Play Big Bass Splash Slot

Big Bass Splash is the louder, brasher sequel to Pragmatic Play's iconic Big Bass Bonanza, and one of the best fishing slots on the market. Released in June 2022 by Reel Kingdom (the development studio behind every Big Bass title), this fourth instalment in the franchise took the original formula and turned the dial up on every front, more visual punch, more bonus round chaos, and crucially a much bigger top win.

The slot runs on the classic 5-reel, 3-row Big Bass grid with 10 fixed paylines, but the visual identity gets a serious facelift. The fishing float of the original is gone, replaced by a fully kitted-out monster truck as the highest-paying regular symbol. The soundtrack is chirpier, the colour palette louder, and underwater scenes are dotted with neon coral and shoals of fish. It still feels unmistakably Big Bass, just with a different attitude.

Volatility is high, so wins arrive less frequently but in much bigger chunks when they do, particularly through the Free Spins bonus where almost all the big-win potential is concentrated. The headline figure is the maximum win of 5,000x your stake, nearly two and a half times the 2,100x ceiling of the original Big Bass Bonanza, which gives Big Bass Splash a significantly higher peak.

What the sequel really brought to the series, beyond the new top win, was depth: the pre-spin Hook feature, three distinct random modifiers in the bonus round, and a more elaborate multiplier ladder. If you have played the original and want a richer, riskier version of the same recipe, this is the one.

If you like the look of Big Bass Splash and want to play it, all you need to do is set up an account with talkSPORT BET. Once you’ve registered and added some funds, simply head over to the slots section, and choose Big Bass Splash. The game will open in a new window.

To play Big Bass Splash slot, all you need to do is select your stake and press spin. You can bet anywhere between £0.10 and £250 per spin. The aim of the game is to match symbols on the reels, and the game will alert you when you do so. The winnings will also be instantly credited to your account, so you can continue playing or head to the lobby and cash out. If you don’t feel like pressing the button yourself all the time, you could kick back and press the autospin option to have it done for you – just remember to set how many spins you want it to run for and to make sure you're informed on Safer Gambling Tools we offer at talkSPORT BET.

The reels are dressed with the angling iconography you would expect, plus the classic playing card royals at the lower end. The headline symbol upgrade over the original Big Bass Bonanza is the monster Truck, which replaces the fishing float as the top-paying regular symbol — a nod to the all-American fishing-trip-with-a-twist aesthetic the sequel goes for.

There are three special symbols. The scatter is the Big Bass fish, which can land on any reel and triggers the Free Spins round when three or more appear in view. The Wild is the Fisherman himself, who only appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 during the Free Spins (not in the base game). The third is the Money Fish, a green fish carrying a randomly assigned coin value that becomes vital in the bonus round.

Symbols listed from highest to lowest paying:

• Truck (top symbol, replaces the Fishing Float of the original)
• Fishing Reel / Rod
• Dragonfly and Tackle Box
• Green Fish
• Ace and King
• Queen, Jack, and 10

Plus the special symbols (Fisherman Wild, Big Bass Scatter, and Money Fish), each playing a key role in unlocking the bigger wins.

This is where Big Bass Splash earns its reputation. The base game is intentionally clean and steady, the bonus round is where almost all of the 5,000x potential lives. Here is how it all works.

Money Fish Symbol

The Money Fish is a green fish symbol carrying a random monetary value. Each one is assigned a multiplier from a range that includes 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, and beyond, up to a major prize value on the rarest land. In the base game these pay out like normal symbols. In the Free Spins round they become the engine of the big wins.

Free Spins Bonus

Land 3 or more Big Bass scatter symbols anywhere on the reels in a single spin to trigger the Free Spins feature:

• 3 Scatters: 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters: 15 free spins
• 5 Scatters: 20 free spins

During the Free Spins, the Fisherman Wild enters the game on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Every time the Fisherman lands, he sweeps up every Money Fish symbol currently visible on screen, adding the combined value to your win total. The longer the round, the more Money Fish accumulate, and the bigger the collected hauls become.

Retriggers and Multiplier Ladder

The signature Big Bass mechanic: every 4 Fisherman Wilds collected during the Free Spins round triggers a retrigger AND lifts the multiplier applied to every collected Money Fish value:

• First retrigger (4 Wilds collected): +10 free spins, 2x multiplier on all collected fish values
• Second retrigger (8 Wilds collected): +10 free spins, 3x multiplier
• Third retrigger (12 Wilds collected): +10 free spins, 10x multiplier

The maximum is 3 retriggers per bonus round. Hit all three, and a screen full of high-value Money Fish swept up at a 10x multiplier is exactly how the 5,000x max win is built. As the multiplier ladder is what separates Big Bass Splash from the simpler original, this is the round to chase.

Bonus Modifiers

Big Bass Splash adds three random modifiers absent from the original Big Bass Bonanza, which can trigger during the Free Spins round to keep things lively: extra free spins drops, additional Fisherman Wilds appearing on the reels, and an extra Money Fish drop. These keep the bonus round unpredictable and add another layer of potential on top of the standard mechanic.
