Big Bass Halloween Paytable
What each symbol pays for a winning combination, read off the game's own rules panel rather than a database. All wins run from the leftmost reel to the right on adjacent reels.
| Symbol | 5 in a row | 4 in a row | 3 in a row | 2 in a row |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Life ring | 200x | 20x | 5x | 0.5x |
| Hook | 100x | 15x | 3x | |

| Lures and bait | 20x | 5x | 1x | |
| A | 10x | 2.5x | 0.5x | |
| K | 10x | 2.5x | 0.5x | |
| Q | 10x | 2.5x | 0.5x | |

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
Against Splash you give up 0.67 percentage points of RTP for the seasonal theme. Against Halloween 3 you give up 0.46 points for an older version of the same idea, which is the harder trade to justify.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do two sources give different RTP figures for Big Bass Halloween?
Because they genuinely disagree. The official Pragmatic Play game page publishes 96.04%, and the rules panel inside the demo prints 96.06%. Both were read on 12 September 2026, both are first sources, and we print both rather than averaging them or picking the one we prefer. This is the only title in the series where the two disagree.
Why is the maximum win only 2,100x on Big Bass Halloween?
That is the ceiling its own rules panel prints. It is less than half the 5,000x of Big Bass Splash, and the same figure the original Big Bass Bonanza carries, which places this title with the early releases rather than the later ones.
How does the paytable differ from the rest of the series?
All five card symbols pay the same here: 10x for five, 2.5x for four and 0.5x for three. Most titles in the series split them, paying A and K more than Q, J and 10. Big Bass Bonanza is the only other game we found with the flat version.
Should you play this or Big Bass Halloween 3?
Halloween 3 prints a higher RTP, a higher ceiling and more starting free spins. The only argument for the original is the older presentation, because on every figure the games themselves publish, the newer edition is ahead.
