The main character (wild symbol) returns with his trademark beard and sunglasses, but this time is decked out in his finest summer attire, with a Hawaiian shirt, a flower necklace, with a cowboy hat and trousers, alongside a rope on the belt.

Upon loading the game, you will be greeted with a 5x4 slot grid with 12 paylines, and you can bet a minimum of £0.10, meaning it is accessible for low-stake players.

A highly volatile game no matter how you play it the return-to-player maximum rate is 96.5%, just slightly above the industry average. With the game being highly volatile that means you won't win very frequently, but when you do they will be bigger wins.

The symbols contains 10-A card ranks, fish, a lure, beer cooler, a rod and a boat. Royal wins of five matching symbols pay 5x-10x the bet, while reeling in fishes can cash you in up to 5,000x of your total bet. Fishermen symbols are a wild, and will show up in the base game to collect fishes (cash) as well as in the free spins phrase of play. 

The set of Bigger Bass Splash bring its familiar fishing mechanics, with the free spin round the star of the show, alongside a variety of random modifiers, multipliers and progressive elements.

Hitting three, four, or five scatter symbols will trigger the free spins bonus round, where you can win 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. Once you enter the bonus game, you can collect more wilds to level up. Levelling up will not only give you more free spins but it will also offer multipliers at each stage such as 2x, 3x and 10x. 

The largest payout symbol on the base grid is the boat, which is worth 200x your bet once you have aligned five of them on the grid.

For the games modifier features, you have fisherman symbols on the screen, but no fish, fish money symbols can randomly appear at the end of the spin via a dynamite feature. Whereas a fish symbols with no fisherman, a hook may randomly appear to bring the latter into view.

In addition, when there are fisherman symbols on the reel but no fish, a wipeout animation may change all symbols on screen bar the fisherman earning you big bucks.

Fish paying symbols are also money symbols and when they hit, they have a monetary value of 2x to 5,000x the bet that can be won during free spins.

The max win for this game is 5,000x and if you reach it within the free spins round, the round will end immediately. 

Overall, any players who have enjoyed the Bigger Bass Bonanza series will enjoy this new addition, and if that is you, make sure to enjoy it responsibly, and good luck!
