Big Bass Splash builds on the success of the original Big Bass Bonanza, with a few fresh twists. It keeps the classic free spins round with fisherman wilds but adds random modifiers before the bonus starts.

It's a game that's best suited to experienced players, or anyone who enjoys high-risk, high reward. It has simple mechanics and clear payout paths.

Big Bass Splash slot graphics, sound, & gameplay mechanics
4
Big Bass Splash uses bright, cartoon-style visuals that stay true to the fishing theme. The underwater backdrop is clean and colourful. The symbols – fish, rods and trucks – keep it playful.
The soundtrack is upbeat. There are occasional twangs that fit the outdoorsy vibe. It does feel repetitive during long sessions, though. The slot loads quickly and runs smoothly on desktop and mobile. Button placement is intuitive, and spins stay responsive, even on an older device.
The visual design and audio won't win awards for innovation, but they get the job done with minimal distraction.

The fish symbols come with cash values. These become key during the bonus game when they're collected by the wild fisherman.
Scatters are the big green fish. These trigger the free spins when you land at least three.
To win on the base game, you need to align matching symbols from left to right across one of the 10 paylines.

Big Bass Splash slot RTP, payout and volatility
Big Bass Splash has an RTP of 96.71%. This is slightly above average for UK online slots. This figure suggests a fair return over time. However, it should be viewed as a long-term average – it's not a guarantee.
The game has high volatility. This means wins may be less frequent. The potential payouts, though, can be much larger when they do happen. This game is best suited to players who want a little risk to increase excitement. It's also suitable for those in it for the long game.
The maximum win is 5,000x your stake. There are no progressive jackpots but the bonus round does offer potentially strong prizes if you get the right modifiers.
Big Bass Splash bonus features and free spins
4
You can trigger the bonus feature by landing three or more scatter symbols (the Big Bass logo) anywhere on the reels. This activates the free spins. Players start with up to 20 spins, depending on how many scatters you land.
Before the bonus round starts, you might see modifiers awarded. These include extra fish symbols, more fisherman wilds, additional free spins and level-ups. The features offered increase your chances of getting a larger win.
During the free spins, the fisherman wild collects cash values attached to fish symbols. Every fourth fisherman retrigger will add more spins and boost the multiplier. This goes from 2x to 3x and finally to 10x on the fourth level-up. It can escalate quickly, especially with multiple modifiers in play!
There is no jackpot or sticky wild here. But the layered progression system and potential multipliers give it strong replay value. It's a fresh twist for those familiar with the Big Bass format – and it keeps players engaged throughout each stage.

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim
Kevin Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted a young actor at a party at The Savoy hotel and then told him 'Don't worry about it', court documents for the High Court legal claim suggest. Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production.

