Ante Bet and both buys share the same 96.50% return

Every paid route into the bonus lands on the same number: the Ante Bet, the 100x Free Spins buy and the 350x Super Free Spins buy each record 96.50%, identical to the base game. Bigger Bass Splash prices its shortcuts in bet multiples, not in return. The premium goes on structure — the Super round starts with twelve spins and all five modifiers active — while the 2022 Splash it follows published a higher return with less on sale. The demo settles what that means in practice: the Wild never lands outside Free Spins, so the 12 Lines carry the base game alone while every fish holds a hidden value up to 5000x. High volatility decides the rest, and a free session says little about that.

Step-by-step guide to playing

Three Scatter bass on the 5x4 grid is what every round of Bigger Bass Splash builds toward: they open Free Spins, where the Wild fisherman collects the cash values carried by fish symbols. Between triggers, play repeats one loop — set a stake, spin, and watch the reels.

Set the total bet

Tap the minus or plus button next to SPIN to open the bet menu, then adjust BET and COIN VALUE until the total bet sits anywhere from $0.10 to $300.00. The Ante Bet toggle on the left switches the multiplier to 15x for more Scatter on the reels.
Spin the reels

Press SPIN, SPACE or ENTER to play the round at the current stake. Holding SPACE runs TURBO SPIN, and AUTOPLAY opens a menu for hands-off spins. Wins pay left to right across the 12 Lines, with only the highest win counted per line.
Track the Scatter count

Three or more Scatter symbols trigger Free Spins: 10 spins for three, 15 for four, 20 for five. When exactly two land, a Respin or a hook may pull a third Scatter onto the screen. Otherwise the round ends and play returns to PLACE YOUR BETS.
Collect with the Wild

During Free Spins each Wild fisherman gathers every Money value showing on the fish symbols. Every fourth Wild collected retriggers the feature with 10 extra spins and raises the Multiplier through 2x, 3x and 10x, until the round ends or the 5,000x cap is reached.

Game modes

Five money symbols hide a random value of 2x to 5000x the bet behind every spin, and the four cards below follow that value as it moves from a concealed number on the reel strips to a collected, multiplier-scaled payout. Each entry governs a different point where that hidden figure changes state.

Base Game

Twelve fixed Lines cross five reels and four rows, paying left to right, while fish symbols silently carry a random money value that stays invisible here. Two Scatters without a third can still change the round: a respin or a hook may add the missing Scatter, and the Ante Bet toggle raises Scatter frequency at a 15x bet multiplier.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters converts them into 10, 15 or 20 spins and reveals every hidden fish value as a cash overlay. Before the round, 0 to 5 modifiers are drawn at random, and each fourth collected Wild retriggers 10 more spins while stepping the multiplier from 1x to 2x, 3x and finally 10x.

Super Free Spins

Paying 350x the bet skips the random modifier draw entirely: all five modifiers activate at once, from more fish and more fishermen to starting at multiplier level 2. The round opens with 12 spins instead of 10, and every retrigger adds 12 more, so the same Wild collect runs longer and at higher levels.

WILD Money Collect

This is the moment a landed fisherman turns exposed fish values into a payout: he gathers every money amount visible on screen at that instant. Collected sums accumulate until the round closes, then pay out multiplied by the current level, while dynamite, hook and wipeout events keep fish and fisherman landing together.
