Big Bass Splash is the entry in the fishing franchise most worth your time, and the reason is not the one the marketing leads with.
Yes, the ceiling more than doubles — from Big Bass Bonanza’s 2,100x to 5,000x — and it does so at the identical 96.71% RTP, which is unusual and welcome. But the change that actually improves your sessions is smaller and cleverer: the two-scatter rescue.

The Two-Scatter Rescue
Every slot player knows the feeling of landing two scatters when you need three. On most games that is simply a loss with extra theatre.
On Big Bass Splash, two scatters can trigger a random rescue feature that brings a third scatter onto the reels — either by respinning a reel or by hooking one in. Not every time. But often enough that the near-miss stops being pure salt in the wound.
It is a small mechanic and a genuinely good one, because it targets the exact moment a session turns sour. This, more than the bigger ceiling, is why Splash is the better game.
Everything Else Is the Round You Already Know
The bonus is the same fisherman-collection round that made the franchise, and it is unchanged.
Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Money fish carry visible cash values; the fisherman wild collects the value of every fish on screen when he lands. And the ladder runs the same way:
| Fishermen collected | Reward |
|---|---|
| 4 | +10 spins, 2x multiplier |
| 8 | +10 spins, 3x multiplier |
| 12 | +10 spins, 10x multiplier |
As in the original, the multiplier applies to money-symbol wins, not to standard line wins. A 10x on the board does nothing for your paylines.
| Feature | Detail |

Splash or Bonanza?
| Big Bass Bonanza | Big Bass Splash | |
|---|---|---|
| RTP | 96.71% | 96.71% |
| Max win | 2,100x | 5,000x |
| Two-scatter rescue | No | Yes |
| Multiplier ladder | 2x / 3x / 10x | 2x / 3x / 10x |
| Released | 2020 | 2022 |
Same RTP, more than double the ceiling, and a mechanic that rescues your near-misses. There is no meaningful case for the original over Splash except nostalgia — which is a real reason, just not a mathematical one.
The wider point worth carrying into the rest of this franchise: Pragmatic has since released Big Bass games by the dozen — Megaways versions, seasonal versions, Hold-and-Spinner versions. Most of them are the same collection round with different art and a different ceiling. Check the RTP and the max win before you assume a newer one is better.
