Big Bass Christmas Bash

Big Bass Christmas Bash is a slot game set in a festive lakeside scene, combining holiday cheer with a classic angling theme. Decorations, fish, Santa hats, and wrapped gifts appear among the symbols, while gentle snow and cosy winter colours help create a cheerful, seasonal atmosphere throughout your play.

Game Overview

Big Bass Christmas Bash is a 5-reel, 10-payline online slot developed by Pragmatic Play. Bets can be placed from £0.10 up to a maximum of £3.00 per spin.

Core Mechanics and Rules

Symbols pay from left to right on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel.
Wins are calculated per payline, and only the highest win per line is awarded.
On multiple paylines, all winnings are added together for the total win.
Credit and Bet displays show current balance and bet amount, which can be viewed in either coins or cash by clicking on the labels.

Symbols and Special Features

The Fisherman symbol acts as the Wild during Free Spins. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and appears on any reel in the Free Spins round.
The Scatter symbol can land on all reels and is required to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Money Symbols

Fish symbols also operate as Money symbols, each displaying a random value that can be awarded during Free Spins. Possible values include: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1666x, 2500x, or 5000x the total bet.

Free Spins Feature

Landing 3 or more Scatter symbols activates the Free Spins feature:
- 3 Scatter symbols: 10 free spins
- 4 Scatter symbols: 15 free spins
- 5 Scatter symbols: 20 free spins
If 2 Scatter symbols appear, extra random features may bring an additional Scatter onto the reels.
Scatter symbols may randomly move down by one position for a respin, or may be revealed by a hook.

Free Spins Modifiers

Before Free Spins begin, one or more modifiers may be randomly selected:

More Fish: Additional fish Money symbols appear on the reels.
More Fisherman: More Wild symbols appear on the reels.
More Dynamites, Hooks, and Bazookas: Greater chance of triggering special effects.
Start from Level 2: Free Spins begin at the second level of the progressive feature.
+2 Spins: The feature starts with 2 extra spins, and each retrigger grants 2 additional spins.

Free Spins Mechanics

During Free Spins, each Wild symbol collects the values of all Money symbols on the screen.
All Wilds collected are tracked for the duration of the round.
Each time the fourth Wild is collected, the feature retriggers with 10 additional spins and the Money symbol collection multiplier increases (2x for level two, 3x for level three, and 10x for level four).
Retriggered spins are played after the current batch; multipliers are only active during retriggered spins.
The feature cannot be retriggered beyond the fourth level.
Special reels are used during the Free Spins round.

Random Features During Free Spins

If a Fisherman Wild lands without any fish, random Money symbols may be added to the reels.
If Money symbols land without a Fisherman, a hook may appear to pull a Fisherman Wild onto the reels.
If a Fisherman lands without any fish symbols, a bazooka effect may change all symbols except the Fisherman to other symbols.

Maximum Win

The highest possible win is capped at 5,000x the bet. If this limit is reached during Free Spins, the feature ends immediately and any remaining spins are forfeited.

Ante Bet Option

Players may choose to activate the Ante Bet, raising the bet multiplier to 15x per line. This option increases the likelihood of landing Scatter symbols on the reels.
