Bigger Bass Splash - VIPS Casino's guide to this high-volatility fishing slot

Bigger Bass Splash is a fishing-themed slot on a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 12 fixed paylines that run left to right. Released in early 2025, it combines ocean imagery with a core mechanic: fish symbols carry random money values each spin. You can toggle an Ante Bet to increase how often scatter symbols land, or skip straight to buying Free Spins or Super Free Spins from the left panel. Pragmatic Play's high-volatility design means wins arrive less often but can be much bigger.

You'll suit this slot if you're comfortable with your money lasting through dry spins in pursuit of larger payoffs. The Ante Bet costs 50% more per spin, while buying Free Spins starts at 100 times your stake and Super Free Spins at 350 times. Minimum bet is A$0.10 and maximum A$300, so the range covers both cautious players and high-rollers. The high volatility means this slot rewards patience and a bigger bankroll, not frequent small wins.

Free Spins are the mode that changes everything. Three or more scatter symbols trigger them: 3 scatters give 10 spins, 4 give 15, and 5 give 20. During these spins, every Wild symbol (a fisherman) collects all the money values visible on screen. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 more spins and bumps up your multiplier from 1x to 2x to 3x to 10x. Your collected money gets multiplied by your current level, so the longer you hold out, the bigger your final payout can climb.

You pick your stake from A$0.10 up to A$300 per spin. The higher your bet, the bigger your possible payouts—a top bet of A$5 can win up to A$25,000, while the maximum stake of A$300 reaches A$1,500,000. You can also toggle Ante Bet to boost scatter frequency.

The reels stop and you look for matching symbols across the 12 paylines, reading left to right. Three or more of the same symbol land a win and you see your payout added to your balance. Fish symbols carry random money values that matter during free spins.

Most spins end after the reels stop. But fish symbols hold money values, and when a wild (the fisherman) lands, it collects all the money on screen right then. Those collected values stay in your pot and can be multiplied if you reach the bonus round.

Land three or more scatters and free spins begin—three scatters give 10 spins, four give 15, five give 20. During these spins, the wild continues collecting money, and every fourth wild collected boosts your multiplier and adds 10 more spins to your round.

Before your first spin, you can set a deposit limit, a loss limit, or a session time reminder in your account. These boundaries stay in place across all your play, helping you stick to what you decided beforehand.

Land 3 or more scatters to trigger free spins: 3 scatters gives 10 spins, 4 gives 15, and 5 gives 20. During the round, each wild that lands collects all money values from fish symbols on screen. Every 4th wild collected retriggered 10 more spins and advances the multiplier level.

Bigger Bass Splash lets you buy this premium version upfront for 350 times your bet. All five pre-round modifiers are active from the start: more fish, more fisherman, more hooks and dynamite, start from level 2 multiplier, and 2 bonus spins. You start with 12 spins and retriggered spins add 12 more.

The base game runs across 5 reels and 4 rows with 12 paylines that read left to right. Each fish symbol carries a random money value for that spin. You can toggle Ante Bet on the left panel to increase how often scatters land, and buy either free spins package from the same menu.

When the fisherman wild lands during free spins, it instantly collects every money value visible on that screen from all fish symbols. Those values add up through the entire free spins round, then multiply by whichever level you have reached: 1 times, 2 times, 3 times, or 10 times the sum.

When the Free Spins bonus triggers depends on luck each spin. No pattern shows when scatters will land, so you cannot plan when the round starts or if it comes at all.

The RTP of 96.50% describes what happens across thousands of spins. Your single session might win far more, far less, or break even: the average tells you nothing about your result.

A maximum win of A$1,500,000 exists in the game rules. Reaching it stays vanishingly rare; treat the ceiling as a feature of the machine, not an outcome to expect.

Decide how much you can afford to spend on a session and stick to that amount. This limit keeps your play within your means, no matter what happens.

Plan when you'll walk away before you start playing. Winning can feel like the moment to keep going, but that's when stopping protects you most.

Use your account's deposit and loss limits to enforce the boundaries you set. These tools stop play when you reach your limit, without exception.
