Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom have added Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 to the Big Bass series, giving the familiar fishing format a Halloween theme and several changes to the bonus structure.
The slot uses a 5×3 grid with 10 paylines, medium volatility and a maximum RTP of 96.50%. Stakes range from 0.10 to 250, while the maximum win reaches 20,000x the bet.
The fisherman appears as a vampire, with pumpkins, bats, coffins and costumed fish used throughout the game.
Pumpkins Modify the Free Spins Feature
Landing three, four or five Scatters triggers 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
Two Scatters can also lead to the bonus through a random feature that adds another Scatter or creates a respin opportunity.
Before the feature starts, players choose one of six pumpkins. The selection can award More Fishermen, More Fish, Start From Level 2, More Treats or +2 Spins, while some picks may return no reward.
Pumpkins can also appear on reel five during free spins and trigger another selection. Any upgrade won at that stage remains active for the rest of the feature.
The +2 Spins modifier adds two spins at the start and two more on each later retrigger.
Fisherman Wilds Build the Multiplier
During the bonus, Fisherman Wilds collect fish Money symbols showing on the reels. Fish can carry values up to 1,000x the bet.
Every fourth collected Fisherman advances the progression and adds 10 free spins.
The first retrigger increases the Money-symbol multiplier to 2x, followed by 3x and then 10x at the final level.
Three random features can also activate during free spins. Trick or Treat can add Money symbols when Fishermen appear without fish, while Spider can bring Fishermen onto the reels when fish land without a collector. Bazooka can replace other symbols when Fishermen appear without Money symbols.
Ante Bet and Feature Buys Add Direct Access
Players can activate an Ante Bet that increases the stake by 50% and adds more Scatters to the reels.
Where permitted, the regular Free Spins feature can be purchased for 100x the bet.
Super Free Spins cost 450x and increase the chance of landing Money symbols carrying the 1,000x value.
Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 builds on mechanics used in earlier Big Bass releases, including the fisherman collection trail and retrigger multipliers.
The older Big Bass Halloween also used a 5×3 layout with 10 paylines and followed the same 2x, 3x and 10x multiplier progression during free spins. That title carried an RTP of 96.04%, while fish values could reach 2,000x.
The new Pragmatic Play’s release changes that setup through the pumpkin upgrade system, random bonus modifiers and the 20,000x maximum win.
