The 350x buy removes the modifier draw entirely

Three Scatters are enough to start Free Spins, yet the round they open still depends on a draw: zero to five modifiers are chosen at random before the first spin plays. The Super Free Spins buy, priced at 350x the bet, removes that draw entirely by awarding all five modifiers at once. The difference is concrete rather than cosmetic, since the bought round opens with 12 spins instead of 10, its Money Collect Multiplier begins at level two, the reel strips carry extra fish and extra Wilds, and every retrigger adds 12 spins. What you pay for is not a higher ceiling, because the 5000x win cap applies either way, but a round that starts where a lucky natural trigger might.

Launching the game and placing a bet

Sunlit turquoise water, drifting bubbles and a grinning fisherman set the tone in Bigger Bass Splash. Your objective is to spin the 5x4 grid for left-to-right Lines wins, while Scatter results open the Free Spins route; the loop is stake, spin, read the outcome, repeat.

Set the stake, start the round

From PLACE YOUR BETS!, press SPIN, or use SPACE/ENTER, to turn the reels at the current BET. If you want a different stake first, use the -/+ controls to open the bet menu and set a total bet between $0.10 and $300.00.
Resolve the spin, loop again

When the reels stop, wins on Lines are added to WIN and CREDIT while unmatched spins simply return control. The status returns to PLACE YOUR BETS!, so press SPIN, SPACE or ENTER for another round.

Playing smart: bankroll and volatility

The left panel beside the reels lists everything you can actually decide in Bigger Bass Splash: a total bet, an Ante Bet switch and two buy-in buttons with set prices. Each changes something different — cash size, Scatter density, or the setup a bought round starts with — and the rules quote 96.50% RTP for every mode, so these choices differ in cost and conditions, not in stated return.

Stake first: it scales every cash figure

One control decides the cash scale of everything else. The bet menu sets a total bet between $0.10 and $300.00, the rules price the two buy-ins at 100x and 350x of that bet, and fish values are expressed in the same multiples. Check the confirm dialog for the actual figure, though: at a captured $3 stake it showed $200 and $700, below those multiples, and the gap is unexplained.
Ante Bet: the one setting you can reverse

Only this decision can be taken back: the Ante Bet flips the bet multiplier between 10x and 15x, a 50% higher cost per spin. While the 15x setting runs, the reels carry extra Scatter symbols and both buy-ins stay locked; switching it off lifts the lock immediately. The rules call the result a higher natural chance at Free Spins without saying by how much, and the stated RTP does not move.
Buy Free Spins: 100x settles entry, not the setup

The lower buy-in, priced at 100x the total bet, starts a Free Spins round on the spot. Only entry is settled, though: the launch spin is guaranteed to land three, four or five Scatters, so the round may open with 10, 15 or 20 spins, and the modifier draw can still return anything from zero to five. Money Collect and the 5,000x ceiling then run exactly as in a naturally triggered round.
Buy Super Free Spins: 350x to skip the modifier draw

At 350x the bet, 3.5 times the regular price, the premium buys certainty about the setup, not the outcome. All five modifiers come pre-awarded, so the zero-to-five draw never happens; the round opens at level 2 with 12 spins, adding 12 per retrigger. The randomness lives inside the round instead: fish values, Wild landings, and a 5,000x run that ends the feature early, forfeiting any spins left.

How the game plays out

The intro screen promises fish worth up to 5,000x the bet, and the four cards below trace that number through one money-collect system: a 12-Line grid where values hide on every fish symbol, two Free Spins rounds that expose and retrigger them, and the fisherman Wild who gathers them at up to 10x.

Base Game	All five fish symbols on the paytable double as money symbols, each drawing a random value from 2x to 5,000x the bet that stays hidden during ordinary play across the 12 fixed Lines. The Ante Bet toggle trades a 15x stake multiplier for extra Scatter symbols but switches the buy options off, and two Scatters without a third can still be rescued by a Respin or a hook.
Free Spins	Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 10, 15 or 20 spins, and before the round starts up to five modifiers are drawn at random, sometimes none. Every Wild that lands also collects the visible money values, and every fourth Wild collected retriggers +10 spins while raising the collection Multiplier through 2x and 3x to a 10x ceiling, after which retriggers stop.
Super Free Spins	The buy-in is 350x the bet, and the price removes the lottery: all five modifiers are active from the first spin, so you start at level 2 with 12 spins rather than 10 and each retrigger adds 12 instead of 10. The Wild collection and its 2x, 3x and 10x steps otherwise run exactly as in the regular round.
WILD Money Collect	Each Wild that lands sweeps up every money value currently on screen, and all Wilds caught during the round keep their combined haul until it ends, when the total is paid with the active level Multiplier of 1x, 2x, 3x or 10x applied. If fish or fisherman are missing, dynamite, hook and wipeout events can fire to bring both onto the screen together.

What we think

Strengths

When two scatters land without a third, a respin or hook can still produce it, rescuing some near misses.
Each fourth collected wild adds 10 spins and steps the money multiplier up to 10x, letting the bonus round escalate.
Buying in at 100x or 350x keeps the same 96.50% return as normal play, so skipping the wait is priced, not taxed.

What could be better

The wild lands only in free spins, so the 12-line base game pays on plain line hits while it waits for scatters.
Any round that reaches the 5000x cap stops on the spot, and unused free spins are cancelled with it.

Bigger Bass Splash is a waiting game by design: the base game marks time while everything meaningful sits in a free spins round that collects, retriggers and multiplies. It suits high-volatility reel players who like a bonus with visible progression and accept grinding or paying to reach it; anyone needing action on every spin should look elsewhere.
