Big Bass Splash 1000 doubles the fish. Where the original Big Bass Splash caps its cash-collect symbols at 500x, this November 2024 release pushes them to 1,000x — and the max win jumps from 5,000x to 25,000x as a result. The trade-off: hit frequency sits at 13.64%, roughly 1 in 7.3 spins, so most of your session will produce nothing while the game builds toward the fishing bonus.
Default RTP is listed at 96.52%, but Level Up — like most offshore operators — can configure it down to 95.51% or 94.53%. That's a meaningful gap over a long session, and it's worth checking the paytable before you commit a bankroll.
How does the fishing bonus actually work?
Base game is a standard 5x3 grid with 10 fixed paylines. The real action starts when you land 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, triggering 10, 15, or 20 free spins. During those spins, a Fisherman wild collects every visible cash fish symbol currently on the reels — and fish values run from 2x up to that headline 1,000x your stake.
There's a progress meter tied to the Fisherman collections: fill it and a multiplier unlocks that applies to every fish collected afterward. Up to 5 pre-bonus modifiers can also land randomly before the feature starts — extra Fishermen wilds, more money fish on the reels, bonus-level boosts, or extra spins. None of these are guaranteed; they're a bonus on top of the base trigger.

Is the Super Free Spins Buy worth the cost?
At 450x your stake, the Super Buy is expensive by any measure — a A$2 bet puts the Super Buy at A$900 in one purchase. What it buys you isn't a guaranteed 1,000x fish, just a shifted probability distribution toward higher-value fish landing more often during the bonus. The standard buy at 100x is far more affordable and still guarantees the free spins trigger itself; it just doesn't skew the fish values in your favour the way the Super Buy does.
Bonus buy is unrestricted for AU players — there's no UKGC-style ban here — but that also means there's no built-in guardrail. Budget the buy cost the same way you'd budget any single high-stakes bet, not as a shortcut around the base game's low hit frequency.
Author's tip from Ryan Gallagher, Online Casino Reviewer: "If you're deciding between the original Big Bass Splash and the 1000 version, know the trade-off going in: the original's 96.71% RTP is slightly higher, but its 5,000x ceiling is a fifth of what this version offers."
Big Bass Splash 1000 is high volatility — budget a session bankroll you're comfortable seeing drop before the fishing bonus lands, and set a deposit limit before you start if you haven't already. It's 18+, demo mode is free to test the mechanics first.
