How the Free Spins and Money Collect Feature Works
Big Bass Splash is a video slot developed by Reel Kingdom, Pragmatic Play's in-house studio, and released on June 6, 2022, with a wide release on June 23, 2022. It runs on a 5 reel, 3 row grid with 10 ways to win, built around an angling and lakeside theme with a fisherman wild character, tackle-box symbols, and a splashing bass as the top-paying icon. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on a single spin triggers 10, 15, or 20 free spins. During both the base game and the free spins round, money symbols worth up to 5,000x your stake can appear on the reels alongside wild symbols. Whenever a wild lands, every money symbol currently showing is collected and added to your running total for that round.

Money symbols
Up to 5,000x stake
During free spins, every 4th wild that lands retriggers the feature with 10 more free spins, and the multiplier escalates with each retrigger: 2x on the first, 3x on the second, and 10x on the third. Up to five separate modifiers, such as extra money symbols, extra wilds, or extra starting spins, can apply before the feature even begins. That structure, rather than the base-game paytable, is the main source of the game's high volatility and its 5,000x maximum win. Read our full review for a deeper breakdown.

Symbols and Bonus Features
Four mechanics define how this slot pays out, beyond the base 10-ways grid.
Money symbols
Cash-value symbols worth up to 5,000x stake that appear in both the base game and free spins, ready to be collected by a landing wild.
Fisherman wild
The wild substitutes for most symbols and, crucially, collects every money symbol on the reels each time it lands.
Retrigger multiplier
During free spins, every 4th wild adds 10 more spins and raises the round multiplier to 2x, then 3x, then 10x.
Free spins round
3, 4, or 5 tackle-box scatters award 10, 15, or 20 free spins, where the money collect feature has the most room to build.
How Deposits Work in the UK
Once you move to real money, deposits and withdrawals at licensed British operators run through a small set of methods.
Debit cards
Visa and Mastercard debit, the standard UK deposit route
Credit cards not accepted
Banned for gambling in Great Britain since 14 April 2020
PayPal and e-wallets
Widely supported, and they cannot be funded from a credit card
Open banking transfer
Pay direct from a bank account without card details
Withdrawals
Timing and limits are set by each operator, check before you deposit
Credit cards cannot be used for gambling in Great Britain, and that ban extends to e-wallets funded from a credit card. Withdrawal times and limits are set by each operator.
