Game Overview
Now fishing might not be my first sport of choice, but there is one thing that I am absolutely sure of, and that is I am very much a fair-weather fisherman. You definitely wouldn’t catch me outside in the pouring rain or gale-force winds casting my line out into a lake. Thankfully both you and I can enjoy a spot of angling from the comfort of our homes in Pragmatic Play’s festive slot titled Christmas Big Bass Bonanza. How is it looking statistic wise? Well, we have 10 fixed paylines, an above average RTP of 96.71%, and a maximum win that reaches 2,100x bet.
Like most of the slots featured in the Big Bass series, there is nothing of note to mention in the base game, with all of the action coming courtesy of the free spins bonus. This is triggered by landing a minimum of three scatter symbols in view, and once active, the world famous Santa Claus will appear on the screen to try and reel in some big wins. Furthermore, he can progress up a win multiplier meter too, with a chance of reaching a whopping 10x multiplier!
I’m pretty sure that you know the drill by now when it comes to these styles of games. So grab your waders; I’ll get the bait, and let’s sail out to the game review, where you can also enjoy some practice spins on our free demo slot of Christmas Big Bass Bonanza.
Christmas Big Bass Bonanza Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Now and again, one of the many game providers comes up with an idea that grabs players’ imagination, and they end up getting some serious mileage out of it. It does make me wonder if Pragmatic Play could have ever dreamt about the amount of success they would receive once they released the original Big Bass Bonanza slot. Since then, we have had a Megaways version of the game, a Bigger Bass addition, and even a Blizzard release, which I guess brings us nicely to the wintery-themed Christmas Big Bass Bonanza that we are taking a look at today. So get your thermals on; we’re going straight into the action.
We like to kick things off in our reviews with pay values, so let’s head over to the paytable, where we find a Christmas bauble at the highest paying symbol at 200x for a five of a kind win. Next is the fishing rod worth 100x bet for all five, followed by the sleigh and tackle box, both of which award 50x bet for a completed payline. Finishing the premium paying symbols, we have the shoals of fish that pay 20x bet if five lands successfully on a payline. Moving on to the lower values, we find these are represented by five royals, all of which will pay 10x bet for a five of a kind win. The game does include a wild, which comes in the form of Santa Claus. This only appears in the base game and will substitute for all regular symbols.
If you want to try some real money play on Christmas Big Bass Bonanza, it will cost you a minimum of €0.10 a spin, with the maximum bet size reaching €250. I have to say I was very impressed with the number of stakes that this game can be played at, with there being plenty of options to choose from under the €2 mark.
Base Game & Modifiers
It’s as standard as online slotting gets for the base game of Christmas Big Bass Bonanza. The slot is played over a 5×3 reel set where 10 fixed paylines are in play throughout all of the action. Land three matching symbols on an active payline starting from the leftmost reel first, and you’ll grab yourself a win. It couldn’t be easier, right?
Christmas Big Bass Bonanza Slot Bonus Features
Triggering the free spins feature on Christmas Big Bass Bonanza will require you to land 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols in view, with this awarding 10, 15, and 20 free spins, respectively. You’ll also begin the bonus with a standard win multiplier of x1 in play.
Free Spins
Once the feature is underway, you are hoping to see the fish with monetary values attached to them land in view simultaneously with Santa Claus. If this happens, Santa will reel in the cash values and add them to your win total. It’s worth noting that multiple Santa symbols can land at once; if this happens, they will all reel in the money symbols on the reels.
You’ll also notice a meter at the top of the reels that you can advance along each time you land a Santa Claus symbol on the reels. The following rewards can be given if you land the corresponding amount of Santa’s in view.
- Land 4 Santa symbols: 10 Extra spins awarded with a x2 win multiplier.
- Land 8 Santa symbols: 10 Extra spins awarded with a x3 win multiplier.
- Land 12 Santa symbols: 10 Extra spins awarded with a x10 win multiplier.
Bonus Buy
To finish off, we have the bonus buy option for players who reside in a jurisdiction where this feature is active. If you’d like to gain instant access to the feature on this slot, it will cost you 100x the current bet.
Christmas Big Bass Bonanza Slot Review Final Thoughts
As far as creating a quick and easy game to get another title into your portfolio goes, Pragmatic Play couldn’t have had an easier task than to make a Christmas version of Big Bass Bonanza, and well, that’s exactly what they did. If you’re a regular player, you will have undoubtedly played at least one of the games in this series, so you’re not really going to be experiencing too much that’s new. The bonus buy option will be a welcome addition for some players and streamers, no doubt, but other than that, it’s pretty much the same, so surely, this is the last game we will see in the Big Bass slot series, right?
