The fisherman's back, and this time he's chasing serious money. Big Bass Splash 1000 is Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom's "supercharged" 2025 take on Big Bass Splash — same lake, same wild fishermen, but the win ceiling has exploded from 5,000x to a massive 25,000x. It joins Pragmatic's "1000" line, where money-fish can now carry values up to 1,000x your bet. Here's the honest rundown on how it plays at Class 777.
Be clear on the trade-off: that bigger ceiling comes with very high volatility and a slightly lower 96.52% RTP. The base game is largely a waiting room for the bonus, but when the free spins land, the boosted money-fish and climbing multiplier can pay enormously. Below I'll cover the money symbols, the three ways into the bonus, how it compares, and how to play it sensibly.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "The '1000' in the name is the upgrade: money-fish can now reach 1,000x, which is what makes the 25,000x dream possible. But that potential is bolted onto very high volatility — the cold runs are longer and harsher than the original Splash. Keep stakes tiny so you can survive to the bonus, and treat 25,000x as a lottery line, not an expectation. Most rounds end modestly."What is Big Bass Splash 1000 and how do the money symbols work?
Big Bass Splash 1000 is a Pragmatic Play pokie on a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 10 fixed paylines. It plays exactly like the rest of the series — money-fish carry cash values, and in the free spins the Fisherman wild collects every fish on screen while the multiplier climbs. The key change is the value range: fish now run from 2x all the way up to 1,000x your stake, which is where the boosted ceiling comes from.
- Studio: Pragmatic Play / Reel Kingdom — released 2025, the "1000" upgrade of Big Bass Splash.
- Grid: 5 reels, 3 rows, 10 fixed paylines.
- RTP: 96.52% top setting — also 95.51% and 94.53% versions, so check the info screen at Class 777.
- Volatility: Very high.
- Max win: 25,000x your stake.
- Money-fish: carry values from 2x up to 1,000x your bet.

- Bet range: roughly $0.10 to $250 a spin.
Here's how the money-fish values now escalate all the way to 1,000x:
Those bigger fish values are the whole point of the "1000" badge — a single fisherman scooping a screen of high-value fish under a multiplier is how the 25,000x dream gets paid. If that ceiling sounds too wild, the original Big Bass Splash (max 5,000x) or the calmer Big Bass Bonanza (max 2,100x) are friendlier, and a low-vol classic like Starburst is gentler still.
What are the three ways into the bonus — and how does it compare?
Big Bass Splash 1000 gives you three routes to the Free Spins: an Ante Bet that improves your trigger odds, plus two Bonus Buy tiers. Here's how they differ:
The Super Buy is the riskiest option of all — a big up-front spend chasing those 1,000x fish. Tempting, but it's an all-in bet. Here's how Big Bass Splash 1000 sits next to the other "1000" pokies at Class 777:
| Metric | Big Bass Splash 1000 | Sweet Bonanza 1000 | Sugar Rush 1000 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTP (standard) | 96.52% | 96.53% | 96.53% | All operator-configurable |
| Volatility | Very high | High | Very high | Patience required |
| Max win | 25,000x | 25,000x | 25,000x | Shared "1000" ceiling |
| Engine | Fish collection | Tumble + multipliers | Cluster + multiplier spots | Same ceiling, different feel |

New to terms like volatility, RTP or Ante Bet? The glossary lays them out in plain English.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "If you use the Ante Bet, remember you're doubling your stake to trigger the bonus more often — it's not free value, just a different way to spend faster. I sometimes use it for the more frequent action, but only after shrinking my base bet to keep the cost per spin in check. Don't stack an Ante Bet on top of an already-big stake; that's how a 'very high volatility' game empties a balance in a hurry."How do you start playing Big Bass Splash 1000 at Class 777?

Who is Big Bass Splash 1000 best for — and how do you play it responsibly?
This one's for experienced, thick-skinned Big Bass fans who want the franchise's biggest ceiling and can ride out very long cold runs on a small stake. Prefer a softer edge? The original Big Bass Splash and Big Bass Bonanza are friendlier, and calmer still are Starburst and Gold Rush.
More to explore at Class 777: for the same huge "1000" ceiling try Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Sugar Rush 1000; for multipliers and tumbles there's Gates of Olympus, Gates of Olympus Super Scatter, Sweet Bonanza, Sugar Rush, Zeus vs Hades and the brutal Razor Shark; for hold-and-win and jackpots there's Wolf Gold, Mega Moolah and Piggy Bank; classics include Book of Dead and Deal or No Deal; and for more themed reels see Aztec Magic Bonanza, Elvis Frog in Vegas, The Dog House, Pin-Up Girls, Frozen Fruit and Ultras.
Whatever you choose, keep it in check. Pokies are entertainment, not income — the house edge never goes away, and a very-high-vol game can run cold for a very long time before anything happens. Set a budget you're genuinely fine to lose, use the deposit limits and reality checks at Class 777, and never chase a loss. If the fun stops, free confidential support is available through Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858), and BetStop, the national self-exclusion register, can block you from all licensed Australian operators at once. 18+ only.
Played with a tiny stake and a firm limit, Big Bass Splash 1000 is a thrilling, high-ceiling ride for series die-hards — just spin it for the adrenaline, not the rent. Check the latest bonus at Class 777 and cast a line on your own terms.
Author's tip from Callum Fraser, Casino Editor & Player Experience Researcher: "Set your loss limit before the first spin — with a 25,000x, very-high-vol game, it's non-negotiable. I put a deposit cap into the account settings at Class 777 the day I sign up — thirty seconds, and it makes the hard call for you when a cold run tempts you to top up 'just once more' for the big fish. The 1,000x catch doesn't owe you anything; protect your bankroll."
