Everyone’s favourite fisherman has donned his cowboy boots and hit the road to take on some lake fishing in Big Bass Splash, this fantastic addition to Pragmatic’s iconic fishing slot series, which all began in December 2020 with the release of the original Big Bass Bonanza slot game.
This fantastic series has been a huge success for the developer and is now over 25 games strong. Played on a 5x3 reel set with 10 paylines, it’s a high-volatility fishing-themed slot machine with a maximum win potential of 5,000 times your bet.

If you are new to playing online slots, the premise of the game is simple. Your objective is to land matching reel symbols along predefined paylines to trigger prizes as per the game’s paytable. Bonus symbols can also help you trigger features that allow you to earn boosted rewards.
When you launch the Big Bass Splash title, you are plunged deep into an underwater world, where a bubbly 5x3 reel set offers a range of brightly coloured symbols with a slight Western flavour to indicate a change of setting.
Pragmatic’s typical control panel offers an info icon to access the game rules, plus and minus buttons to alter your bet size, and the iconic spin button to start your reels spinning.
There is little change to the usual low-paying playing card royals and fishing-themed premium symbols on the reels. The top payer in this title is the fisherman’s truck, which awards payouts for matching just two of a kind, up to a top prize of 200x for matching five of a kind along one of the game’s 10 fixed paylines.
The scatter symbol is the iconic big bass, which is your entryway to the game’s free spins bonus. Fish money symbols and fisherman wilds are the other bonus symbols in the title but are inactive in the base game.
The paytable below shows the payouts you can expect when playing the game with a £1.00 per spin wager:
Symbol | Match 2 | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 |
10 | - | 0.20 | 1.00 | 5.00 |
Jack | - | 0.20 | 1.00 | 5.00 |
Queen | - | 0.20 | 1.00 | 5.00 |
King | - | 0.20 | 2.50 | 10.00 |
Ace | - | 0.20 | 2.50 | 10.00 |
Fish | - | 1.00 | 5.00 | 20.00 |
Tackle Box | - | 2.00 | 10.00 | 50.00 |
Dragonfly | - | 2.00 | 10.00 | 50.00 |
Fishing Rod | - | 3.00 | 15.00 | 100.00 |
Truck | 0.50 | 5.00 | 20.00 | 200.00 |
Fans of the series will know that the free spins bonus is the highlight of the game and where the friendly fisherman makes his only appearance. This time, dressed in stetson and boots, ready to reel in fish money prizes from the Texan lake.
You need three or more Big Bass scatter symbols to trigger the free spins bonus, earning 10, 15, or 20 free spins for the feature for landing 3, 4 or 5 triggering scatters, respectively.
On occasion, during the base game, if two scatters appear, you’ll get a random second chance to trigger the bonus through a free respin with the scatters locked in place.
Before the bonus begins, you’ll be randomly awarded between 0 and 5 modifiers, which can help to boost your win potential. Modifiers include the following:
Once awarded, your bonus begins on a slightly modified reel set featuring a progression meter along the top of the reels, where fisherman wilds are collected. Every fourth wild collected retriggers the feature and moves you up a progression level for win multipliers up to 10x.
When fisherman wilds land on the reels at the same time as fish money symbols, all cash values are collected and awarded. Fisherman wilds also act as traditional wilds, substituting for regular pay symbols to help you complete paylines and score prizes.
