5x3 video slot with 10 fixed paylines, set on a fishing and ocean theme. Wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right, and two matching symbols are enough for a win. The symbols are the cards A, K, Q, J and 10, plus a red off-road 4x4 truck, a fishing reel and rod, a dragonfly and a red tackle box.
Every 4th Wild collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier. Free Spins put the Fisherman Wild on all reels, and the fish symbols carry random money values that the Wild collects. The multiplier climbs to x2, x3 and x10, and level 4 is the last one. Random events during the round include dynamite spins, hooks and bazooka.
First Spin
Primaplay lays each round out plainly, so nothing on the reels arrives as a surprise.
Stakes run from A$0.10 up to A$250; at A$0.20 a screen of ten symbols returns the smallest wins, at A$2 a full line of trucks pays A$500. Ten paylines stay fixed, whatever you stake.
Land three or more matching symbols on one of the ten paylines, running left to right from reel one, and the win is paid straight away. Two matching symbols can be enough on the four picture symbols.
Wild fishermen step in for any paying symbol, and two scatters landing together can see the reels drop a row or a hook haul one up, hunting the third. Neither tease changes the stake.
Three, four or five scatters award ten, fifteen or twenty free spins. During them the fisherman wild collects the money values on fish symbols, and every fourth fisherman adds ten more spins.
Two hundred pulls at A$0.40 is A$80 spent, and the balance moves either way. Fix that ceiling before the first spin, and the round ends when you choose, not when the reels do.
The round, opened up
By the end you will know how a round runs and how the fishing round triggers.
Three SCATTER symbols anywhere on the reels open the Free Spins round with 10 spins. During it the WILD Fisherman collects the random MONEY values shown on fish, worth 2x to 5000x total bet. Each 4th WILD collected adds 10 spins and lifts the collection multiplier to x2, then x3, then x10, capping at level 4.
Base reelsCollecting fisherman
Ten fixed paylines pay left-to-right from the leftmost reel, and the win is the highest line total. A grid with just 2 SCATTER can still turn: the scatter reels may drop one position while the others respin, or a hook can pull a reel up to reveal the third SCATTER and start the round.

Three Screens
Screens settle the usual worry first: what the reels actually show when a round is running.
Two ways to start
You will know which version costs nothing and which one needs a Primaplay Casino account and a legal age.
A$0.00 leaves your balance in the demo: the reels spin, the fisherman collects and nothing pays out. Real stakes need an account here and proof you are 18 or over.
PlayThe 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines gives no clue about timing. How often the Free Spins come is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the 96.71 RTP says. Nothing on this page predicts when the next round will pay.
96.71 is the single RTP version this page lists for Big Bass Splash. Which version runs in a given game is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play. Read them before the first spin, not after a loss.
x5,000 is the maximum win of Big Bass Splash, counted as a multiple of the bet. It is a ceiling that players reach very rarely, and no session can be planned around it. The money amount depends on the bet you choose.
Four questions
Useful before you load the game, while the bet size and budget are still open to change.
96.71 is the RTP of Big Bass Splash per A$100 staked. Its series versions run from 96.50 to 96.52, and Big Bass Splash 1000 carries the highest maximum win at x25,000.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet on Big Bass Splash, so the first spins can test the rules at the smallest stake. The paytable is set out for the A$0.20 bet, so each symbol's pay can be read before a larger stake.
100 times the bet is the price of the Free Spins buy in Big Bass Splash. At the A$2 bet, that is A$200. The buy is listed for Free Spins only, and its cost is set before the round starts.
Free spins are started by Scatter symbols in the base game. When exactly 2 Scatters land, a near-miss teaser follows: either the scatter reels drop one position while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another Scatter.
