Online slots don’t get much more self-referential than this. Bigger Bass Splash by Reel Kingdom brings together two of the Big Bass franchise’s most popular releases into a single game. It’s essentially the fifth installment packed into the Bigger Bass layout, complete with free spins, random modifiers and a progressive fisherman meter. The real question isn’t what it is, it’s whether combining two hits actually makes for something greater.
If you’ve seen one Big Bass slot, you already know the aesthetic: underwater scene, big blue backdrop, and our ever-present, grinning fisherman in shades. Bigger Bass Splash sticks closely to that same design formula, leaning on the series’ consistency. The animation is polished, but nothing feels particularly new, just the same fishing vibe with familiar faces and props.
The paytable in Bigger Bass Splash lines up with the rest of the series: low-paying symbols are card ranks, and high-paying symbols are all themed fishing items. Here’s the full list of standard payouts:
Symbol | Payout for 3, 4, and 5 of a kind |
10 | 0.40x, 2x, 10x |
J | 0.40x, 2x, 10x |
Q | 0.40x, 2x, 10x |
K | 0.40x, 2x, 10x |
A | 0.40x, 2x, 10x |
Fish Money | - |
Float | 4x, 20x, 100x |
Tackle Box | 4x, 20x, 100x |
Dragonfly | 4x, 20x, 100x |
Fishing Rod | 6x, 40x, 200x |
Boat | 10x, 40x, 400x |
Three or more Scatters land you into the Free Spins bonus, with 10, 15, or 20 spins depending on how many triggering symbols you potentially hit. If you only manage two Scatters, you might still catch a break, the game can randomly add a third symbol with a hook or bazooka animation. If you get in, a random number of modifiers (up to five) are awarded, drawn before spins begin.
Modifiers shape how the Free Spins play out. You could get More Fish, More Fishermen, or even start at Level 2, where potential wins already carry a 2x multiplier. There’s also a modifier that grants +2 starting spins and retriggers, and another that boosts the odds of dynamite, hook, and bazooka animations triggering.
During Free Spins, every fourth fisherman collected can upgrade the feature. Each milestone brings another batch of spins and a win multiplier: 2x, 3x, and finally 10x. With the right modifiers, it’s possible to extend the feature longer and potentially unlock all multiplier tiers, though that rarely comes easy.
On any Free Spin, you might get one of the following boosts:
Bigger Bass Splash is played on a 5x4 grid with 12 paylines. Wins are calculated from left to right on adjacent reels, requiring at least three matching symbols, except for the boat, which pays with just two. The slot doesn’t use cascading wins or cluster pays, and there’s no Megaways system either. What you get is a straight-up reel slot with standard paylines and bonus features layered in.

Bigger Bass Splash is more of a remix than a reinvention. It combines what worked in two earlier titles and sticks to that blueprint. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s familiar, and the modifiers still bring moments of unpredictability. The only real downside is that it doesn’t break new ground. Fans of the series will feel right at home, but if you were expecting evolution, you might be left wanting.
