Big Bass Blast is Pragmatic Play's electric-skinned entry in the Big Bass series. High volatility, 5x3 reels, 10 fixed lines, and a 5,000x cap. The Money Collect loop runs on a strict clock. Free Spins open with 5, 7 or 9 spins from the Scatter count, and a guaranteed Fisherman Wild lands every spin. Every seventh collected Wild retriggers five more spins and raises the multiplier. The capture here ran 17 spins: seven, then five at x2, then five more. One detail deserves attention. The printed rules promise x3 after the second retrigger, but the tracker badge reads x8, and the collected values confirm x8. Players comparing this build to earlier Big Bass titles should know the two sources disagree.
Big Bass Blast is a 5 reel, 3 row slot from Pragmatic Play with 10 fixed Lines and High volatility. It is due for release on 6 July 2026, so it is not part of the current UK lobby. When it arrives, its published return of 96.50 percent puts it in the middle of the recent Big Bass run rather than at the top. The theme is Reel fishing with an electric neon skin over the familiar lake. The studio is Reel Kingdom, the team behind the series.
The base game is quiet by design. Wins pay left to right across the 10 Lines, and the Fisherman Wild appears only on reels 1 and 5. He can land with a random x2, x3 or x10 badge and collects any Money symbol values on screen, which run from 0.5x to 500x the total bet. Two Scatters can be rescued by a hook animation that pulls a third onto the reels. Three, four or five Scatters award 5, 7 or 9 Free Spins. The Ante Bet raises the stake by half for more Scatters, and it switches the Buy Free Spins option off.
Free Spins guarantee at least one Fisherman on every spin, so each round becomes a collection exercise. Every 7th Wild lights a checkpoint above the reels and adds 5 more spins, with a rising Money multiplier at each stage. The captured session ran 17 spins across three blocks before ending without a third retrigger. Random hook, bazooka and extra Money events fill dead spins in both modes. The round stops at once if the total reaches 5,000x the bet, and any remaining spins are forfeited.
| Route | Cost or trigger | Published return | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base play | 3, 4 or 5 Scatters | 96.50 percent | No control over timing |
| Ante Bet | 1.5x total bet | 96.51 percent | Buy Free Spins disabled |
| Buy Free Spins | 100x total bet | 96.50 percent | Scatter count still random |
Big Bass Blast offers three documented player choices: the Ante Bet toggle, buying Free Spins, and the total bet size. Each changes cost and access to the feature in a different way, while core resolution stays random and RTP stays near 96.50%.
Big Bass Blast runs on 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed Lines with High volatility and a 5,000x bet cap. Both listed items revolve around one Money Collect loop: Money symbols take values up to 500x bet, and the Fisherman Wild on reels 1 or 5 collects them, in the Base Game and again with stronger guarantees in Free Spins.
| Base Game | Ten fixed paylines pay left to right from the leftmost reel. Each spin, Money symbols take random values from 0.5x to 500x total bet. A Fisherman Wild lands only on reel 1 or 5 and collects every Money value on screen, with a random x2, x3 or x10 badge multiplying that collection. |
|---|---|
| Free Spins | Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 5, 7 or 9 spins, or the round is bought for 100x bet. At least one Fisherman Wild lands every spin and collects all Money values. Every seventh collected Wild adds 5 spins and raises the collection multiplier, up to three retriggers; the round ends early at the 5,000x cap. |
x2 / x3 / x4 / x5
Big Bass Blast runs on 5 reels with 10 fixed Lines and High volatility. The loop: set a bet, spin, and land Scatter symbols to open Free Spins, where the Fisherman Wild collects Money values. The round ends when spins run out or the 5,000x cap is reached.
Use the - and + buttons to choose a total bet. Optionally toggle the Ante Bet on the BET barrel for a higher feature chance at 1.5x cost, or use BUY FREE SPINS at 100x bet to enter the feature directly.
Press SPIN, or SPACE or ENTER, to spin the reels. Wins pay left to right on the 10 Lines. Three or more Scatter symbols award 5, 7 or 9 Free Spins; two Scatters may trigger a hook that pulls in a third.
A Fisherman Wild is guaranteed every spin and performs the Money Collect of all Money symbol values. Every 7 Wilds collected adds 5 spins and raises the Multiplier. The round ends at zero spins or the 5,000x max win.
Big Bass
Big Bass spans over twenty Pragmatic Play titles built on one recurring engine: a fisherman-themed wild that appears only in free spins and hoovers up randomly valued money-fish symbols, with every fourth (sometimes third) collected wild retriggering ten more spins and stepping up a multiplier. Around that core, entries branch widely: some add ante bet tiers, buy-feature menus, pick-a-card modifiers, dual-colour wild trackers, Megaways reels, hold-and-spin rounds, or reel-repeat wheels. Settings range from lakes and Vegas to boxing rings, racetracks, football pitches and zombie horror, but the collect-and-retrigger mechanic remains the throughline across releases.
Pragmatic Play is a Gibraltar-based content supplier to the iGaming industry, led by CEO Julian Jarvis. It distributes its full portfolio through a single API integration, covering online slots, live casino, bingo, virtual sports and other RNG games. The studio holds certification or licensing across more than thirty jurisdictions, including the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission. Its games are built on a mobile-first HTML5 architecture aimed at regulated markets. Within this mirrored catalogue, output leans heavily toward video slots, spanning recurring series and mechanics like Megaways, Hold and Spin and Money Collect, alongside smaller runs of scratch, crash and table titles.
Big Bass Blast suits players comfortable with swing: the guaranteed collector each spin and clean economics make its 5,000x cap feel reachable, but short spin allotments and the unresolved retrigger-multiplier conflict demand reading the tracker rather than trusting the rulebook.
The default RTP is 96.50% and volatility is high. Using the Ante Bet changes the RTP slightly to 96.51%, while the Buy Free Spins option keeps it at 96.50%. High volatility means wins land less often, but big hits can arrive in a short span.
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels awards 5, 7 or 9 free spins. If exactly 2 Scatters land without a third, a hook animation can pull an extra Scatter onto the screen to trigger the round. During free spins, a Fisherman Wild is guaranteed to land on every spin.
The Fisherman Wild appears only on reels 1 and 5, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter. Each Money symbol on screen carries a random value from 0.5x up to 500x total bet, and every Fisherman Wild present collects and awards those values. In the base game it can also apply a random x2, x3 or x10 multiplier.
Every 7 Fisherman Wilds collected during free spins retriggers the feature, awarding 5 more spins and raising the Money-collection multiplier. The three checkpoints raise it to x2, then to a higher tier and finally x10, after which no further retriggers are possible. Retriggered spins play after the previous batch ends.
The maximum win is 5,000x the bet. If a free spins round reaches that cap, the round ends immediately, the win is awarded up to 5,000x, and any remaining free spins, including pending retriggers, are forfeited. The Buy Free Spins option costs 100x the current total bet.
