Choose this game if you like fishing and ocean themes. Big Bass Splash runs on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. Wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right, and two matching symbols in a row from that reel are enough to pay. The symbols include a red off-road 4x4 truck, fishing reel & rod, dragonfly, red tackle box, and cards A, K, Q, J and 10.
Pick this title for cash that builds in free spins. Fisherman Wilds on every reel collect the money values shown on fish symbols. Every fourth Wild collected adds 10 free spins and raises the collection multiplier: x2, then x3, then x10 at level 4. Random events such as dynamite spin and hook can add fish or fishermen mid-round.
Four screens
Open this when you want to recognise each phase of a round on sight.
The feature is priced at 100x your bet, so a A$5 stake puts the ticket at A$500; the price moves with the stake you have set in the panel.

Big Bass Splash basics
You will know what each spin does, and when the fishing round can begin.
Pick a stake from A$0.10 up to A$250 before the reels turn. That stake is your bet on every payline each spin, and the same ten lines pay whatever you set.
Land three or more matching symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel, and the round pays. A two-symbol teaser on the first reel pays nothing on its own.
Wilds stand in for other symbols to complete lines, and exactly two scatters can trigger a teaser: a respin down or a hook that lifts a reel to reveal a third.
Three or more scatter symbols start Free Spins, where fisherman wilds collect the money values on fish. Four wilds gathered inside the round add ten more spins.
Set a deposit or loss limit before the reels turn, because volatility here is high and long dry spells are normal. Stop at the limit rather than chasing a bonus round.
Two modes
Read this when the free spins are about to start, or before you change the bet.
Watch the fish, since WILD (Fisherman) appears on all reels and collects the random MONEY values (2x-5000x total bet) shown on fish symbols. Every 4th WILD collected retriggers +10 Free Spins and raises the multiplier to x2, x3 and x10 at levels 2, 3 and 4, the maximum.
Base gameCollected fish money
Pick your bet and play the 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, where wins pay left to right. With exactly 2 SCATTER landed, a random respin-down moves the scatter reels one position down while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another SCATTER.
Before any spinLeft-to-right wins
Big Bass Splash, two ways
Read this while you decide whether to spin for free or open an account first.
Practice play needs no money and returns nothing, so treat it as a look at the reels. Playing for real requires an account here and being 18 or over.
Start playingDecide your budget before the first spin, because nobody knows in advance how often the bonus round will land. The RTP describes the return over a very large number of rounds, not the result of one session. A session can end with a win well above the bet or with the whole balance gone. Two players with the same bet can finish with completely different results.
Check which RTP version Pub Casino runs before you place your first bet. That version is shown in the game rules, not in the game name. The same series includes titles with other RTP figures, so the name alone does not tell you which return applies.
Build no budget around the maximum win. Big Bass Splash pays up to a fixed multiple of the bet, so the amount you can win grows with the stake. That ceiling is reached very rarely, and nobody can count on it.
Before you choose
Worried that a game you have not tried will feel unfamiliar before the first spin.
Clear facts first
Short answers on the bonus, bets, win limit and demo, before your first spin.
Yes, the Free Spins feature can be bought for 100 times the bet. At the A$5 example bet that costs A$500, and the price moves with your stake. Decide before you buy whether that cost fits your budget.
The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet. At the A$1 paytable bet that is A$5,000, and at the A$250 highest bet it reaches A$1,250,000. Plan around the multiple, because the money figure depends on the stake you choose.
Bets run from A$0.10 to A$250 per spin. The examples on this page use A$1 and A$5, which are only reference points. Pick a stake that leaves room for the rounds you want to play.
Watch for Scatter symbols in the base game, because the Free Spins start from there. When exactly 2 Scatter land, a near-miss teaser follows. Either the scatter reels move one position down and the others respin, or a hook lifts a reel to reveal another Scatter.
Start with the paytable, which is set at A$1 per spin. Read what each symbol pays before you raise your stake. Big Bass Splash sits in the Pub Casino game lobby, so you can open it from there.
Players must be 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget before you start Big Bass Splash, and keep to it even after a promising round.
Choose your stopping point before the first spin, and keep it after a win too. A win on the screen is no reason to raise the stake.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play, and lower them if you find yourself chasing losses.
Take a break or self-exclude as soon as the game stops being fun, and do not return to the reels to win back what you lost.
