Big Bass Splash is the latest slot developed by Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play. It’s part of the highly successful Big Bass series, only this time, the highly lucrative float symbol is replaced by the fisherman’s monster truck!
Big Bass Splash Info
Let me explain; if you are familiar with the popular Big Bass series, they feature a fisherman heading out on various fishing trips. Big Bass Splash is on a similar trajectory, but this time, the fisherman loads his monster truck with fishing gear and heads off to cast his line off a shoreline. The graphics are slightly different; we are not out at sea on a boat, casting a line into the deep ocean; although the grid remains underwater, we are closer to the land.
The graphics are colourful and immersive, just like their predecessors, and capture the essence of a fun fishing trip. The backdrop features a still lake with lush greenery and clear blue waters, while the symbols, most of which are the same, include fishing-related paraphernalia. The lower-paying symbols are the classic card royals from 10 to Ace, and the high-payers are the mega-truck, fishing rods, dragonflies, tackle boxes, and different types of fish money symbols. The wild is the fisherman and only appears in the free spins round.
As previously mentioned, the reels remain underwater and retain the same high-end graphics and animations as previous slots in the series. Big Bass Splash is available to play on desktop, tablet and mobile devices from 10p to £250 per spin. The slot is highly volatile, with an RTP of 96.71% and a max win capped at 5,000x the bet.
Big Bass Splash Gameplay and Features
Big Bass Splash is packed with exciting features, including free spins, money symbols, and various modifiers.
Money Symbols
The money symbols are different fish with cash values attached. They are collected during the free spins, and their cash values are paid out.
Free Spins
You’ll need 3 or more scatters on a spin to trigger the free spins. 3, 4 or 5 scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. However, if you land only 2 scatters, Big Bass Splash gives you a chance to land a 3rd scatter and trigger the free spins. If there is a space below the 2 scatters to drop down a position without dropping off the grid, a respin is awarded, and the reels without a scatter respin. Alternatively, a random hook may lift a reel to reveal a scatter.
Once you trigger the free spins, the Fisherman wild is active and appears on all reels. If the wild lands simultaneously with fish money symbols, he collects and pays their cash values. Additionally, collecting 4 wilds awards 10 free spins. The fish money multiplier increases to 2x, 3x, and 10x for levels 2, 3 and 4. The multiplier is added to the cash values collected from the fish money symbols. The feature can be retriggered up to three times. When you reach level 4, you can no longer retrigger the free spins.
Modifiers
Before the free spins commence, several modifiers are randomly awarded. These include:
Extra Fish: Increases the number of fish money symbols.
More Fishermen: More wild are added to the reels.
Dynamites, Hooks, and Bazookas: Increases the chances of hitting special features like dynamite, hooks, or bazooka spins during the free spins.
Start from Level 2: The Free Spins feature begins at level two in the progressive multiplier.
+2 Spins: Two free spins are added at the start of the feature and on each retrigger.
Additionally, after a losing spin, 3 more modifiers can trigger, and these are:
Dynamite – If a Fisherman lands with no Fish symbols present, Fish symbols are added in random positions.
Bazooka – If a Fisherman lands and no Fish symbols do, all symbols on the screen, barring the wild, change into other symbols.
Hook— If a fish lands but no fishermen are present, a reel may be hooked up to reveal a wild.
