Bigger Bass Splash at 1bet Casino: what you need to know before spinning
Pragmatic Play's fishing-themed slot with 5 reels, free spins where wild symbols collect money values, and a 96.50% RTP. High volatility means wins come less often and can be much bigger.
Bigger Bass Splash: a fishing-themed high volatility slot
Fishing meets money collection? Bigger Bass Splash drops you on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with a fishing theme and ocean backdrop. Released in early 2025 by Pragmatic Play, it uses 12 paylines running left to right. Fish symbols carry random money values each spin, and the core mechanic revolves around collecting those values during Free Spins using the Wild fisherman symbol. High volatility means wins come less often and can be much bigger than you might expect.
Does your betting style fit? You'll suit this slot if you enjoy chasing bigger payouts and can handle longer stretches without wins. It works across a range of bets—from NZ$0.10 minimum to NZ$300 maximum—so both cautious and aggressive players can participate. The high volatility and features like Free Spins buys and an Ante Bet option appeal most to players who know what volatility means and want control over how they engage.
How Free Spins win the round. Free Spins shape every round of Bigger Bass Splash. Land three or more Scatter symbols to unlock 10 to 20 spins depending on how many Scatters appeared. During Free Spins, each Wild that lands collects all visible money values from fish symbols on screen. Every fourth Wild collected retriggered bonus spins and advances a multiplier ladder—moving from 1x through 2x, 3x, and up to 10x—which multiplies your collected values before the round ends.

What you see when you play Bigger Bass Splash
Bigger Bass Splash free spins rounds
From scatters to spinning. Land 3 or more scatters to enter free spins: 3 scatters award 10 spins, 4 award 15 spins, 5 award 20 spins. The wild symbol collects all money values from fish on screen when it lands. Every fourth wild collected retriggered 10 additional spins and advances the multiplier from 1x to 2x to 3x to 10x.
Buy the premium bonus. Purchase Super Free Spins for 350 times your bet to start with all five pre-round modifiers active and 12 initial spins. More fish, more fisherman, more random events, and a level 2 starting multiplier all come with you into the round. Retriggered spins award 12 extra spins each.
How does the base game work? The base game runs across 5 reels in 4 rows with 12 fixed paylines reading left to right. Each spin displays fish symbols carrying random money values. Toggle Ante Bet to boost the scatters that trigger your bonus, or purchase Free Spins directly from the left panel.
How wild symbols collect money. During free spins, every wild that lands on your reels collects all visible money symbol values. These collected amounts stack throughout the entire bonus round and are multiplied by your current multiplier level. Random hooks, dynamite and wipeout events ensure fish and the wild fisherman appear together on screen.
Bigger Bass Splash offers three paid choices

Trigger Free Spins without waiting for scatters to land naturally. At NZ$1 per spin, this costs NZ$100 and awards 10 spins where your wilds collect money values from fish symbols and multiply your payout.
Premium free spins unlocked
Start your Free Spins with all five random modifiers already active, giving you more fish, more wilds, and guaranteed multiplier advancement from level 2. At NZ$1 per spin, this costs NZ$350 and begins with 12 spins instead of 10.
Bigger Bass Splash with higher stakes
Toggle the Ante Bet to raise your stake and scatter frequency in exchange for higher risk. At NZ$1 per spin, this costs an extra NZ$0.50, lifting your total bet to NZ$1.50 and multiplying your potential payouts by 1.5.

Know your house edge before you play
RTP is a long-run average calculated over an enormous number of spins. Each RTP figure applies only to the condition listed next to it: the standard game, when you use the ante bet, or when you purchase free spins.
RTP 96.50% · Standard game, with ante bet, or when you buy free spins
What you cannot know before your first spin
When free spins arrive is random. The scatter symbols appear randomly across spins. No pattern predicts when three will land together to start your bonus round, whether on your second spin or your hundredth.
One session is never typical. The 96.50% RTP describes expected returns over millions of spins. Your single session—winning big, breaking even or losing your stake—is entirely random and follows no predictable path.
Will you hit the maximum win? The maximum win of NZ$1,500,000 at the top bet is a mathematical ceiling reached so rarely that you should play assuming it will not happen during your time at this slot.
Bigger Bass Splash sits alongside five related games
These games share the fishing theme and high volatility but differ in RTP (96.50–96.52%) and maximum win (5000x to 25000x stake).

Keep gambling within your means
Your session stake. Choose how much you can afford to lose before your session starts. Set this amount based on your income and other expenses, not on the size of a win you hope for.
Stopping after a win. Decide when to stop playing, whether you're ahead or behind. A big win is a chance to pause and step away, not a signal to keep going.
Before and after play. Use your account's deposit limits and loss limits to enforce the boundaries you set. These tools make your plan automatic, so you stay within it.
When is it time to pause? If the game stops feeling fun or you find it hard to stop, take a break or use self-exclusion. The Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand and Gambling Helpline New Zealand are there to help.
