Pragmatic Play · 2025
Bigger Bass Splash is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play with a 5x4 grid. This page covers the paylines, symbol payouts and bonus modes.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and players aged 18+.
Five reels run across four rows, and the 12 fixed paylines are read from left to right. Three matching symbols on a payline is the fewest that pay. The game uses the fishing and ocean theme, with fish symbols that carry a random money value on every spin. Those values decide what each fish pays, so the same symbol can pay different amounts from one spin to the next.
Three or more Scatter symbols start Free Spins: 10 spins for three, 15 for four and 20 for five. During Free Spins, a Wild fisherman collects the money values of fish on screen. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 spins and raises the multiplier from 1x to 2x, 3x and 10x. Super Free Spins start with 12 spins and all five modifiers active.

Bigger Bass Splash
Thepokies Casino describes each round in the order the reels play it, with the figures in plain money.
The reels stay still until you pick a bet from A$0.10 to A$300. Payouts scale with that stake, so the same symbols pay more at a higher bet.
Symbols land on the 5x4 grid and wins form left to right on 12 fixed paylines. Three matching symbols on a line pay, and fish carry random money values each spin.
Scatter, Wild, Money Collect, Multiplier and Respin make up the feature set on the reels, and the multiplier steps 1x, 2x, 3x, 10x in Free Spins.
Three, four or five Scatter symbols on the reels start Free Spins with 10, 15 or 20 spins. Every fourth Wild collected during the round adds 10 more spins.
The reels keep turning until you stop or the balance runs out, so set a session limit before the first spin.
The reels open a free spins round for 100x the bet, which is A$200 at the A$2 example top bet.
| Paid extra | Price | RTP |

| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$200 | – |
| Buy Super Free Spins | x350 · A$700 | – |
Each spin on the reels takes the stake and pays a share of it over many spins. That share is the return to player, per A$100 staked. The game rules show the version Thepokies runs.

Bigger Bass Splash bonuses
Read this before you start a round or reach your first scatter bonus.
3 or more scatters on the reels start the mode: 3 give 10 spins, 4 give 15, 5 give 20. Each WILD, the fisherman, collects the MONEY values from fish on screen. Every 4th WILD collected adds 10 spins and steps the multiplier up 1x, 2x, 3x, 10x.
Base game spinsFree spins, multipliers
The reels run 12 spins from the start, with all 5 pre-round modifiers active: MORE FISH, MORE FISHERMAN, MORE HOOKS/DYNAMITES/WIPEOUTS, START FROM LEVEL 2 and +2 SPINS. Retriggers add 12 spins each, and WILD collects follow the same multiplier steps.
Game lobbyPremium free spins
Each spin lands across 5 reels x 4 rows, and wins run along 12 fixed paylines from left to right. Fish symbols carry random MONEY values on every spin, so the value of a fish changes between spins.
Bet placedFish money values
Each WILD landing during free spins collects every MONEY value visible on screen. Those values build up across the whole round and multiply by the current multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x or 10x. Random dynamite, hook and wipeout events make fish and fisherman appear together on screen.

See a win clearly
After this section, you will have matched a win and a free spins round to the rules above.
Scatter symbols land on the reels, and three or more of them open the Free Spins round, but how often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP says. The RTP is a long-run average over a very large number of spins, so it says nothing about what your next session will pay.
Every spin on the 5x4 grid pays under one RTP version. Only the game rules show which version Thepokies Casino runs, because other versions of the series carry different RTP figures. Check the game rules before you start, so you know which figure applies to your session.
Fish symbols on the reels carry money values, and the wins they build can climb, but the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. No feature of the free spins makes a session reach it. Read the maximum as the most the game can pay, not as an expected result.
Demo mode
After this section you will know how to open the demo and what the real game requires.
On the reels, the demo spins cost no money and pay nothing back. The real game needs an account with Thepokies Casino, and you must be 18+.
Play nowPlay is for people aged 18+. For help, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or sign up to BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide the amount you can afford to lose before the first spin, and stop once it is spent. High volatility means losses can come in long runs.
Fix the point where you stop before any spin, and keep it after a big win as well as after a loss.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, so they apply from the first spin.
When the game stops being fun, take a break, and self-exclude if breaks do not help. Spinning on to win back losses is the moment to stop.
