A 5x3 grid with ten fixed paylines gives Big Bass Splash its fishing and ocean theme. Wins pay from left to right, starting on the leftmost reel, and a win needs at least two matching symbols on a payline. The symbols include a red off-road 4x4 truck, a fishing reel and rod, a dragonfly, a red tackle box, and the cards A, K, Q, J and 10.
Every fourth Wild collected in Free Spins adds 10 more Free Spins and raises the collection level. Levels 2, 3 and 4 carry multipliers of x2, x3 and x10. The Wild Fisherman appears on all reels in that mode and collects money values shown on fish symbols, from 2x to 5000x the total bet. Exactly two Scatter symbols bring near-miss teasers.
100 times the bet is the price of the Free Spins buy, which comes to A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet.

Big Bass Splash in play
Useful when you are about to place your first bet and want the order of events.
Pick a stake from A$0.10 up to A$250 before the reels turn. The total bet you choose sets the money values later in the round.
Wins pay left to right, starting on the leftmost reel, and a payline needs at least two matching symbols. Every fixed payline is checked on each spin.
When exactly 2 Scatter symbols land, either the Scatter reels drop one position while the others respin, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another Scatter.
Once Free Spins begin, Fisherman WILD appears on every reel and collects money values from fish symbols, each a multiple of the total bet.
Decide your budget before the first spin, then stop when it runs out. Support is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Two modes to know
Stake Casino explains each mode by its exact rules, so you know the steps first.
At the start, the WILD fisherman appears on all reels and collects the random MONEY values, 2x-5000x the total bet, shown on fish symbols. Every 4th WILD collected retriggers +10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier: level 2 is x2, level 3 is x3, level 4 is x10.
Base game roundMultiplied fish cash
The 5 reels x 3 rows grid has 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel. When exactly 2 SCATTER land, a random respin-down moves scatter reels one position down while others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal a SCATTER.

Practice play

The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Stake Casino account and players aged 18+.
Play for real10 fixed paylines on a 5x3 grid say nothing about when Free Spins will start. How often Free Spins come is not known in advance, and the RTP does not tell you when they land. The result of one session is random, so the RTP describes the average over a very long run, not the night you play.
Three rows per reel tell you nothing about the RTP. The RTP version running in this game is shown only in the game rules, and a title with a similar name can run another one. Read the rules for the exact title before you open it, not the name on the lobby tile.
x5,000 the bet caps Big Bass Splash, and very few sessions come near it. Hitting the cap depends on luck, and nothing on the screen tells you when the rounds that pay it will come. Treat the maximum win as a limit on the game, not a forecast of your result.
18+ only. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register for self-exclusion with BetStop.
A$10 is the top example bet here, and a session budget set before the first spin keeps losses to a number you chose in advance.
96.71 is a long-run figure, not a result for one session. Decide when to stop before the first spin, and keep that point after a win.
A$0.10 bets add up, so set deposit and loss limits in your account before you start playing.
10 fixed paylines on a 5x3 grid keep the screen busy, so pause when the game stops being fun, and use BetStop if pauses do not help.
Ready to spin
After reading, you will have checked the bets, volatility, bonus cost and free spin triggers.
A$1,000 buys the Free Spins round at the A$10 example bet, a cost of 100 times the bet. The price scales with the bet, so the buy cost changes whenever the bet changes.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$250 the highest bet allowed here. The example bets on this page are A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$10, and the paytable uses A$0.40.
x5,000 is the maximum win in bet multiples, which pays A$50,000 at the A$10 example bet. Volatility is high, so the game pays in uneven bursts, and the x5,000 figure is a ceiling, not an expectation.
2 SCATTER symbols, exactly 2, trigger the base game teasers: scatter reels move one position down, or a hook reveals another SCATTER. Free Spins come from SCATTER symbols, and when they start cannot be known in advance.
96.71 is the RTP of this version. Big Bass Splash 1000 is the sibling with the higher ceiling, x25,000 against x5,000 here, while Big Bass Blast, Big Bass Football Bonanza, Big Bass Trophy Catch and Big Bass Raceday Repeat keep x5,000.
