Slot Overview: Bigger Bass Splash by Pragmatic Play

Bigger Bass Splash is a colourful entry to Pragmatic Play’s vast slot library, and I was drawn to it as soon as I saw how vibrant everything looked.

This review goes deep into what the gameplay offers, what type of features it has, how it feels to play for new and2 experienced slot players.

I pay for a good gameplay and slot design and Pragmatic Play is known for its slot (which seems doubtful because of course nobody else has an opinion) but you brought a longtime player as me to play lower leagues.

I want to do my best to offer some perspective in as objective of a review as possible, and while I may have not liked everything about the game, I want you to see what I saw and then make the call if Bigger Bass Splash is worth your time or not.

Bigger Bass Splash Details, RTP, Payout & Volatility

The numbers behind the action As with any slots experience, the magic is in the math.

Bigger Bass Splash RTP The return to player (RTP) is 96.50%, which is around the usual mark for an online slot. But this RTP is an average calculated over millions of spins, and any one session can differ significantly.

Volatility of the game is high which means that wins will not come up as often, however, it is bound to be big. I had dry spells in my testing, and then big wins to match, so I can attest to the volatility here. You can win up to 5,000 times your stake, so this high maximum win of course attracts a lot of players that want to win a fortune.

Betting options To accommodate all types of players, the wagering range stretches from a conservative 0.10 to a liberal 300.

Structure In Bigger Bass Splash players will find a 5 reel format and an All Ways Pays system where wins are achieved for matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right, rather than on specific paylines, and created tonnes of winning possibilities. With the All Ways Pays feature instead of paylines means that you have a whole load more opportunities to win with almost every new spin.

Theme, Audio & Symbols

The game's theme is fishing, presented with vibrant, cartoony graphics.

The graphics are clear, sharp, and colourful, featuring symbols of angling, from rods to tackle boxes and various fish.

Design-wise, it's typical Pragmatic Play, with a colourful, upbeat scheme.

The sign design is detailed, and the audio supports the theme with cheerful music and immersive sound effects.

Reel spins, fish splashes, and happy jingles enhance the excitement.

The audio is engaging, not repetitive or distracting, suitable for extended play.

The look and feel are slick and professionally presented, as expected from Pragmatic Play.

The fisherman catching fish features well-done, pleasing animations.

Bonus Features

Bigger Bass Splash's bonus options are truly what makes this game shine. There aren't quite as many features in this game as we have come to expect in more recent online slots and the secret to unlocking the game's full potential is the free spins feature which is activated when players manage to land three or more of the scatter (the leaping bass) anywhere on the reels.

A modifier selection round will occur before the start of the free spins. In this feature, players receive from one to ten modifiers that improve the free spins. These can be extra free spins, guaranteed fish symbols on the reels, additional fisherman wilds and the opportunity to move the multiplier meter.

In my playtests, I enjoyed the modifier pick round – I like it when games add an element of excitement and big win potential – and that’s what Apocalypse Quest does. Key to the game is the fisherman wild symbol that collects the values on the fish symbols on the same spin it appears during the free spins feature.

The fisherman wild also contributes towards a meter above the reels. On average, the fisherman wild will retrigger the free games every fourth spin and will increase the wild multiplier on fisherman collected fish values. Multiplier goes all the way up to x10, with the promise of big wins.

I did notice that you need the retriggering of the free spins with this game to really collect the big wins, as it's how the multiplier grows over the run.

The Buy Bonus gives you the ability to buy your way into the free spins for 100x your bet. As tempting as this can be, remember the result is random and there is no guarantee of a profit.

The Ante Bet can be used to increase your bet a little, which then increases your odds of activating the free spins feature. That’s a risk versus reward, suddenly your punt per spin costs a little bit more, but you get the potential for more bonus features.

Mobile Experience

As always, Pragmatic Play tends to the top concern on most player’s lists these days: Bigger Bass Splash is fully mobile-compatible too.

The game has been optimized for mobile play on both smart phones and tablets, and is designed to play flipping well across the range of screen sizes and devices.

The VT is both user-friendly and intuitive, while providing a seamless gaming experience on-the-go.

I experienced none of this, during testing on iOS and Android.

The graphics and motions still looked crisp and detailed, even on smaller displays.

The user interface is clean and simple to find the necessary options and features in the game.

Whether you are playing on a the newest high-end phone or a more modest device, this game runs great and looks amazing on both high-end devices and older tablets and phones.

I especially liked playing in portrait mode as the reels are large and the buttons are right there for me!

Pros & Cons

BBS Congers some really good points here.

That high volatility is what has the potential of big wins, and many players are drawn to that. The free spins feature is fun to play thanks to the modifier you get to choose combined with the rising multiplier and ever more chances to win big.

The game is very well executed in terms of theme and aesthetics, and they add a good deal to immersion. The mobile performance is great, and you can play across multiple devices without a hiccup.

The All Ways Pays means lots of little wins so at least your bankroll lasts a little longer.

But there are also drawbacks to keep in mind. The large amount of variance means you will lose money (it’s not suitable for the small player or people who like little wins).

The Buy Bonus is a convenient feature but an expensive one and it can never guarantee a profit.

Some players are not comfortable with the game's theme, which, although well-executed, may not be for everyone. And the fact that it’s so similar to some of Pragmatic Plays other Bass themed slots could be though of as unoriginal by some players.

Our Verdict

Overall Bigger Bass Splash is a fun game that is well executed and is sure to find its niche among players who love high volatility gambling with the chance to win big despite the risk.

The free spins feature round is where the game really shines with the potential for lots of big wins thanks to the wild modifier choice and the up to infinity increasing multiplier.

The theme and graphics of the game are spot on, and it is also mobile optimised.

The higher level of variance will not appeal to everyone, but at this high variance the ビッガーバススプラッシュ (Bigger Bass Splash) slot, is a very rewarding and entertaining game for those people who are willing to take the risk.

With its fun features, excellent graphics and potential for huge wins, it’s a welcome addition to what's already a great selection from Pragmatic Play.

Advanced slot enthusiasts who are also looking for a high volatility game which can deliver huge wins should definitely check out the Bigger Bass Splash.
