Big Bass Christmas Bash review

Big Bass Christmas Bash takes players to a frosty version of the Big Bass universe.

Players will find themselves in a quaint village with plenty of Christmas spirit. Walking by snow-covered cottages, players will head to the river to catch some fish.

Fans of the Big Bass franchise will appreciate this slot, especially if they are looking for a little holiday fun.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of Big Bass Christmas Bash blends sleigh bells with a festive tune that will make players feel like they just arrived at a holiday party.

On the reels, players will see many of their favorite Big Bass symbols —with a Christmas twist. For example, the dragonfly symbol now wears a golden party crown and a glowing tail.

Tackle boxes, snowplows, and fishing rods are also among the symbol selection. As usual, brightly hued letters make for eye-catching low-paying symbols.

In the background, players will see crisp blue water and bubbles dividing the reels. Above the surface of the water, there is a snowy town that looks ready for Santa’s arrival.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation of Big Bass Christmas Bash create an uplifting fishing trip atmosphere.

Gameplay

Big Bass Christmas Bash is a five reel, three row slot, with 10 win lines.

The maximum win for this slot is 5,000x the player’s total bet. If this total win is achieved during the Free Spins feature, the feature will conclude and the winnings are awarded.

The Ante Bet feature allows players to choose a bet multiplier that can change how the game behaves. For example, if a bet multiplier of 15x is selected, a greater number of Scatters will be present. This naturally increases the odds that the Free Spins feature will be triggered.

If players wish, they can buy directly into the Free Spins feature for 100x their total bet. Further details about the Free Spins feature can be found below.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol.

All paying Fish symbols also function as Money symbols, taking on a random value between 2x and 5000x during every spin. These values can be won during the Free Spins feature.

When players land at least 3 Scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature begins, starting with 10 free spins. If the feature is triggered by 4 Scatters 15 free spins are awarded, while 5 Scatters awards 20 free spins.

Whenever 2 Scatters land during the base game, there is a chance for a third Scatter to be added by a random feature. These features include:

• All Scatters moving down while the reels without Scatters respin.
• A Hook pulling up one of the reels to potentially reveal a Scatter symbol.

Before the Free Spins feature begins 0 to 5 special modifiers are applied. These modifiers include:

• Adding more Fish symbols to the reels.
• Adding more Wild symbols to the reels.
• Adding more Dynamite, Hooks, and Bazookas to the reels.
• Jumping ahead to Level 2 of the Free Spins feature.

All Wild symbols that land during the Free Spins feature are collected until the conclusion of the round. Every fourth Wild that is collected awards 10 more free spins as well as an increased Money symbol multiplier. This process can repeat for a total of four levels. No further retriggers are possible after this.
