Read from the in-game GAME RULES panel, page 1/9 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mission Fishin' mechanically different from Big Bass Splash?
No. Scatters open the round, fisherman wilds sweep up the money symbols shown on the reels, and retriggers add spins and raise the multiplier. The rules panel prints the same 5x3 grid, the same 10 paylines and the same 5,000x ceiling.
What is the speargun symbol worth?
50x the stake for five in a row, in the same tier as the tackle box. Above them the speedboat pays 200x and the dragonfly 100x. The speargun is the symbol specific to this underwater reskin.
How much RTP do you give up choosing Mission Fishin'?
0.21 percentage points. Pragmatic Play publishes 96.50% here against 96.71% for Big Bass Splash, and the rules panel inside the demo confirms the same figure. Volatility is Medium in both.
Why does this game have nine pages of rules?
Its rules panel runs to nine screens, the longest in the series, where Big Bass Splash uses seven. Length reflects how the provider lays the panel out rather than how complex the game is, and the mechanics it describes are the standard series set.
