The 1000 edition of Big Bass Splash, and the numbers moved a long way. 96.52%, high volatility, and a 25,000× ceiling — five times the 5,000× of the original Splash and the highest cap anywhere in the Big Bass family.
The mechanic is unchanged: fisherman wilds collect money symbols during free spins, every fourth wild adds ten spins and lifts the multiplier. What is new is the money symbols now reach 1,000× the total bet, and the round opens with up to five random modifiers drawn before you spin.

Play the Big Bass Splash 1000 demo free
The demo below runs the full game on play credits, modifiers and both buy options included. With a 13.64% hit frequency this is a game where a free session genuinely tells you something — roughly seven spins in eight return nothing, and that is worth feeling before you pay for it. This demo is part of our free Pragmatic Play slots.
Big Bass Splash 1000 slot at a glance
More on the figures above. Figures from the game’s own information screen, cross-checked against SlotCatalog, which also carries the 13.64% hit frequency and the two release dates — 1 December 2025 for the exclusive window and 8 December 2025 for the wide release. The 1000 in the name refers to the top money-symbol value of 1,000× the total bet, not to the ceiling, which is 25,000×. That distinction trips up most descriptions of this branch of the family.
How the game plays
Five reels, three rows, 10 fixed paylines. The Big Bass board has never changed and it does not change here.
The base game is deliberately plain: you are fishing for three or more scatters, which award 10, 15 or 20 free spins for three, four or five. Everything that makes this game worth playing happens after that.
In free spins the fisherman wild appears and collects the value of every money symbol on screen. Money symbols carry 2× to 1,000× the total bet. Every fourth wild collected awards ten more spins and raises the multiplier — to 2×, then 3×, then 10×. That ladder is the engine of the whole family, and with 1,000× symbols underneath it the top end climbs fast.
What the 1000 edition adds is the opening draw. Up to five random modifiers are selected when the round begins: More Fish, More Fishermen, Start from Level 2 (which begins you at the 2× multiplier), and +2 Spins. Three random base-game bonuses — Dynamite, Hook and Bazooka — can also fire outside the round.
The story behind the game
Released 1 December 2025 on an exclusive window, with the wide release on 8 December 2025.
It belongs to the 1000 branch rather than the main line. Reel Kingdom now runs two parallel tracks: the originals — Big Bass Bonanza, Bigger Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Splash — which sit around 96.71% with ceilings between 2,100× and 5,000×, and the 1000 editions, which trade roughly two-tenths of RTP for ceilings five to ten times higher. Big Bass Vegas 1000 (96.53%, 15,000×) and Big Bass Splash Halloween 1000 (96.5%, 20,000×) are its siblings.
At 25,000× this is the highest of the three, and of the family overall. It is worth being precise about what the “1000” means, because almost every description gets it wrong: it is the top value a single money symbol can carry, not the maximum win. The original Splash capped its money symbols at 50×.
Symbols and paytable
Pragmatic publishes the full values on the in-game information screen. What follows is what changes how a round plays.
| The money symbols — 2× to 1,000× | The headline change. On the original Big Bass Splash the top money symbol is 50×; here it is 1,000× the total bet, and a single one of those collected under a 10× multiplier is most of a very large result on its own. |
|---|---|
| The fisherman wild — free spins only | It does not appear in the base game at all. When it lands during free spins it collects every money symbol on screen. This is the only mechanic that pays the money values; without a wild they are decoration. |
| The scatter | Three, four or five award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The base game has no other purpose, which is why its hit frequency is so low. |
| The multiplier ladder — 2×, 3×, 10× | Every fourth wild collected awards ten more spins and advances the multiplier. The jump from 3× to 10× is the one that matters; reaching it means you have collected twelve wilds, and the round is usually long by then. |
The structure is a staircase. Four wilds buys you ten spins and 2×; eight buys 3×; twelve buys 10×. A 1,000× money symbol collected before that staircase is worth a tenth of what it is worth after, which is why the round’s length matters more here than in any other Big Bass game.
Bonus features and free spins
Money symbols to 1,000×
Values run from 2× to 1,000× the total bet. Twenty times higher than the original Splash’s 50× ceiling, and the single reason this edition can reach 25,000×.
The wild ladder — 2×, 3×, 10×
Every fourth fisherman wild collected awards ten more free spins and advances the multiplier. Twelve wilds gets you to 10×. The spins it adds are what make twelve reachable at all.
Up to five random modifiers
Drawn at the start of free spins: More Fish, More Fishermen, Start from Level 2 (beginning at the 2× multiplier) and +2 Spins. Start from Level 2 is the valuable one — it effectively hands you the first four wilds.
Dynamite, Hook and Bazooka
Three random bonuses that can fire in the base game. They are the only thing happening outside free spins, and on a 13.64% hit frequency they are a welcome interruption rather than a serious source of returns.
Two buys and a Bonus Bet
Free Spins at 100× the total bet, Super Free Spins at 450×. Separately a Bonus Bet doubles your stake to improve the trigger odds — and while it is active, Bonus Buy is unavailable, so they are alternatives rather than a stack.
- 25,000× is the highest ceiling in the Big Bass family, five times the original Splash and above both other 1000 editions.
- Money symbols to 1,000× change the arithmetic of the whole round — one good collection under 10× is a result in itself.
- The five opening modifiers give free spins a variety the original Splash does not have, and Start from Level 2 is genuinely valuable.
- 96.52% on the top build is strong for a game with this ceiling, and only two-tenths below the 96.71% originals.
- A 13.64% hit frequency is punishing — roughly seven spins in eight return nothing at all, and the base game has almost nothing in it.
- Three RTP builds spanning two full points, with no indication in the lobby which one you are on.
- Bonus Bet and Bonus Buy cannot be used together, which is not obvious and makes the two routes into the round mutually exclusive.
- It is still the same game underneath. If the Big Bass loop has worn thin, a bigger multiplier on the money symbols will not change that.
How Big Bass Splash 1000 compares
The Big Bass family splits cleanly into two tracks, and the comparison worth making is between them rather than against the wider catalogue.
| Game | RTP (top build) | Volatility | Max win | Money symbol cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big Bass Splash 1000 | 96.52% | High | 25,000× | 1,000× |
| Big Bass Splash Halloween 1000 | 96.50% | Medium (3/5) | 20,000× | 1,000× |
| Big Bass Vegas 1000 | 96.53% | Medium | 15,000× | 1,000× |
| Big Bass Splash | 96.71% | High | 5,000× | 50× |
| Big Bass Bonanza | 96.71% | Medium to medium-high | 2,100× | 50× |
The trade is consistent across the range: the 1000 editions give up about two-tenths of RTP and buy a ceiling five to twelve times higher. Within the 1000 branch this is the top of the tree on max win, and the only one of the three rated high rather than medium — so it is the most volatile as well as the biggest. Big Bass Vegas 1000 is the gentler way into the same mechanic.
Big Bass Splash 1000 RTP, volatility and max win
Big Bass Splash 1000 is published at more than one RTP. Three certified builds and the operator chooses. On a game with a 13.64% hit frequency this matters more than it would on a steadier title: you are already playing long stretches of nothing, and a two-point cut takes money out of the few spins that do return. Read the figure off the information screen, not the lobby.
| 96.52% | the headline build |
|---|---|
| 95.51% | about a point down — the default one database lists |
| 94.53% | two points below the headline |
The headline is 96.52%, which is good for a game with a 25,000× ceiling — studios usually charge more RTP than that for a cap this high.
Two lower builds are certified, 95.51% and 94.53%, and the operator picks. One database lists 95.51% as the default it sees, which suggests the middle build is in wide circulation rather than being a rarity. The live figure is on the information screen.
The number that actually describes the experience is the 13.64% hit frequency. Fewer than one spin in seven returns anything, and because the base game holds nothing but scatters and three occasional random bonuses, those empty spins are genuinely empty. This is a game that is either in free spins or waiting to be, and you should size your stake for the waiting rather than for the ceiling.
Bets, bankroll and session planning
Stakes run from €0.10 to €250 a spin, a wide range even by Pragmatic’s standards.
There are three ways to change the odds and they interact. Bonus Buy gives standard Free Spins at 100× the total bet or Super Free Spins at 450×. Separately, the Bonus Bet doubles your stake to improve the natural trigger chance — and while Bonus Bet is on, Bonus Buy is disabled. They are alternatives, not a combination, and the game does not make that obvious until you try.
On a 13.64% hit frequency the 100× buy is worth thinking about seriously rather than dismissing. You are otherwise paying for a long run of empty spins to reach the only part of the game that pays.
Playing on mobile
Runs in the browser on a phone with no download and no app. The 5 × 3 board is the most phone-friendly shape Pragmatic ships and the Big Bass artwork has always been built for small screens. The one thing worth watching in portrait is the multiplier indicator during free spins — it is small, and on this edition it is the number that matters most.
Five things to know before you spin
- Check the RTP build first. Three are certified across two full points, and one database reports the middle build as the common default.
- Count wilds, not spins. Four, eight and twelve are the thresholds that matter — each one adds ten spins and advances the multiplier to 2×, 3× then 10×.
- Start from Level 2 is the modifier to hope for. It begins the round at the 2× multiplier, which is worth four collected wilds before you have spun once.
- Bonus Bet and Bonus Buy are mutually exclusive. Turning on Bonus Bet disables the buy, so decide which route you want before you start.
- The “1000” is the money-symbol cap, not the max win. Symbols reach 1,000×; the game reaches 25,000×.

