Bigger Bass Splash at Vulkanvegas Casino: review and how to play
Pragmatic Play's 5 reels x 4 rows fishing game where Wild symbols collect money values during free spins with multipliers up to 10x. RTP 96.50%, high volatility.
What kind of game is Bigger Bass Splash?
Ocean-themed grid with money fish. Bigger Bass Splash is a 5-reel, 4-row fishing game from Pragmatic Play released in February 2025. Fish symbols land with random money values each spin across 12 paylines. The Ante Bet feature boosts scatter frequency by 15x for a 1.5x bet multiplier. High volatility means wins arrive less often but can be much bigger. You can buy into Free Spins or Super Free Spins directly from the left panel.
Who enjoys this game most. This slot suits players who chase larger payouts and can handle dry spells between wins. The high volatility and maximum win of 5,000x your bet reward patience. Bets start at NZ$0.10 and reach NZ$300, so both modest and bold stakers find a stake that fits. Players preferring steady small wins may find the gaps between payouts frustrating.
Wilds that collect and multiply. The Free Spins round defines how Bigger Bass Splash plays. Land 3 or more scatters to trigger 10, 15 or 20 spins. During the round, each landing fisherman (wild) collects all money values visible on screen and multiplies them by the current level (1x, 2x, 3x or 10x). Every fourth wild collected adds 10 more spins and climbs the multiplier, so collected values snowball across the entire bonus.

Bigger Bass Splash: one round from bet to payout
What you do at each point from choosing your stake to setting limits
Base game to bonus: the complete path
From scatter trigger to bonus spins. Three or more scatter symbols launch your bonus round. Land 3 scatters for 10 spins, 4 for 15 spins, or 5 for 20 spins. Your wild (the fisherman) collects all money values from fish symbols on screen each spin. Every fourth wild collected adds 10 extra spins and increases your multiplier level.
Super Free Spins: the paid path. Buy into the premium free spins variant for NZ$700 at your example bet. All five pre-round modifiers are active from the start: more fish, more fisherman, more hooks and dynamite events, an early multiplier boost, and two bonus spins added. You start with 12 spins using the same wild collect mechanic.
Bigger Bass Splash base mechanics. Your base game runs across 5 reels and 4 rows with 12 fixed paylines reading left to right. Fish symbols carry random money values that change each spin. Toggle Ante Bet on to multiply your stake by 1.5x and increase how often scatters land. You can buy Free Spins or Super Free Spins from the left panel.
Bigger Bass Splash wild multiplier. During free spins, each wild that lands instantly collects all visible money values from fish symbols on screen. Those collected amounts stack throughout your entire bonus round and multiply by your current level (1x, 2x, 3x, or 10x). Random events with hooks and dynamite ensure fish and fisherman symbols appear together.
Free spins direct purchase

What can't you know about Bigger Bass Splash in advance?
Scatter timing stays random. The scatter triggers the free spins round, but when it lands is random. You cannot predict which spin will bring three or more scatters, so bonus rounds come as surprises, not patterns.
What RTP does and doesn't guarantee. Your session result depends on the spins that land during your play. The RTP of 96.50% describes average returns across millions of spins; your own session could go either way.
Why maximum wins stay rare. The maximum win of NZ$1,500,000 is a ceiling almost never reached. Most sessions end well short of that figure, and many end in a loss.
Other fishing games you can play from the same creator
The five games range from 96.50% to 96.52% RTP, with maximum wins between 5,000x and 25,000x your bet.

Know when to stop playing
Set your loss limit first. Decide how much you can afford to lose before your first spin. Once that amount is gone, your session ends, regardless of how the reels have landed.
Bigger Bass Splash wins mean quit time. Choose a stopping point before you play—and stick to it even after a big win. A win is not a signal to keep spinning.
Account tools protect your balance. Use your account's deposit limits and loss limits to control spending across all games. Session reminders help you notice how long you have been playing.
Cooling off and recovery. If the game stops being fun or you feel out of control, pause your account or self-exclude. Help is available from the Gambling Helpline New Zealand and the Problem Gambling Foundation.
