Every fish on these reels is carrying a number

Big Bass Splash is Reel Kingdom's fishing slot, played across five reels and three rows. Its whole structure sits on one idea: fish symbols are also MONEY symbols, each one carrying a random value that only becomes cash once a WILD collects it during free spins.

Published RTP is 96.71%. The rest of this gazette is the reference material — the money symbol index, the retrigger manifest and the buy-in terms — laid out the way a briefing sheet would.

The grid

Reels and symbols

Five reels, three rows, paying left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel. The regular symbol set is built from fishing gear: a red pickup truck, a bronze hook and tackle, a blue dragonfly and a red tackle box, sitting above card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10.

The bass fish is the SCATTER, appearing on every reel and triggering free spins on its own. The fisherman is the WILD — but strictly a free spins symbol, appearing on all reels only once the round begins, substituting for everything bar the scatter.

The mechanic

Money symbols explained

Any fish symbol that pays is simultaneously a MONEY symbol. Each time one lands, it is assigned one value at random from a fixed list, ranging from a modest 2x total bet up to a 5000x ceiling.

Those values sit dormant in the base game. It is only during free spins, when the fisherman WILD lands on a reel, that every MONEY value currently on screen gets collected and added to the round's total.

The ceiling

Max win and buy-in

The round is capped at 5000x total bet. Reach it and the round ends immediately: the win is paid and any spins left unused are forfeited, whether the round was triggered naturally or bought outright for 100x current total bet.

Buying in skips the scatter hunt but not the randomness — the triggering spin lands 3, 4 or 5 scatters at random, so the purchased round's starting length is never fixed.

"Nothing about a Big Bass fish is decorative — the colour and the dollar sign on it are both doing the same job: telling you what it is worth the moment a wild reaches it." — Crewe Gazette, slot desk notebook
The manifest

Free spins, in the order they happen

Retrigger ladder

  1. 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols in the base game trigger free spins, awarding 10, 15 or 20 spins respectively.
  2. The fisherman WILD appears on all five reels through the round, substituting for every symbol except the scatter.
  3. Each WILD landed collects the values of every MONEY fish showing on the grid at that moment.
  4. Every 4th WILD collected retriggers the round for 10 more spins and steps the collection multiplier up — 2x, then 3x, then 10x at the fourth and final level.
  5. There is no level beyond the fourth: once reached, the feature stops retriggering.
  6. A total win of 5000x bet ends the round on the spot, however many spins remain.
