Big Bass Splash in Haz Casino, a high-volatility fishing game
Pragmatic Play's five-reel slot where wild fishermen collect money values from fish symbols during free spins, with an RTP of 96.71% and high volatility.
Big Bass Splash: a high-volatility fishing bonus game
High volatility, big payouts. Big Bass Splash is a fishing-themed slot on a five-reel, three-row grid with ten fixed paylines. Released in June 2022 by Pragmatic Play, it plays across a high-volatility engine where wins land less often but can reach much larger amounts. The base game runs straightforward spins, but the real draw is the Free Spins bonus round, where a Fisherman wild collects random cash values from fish symbols. The collected values can climb with each retrigger, pushing individual bonus rounds toward the slot's maximum win of 5000 times your bet.
Your bet size matters here. Big Bass Splash suits players comfortable with long stretches between wins and who chase larger payouts when the bonus lands. The slot scales across a wide bet range, from NZ$0.10 up to NZ$250, so both cautious stakers and high-rollers can find their level. Free Spins can be bought at this casino, letting you jump straight to the bonus if you prefer not to wait for it to trigger naturally. If you need frequent smaller wins to keep playing relaxed, this slot's high volatility works against you.
Free Spins: where the catch lives. The Free Spins bonus defines how the slot plays out. When three or more Scatter symbols land, free spins start and the Fisherman wild moves onto every reel, collecting cash values from fish symbols scattered across the game board. Each collection nudges a multiplier higher, and landing more Fishermen triggers additional spins and raises the multiplier further. The bonus can retrigger up to a maximum multiplier of 10 times, which is when the bonus round ends and all collected cash is paid out at once.

From base game to the bonus: Big Bass Splash unfolds
What triggers the bonus and how it pays out
Wild symbol collection mechanic. Wilds appear as the Fisherman across all reels and collect random money values shown on fish symbols, ranging from 2x to 5000x your total bet. Every 4th Fisherman collected adds 10 more Free Spins and raises the multiplier to level 2, then level 3, then level 4 maximum. Random events during the spins add more fish or Fishermen as needed.
Big Bass Splash base game setup. Five reels and three rows spin together with 10 fixed paylines that pay left to right from the leftmost reel. When exactly 2 Scatters land, a random respin moves the Scatter symbols down while others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another Scatter symbol.

Know what Big Bass Splash cannot tell you
Bonus timing stays unpredictable. The bonus round arrives when the game decides, not on any schedule. You might see Free Spins once every hundred spins or five times in a row. No pattern predicts the next trigger.
Don't count on RTP today. Big Bass Splash plays to its 96.71% RTP across many thousands of spins, but your session might win or lose faster. The RTP describes long-term results, not what happens in your next hour.
Treat the maximum as rare. The game can pay up to NZ$1,250,000, but that ceiling is reached once in millions of plays. Plan your stakes around what you can afford to lose, not the jackpot.
