Five reels with three rows each form a 5x3 grid in a fishing and ocean setting. Ten fixed paylines run from the leftmost reel toward the right, and a win forms when matching symbols land in a row along one of them. Two matching symbols are the fewest that pay, so short runs count as wins. Special rounds run on the same reels but follow their own rules.
Fisherman wilds appear on all reels in free spins, and each one collects the money value shown on a fish. Every fourth collected wild adds ten free spins and lifts the multiplier up to level four. Dynamite and hook events can add symbols mid-round. On the base game, two scatters can trigger a near miss, shown through a respin or a hook.
Two rule sets
Not sure how the free spins differ from the base game? Both modes are set out below.
In Free Spins, Fisherman WILD symbols appear on all reels and collect random MONEY values of 2x-5000x the total bet from fish symbols. Every 4th collected WILD adds 10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier: level 2 is x2, level 3 is x3, level 4 is x10.
Base game spinsFish money prizes
The Base Game runs on 5 reels x 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines. When exactly 2 SCATTER symbols land, a near miss teaser follows: scatter reels move one position down while others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to show another SCATTER.
Placing a bet10-payline wins
On the reels, the bonus costs a multiple of the bet: 100 times the stake, or A$1,000 at the top example bet of A$10.
| Paid extra | Cost | RTP |

| Free Spins for A$1,000 | x100 · A$1,000 | – |
Over a long run, the reels return a share of every amount staked. The return to player is counted per A$100 staked, and the version in use is shown in the game rules.

How to play
After reading, you will have followed one full round from bet to session limit.
The reels stay still until you pick a bet between A$0.10 and A$250. Every spin uses that bet, so every payout scales with it.
Matching symbols on the 5x3 grid pay from the leftmost reel to the right, across 10 fixed paylines. Two matching symbols in a row are enough to pay.
Two Scatter symbols landing can start a near-miss teaser. At random, Scatter reels move one position down while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to show another Scatter.
Once the free spins begin, Fisherman WILD symbols appear on all reels. Each one collects a random money value from fish symbols, from 2x to 5,000x the total bet.
Reels keep turning while you play, so set your limit before the first spin. Set the amount you can lose and the time you will stop, and keep to both.
Big Bass Splash
Winbig21 shows each screen with the game's own labels, so you know what you see.
Free Spins begin when Scatter symbols land on the reels, and no player can know in advance when that will happen. A session may end with no bonus round, or it may hold more than one. The RTP describes the return over a long run of play. It does not predict one session, so the result of any single visit stays random whatever the RTP.
Every spin settles under one RTP version. Which version is in use here appears only in the game rules. Players who want that detail should open the game rules before the first spin, and compare the version named there with the RTP table on this page.
Combinations on the reels can reach the top ceiling of the game, but that ceiling is reached very rarely. The maximum win is a multiple of the bet, so the money amount grows with the stake. Hitting it is not an expectation for any session, and no session is built around reaching it.
Practise before staking
Here you settle whether to test the reels first or move straight to real bets.
Each demo spin runs without money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account at Winbig21 Casino and players aged 18+.
Start playingBig Bass Splash basics
Useful when you still need the bets, the bonus cost and the top prize.
Each spin in Big Bass Splash can be placed from A$0.10 up to A$250. The example bets on this page, A$0.50, A$5 and A$10, are only reference points, not limits.
Free Spins can be bought in Big Bass Splash. At the example top bet of A$10, the purchase costs A$1,000, which is 100 times the bet. A lower stake therefore brings the price down too.
Free Spins runs as its own mode. Fisherman WILD appears on every reel and collects MONEY values shown on fish symbols, each worth 2x to 5000x the total bet. Every fourth WILD collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the collection multiplier, reaching x10 at level 4.
Start with the paytable, which shows what each symbol pays at the A$0.50 bet. The 5x3 grid has 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay from the leftmost reel to the right. Learn those rules before you raise the stake.
The maximum win is x5,000 times the bet. On the example top bet of A$10 that comes to A$50,000, and on the highest bet of A$250 it is A$1,250,000. How often a win that size lands cannot be known in advance.
Players must be 18+ to play this slot. Support is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set the amount you can afford to lose before you start, and stop when that sum is gone.
Choose your stopping point before you play, and keep it after a big win as well as after a run of losses.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you start, and treat a limit you reach as the end of the session.
When the game stops being fun, pause and step back from the reels. If you keep returning to it anyway, self-exclusion is the next step.
