Bigger Bass Splash
Bigger Bass Splash builds its bonus around preparation as much as collection. Before the first Free Spin, the game can assign as many as five modifiers that change symbol frequency, feature activity, starting level and spin count. Only then does the familiar fisherman begin collecting fish values, giving each bonus a different opening shape before its progressive Wild counter starts to matter. The Bigger Bass Splash slot uses 5 reels, 4 rows and 12 fixed paylines. Regular combinations pay from left to right on adjacent reels, beginning with reel one, and only the highest prize is awarded on each line. Fish are regular paying symbols in the base game, but each fish also receives a random Money value on every spin. These values are 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1666, 2500 or 5000 times the total bet and become collectable during Free Spins. The buoy is the Scatter and can appear on every reel. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters triggers 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins respectively. Two Scatters can also receive random assistance in the base game. If both can move down one position without leaving the grid, their reels may shift while the remaining reels respin. Alternatively, a hook may pull one reel upward to reveal another Scatter and complete the trigger. Before Free Spins begin, between zero and five modifiers are randomly selected. More Fish adds extra Money fish to the special reels, while More Fishermen increases the presence of Wilds. Another modifier raises the chance of hooks, dynamite and wipeout spins. Start at Level 2 skips the opening multiplier stage, and the additional spins modifier awards 2 extra Free Spins at the start as well as 2 extra spins on every later retrigger. The Fisherman Wild appears during Free Spins on all reels and substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter. Whenever a Wild lands, it collects the displayed value of every Money fish currently visible. The active level multiplier is applied to that complete collection. Several Wilds on the same result can each perform a collection, making their appearances relevant both to the immediate fish values and to progression through the bonus. Every Fisherman Wild is also recorded by a counter. Each fourth collected Wild completes the current level and schedules 10 additional Free Spins after the existing group has finished. Level 1 uses the regular collection value. The first upgrade applies a 2 times multiplier during Level 2, the second applies 3 times during Level 3 and the third applies 10 times during Level 4. Once Level 4 has been reached, the feature cannot be retriggered again. Three random reactions can improve incomplete bonus results. When Fishermen are visible without fish, dynamite may add Money fish to random positions. When fish appear without a Fisherman, a hook can pull up a random reel to bring Fisherman symbols into view. A wipeout may also occur when Fishermen are present without fish, changing every other visible symbol while leaving the Fishermen untouched. Ante Bet changes the base game from the normal 20 coin stake setting to 25 coins, which raises the total cost by 25 percent and places more Scatters on the reels. This increases the natural chance of entering Free Spins but disables both purchase options. It does not change fish values, collector multipliers or the number of spins awarded by each Scatter count. Where Bonus Buy is available, standard Free Spins cost 100 times the total bet and Super Free Spins cost 350 times. Both purchases randomly guarantee 3, 4 or 5 Scatters on the triggering spin, so the opening award can be 10, 15 or 20 spins. Standard Free Spins still receive between zero and five random modifiers. Super Free Spins begin with all five modifiers already assigned, including Level 2 progression and the additional spins enhancement. Bigger Bass Splash has high volatility, a maximum win of 5000 times the total bet and a highest published RTP setting of 96.50 percent. Lower configurations of 95.50 and 94.50 percent may also be supplied. Reaching the maximum during Free Spins ends the round immediately and cancels unused spins. The enlarged grid provides more room for the series formula, but the real distinction comes before and between the collections: modifiers shape the starting conditions, while every fourth Fisherman decides when the bonus moves into a stronger multiplier level.
