Big Bass Splash: a fishing video slot

Choosing a fishing video slot means choosing a 5x3 grid: five reels, three rows and 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from left to right, beginning on the leftmost reel. Only two matching symbols are needed for a payout, and the symbols include the red tackle box, the dragonfly and the cards from A to 10.

Deciding whether the Free Spins suit you starts with the Wild Fisherman, who appears on every reel and collects the random money values on fish symbols. Those values run from 2x to 5000x the total bet. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the multiplier, reaching x10 at level four, where retriggers end.

Game flow

Your first visit to the reels, step by step

Here is what happens between your bet and your result, in the order the reels show it.

  1. Bigger bets lift every money value

    Choose a bet between A$0.10 and A$250 before the first spin. Every money value on the fish and every win scales with that bet.

  2. Big Bass Splash counts from left

    Check the 10 fixed paylines for matching symbols, read from the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols are enough to pay, counted left to right.

  3. Two Scatters, then a teaser

    Watch for exactly two Scatter symbols, which bring a near-miss teaser. Either the Scatter reels drop one row while the others respin, or a hook lifts a reel, revealing another Scatter.

  4. Who collects the fish money?

    Watch the fish once Free Spins begin. The Fisherman WILD appears on all reels and collects money values from 2x to 5000x your total bet.

  5. Before the first spin, not after

    Decide your spending limit before the first spin, and stop once you reach it, whatever the reels show. Support is available through the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

Entering the Free Spins round for a price

If you want to enter the bonus directly, the buy costs 100 times your bet, which is A$200 at the A$2 top example bet.

Big Bass Splash and its fish-collecting feature

At Casino Rocket, every bonus rule is set out in plain words before you spin.

From x2 to x10 multiplier

Stay in Free Spins and the Fisherman WILD appears on every reel, collecting MONEY values of 2x-5000x total bet from fish symbols. Every 4th WILD collected retriggers +10 Free Spins and raises the multiplier: level 2 is x2, level 3 is x3, level 4 is x10, the maximum.

Base game spinsFish money collected

Big Bass Splash: 10 fixed paylines

Start each spin on the 5 reels x 3 rows, where 10 fixed paylines pay left to right. With exactly 2 SCATTER landed, a random respin-down drops the scatter reels one position while the others respin, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another SCATTER.

Random results and bonus timing

Choosing a stake means accepting that how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance. Each spin is random, so the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. An RTP figure describes the average return over a very large number of spins, not what happens in your next hour.

Before you stake, open the game rules and read which RTP version Casino Rocket runs for this slot. Only the rules show that version, so check them before the first spin rather than relying on any other page.

Chasing the top prize on Big Bass Splash means accepting that the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. Plan each session around your budget, not around that ceiling, because the top prize cannot be promised to any player.

How do I get the free spins in Big Bass Splash?
