Bigger Bass Splash keeps its bonus timing hidden
3 SCATTER symbols start the Free Spins, but how often that bonus round comes is not known in advance. The result of one session is random even with a 96.50% RTP, because the RTP is a long-run figure over very many rounds, not a promise for a single visit.
96.50% is the RTP of the version described on this page. Which RTP version runs in the game you open is shown only in the game rules, so read them before you bet, and check how the version in play differs from the others.
x5,000 is the maximum win of Bigger Bass Splash, a ceiling that is reached very rarely. No player can count on it, and the figure says nothing about how any single session will end, so plan each bet with that in mind.
