Big Bass Splash is a 5x3, 10-payline fishing slot from Pragmatic Play, released in June 2022, with 96.71% RTP, medium volatility by its own rules and a 5,000x max win. In the free spins, wilds collect the fish values, and random modifiers can be applied before they start.
You play on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. Symbols pay from left to right on neighbouring reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win on each line is paid, and wins on different lines are added together.
In the demo the bet runs from 0.10 to 250 per spin; a casino sets its own range in euro.
The base game is a simple line slot: card symbols and fishing gear, with the fish as top-value symbols. Two scatters without a third get a chance of help from the game: a respin can move them down a position, or a hook can pull a reel up to reveal another scatter. The real action is in the free spins.
Pays are multiples of your total bet for 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on a line. The game's table shows cash at the bet on screen; here it is converted to multiples of the bet.
Pays in times your total bet
Truck
The top pay: 200 times your bet for 5 on a line, which is €40 on a 20 cent spin. Two trucks already pay 0.5x.
Fishing rod
Pays half of what the truck does at 5 on a line.
Dragonfly
Pays the same as the tackle box: 50 times for 5.

Fisherman (wild)
Substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, and appears on all reels in the free spins, where it collects the fish values.

3, 4 or 5 on the reels open 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
In the base game the low pays return less than you staked: on a €1 bet, three tens pay 20 cent. It is the fish and the free spins that decide a session.
3, 4 or 5 scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. During the round the fisherman wild appears on every reel, and each wild that lands collects the values of all the fish on screen. Every wild collected counts until the end of the round.
Each fish takes a random value on every spin: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,666x, 2,500x or 5,000x your total bet, and these are only paid in the free spins. On a €1 bet, a wild that lands next to fish worth 2x, 5x and 10x pays 17x, which is €17.
Every 4th wild collected awards 10 more spins and raises the multiplier on the fish it collects: 2x at the second level, 3x at the third and 10x at the fourth. After the fourth level the round cannot retrigger again, so a round can run to 50 spins (20 from the scatters and 30 from three retriggers) before any modifier. This is the game's multipliers feature.
Before a round starts, 0 to 5 modifiers are chosen at random: more fish on the reel strips, more fisherman wilds, a better chance of the dynamite, hook or bazooka features, starting at level 2, or 2 extra spins (and 2 more with every retrigger). You do not pick them.
At the end of a free spin the game can step in. Fisherman wilds with no fish on screen can trigger dynamite, which drops fish into random positions, or a bazooka that changes every symbol except the fishermen. Fish with no fisherman can bring a hook that pulls a reel up to reveal one.
Where the casino offers it, bonus buy opens the free spins for 100 times your bet: €20 on a 20 cent spin, with no guarantee of winning it back. On the buying spin, 3, 4 or 5 scatters are guaranteed to land. The RTP is 96.71% either way.
Pragmatic Play lists a 96.71% RTP: the share of stakes the game pays back over millions of spins, and the rules give the same figure with the bonus buy. In one session, anything can happen. Casinos can run other RTP configurations of the same game, and the info screen shows the figure in use.
The rules screen labels the game medium volatility: it pays steadily, and the range runs from low to very high. The max win is 5,000 times the bet, €1,000 on a 20 cent spin and €5,000 on €1. A free spins round that hits the cap ends at once and the remaining spins are lost.
The art is a canyon lake with a fisherman in a cowboy hat, a golden bass on the logo and the reels set under the water. It sits with fishing slots, fisherman slots and fish slots, and in the 3D slots style.
The demo does not show a casino's bonus terms or the RTP version it runs, and it uses credits, not euro.
Big Bass Splash is one of more than 40 games in the Big Bass series that Pragmatic Play distributes, in our library in November 2026. It came out after Big Bass Bonanza of December 2020, which started the series. Close relatives:

In our check of Irish-facing casino lobbies in early November 2026, Big Bass Splash was in the popular or home-page rows of six of the lobbies we checked, third in PlayOJO's Popular Games row. On Google in Ireland it gets about 280 searches a month, 260 of them for the demo (November 2026).
With real money the game is the same, but wins become cashable and the casino picks the RTP version it runs, so check the info screen. A bonus can add wagering terms that apply to what you win.
Ireland's licensing is changing. Under the Gambling Regulation Act 2024, the GRAI has licensed remote betting since 1 July 2026, but licences for online gaming are only due to open from 2027. Until then, check which licence a casino holds before you deposit. The casinos on this page come from our Irish casino rankings.
Real-money play is for adults 18+ only. This slot can run through a stake quickly without the free spins, so set a limit before you start. If it stops being fun, GamblingCare.ie runs a free 24-hour helpline on 1800 936 725, and our responsible gambling page lists more help.
Yes, the demo on this page is free: practice credits, no account and no deposit, and nothing you win can be cashed out. To play for euro, see the real-money casinos we rank for Ireland.
96.71%, and the game's rules give the same figure when you use the bonus buy. The RTP a casino runs is shown in the game's info screen, so check it before you stake anything. The sequel Bigger Bass Splash lists 96.50%.
Not by its own label: the rules screen calls it medium volatility, with pays that range from low to very high. Fish values go up to 5,000x, so a quiet spell can end in one big free spins round.
5,000 times your stake: €1,000 on a 20 cent spin, or €5,000 on a €1 spin. If a free spins round reaches that cap, it ends on the spot and any spins left are lost.
Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters to win 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Before the round starts, 0 to 5 random modifiers are applied to it, such as more fish or two extra spins.
Yes, where the casino offers it: the free spins cost 100 times your stake, so €20 on a 20 cent spin. Read more about bonus buy slots; the buy is not available at every casino.
Pragmatic Play, in June 2022, with Reel Kingdom's name on the game screen. It is part of the Big Bass series that began with Big Bass Bonanza.
