Big Bass Splash 1000 boosts Pragmatic Play’s hit series with 1,000x symbols, stacked modifiers, and a huge 25,000x win ceiling.

Pragmatic Play Pushes the Big Bass Franchise Further With Big Bass Splash 1000

Pragmatic Play Continues to Build on Its Success with Big Bass Franchise Release Big Bass Splash 1000. Pragmatic Play is continuing to develop the success of what is arguably one of the company's best-known and successful slot brands, Big Bass. The slot brand has seen continued growth and will see another addition to it with the launch of Big Bass Splash 1000. This is a further step towards Pragmatic Play developing its large portfolio of games into a number of high-paying and high-feature-rich games.

In addition, the release follows the recent push by the provider to create a number of larger max multiplier games. Big Bass has grown to become one of the strongest performing slot brands globally due to the combination of a fun and accessible fishing-themed game, and exciting free-spins based gameplay. As well as building upon the established brand, Big Bass Splash 1000 will be placed among the highest volatility games available.

To this end, the slot will offer money symbols valued up to 1000 times the base bet (which is likely to increase the overall return-to-player), and a maximum possible win of 25000 times the base bet. These figures ensure that the game sits firmly at the upper-end of the volatility spectrum; where players are increasingly looking for slots with high win-potential over time rather than smaller winnings regularly.

The bonus round is central to gameplay. The triggering mechanism requires three, four or five scatter symbols landed anywhere on screen. When triggered, ten, fifteen or twenty free spins are awarded depending on how many scatter symbols were landed. Prior to beginning the free spins round, the game randomly reveals five upgrades to the player.

Depending on these upgrades the free spins may have additional spins added to them; instant cash awards given prior to starting; wilds made active during the bonus-round; special symbols enhanced; and/or, potentially begin at a higher progressive level. Although relatively similar to previous versions, this upgrade element does provide excitement and anticipation to the player before they start spinning.

A popular yet modified "fisherman" wild collector system governs the slot's ability to generate winning combinations. Collectors can contain money symbols with values of up to 1000 times the base bet when a fisherman wild lands on the same spin. For each fisherman wild that lands, a spot in a meter located above the reel-set is filled. Once four collectors have been accumulated, additional free spins are awarded along with a multiplier from two to ten times. This encourages longer bonus rounds for sustained play rather than simply waiting for one winning spin. In addition, Big Bass Splash 1000 offers a 'Super Free Spins Buy' feature for 450x the selected bet.

 This allows players to purchase a greater chance of obtaining the extremely rare golden money symbol, which contains the largest prize amount of 1000 times the base bet. While bonus-buy functionality still faces regulatory challenges in various jurisdictions around the world, it undoubtedly appeals to those who want immediate access to powerful features.

On an industrial scale, Big Bass Splash 1000 fits neatly into Pragmatic Play's broader "1000" series strategy. Recent examples include Big Bass Bonanza 1000 and Wisdom of Athena 1000 Xmas and demonstrate Pragmatic Play has clearly opted to expand multipliers beyond 10x, deepen bonus layers and make clear the max win amounts. It appears that Pragmatic Play have developed their long term strategy for creating slots content rather than pursuing a fad. Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, commented that both the Big Bass branded slots and super-charged "1000" branded slots are currently gaining traction amongst a wide demographic of players in numerous regulated markets.

Irina added that Big Bass Splash 1000 combines elements of both lines by including bonus modifiers, multipliers of up to 1000x and a significant 25000x max win amount. In terms of positioning itself in the saturated slot market where recognizable franchises and headline numbers are important in attracting new players, Big Bass Splash 1000 represents a deliberate development. By maintaining the familiarity of the Big Bass brand whilst greatly increasing its maximum win potential, Pragmatic Play solidifies its position as a developer capable of producing high impact slots competing at the very top end of the iGaming industry.
