A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines: Big Bass Splash is a high volatility fishing video slot, and this page covers its payouts, bonus modes and RTP.
The demo is free; the real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
5x3 is the grid of Big Bass Splash, with five reels and three rows of fishing and ocean symbols. Wins follow 10 fixed paylines and pay from the leftmost reel to the right. A win needs at least 2 matching symbols on a payline, so small combinations count too. The symbols include a dragonfly, a tackle box and a red off-road 4x4 truck, alongside the card values.
Every 4th WILD collected in Free Spins adds 10 Free Spins and lifts the collection multiplier, up to x10 at level 4. The Fisherman WILD appears on all reels and collects money values from 2x to 5,000x the total bet, shown on fish symbols. Dynamite, hook and bazooka events can change the reels mid-spin. Two SCATTER in the Base Game can trigger near-miss teasers.

Know before you start
Wondering how the free spins start and what the wild money adds up to?
5 reels show the WILD (Fisherman) once free spins start. Each WILD collects a random MONEY value (2x-5000x total bet) from a fish symbol. Every 4th WILD collected adds 10 Free Spins and raises the level, with x2, x3 and x10 at levels 2, 3 and 4, where retriggers stop.

5 reels x 3 rows with 10 fixed paylines, and wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel. When exactly 2 SCATTER land, a near-miss teaser appears: the scatter reels drop one position while the others respin, or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another SCATTER.

Round guide
It settles how a round runs, from picking a bet to setting a session limit.
A$0.10 to A$250 is the full bet range, so every spin can be sized to your budget before the reels start.
10 fixed paylines run across the 5 reels and 3 rows, and a win starts on the leftmost reel. Two matching symbols in a row are enough to pay.
2 SCATTER symbols landing in the base game bring a near-miss teaser. The scatter reels can drop one position, or a hook can lift a reel to reveal another SCATTER.
5 reels carry the WILD (Fisherman) once Free Spins open. The WILD collects the MONEY values shown on fish symbols, each worth between 2x and 5,000x the total bet.
A$5 is the top example bet. Set a loss limit in A$ before the first spin, and stop when it is reached.
At 96.71% RTP, how often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and nobody can calculate it for your session. The RTP is a long-run average over a very large number of spins. One session can bring many bonus rounds or none, and that stays true whatever the RTP. Every spin is random.
96.71% is the RTP of this version of Big Bass Splash, and the series has other versions at different RTPs. Which RTP version runs on Igni Casino is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play.
x5,000 the bet is the maximum win, a ceiling reached very rarely and never a figure to plan around. At the example top bet of A$5, the same ceiling reads as A$25,000. Reaching it depends on random spins, and no session can be planned around that.

Know what to expect
Most players want to know how risky the game feels before they stake any money.
A 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines sits behind the high volatility of Big Bass Splash. High volatility means wins arrive less often but can be larger when they land. Nobody can know in advance how a session will turn out.
A$0.10 is the lowest bet and A$250 the highest in Big Bass Splash. The examples on this page, A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$5, are only illustrations. Smaller stakes stretch a session, while larger ones raise every possible win.
96.71% is the RTP of Big Bass Splash, meaning A$96.71 returned per A$100 staked over a very large number of spins. A single session can end well above or well below that average. Other versions of the series use their own RTP, listed below.
x5,000 of the bet is the top win in Big Bass Splash, which equals A$25,000 at the example top bet of A$5 and A$1,250,000 at the highest allowed bet of A$250. The payout depends on the bet, so the cash amount grows with each stake.
Exactly 2 Scatters landing in the base game produce a near-miss tease, where a scatter reel moves one position down or a hook pulls a reel up to reveal another Scatter. Inside the Free Spins, every 4th Wild collected adds 10 more free spins and raises the collection multiplier.
