Bubble Up! Guide: Rules, Frame Feature, Free Spins Modifiers and Super Spins

By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review

Bubble Up! is an underwater slot from Pragmatic Play built around one idea: pufferfish Money symbols only pay when a bubble frame lands around them. The frames can grow, double up and multiply each other, and five jackpot tiers from Mini to Maxi sit above the reels.

We played the demo at a $2 base bet, bought the free spins twice, tried every Special Bet and read all eight rules pages. Every figure here comes from those pages or from our own screenshots.

How Bubble Up! works

The game uses a 6x6 grid with 40 fixed paylines. Symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win is paid per line. The game is labelled high volatility.

At a $2 bet the paytable shows these prizes for 6, 5, 4 and 3 of a kind. The clownfish pays $50, $20, $10 and $3 (25x down to 1.5x the bet). The yellow angelfish pays $30, $10, $6 and $2.50, the pink fish $20, $8, $5 and $2, and the green fish $15, $6, $4 and $1.50. The seahorse and shrimp pay $7.50, $3, $2 and $1. The conch and snail shell pay $5, $2.50, $1.50 and $0.50, and the pink and yellow starfish pay $5, $2, $1 and $0.50.

The pufferfish Money symbols also pay on lines, from just 2 in a row: $0.50 for 2 up to $10 for 6 at a $2 bet. Their real job is the cash value printed on each one, covered below.

Money symbols, jackpots and the Frame Feature

On every spin each Money symbol takes a random value, which you only win if it lands inside a frame. The possible values are 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7.5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x (Mini), 40x (Minor), 80x (Major), 200x (Grand), 400x, 800x, 2000x or 10000x (Maxi) the base bet. At $2 that puts the Mini at $40 and the Maxi at $20,000.

In the base game a frame of 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6 can appear at random in a random position. Sometimes a second frame appears on the same spin. Where two frames overlap, any Money symbol in the shared area gets a random 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x or 10x multiplier. All Money values inside a frame are added together and paid.

The Scatter is a pearl bubble marked FS and can land on any reel.

Free Spins and the coin pick

Hit 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters to win 6 free spins with 1, 2, 3 or 4 modifiers. Before the round, eight coins appear. You flip them until you reveal two matching names, and each matched pair becomes an active modifier. The four modifiers are:

MORE (pufferfish): more Money symbols on the reel strips. MORE (pearl): more Scatter symbols on the reel strips. LEVEL UP: the round starts with the frame already at 3x3. DUAL: two frames are guaranteed on every free spin.

At least one frame appears on every free spin, and special reels are in play. Every Scatter that lands goes into a trail above the reels. Each 3 collected grows the frame one size, from 2x2 up to the 6x6 maximum, and adds 2 more free spins. The bigger frame applies from the next spin, and if more than 3 Scatters land on one spin you get every upgrade they earn.

Buy Feature

Buy Feature costs 100x the base bet ($200 at $2) and guarantees 3 or more Scatters on the triggering spin. Its RTP is 96.51%.

We bought it twice. Both times the coin pick gave the pearl MORE modifier. The first round grew to a 3x3 frame, ran for 8 free spins and paid $11.00, about 5.5x the bet, a heavy loss on a $200 buy. The second round pushed the frame to 5x5, ran for 12 free spins and paid $210.00, about 105x the bet. Two rounds is nowhere near an average; they just show how wide the spread is.

Special Bets: Ante, Super Spin 1 and Super Spin 2

The Special Bets button offers three stake modes. The rules list each as a bet multiplier against the normal 20x, so here they are as costs per spin at a $2 base bet.

Ante Bet costs 1.5x the base bet ($3). Free spins won with it reveal 2, 3, 4 or 4 modifiers for 3, 4, 5 or 6 Scatters, so a three-Scatter trigger gets two modifiers instead of one. We played 3 Ante spins and won nothing.

Super Spin 1 costs 20x the base bet ($40). One frame of random size is guaranteed on every spin, but Scatters cannot land and free spins cannot trigger. In 3 spins we got $0, $24 and $98; the $98 spin had a Mini jackpot symbol inside the frame.

Super Spin 2 costs 100x the base bet ($200) and guarantees two frames of random sizes on every spin, again with no Scatters. Our first spin paid nothing. The second covered most of the left side in pufferfish, including Grand, Major, Minor and Mini labels, and paid $504.50, about 252x the base bet. Every Special Bet mode has a listed RTP of 96.51%.

RTP, max win and bet range

The theoretical RTP is 96.52% in normal play and 96.51% with the Ante Bet, Super Spin 1, Super Spin 2 or the Buy Feature. The maximum win is 10,000x the bet; when a round reaches it, the round ends at once and remaining features or free spins are forfeited. The demo's bet range runs from $0.20 to $2,000.00, and it opens with a $100,000 demo balance in US dollars.

Our verdict

Bubble Up! is more involved than its cartoon look suggests. The line pays are modest, so nearly everything rides on frames landing over the right pufferfish, and the free spins add a real build-up with Scatters that keep stretching the frame. Our buys showed both ends: one round barely returned 5x, the other passed 100x. The Super Spins are the most unusual part. They skip free spins entirely and sell you guaranteed frames, at the same 96.51% RTP. That suits players who want constant frame action, but at 20x or 100x per spin they burn through a balance fast. Try them in the demo first.
