Game Overview
There really is a fishing themed slot game for every season. You’ve guessed it, folks, that can only mean one thing, and that’s the return of Reel Kingdom with another of their Big Bass games, but what name have they conjured up for this festive release? Drum roll, please, ok thank you and let me introduce you to the Big Bass Christmas Bash slot, a 5-reel game with 10 fixed paylines, a high RTP of 96.71% and a maximum win of 5,000x the bet.
As with every other slot in this franchise of games, we have very little to talk about regarding the base game, with all of the meaty action taking place once three or more scatters land in view and the bonus round is triggered. Before the free spins kick off, our jolly fisherman will cast his line out, hoping to reel you in up to five extra modifiers for you to begin the feature with. Once the spins finally begin, all fisherman symbols that land simultaneously with the fish cash will be collected and added to your current balance. Furthermore, for every 4th fisherman that lands, 10 extra spins will be awarded, and your win multiplier will be increased up to a value of x10.
I know it’s hard to get excited about another slot game in this niche, but perhaps the festive cheer will get the better of you and intrigue you enough to take a deeper look into this game. If it does, feel free to take our Big Bass Christmas Bash slot demo for a few spins; it’s ready to play below.
Big Bass Christmas Bash Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
We can all agree that the Big Bass slot games are fantastic, but surely we have reached the point where enough is enough, don’t you think? I mean, head over to our Pragmatic Play demo page, and you’ll see the Big Bass slots are now in double digits. And then, if you factor in all the other providers who have created these games too, we’re getting swamped down with them, although Nolimit City’s Ugliest Catch slot is a great addition and has already paid out multiple 50,000x jackpot wins. I’m not sure we can quite class Big Bass Christmas bash in that kind of league, but let’s take a better look at the game starting over at the pays section.
The most valuable symbol in the game is the Snowplough, which will pay 400x the bet for a winning combo of five. Next is the Fishing Rod worth 200x, with the Lure and Tackle Box following and sharing equal payouts of 100x bet. Finishing up the premium section, we have the Fish Cash Symbols, which award 40x bet for a completed line of five. The low pays comprise five traditional royal symbols, with the Ace and King both paying 20x bet for a full line of five, and finally, the Queen, Jack, and Ten all valued at 10x for a five of a kind win.
We’ve got an extensive selection of bets in play on Big Bass Christmas Bash, with the minimum price to play starting at €0.10, whilst the standard max bet reaches a high of €250. However, most online casinos will limit the maximum stake to a much lower amount than this, and to be fair, there will not be many players who would even entertain the highs on offer in our demo version.
Big Bass Christmas Bash Slot Base Game
We’re not set to witness anything groundbreaking in the base game, with the slot utilising a standard 5×3 playfield and providing players with 10 fixed paylines to win on. Grabbing some lovely festive lolly will require you to land three matching symbols (two for the Snowplough) on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel first, with the win also needing to connect on an active payline.
Ante Bet
Playing with the Ante Bet feature activated will give you a higher chance of triggering the bonus feature, but it will come at an extra cost of 50% on top of your normal bet.
Big Bass Christmas Bash Slot Bonus Features
If 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatter symbols land in view, the feature will be triggered, and players will be awarded 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Before the feature begins, there is a chance the fisherman can reel up to 5 extra modifiers for you to start with; these are as follows.
- More Fish: This will add more fish symbols to the reels for the bonus.
- More Fisherman: More Wild Fisherman symbols will be present on the reels during the feature.
- More Dynamites: The chances of hitting Dynamites, Hooks and Bazookas in the bonus round will be increased.
- Start from Level 2: You will start the bonus from Level 2 in the progressive feature.
- +2 Spins: The bonus will begin with 2 extra spins, and each re-trigger achieved will also include 2 additional spins.
Free Spins Feature
The Fisherman will also act as a wild symbol during the free spins. Additionally, whenever he lands on the reels simultaneously as a Fish Cash Symbol, he will reel in their values, which will be added to the current bonus payout total. For every 4th Fisherman collected, you will get a re-trigger of 10 free spins and be awarded a win multiplier that can reach a value of 10x.
Randomly, when no win has occurred at the end of a free spin, one of the following may happen.
- If a Fisherman is on the reels, but there are no Fish Cash Symbols, dynamite can land on the reels, which reveals fish symbols, which are then collected.
- A hook symbol can appear randomly when fish symbols are on the reels, but there is no fisherman. The hook will pull up a fisherman to collect all values in view.
- When a Fisherman is on the reels with no fish, a bazooka can appear, blasting all regular symbols and transforming them into different ones.
Bonus Buy
If the bonus buy option is available in your jurisdiction, you can gain instant access to the free spins feature at the cost of 100x the bet.
Pros
- If you love Christmas, you’ll no doubt want to play this version of Big Bass.
Cons
- There are better games in the Big Bass niche with higher max wins.
- Nothing at all new is on offer other than a festive theme.