Deflated families brand balloon festival a 'rip-off' after £20-a-head event
Deflated families have criticised a 'rip-off' balloon festival after shelling out £20-a-head for the event. The Balloons and Tunes festival promises to offer 'high-quality events' which 'showcase a vibrant mix of attractions', including 'spectacular Hot Air Balloon shows', but has received mixed reviews. Founded in 2012 and dubbed 'the UK's Freshest Hot Air Balloon & Music festival', the festival takes place across multiple cities across Britain from June to September and is set to be attended by hundreds of eager festivalgoers.. However, some visitors to the often sold-out festival have been left far from impressed and are even demanding a refund, with one grandmother branding the £20-a-head spectacle a 'rip-off' and an 'insult' to other balloon shows. Meanwhile another festivalgoer said that despite being the main event, the balloons were unable to be inflated when they attended due to the 'warm and sunny' weather. Carole Rabbetts, 75, said that her grandchildren had been left deeply 'upset at the lack of balloons', with just two balloons inflated during the afternoon in Romsey, Hampshire on July 19.. While other balloons were later inflated, the family had to leave and missed the delayed spectacle, leaving the grandmother feeling she had been shortchanged. Adding that the sold-out festival was as an 'insult to the people who do it properly', she said: 'It was supposed to be a balloon festival, and when we went there, there were only two balloons. 'And one of them was only inflated about 20 minutes before we left, about 4.30-5pm. 'You get other festivals where there are hundreds of hot air balloons and it is free to go and see them.' Ms Rabbetts, who also described the food as 'absolutely disgusting' and 'costing the earth', further remarked: 'I don't think I've ever paid to go into a funfair. It was £20 to go into a funfair - that is a rip-off. 'My son had one of their hot dogs, which cost him the earth, and he said, 'Mum, this is foul. I'm only eating it because I'm hungry, but in other circumstances, I would have thrown it in the bin!' Due to her poor experience and what she described as 'absolutely pathetic' stunt shows, Ms Rabbetts said that she would not be attending the event next year. Meanwhile, other disappointed festivalgoers took to Facebook to express their similar outrage at the 'awful event'. One commenter described there being a significant queue to get 'WARM' drinks', while also further claiming that two deflated balloons were not used due to the weather. Another furious Facebook user said that while they had initially been 'really looking forward' to the event, the fireworks and balloon rides had since been cancelled due to winds above 10mph, with no refunds on offer. On July 4, the festival announced that the event, then hosted in Cornwall, had been forced to cancel their fireworks display that the had been advertising for several months prior to the sold-out event. Despite complaints from punters, Balloons and Tunes UK said in the comments of a Facebook post on the day of the event that it did not have the licence to display the fireworks. Other attendees to the Romsey event said that the name of the festival had been deceptive, with there a 'huge feeling of being ripped off' as a result. One commenter said: 'Balloons were half an hour later than advertised, and my daughter was shattered, so we had to leave after five minutes'. Another also expressed their fury by adding that there were 'hardly any tunes and no balloons' and that the event had been 'so unorganised it was embarrassing'. As a result of their negative experience, they branded the festival 'a complete joke', while one unhappy visitor said they had been 'left disappointed' by the 'overpriced' event that was a 'waste of money'. Previous attendees have also raised complaints about the significant cost of parking and 'extortionate' food and drink prices. Despite the bouts of negative feedback, one local resident from the small town of Romsey described the unique launching of the balloons as 'a spectacle not seen in the town for some time'. Meanwhile, another individual who had attended the Cornwall event wrote: 'Had a wonderful day. Was gutted the weather meant balloons couldn't go up but safety first, typical Cornish drizzle all day but has a wonderful family day out! Will be going again.' Others also expressed sympathy for the festival, adding that 'unfortunately, they can't control the weather for the balloons to go up', but they had been appreciative of the staff 'making the effort with a fire show at the end of the night'. Another visitor to the Cornwall event spoke favourably of their experience, stating: 'Had a great evening, we arrived later on because of the weather forecast but the rain held off most of the evening. 'The monster truck show was cut short and balloons couldn't fly, both due to weather, but the music was fantastic and we had great food and danced. We will be back for the balloons next year.' On their website, Balloons and Tunes state that 'ballooning is a wholly weather dependent activity', adding that 'if the weather is not suitable, they may not be able to inflate properly or safely take off'. Last July, the inaugural Northumberland Balloon Festival failed to take off with visitors calling it 'atrocious', 'comical' and a rip-off. Described as the UK's largest Hot Air Balloon Festival, it promised up to 25 balloons for Saturday night's 'big balloon launch' and huge tethered balloons for photo opportunities throughout the three-day festival. However, visitors instead said that they arrived at Tynedale Rugby Club in Corbridge to find just four hot-air balloons in a muddy field and an Elton John tribute act singing Status Quo. One visitor even compared it to 'Potter's Pink Palace' from Phoenix nights. The festival, organised by Richardson's Amusements LTD and involving Exclusive Ballooning, was been slammed as a rip-off, with families complaining a lack of communication. The event was been likened to a 'funfair with a few balloons tacked on at the end of the day,' rather than a balloon festival, with hundreds of comments on the event's Facebook page calling for refunds on the £15 tickets removed. A post on the Northumberland Balloon Festival Facebook page said: 'The heavy rain overnight causing wet ground conditions combined with some forecast potential drizzle during flying time this evening means we don't expect to be flying this evening. 'However, the teams on site are confident that the shelter on the launch site will allow us to inflate balloons throughout the afternoon. We have a number of SkySafari unique animal balloons on site and all of these are scheduled to make an appearance at some point today. 'These include Puddles and Splash the famous penguins along with Tall Steve, the world's tallest penguin. We also have the Wallace and Gromit Moon Rocket here with us which will be out at some point. Finally, if conditions allow, we have a surprise balloon to inflate just in time for the football which is on the big screen.'
