Symbols

The higher-paying regular symbols are a monster truck, bat, colourful fishing rod and a coffin filled with Halloween sweets. The lower-paying symbols are A, K, Q, J and 10.

Fish Money symbols show different monster-like fish and receive a money value during the Free Spins. The Scatter also features a monster fish and can appear on every reel. A Pumpkin symbol can additionally land on reel 5 during the bonus.

The Fisherman Wild appears during the Free Spins and substitutes for regular paying symbols, but not for Scatter or Fish Money symbols.

Fish Money symbols

Fish Money symbols receive a random value each time they land during the Free Spins. Possible values are 2×, 5×, 10×, 15×, 20×, 25×, 50× and 1,000× the base stake.

When a Fisherman Wild appears during the same spin, it collects all visible Fish Money values. As more Fisherman Wilds are collected during the bonus, the multiplier applied to these Collect wins can increase.

Free Spins

Three Scatters trigger 10 Free Spins, four Scatters award 15 Free Spins and five Scatters start the bonus with 20 Free Spins.

Before the bonus begins, you choose one of 6 pumpkins. It can reveal an upgrade for the Free Spins or No Reward. Possible upgrades can increase the number of Fisherman Wilds, increase Fish Money symbols, start the bonus at level 2, improve the chance of special features or add 2 extra Free Spins.

Pumpkin symbols can also appear on reel 5 during the bonus. When one lands, 6 pumpkins are shown again and an additional upgrade can be added for the remaining Free Spins.

Fisherman Wilds and levels

Each Fisherman Wild that lands during the Free Spins collects all Fish Money symbols visible during the same spin. The Fisherman Wilds are also tracked throughout the full bonus.

Every fourth collected Fisherman Wild awards 10 extra Free Spins and increases the Collect multiplier. At level 2 it is 2×, at level 3 it rises to 3× and at level 4 the maximum multiplier of 10× is reached.

After level 4 has been reached, the bonus can no longer be extended through this meter. Extra spins awarded by a level increase are played using the multiplier of the newly reached level.

Pumpkin upgrades

The Pumpkin feature can provide an upgrade both before the Free Spins begin and during the bonus. Each time it activates, you choose from 6 pumpkins.

Possible upgrades are More Fishermen, Start from Level 2, More Fish, More Treats and +2 Spins. No Reward can also be revealed.

More Fishermen increases the presence of Fisherman Wilds, while More Fish adds more Fish Money symbols. More Treats increases the chance of the Trick or Treat, Spider and Bazooka features. With +2 Spins, the next set receives 2 extra Free Spins and later retriggers also receive 2 additional spins.

Trick or Treat feature

When one or more Fisherman Wilds are on the grid during a Free Spin but no Fish Money symbols have landed, Trick or Treat can activate randomly.

The feature can then add Fish Money symbols to random positions. This gives a spin with a Fisherman Wild but no money symbols another chance to produce a Collect win.

Spider feature

When Fish Money symbols are present but no Fisherman Wild has landed, the Spider feature can activate.

Spiders can then pull random reels upwards to bring Fisherman Wilds onto the grid. This can turn a result with Fish Money symbols into a possible Collect moment.

Bazooka feature

The Bazooka feature can also appear when Fisherman Wilds are on the grid but no Fish Money symbols are present.

When activated, the remaining symbols on the screen, excluding the Fisherman Wilds, are changed into other symbols. This creates another chance for Fish Money symbols to appear and be collected by the Fisherman Wilds already in play.

Two Scatters in the base game

When exactly 2 Scatter symbols land in the base game without a third Scatter, an additional feature can randomly activate to create another chance of reaching the Free Spins.

The existing Scatters can move one position down while the remaining reels spin again, or an extra Scatter can be added randomly after the original spin result. This means a near-trigger can still turn into a full bonus activation.

Ante Bet

Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 includes an Ante Bet that increases the stake multiplier from 10× to 15×.

When this option is active, the chance of Scatter symbols landing is increased. The Ante Bet therefore raises the chance of reaching the Free Spins while leaving the bonus mechanics themselves unchanged.

Maximum win

The maximum win in Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 is 20,000× the stake.

This maximum can be reached through the combination of Fish Money symbols, Fisherman Wilds, Collect multipliers and the different upgrades and surprise features available during the Free Spins.

Why Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 stands out

Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 uses the familiar foundation of the Big Bass series but adds several extra layers around the Free Spins. The well-known Fisherman progression remains, while the Pumpkin upgrades can give each bonus round a different starting point.

The Trick or Treat, Spider and Bazooka features also connect directly to the Collect mechanic. They can intervene when only one half of the combination between Fisherman Wilds and Fish Money symbols is present, creating another opportunity for a collection to happen.

The combination of upgrades, extra Free Spins and a Collect multiplier that can increase to 10× allows the bonus to develop further as it progresses.

Is Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 worth playing?

Big Bass Halloween Splash 1000 is mainly suited to players who already enjoy the Big Bass series and like Free Spins with progressive Collect mechanics. The Halloween setting adds Pumpkin upgrades and several random supporting features.

This Pragmatic Play release combines Fish Money symbols worth up to 1,000×, multipliers up to 10× and a maximum win of 20,000× the stake.
