Big Bass Christmas Bash

Like Big Bass Bonanza and all other Big Bass slots, you play on 5 x 3 reels plus there are 10 paylines. Winning combos are made with 3 or more the same symbols from left to right.

Play at all new online casinos with a bet of $0.10 and a maximum bet of $250 per spin. However, you can choose to activate the Ante Bet feature, which increases your bet by 50%. This does significantly increase your chances of triggering the free spins feature of Big Bass Christmas Bash.

The maximum prize to be won in Big Bass Christmas Bash is equal to 5,000 times the bet. Furthermore, high volatility and a payout percentage of 96.71% apply.

Catching fat fish

Big Bass Christmas Bash is all about catching fish. And preferably as fat as possible. In order to do this, you have to turn fish and anglers on the playing field at the same time.

After all, only a real fisherman can catch fat fish in these harsh conditions.

However: fisherman symbols in Big Bass Christmas Bash can only land during the free spins feature. So during the base game, fish symbols are of pretty little use to you, as you cannot collect their displayed prize money.

What is the best gift you ever received at Christmas!?

Fish symbols

Fish symbols show a cash prize in Big Bass Christmas Bash when they land. This is a prize of 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,666, 2,500 or even 5,000 times your bet. So this cash prize shown can only be earned during the free spins feature, but you can still make winning combinations with fish symbols during the basic game. Their displayed cash prize then plays no significant role at all.

Free Spins

Before you can collect the fat cash prizes from fish symbols, you must first unlock the free spins feature of Big Bass Christmas Bash. You do this by spinning 3 or more scatter symbols. This will result in the following number of free spins:

• 3 scatters yield 10 free spins
• 4 scatters get you 15 free spins
• 5 scatters get you 20 free spins

Even if you spin 2 scatters at the same time during the basic game, there is a possibility that you will be rewarded with free spins:

Namely, a hook may appear on the screen, which then reveals a 3rd scatter on the playfield
Another way to earn that 3rd scatter only applies if the 2 scatters did not land on the bottom row. This is because in that case, you will receive a respin in which the 2 scatters are moved down one position. The reels on which there is no scatter then spin again.

Big Bass Christmas Bash vs. 4 other Big Bass slots

Only during the free spins feature can fisherman symbols appear on the playfield. Each fisherman symbol that you spin collects the prize money from all fish symbols present on the playfield, but in addition, in Big Bass Christmas Bash it also acts as a wild symbol. So the fisherman symbol is very important for several reasons. However, before the free spins feature actually starts, 0 to 5 of the following modifiers are awarded to the player:

• Additional fish are added to the reels, increasing the likelihood of fish symbols landing on the playfield during a free spin
• Extra fishermen are added to the reels, making it more likely that fisherman symbols will land on the playing field during a free spin
• The chance of dynamite, bazookas and hooks being activated is significantly higher
• You start the free spins feature at level 2
• You will receive 2 additional free spins at the start and will also receive 2 additional free spins each time you level up the free spins feature

How many and which modifiers are awarded is determined completely at random. You level up the free spins feature by spinning fisherman symbols (wilds). Every 4 wilds collected will do this. You start the free spins feature of Big Bass Christmas Bash at level 1, unless the level 2 modifier is assigned to you.

Each time the free spins feature increases in level, you will receive 10 additional free spins. In addition, the multiplier also increases, which is applied to the prize money from fish symbols you manage to cash in. This runs from x1 in Level 1 to x10 in Level 4.

Well you may be asking yourself: what exactly do dynamite, bazookas and hooks do? The answer is important to know because they can turn a hopeless spin into a very profitable spin.

• Dynamite can be activated at any time during the free spins feature if a fisherman symbol is visible, but no fish symbols are present on the playfield. It can then cause fish symbols to appear on the playfield.
• Hook can be activated at any time during the free spins feature if there are fish symbols visible, but no fisherman symbol on the playing field. It can then cause 1 or more fisherman symbols to appear on the playing field.
• Bazooka causes all symbols on the playing field – except fisherman symbols – to change into another random symbol. However, this feature can only be triggered if there is a fisherman symbol on the playing field, but no fish symbols are present.
