About Reel Kingdom
Reel Kingdom designs online slots, and Pragmatic Play releases them to casinos. Their first game together came out in May 2020.
A month later, Pragmatic Play called Reel Kingdom a recently established studio founded by industry veterans who had designed land-based casino games, with a portfolio offered only through Pragmatic Play.
Pragmatic Play put the team's combined design experience at more than 100 years then. Reel Kingdom's own site now says over 150.
Neither company gives a founding year or a head office. Big Bass Splash, released in June 2022, is the Reel Kingdom slot we cover in full.

Is Reel Kingdom Part of Pragmatic Play?
Neither company says Pragmatic Play owns Reel Kingdom. Pragmatic Play's own news explains the link as a partnership: Reel Kingdom designs the games, and Pragmatic Play runs them and supplies them to casinos.
Reel Kingdom's site carries Pragmatic Play's logo in its footer and links to Pragmatic Play's Gibraltar licence.
The two even publish the same launch news under their own names. Reel Kingdom's announcement of 23 June 2022 says it released Big Bass Splash "in conjunction with Pragmatic Play". Pragmatic Play's version of the same text names only Pragmatic Play.
Our Big Bass Splash page follows the studio's credit: it lists Reel Kingdom as the maker and Pragmatic Play as the platform it runs on.
How Does Big Bass Splash Pay?
Big Bass Splash
Big Bass Splash is the fifth game in the Big Bass series: 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, at €0.10 to €250 a spin.
Fish carry cash values of up to 5,000x the bet, but those values pay only in free spins. Three, four or five scatters start 10, 15 or 20 free spins, where each fisherman wild collects every fish on screen.
Every fourth wild adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier to 2x, then 3x, then 10x. Up to five random modifiers, such as more fish or two extra spins, can boost the round before it starts.
Two scatters in the base game can set off a respin or a hook that pulls in the third.
The RTP is 96.71%, also when you buy the round for 100x the bet, and volatility is medium. Wins stop at 5,000x the bet.

Our Verdict on Reel Kingdom
Reel Kingdom is the studio behind Big Bass Splash. It designed the game and Pragmatic Play runs it, which is why you often see both names on the same slot.
Big Bass Splash shows the style: a plain base game, with the action saved for free spins. Its 96.71% RTP and medium volatility suit players who want features without the swings of a high-volatility slot.
Every slot keeps a house edge, so try the demo first and set a budget before you play for money.
