Funk Master

What is Funk Master?

Pragmatic Play and studio partner Reel Kingdom are extending their Big Bass franchise with Big Bass Splash Halloween 1000. It’s a Halloween-themed release scheduled for October 12, 2026.

The more telling point for slots readers isn’t the game itself. It’s what the game represents: the fourth Halloween-branded entry in a single series, which shows just how aggressively Pragmatic Play iterates on its most recognizable slot IP.

Rather than building a new title from the ground up, the release uses Big Bass Splash 1000 as its base. The franchise’s signature Money symbol collection mechanic stays intact while a seasonal skin gets swapped in.
