Big Bass Christmas Bash Slot Review

This is the worst time of the year for me. And I’m not even talking about the Christmas horror that gets dusted off annually to fleece people out of their hard-earned money. 💸

Nope, what’s getting my goat today is reviewing yet another re-skinned game with an Xmas theme slapped on it. I’m specifically talking about Big Bass Christmas Bash slot from Pragmatic Play. 🎣🐠

But there seem to be players out there who want to get into the Yuletide spirit and play their favorite game replete with elves, fat beardy dudes in red coats, and jingly bells. 🎅

Oh well, if you can’t beat em and all that.

Gameplay

Clearly y’all love fishing because Big Bass Christmas Bash slot is the 10th version of the series we have on BitStarz. This time our lumbersexual elf is going ice fishing and you’re invited!

First things first: HIT THAT MUTE BUTTON!! Unless you’re a Mariah Carey fan who plays her soul-searing crap every year at this time. In that case, why not crank up the soundtrack? I’m sure your neighbors will appreciate you.

Looks-wise, Big Bass Christmas Bash slot takes the form you’d expect. We’re underwater in a frozen lake with fishing poles, tackle boxes, and even Santa on a snow plow. As per usual, the fisherman Wild is here and it replaces all symbols other than Scatters.

The game has 10 paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. of 96.71%, and a high volatility rate. The largest multiplier is 5,000x but the big ticket item is the $350,000 payout you could clinch. All currencies – other than the Japanese yen – are available.

Features

MONEY SYMBOLS:

Once again, the fish are the Money symbols, and with each spin, they’ll take a random value which you can win during the Free Spins round. These values could be 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, 1,666x, 2,500x, or 5,000x the total bet.

FREE SPINS:

Catching 3, 4, or 5 Scatters gets the job done and you’ll enter the Free Spins round with 10, 15, or 20 spins. But even if you only hit 2 Scatters, there’s still a chance you could land that elusive third one.

You see, there’s this thing where if a Scatter can move randomly down a position without leaving the grid, it will trigger a re-spin.

It works like this: the reels with the Scatters move one down, as I mentioned, while the others (reels without Scatters) will spin – that might reveal the third Scatter you’ll need for the Free Spins round.

Before the Free Spins kick off, up to 5 modifiers can come into play:

  • More fish: This is self-explanatory, yeah?
  • More fishermen: In other words, more Wilds
  • More dynamite, hooks, bazookas: Your chances of hitting one of these symbols (which I’ll explain in a mo’) increases
  • Start from level 2: So yeah, there are levels in this game and this modifier means you’ll jump to the second one. I’ll also explain this shortly
  • +2 spins: The round starts with 2 or more extra Free Spins and 2 more spins are added with each re-trigger

During Free Spins, each Wild collects the values of the visible Money symbols. Wilds are also collected in the meter above the reels – which is how you go from one level to the next – and every fourth Wild that lands re-triggers the feature.

Not only will you get 10 more spins but the Money symbol multiplier increases to 2x for level 2, 3x for level 3, and 10x for level 4.

Now to explain the dynamite, hook, and bazooka.

When fishermen Wilds are on the reels but no fish, Money symbols could appear at the end of Free Spins in random positions thanks to the dynamite feature.

Or you could see a bazooka that will transform all visible symbols – other than Wilds – into some other symbol.

Conversely, when fish are on the reels but no fishermen, a hook can randomly appear on a reel to pull a fisherman Wild onto the grid.

ANTE BET:

Toggle this option on and you’ll have a greater chance of landing Scatters, and thus a better chance to get into the Free Spins feature. It will increase your stake by 50%.

BUY BONUS:

You can buy your way into the Free Spins round for 100x your bet.

Performance

I encountered no issues while testing Big Bass Christmas Bash slot.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.10 and is capped at $70. Combine the latter with the 5,000x multiplier you could clinch in the Free Spins round, and you’ll have hooked a payout worth $350,000.

Conclusion

If you thought Big Bass Christmas Bash slot looks familiar, you’d be right. The game is a reskin of Big Bass Splash slot that came out in 2022.

So, what are the differences between the games? Xmas theme aside, the only differences are that this version’s payout has dropped from $400,000 to $350,000 and the most you’ll need to bet is $70 instead of $80. That’s it.

Why would you play this version rather than the OG one? The only reason I can think of is that you love Xmas so much that it makes you want to stuff a stocking. Or if you’re an accountant who wants to save ten bucks per bet (although you’ll win less if you land the top prize).

But honestly, I don’t see the point. This is just one of those typical reskins that studios thrust on us at specific times of the year.

Having said that, when Big Bass Christmas Bash slot is on song during Free Spins and you’re increasing levels, collecting Wilds and multipliers, and scooping modifiers, things can get very lucrative.

And Free Spins triggered often enough for me that I didn’t bother with the Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature. or Buy Bonus much. Play this or the OG version; it’s all the same to me. But if you’re into fishing-themed games, then you should at least play one of them because they’re real good.
