Four entries, one 96.51-to-96.53 return band

At 25,000x the round stops where it stands: the win is paid and every remaining free spin is forfeited. The same logic runs through the decisions on offer: they move price and access, not return. Turn on Ante Bet and the stake doubles, more Scatter symbols sit on the reels, Buy Free Spins is disabled, and the published figure shifts from 96.52% to 96.53%. Pay 100x for Free Spins or 450x for Super Free Spins and it reads 96.53% or 96.51%. Four ways in, one two-hundredths band. Most of the Big Bass family posts lower, which is what above the line looks like, and High volatility means it buys nothing on a given evening: testing returned $150 on a $200 buy and $4,360.80 on a $900 one. A long-run average settles over more sessions than that.

Base game, free spins and more

Every route here leads to the Free Spins round: Scatter symbols on the base grid trigger it, the Ante Bet raises the odds of that trigger, the buy panels skip the wait, and only inside the round does the Wild collect Money fish values.

Base Game

The 5x3 reel set holds 10 fixed Lines and pays left to right from the leftmost reel under High volatility at 96.52% RTP. The Wild stays off these reels; the Scatter appears on all of them, and three or more hand the round to Free Spins.

Free Spins

Three, four or five Scatters award 10, 15 or 20 spins; the Wild lands on all reels here and collects every visible Money fish value. Each fourth collected Wild adds 10 more spins (12 with the +2 SPINS modifier) and lifts the multiplier through 2x, 3x and 10x.

Super Free Spins

This round enters only through the buy panel at 450x bet and plays by the same Wild-collection and retrigger rules as Free Spins, with one change: the 1000x-bet Money fish turns up more often.

Ante Bet (Higher Chance to Win Feature)

A sidebar toggle in the base game swaps the bet multiplier from 10x to 20x: more Scatters sit on the reels, so Free Spins arrives on its own more often, and the Buy Free Spins panel switches off. RTP runs at 96.53% in this mode.

Launching the game and placing a bet

Each Wild in Free Spins collects every MONEY value on screen; every 4th Wild collected retriggers more spins and steps the Progressive Multiplier toward the 25,000x cap. Big Bass Splash 1000 is a Lines slot from Pragmatic Play with 10 paylines and High volatility. Set a stake, spin the reels, and land 3 or more Scatter symbols to start the feature.

Set the stake and spin

Set TOTAL BET in the bet menu or with the round - and + controls beside SPIN, then press SPIN to set the reels moving. SPACE and ENTER also start a spin; holding SPACE runs Turbo Spin.
Trigger Free Spins

Keep the reels spinning; 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols landing anywhere award 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins. Or press BUY FREE SPINS or BUY SUPER FREE SPINS and confirm with the green check to start the feature directly.
Collect with the Wild in Free Spins

During Free Spins the Wild appears on all reels and collects every MONEY symbol on screen. Every 4th Wild collected retriggers 10 more spins and raises the Progressive Multiplier through x2 and x3 up to x10. The round ends on the win screen; press anywhere to return to the base game.

How volatility shapes your session

Turning on Ante Bet locks out the cheaper buy panel, the stake scales every money fish, and the 450x buy reweights them toward the 1000x catch. These and the buy-or-spin choice are settled before Free Spins begins; each moves price, access or the fish mix, not the odds inside the round.

The stake scales every cash value, not the odds

Every money fish pays a multiple of the total bet, from 2x to 1000x, and both buys are fixed multiples of it, so moving the stake between $0.10 and $500 raises or lowers the cash value of every collection and purchase price in step. The 25,000x cap is still 25,000x and the reel odds do not move; only the cash at risk changes.

Ante Bet costs the buy panel and doubles the spin price

The Ante Bet widget sits on the base-game sidebar: switching it on doubles each spin's price in exchange for more Scatters and a 96.53% RTP, but the Buy Free Spins panel switches off, so a planned 100x purchase requires leaving the toggle off. How much the natural trigger odds improve is not stated, and the toggle was not tested live.

The 450x buy reweights the fish toward 1000x

Buy Free Spins charges 100x and Buy Super Free Spins charges 450x, and the two rounds run on the same Wild-collection and retrigger rules. The documented difference is the fish mix: Super raises the chance of the 1000x money fish, at 96.51% RTP against 96.53% for the standard buy. No hit frequency is published.

Buy now at a fixed price or wait on the reels

Pressing either buy panel starts the feature at once for its fixed price; waiting for 3 or more Scatters costs only the normal spin but resolves on the reels' own schedule. Only the natural path can receive the two-Scatter rescue that randomly drags a third Scatter into view. No verified spin count predicts the wait.

Our take

RTP of 96.51-96.53% across all modes means no entry route quietly taxes the return.
Wild collections climb to a 10x multiplier while the 1000x money fish keeps the 25,000x cap live.
The ante bet doubles stake for a cheaper ongoing route to features than any upfront buy.
Nothing sits between the 100x buy and the 450x Super buy, leaving no mid-priced feature entry.
The tested 100x buy returned $150 of its $200 price, a loss that shows what one session can do.

At 96.52%, this build sits just above the ordinary band, and neither buy moves that figure, so the 450x price buys variance rather than return. High volatility concentrates payout in features, so the RTP is a long-run average one lean session can undershoot. It suits a reader who treats the number as orientation, not a promise for the evening.