Who this slot is for
If you already like Big Bass and want the version with the most upside, this is it — the highest ceiling in the family, the biggest money symbols, and the most varied free-spin round. 96.52% with a 25,000× cap is a genuinely good pairing.
It is the wrong choice if the base game matters to you. 13.64% is a hard hit frequency, and Reel Kingdom has never pretended the Big Bass base game is anything other than a waiting room. If you want the same mechanic with the waiting smoothed out, Big Bass Vegas 1000 is rated medium with a 15,000× cap, and the original Big Bass Bonanza at 96.71% is the gentlest of the lot.

Our verdict on Big Bass Splash 1000
The biggest ceiling in the family, and the emptiest base game
Reel Kingdom has found a formula with the 1000 editions and this is the most aggressive version of it. Money symbols to 1,000× sitting under the same 2×/3×/10× wild ladder produces a genuinely different top end from the original Splash, and 25,000× at 96.52% is a strong pairing for a game this volatile. The five opening modifiers give the round more variety than the family has had before.
The cost is the base game, and it is steep. 13.64% means most of your session is spins that do nothing while you wait for three scatters. Reel Kingdom knows this, which is why the buy exists at 100× and why it is a more reasonable proposition here than on a steadier game.
If you want the biggest Big Bass, this is it. If you want to enjoy the spins between bonuses, the family has never been the right place to look — and Big Bass Vegas 1000 at medium volatility is the closest it gets.
