GAME FEATURES
Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Splash slot is the 5th game in the Big Bass series and introduces a host of brand-new elements. It's those new features, plus an iconic theme and a catchy hillbilly soundtrack that have made Big Bass Splash the most popular online slot in the UK.
If you're looking to play Big Bass Splash for real money, or try the Big Bass Splash demo, it takes less than 60 seconds to create a PlayOJO account and get started. Or if you’re a fan of the game who wants to take your knowledge one level higher, read on for some unique Big Bass Splash tips and expert insights you won’t find anywhere else online.
Features, facts and tips you might not know
When you play Big Bass Splash, your results are in the hands of the slots gods. It’s pure luck. That means there are no Big Bass Splash tips or cheats that can help you get free spins more often, or increase your odds of winning that 5,000x max win.
That said, there are some new and unusual elements in the game that we think deserve special attention. Even if you’ve been playing this slot for a while, these might help you squeeze even more enjoyment out of the game.
New high-value symbol
The highest value symbol in the original game was the fishing float. Big Bass Splash has added a bit more grunt with the monster truck, a symbol that’s completely new to the Big Bass series. It’s not just got super-size looks, either. Five trucks are worth 400 coins, double the first game’s maximum paytable win.
Upgraded free spins feature
Roughly once every 113 spins on average, the game awards its one and only bonus feature - at least 10 free spins. During the free spins bonus round, if you spin a fisherman, you’ll collect any fish money symbols on screen. Money symbols range from 2x to 5,000x. So far, it’s much the same as previous Big Bass slots.
Pragmatic have upgraded this slot in 2 important ways. First, every fisherman gets added to the meter above the reels, allowing you to unlock more free spins. Second, you receive up to 5 modifiers before the free spins begin. These include more fish, more wilds, Level 2 (every wild win has a 2x multiplier), 2+ free spins, and more dynamite and bazookas.
On non-winning spins, random modifiers may be added to increase the chance of a win. Dynamite can cause fish symbols to appear if a wild is present with no fish. The hook may trigger when fish land with no wild present. It hooks a reel to potentially reveal a wild. Finally, the bazooka can activate when a wild appears with no fish, and it will change all non-wild symbols.
You’ve played the game as much as us, so you’ll know that these upgrades are a major reason why the Big Bass Splash UK slot has been so successful.
New ‘nudge’ reel mechanic
The Big Bass Splash scatter shows up on all reels, and landing three or more on a single spin will activate the free spins feature. However, if you only hit two, there’s a random chance of another being added using the classic nudge slot machine mechanic.
If the scatters can move one position without leaving the reels, then the reels not containing a scatter will respin to give you a second chance. Meanwhile, the reels with scatters will move down by one position. Alternatively, a hook may appear to pull one of the reels up and make a scatter appear.
Higher max win and volatility
Big Bass Splash has a 5,000x maximum multiplier, much higher than the 2,100x max win on Big Bass Bonanza or even the 4,000x on Big Bass Bonanza Megaways.
It also has the highest volatility rating that Pragmatic Play give – Very High – which means you’re in for a wilder ride, with more ups and downs, than most slots. That makes the game more suitable for players with bigger bankrolls and more patience!

FAQs
What is the Big Bass Splash slot RTP?
The Big Bass Splash RTP is 94.60%. You also get money back every time you play through our OJOplus reward programme.
Why is Big Bass Splash the UK’s no.1 slot?
It helps that Reel Kingdom’s Big Bass slots series was already the most popular series in the UK, so the Big Bass Splash online slot had a good head start before it was even released. But that doesn’t explain why this slot has stayed at the top of the slots charts for over 12 months after it was released. That success is down to the vastly improved free spins feature.
What is the minimum bet on Big Bass Splash?
The min bet for Big Bass Splash slot online is 10p, and the max is £50. Make sure you choose an amount you’re happy to spend, and that keeps things fun. Slots like Big Bass Splash are volatile, and there’s no guarantee you will hit a win.
