Big Bass Christmas Bash

If you’re tired and sick of the fire cracking as you sit in the warmth of your home for Christmas, then toss an eye out and start your reeling entertainment with the Big Bass Christmas Bash online slot.

With a handful of fish money prizes and an extraordinary Free Spins round, software provider Reel Kingdom invites you to enjoy Christmas in a slightly different environment and net prizes of up to 5,000x the stake.

Theme and Symbols

Despite being fairly fresh in the iGaming Industry, Reel Kingdom managed to merge Christmas and Fishing themes quite well. A small river between coasts covered in snow and Christmas decorations is where the action takes place.

Santa driving a Snowplow, Fishing Rod, Fly, Tackle Box, Fish and A-10 royals make up for the regular paying symbols in this online edition. The Fisherman is the Wild Icon but only appears during the bonus game.

The duty of the Scatter belongs to the Bass.

Betting Options and Features

Nothing crazy when it comes to the title’s setup, it comes equipped with 10 lines spread across 5 reels and 3 rows. Punters get to wager their stakes anywhere from 0.10 - 250.00 credits per spin, which is a range full of opportunities for all kinds of rollers.

Moreover, the title’s RTPis 96.71%, above average, while the highest win caps out at 5,000x the stake. It is definitely not the best or the largest catch we’ve seen lately but it sure does follow the right path.

When it comes to variance, make sure to wear your heavy gear as you’ll be facing high variance.

Money Symbol - The Fish Symbols are also Money Icons that take on a random value which can be won only during the Free Spins. The values range from 2x-5,000x the bet.

Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins respectively. However, should you hit only 2 Scatters, then there’s a chance for another one to be brought onto the reels by a random feature.

• If the Scatters on the screen can move down one position without leaving the reel area, a respin is rewarded where the reels with Scatters move one position down and the reels without Scatters respin.
• A hook can appear to pull one of the reels up and reveal another Scatter.

Before the feature begins, 0-5 modifiers that apply to the subsequent round are randomly generated and applied: 

• More Fish - More Fish Symbols appear during the bonus.

• More Fisherman - Mmore Wilds are present on the reel strips during the feature.

• More Dynamites, Hooks and Bazookas - During the feature, the chance to hit Dynamite, Hook or Bazooka spin feature is increased.

• Start From Level 2 - The round begins from the second level.

• +2 Spins - 2 additional Free Spins are awarded at the start and 2 more to every retrigger.

Once in, each Wild Symbol collects all the values from Money Icons in view and get collected until the end of the feature. For every 4 Wild Symbols collected, 10 more Free Spins and the multiplier for Money Symbol collection increases to x2 for the second level, x3 for the third and x10 for the final, 4th, level.

To continue with the good news, there’s a chance, at random, when there are Fisherman Icons on the screen but no Fish Symbols for Fish Icons to appear in random positions via the Dynamite spin.

If the case is the other way around, then there’s a chance for the Hook feature to trigger and pull a random reel up, bringing Fisherman Symbols onto the screen. Finally, once again completely at random, if there are Fishermans but no Fish Icons, the Bazooka may occur and change all the symbols from the screen ( Fisherman excluded ).

Ante Bet - Rollers can also increase their stakes in order to boost their chances of triggering the Free Spins feature.

To conclude this paragraph, the Buy Free Spins feature comes at a cost of 100x the stake and takes you directly to the bonus game.

Wrapping Up

It might seem confusing at first as there are many things going on in the bonus game but as soon as you give it a spin or two, it all adds up for an exciting gameplay experience and a Christmas like never before.
