Big Bass Splash review

Big Bass Splash takes fans of the Big Bass franchise on a new fishing adventure.

In the fresh country air, players will set out on the water in search of a hearty catch. As players cast their lines, they’ll meet dragonflies and plenty of fish.

Players who are dreaming of a relaxing afternoon out on the water will particularly enjoy this slot.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Big Bass Splash's upbeat soundtrack is filled with twanging banjo notes that add to the countryside feel of Big Bass Splash. The ambient calls of seagulls are pleasant, but feel less suited to this slot than some of the ocean-based Big Bass slots.

Behind the reels, players will see a beautifully animated underwater scene. Colorful plants sway in the current and shadowy fish dart by on occasion.

Among the symbols, players will find the iconic Big Bass illustrated in green with a sunset backdrop. A variety of other fish as well as plenty of fishing tackle also make an appearance.

A friendly bearded fisherman serves as the host of this slot, wearing a large hat and proudly presenting a large fish. His smiling face adds a welcoming feel to Big Bass Splash.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation of Big Bass Splash create a cheerful fishing holiday atmosphere.

Gameplay

Big Bass Splash is a five-reel, three-row slot, with 10 win lines.

The maximum win is 5,000x the player’s total bet.

Players can buy directly into the Free Spins feature for 100x their current total bet. This will prompt 3, 4, or 5 Scatters to land on the reels at random.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols with the exception of the Scatter symbol. During the Free Spins feature, the Wild symbol appears on all reels.

Paying Fish symbols function as Money symbols, taking on a randomly assigned value during each spin. These values range from 2x to 5,000x and can be won during the Free Spins feature.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when players land at least 3 Scatter symbols. The number of free spins awarded depends on how many Scatters trigger the feature:

• 3 Scatters = 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters = 15 free spins
• 5 Scatters = 20 free spins

If players land 2 Scatters rather than 3, there is a chance for an additional Scatter to be added to the reels through a random feature.

Prior to the start of the Free Spins feature, 0-5 modifiers are chosen at random to apply to the round. This might be more Fish or Fisherman symbols appearing on the reels, an upgrade to Level 2, or 2+ additional free spins.

Throughout the Free Spins feature every Wild symbol collects the values of Money symbols on the reels. Each Wild is saved until the conclusion of the feature.

The Free Spins feature is retriggered for every 4th Wild that players collect. Each retrigger awards 10 additional free spins and increases the Money symbol multiplier. After the fourth retrigger, the Free Spins feature can no longer be retriggered.

When there are Fisherman symbols on screen, but no Fish symbols, Money symbols may appear at random. This may also occur when there are Fish symbols, but no Fisherman symbols.

Also at random when there are Fisherman symbols but no Fish symbols, a Bazooka can appear to transform all symbols on the reels except for the Fisherman.
