Big Bass Splash

Game Overview

Big Bass Splash is a video slot developed by Reel Kingdom, built around a fishing and underwater theme. The game presents a five-reel, three-row grid with ten fixed paylines and features a cartoon style with three-dimensional rendered elements set against a turquoise blue underwater environment. A desert canyon landscape is visible above the waterline, creating a distinctive visual identity for the game.

The central character is a friendly fisherman mascot who serves as the wild symbol during the free spins feature. A bass fish character acts as the scatter symbol and triggers the primary bonus round. The game is designed around a progressive four-level multiplier collection system that escalates potential wins dramatically across retriggered free spins rounds.

The maximum win available in Big Bass Splash is 5000x total bet. This cap also functions as an immediate round termination trigger: once cumulative wins during a free spins session reach 5000x stake, the round ends instantly and all remaining spins are forfeited.

The Progressive Multiplier System

Big Bass Splash is built around a four-level progressive multiplier system that operates exclusively during the free spins feature. The system tracks wild symbol collection throughout the entire free spins session including all retriggered rounds. Every time the fourth wild symbol is collected, the feature retriggers with ten additional free spins and the multiplier advances to the next level.

Level one begins at 1x multiplier and requires the first four wilds to be collected before advancing. Level two activates at 2x multiplier after four wilds have been collected. Level three activates at 3x multiplier after eight total wilds have been collected. Level four, the maximum level, activates at 10x multiplier after twelve total wilds have been collected. Once level four is reached, the feature can no longer be retriggered regardless of how many additional wilds land.

The multiplier applies to all money symbol values collected by wild symbols during the respective level. A money fish symbol carrying a 500x value collected by a wild during level four with the 10x multiplier active would contribute 5000x total bet to the round total — which would simultaneously trigger the maximum win cap and end the feature immediately.

Wild Collection Mechanic

During the free spins feature, each wild symbol that lands on the reels performs two simultaneous functions. First, it substitutes for all symbols except the scatter symbol to help complete payline wins. Second, it collects the displayed values from every money fish symbol visible anywhere on the three-row grid at that moment. The collected value is added to the running total for the round after the multiplier for the current level is applied.

Wild symbols are counted and tracked in a collection bar displayed across the top of the reel grid during free spins. The first collected wild is shown in full colour, whilst subsequent wilds are shown in greyscale to indicate collection progress. Milestone positions at the fourth, eighth, and twelfth slots are marked with retrigger badges showing the multiplier that will activate.

Money Symbol Values and Distribution

Money fish symbols carry thirteen possible values assigned randomly each spin: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1666x, 2500x, and 5000x total bet. These values are displayed directly on the fish symbol on the reel grid. The same symbol position can display a completely different value from one spin to the next as values are reassigned each time the reels spin.

Values are assigned independently of the base payout the money fish symbols also carry as regular payline symbols. A money fish symbol contributes its displayed value to wild collection regardless of whether it forms part of a winning payline combination.

Base Game Scatter Mechanics

In the base game, scatter symbols appear on all five reels and trigger the free spins feature when three or more land simultaneously. The scatter is the bass fish character wearing a brown fishing vest with a SCATTER banner displayed below it.

When exactly two scatter symbols land without a third, the game can randomly activate one of two assistance features designed to increase the probability of triggering free spins:

• Respin Feature: If the two landed scatter symbols can each move down one position without leaving their respective reel areas, a respin is triggered. The reels containing scatter symbols shift down one position whilst all other reels respin, providing a second chance for a third scatter to appear.
• Hook Feature: A fishing hook can randomly appear and pull one of the reels up or down to bring a scatter symbol from just above or below the visible grid area onto the screen, potentially completing the three-scatter trigger requirement.

Random Features During Free Spins

Three random features can activate during the free spins round, each designed to ensure that wild and money symbol combinations occur regularly throughout the feature:

Fish Money Spawn (Dynamite Spin)

This feature activates randomly when fisherman wild symbols are present on the reels but no fish money symbols are visible. At the end of a free spin, fish money symbols appear in random positions on the reel grid. This directly creates collection opportunities where none previously existed, ensuring wilds can collect values even when money symbols did not land naturally.

Hook Pull Feature

This feature activates randomly when fish money symbols are present on the reels but no fisherman wild symbols are visible. A hook animation appears and pulls a random reel upward to bring fisherman wild symbols from above the visible grid area down onto the screen. This ensures that money symbol values displayed on the reels can be collected when no wilds would otherwise land.

Bazooka Transform Feature

This feature activates randomly when fisherman wild symbols are present on the reels but no fish money symbols are visible. A bazooka animation appears and transforms all symbols currently on screen except the fisherman wild symbols into different symbols. Special alternative reel strips are used during this transformation, dramatically increasing the probability that money fish symbols appear among the transformed positions.

Feature Frequency and the More Dynamite Hooks Bazookas Modifier

The probability of all three random features triggering during any given free spin is increased when the More Dynamite, Hooks and Bazookas modifier is active. This modifier is one of five possible pre-round modifiers that can be randomly assigned before the free spins session begins.

Buy Feature

Big Bass Splash includes a buy feature that allows players to instantly trigger the free spins round without waiting for three scatter symbols to land naturally in the base game. The cost is 100x the current total bet. At the maximum bet configuration shown in the game specifications of $225.00 total bet, the buy feature costs $22,500.

When the buy feature is activated, the triggering spin randomly awards either 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols. Three scatters award 10 initial free spins, four scatters award 15 free spins, and five scatters award 20 free spins. The scatter count on the triggering spin is determined randomly, meaning the cost of the buy feature remains constant at 100x stake regardless of how many scatters land.

A confirmation popup appears when the buy feature button is clicked, displaying the cost and requiring the player to confirm or decline the purchase before the feature activates. The buy feature button is displayed in the top left corner of the main game screen showing the current cost based on the active bet level.

Modifier Selection and Application

Before each free spins round begins, the game randomly selects between zero and five modifiers that apply to the entire subsequent round. These modifiers are displayed on a congratulations screen when the feature is triggered, shown as circular badge icons. The selected modifiers remain active for the full duration of the free spins session including all retriggered rounds.

Symbol Payouts and Money Values Explained

All symbols in Big Bass Splash pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The paytable uses a clear hierarchy across ten symbols plus two special symbols. Payouts below are expressed as multiples of total stake.

High Value Symbols

The Red Truck is the only regular symbol with a two-symbol payout at 1x stake, making it uniquely valuable even when just two appear on adjacent reels from the left. The Money Fish symbols also function as money symbols during free spins, carrying random values from 2x to 5000x total bet that are collected by wild symbols.
