Pragmatic Play · 2025
Big Bass Splash 1000 is a high volatility 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play with a fishing theme. This page explains how each round pays.
Five reels of three rows each form the 5x3 grid, and the fishing theme shows in the symbols, from the dragonfly to the monster pickup truck. Wins run along 10 fixed paylines, and symbols pay from the leftmost reel to the right. Two matching symbols are the fewest that pay, so a win can form with only a pair of symbols on the left. The base game runs on high volatility.
Scatter and Wild symbols land on the same reels as the other symbols, and the game also lists Free Spins, Super Free Spins, Money Collect and Progressive Multiplier as features. Its four sister titles in the Big Bass series cap the top win at x5,000 of the bet, which makes this version the highest in that series.

Imperial Casino lays out each mode's rules before any spin is placed.
Scatter symbols that land on the reels lead into Free Spins, the bonus mode the game reaches from base game play. Before that, each spin runs on a 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines, and the Free Spins feature carries play into the bonus round.

On the reels, Super Free Spins runs as a separate bonus mode beside Free Spins, and the same Scatter, Wild, Progressive Multiplier and Money Collect features are part of the game.

Inside the Free Spins
Many players wonder what the reels look like before they put money in.
Round walkthrough
The usual worry is not knowing where the money goes before a round starts.
Nothing moves on the five reels until you set a stake between A$0.10 and A$500 per spin. The A$1, A$2 and A$10 examples in this guide are only sample bets.
Symbols pay from the leftmost reel to the right along the 10 fixed paylines. Two matching symbols in a row from the leftmost reel are enough to pay.
Wild and Scatter symbols share the five reels with the paying symbols. Money Collect and Progressive Multiplier are base game features, and their effects show on the reels.
Scatter symbols on the reels start the Free Spins mode, which runs under its own rules, separate from the base game.
After each round the reels stop and wait for the next stake, so decide your limit before the first spin. The National Gambling Helpline is 1800 858 858.
On the reels, a bonus buy starts Free Spins for 100 times the bet, A$1,000 at A$10, and Super Free Spins for 450 times, A$4,500.
| Round to buy | Cost (A$) | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Free Spins | x100 · A$1,000 | – |
| Buy Super Free Spins | x450 · A$4,500 | – |
Each spin on the five reels returns part of the stake. The return to player is counted per A$100 staked over a long run. The game rules show which version runs.
| RTP level | RTP | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Variant 1 | 96.53% | No |
| Variant 2 | 96.52% | Yes |
| Variant 3 | 96.51% | No |
Symbols land at random across the 5x3 reels, and Scatter symbols start the bonus round. How often that happens is not known before play. The result of one session is random as well, and the RTP does not change that. RTP describes the return over a very long run of rounds, not the outcome of your next visit.
Each spin on the reels runs on one RTP version, and that version is shown only in the game rules. Check the game rules to see which version Imperial Casino runs before you compare returns between sessions.
A winning combination on the reels can pay up to the maximum win of Big Bass Splash 1000, which is a ceiling and not a typical result. That ceiling is reached very rarely. The maximum multiple stays the same at every bet, so the money figure grows with the stake.
Two modes follow
Settles whether to start in practice mode or with a real account.
Spins in the demo use the same reels and pay nothing, since no money is staked. The real game needs an account and you must be 18 or over.
Play nowPlay from 18 and up. If gambling stops feeling like a choice, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858, and BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, can keep you out of every licensed operator.
Decide what this session is worth while the reels are still, and top up the account only from that amount. A stake of A$1, A$2 or A$10 feels small one round at a time.
Pick a figure that ends the session whether you are ahead or behind, and treat a big catch as part of it. Chasing a win you have already banked is how a good night turns.
Deposit and loss limits in your account stop a decision made in the moment from costing more than you planned. Set them while you are calm, then let them hold.
A short timeout rests the account without closing it; self-exclusion through BetStop closes it everywhere. If you cannot walk away mid-session, take the second option.
Big Bass Splash 1000 answers
Worth a look while you weigh up the bet and the free spins feature.
Five of the 2026 Big Bass releases cap the top payout at 5,000 times the bet, while this one reaches 25,000 times. Its base return of 96.52 percent also sits slightly above those 96.50 and 96.51 versions. It arrived a year earlier, in the 2025 run of the series.
Free Spins can be bought for 100 times the bet, which is A$1,000 at a A$10 stake. A Super Free Spins purchase costs 450 times the bet, or A$4,500 at the same bet. Both are paid features alongside the Ante Bet toggle.
One round can return 25,000 times the total bet, which turns a A$10 example stake into A$250,000. At the top bet of A$500 the same cap comes to A$12,500,000. Reaching it is rare, and nothing in advance tells you which session will.
The game runs at high volatility, so wins land less often and tend to be larger when they do. Plan the stake around that rhythm: the pot builds through longer quiet stretches. The 96.52 percent base return is measured over the whole cycle, not over your session.
Land the Scatter symbols and the round can open, and the Ante Bet toggle raises that natural chance in exchange for a bigger stake. During the feature the collected fish values and the Progressive Multiplier do the work. No one can say how many spins you need before it opens.
