Big Bass Floats My Boat: Free Demo and RTP
The version where multipliers stay put. Each fish that lands during the bonus leaves a growing multiplier on its own position, so the reels build value in specific spots rather than resetting every spin.

How the Bonus Round Works
Every detail below comes from the official Pragmatic Play game page for this title. We do not restate figures the provider has not published.
- At least three scatters are required to enter the free spins round, with additional scatters granting up to 20 spins.
- During the bonus, each fish landed adds an incrementally increasing multiplier to its position, growing the value of later catches.
- Every four wild fishermen landed awards a retrigger, granting 10 additional spins and more room for the multipliers to climb.
- If a fisherman lands with no fish on screen, an octopus appears and transforms symbols into instant cash-awarding fish.

Read from the in-game GAME RULES panel, page 1/7 of the free demo, captured 12 September 2026. The panel prints these as cash amounts at the $2.00 demo stake; here they are divided by that stake, so a cell reading 200x means 200 times your total bet. An empty cell means the panel prints no payout for that combination. Symbol names are our description of the artwork: the panel labels nothing, it only draws the symbol above its payouts.

How It Compares With Big Bass Splash
Splash pays what the fisherman collects at the moment he lands. Floats My Boat rewards a long bonus instead, because the position multipliers only matter if the round keeps going. RTP sits lower at 96.07% against 96.71%.
| Game | Published RTP | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Big Bass Floats My Boat | 96.07% | Slot |
| Big Bass Splash | 96.71% | Slot |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Big Bass Floats My Boat paytable have four picture symbols instead of five?
Because that is what the game prints. Most titles in the series list five picture symbols above the card values; this one lists four, topped by the fishing boat at 200x. There is no fifth row to report, so the table on this page has none rather than a zero.
How are the multipliers different in Floats My Boat?
Each fish that lands during the bonus leaves an increasing multiplier on its own position, so value builds in specific spots on the reels rather than resetting every spin. That only pays off if the round keeps running, which is why retriggers matter more here than in the base game of the series.
What happens when a fisherman lands with no fish on screen?
An octopus appears and transforms symbols into fish that award cash instantly. It is the one situation in this title where a wild landing on an empty screen still produces something.
Does Floats My Boat pay back less than Big Bass Splash?
Its published RTP is 96.07% against 96.71%, a gap of 0.64 percentage points. Three titles in the series share that 96.07% figure, and only Big Bass Halloween publishes less. Volatility is rated Medium and the maximum win is 5,000x, both the same as Big Bass Splash.
