10.
Bets start at A$0.10 and go up to A$300, the highest bet allowed here. The paytable is based on a A$0.20 bet, and the examples on this page use A$1 and A$10.
The RTP is 96.50%, the only RTP listed for this slot. It is the share of staked money the game pays back over a long run, so on A$100 staked the figure is A$96.50. No single session follows that figure.
Bigger Bass Splash has high volatility. Wins come less often than in low volatility games, but they can be larger when they land. No one can know in advance how a session will go.
Maximum win is 5,000 times the bet. At the A$10 example bet that comes to A$50,000, and at the A$300 maximum bet it comes to A$1,500,000. That ceiling is not a payout to expect.
Three or more Scatter symbols on the reels start the Free Spins round, and the spin count depends on how many land. Three Scatters give 10 spins, four give 15 and five give 20 spins.
Players must be 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or exclude yourself through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open the game, and keep to that amount. When it is spent, stop for the day.
Pick your stopping point before you start, and keep to it after a big win as well. A win is not a reason to keep spinning.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play. Do not raise them during a session, even when you are chasing a loss.
When the game stops being fun, or you feel pulled back to it, take a pause. If the urge to keep playing does not fade, consider self-exclusion.
