Big Bass Christmas Bonanza by Pragmatic Play brings festive cheer to the video slot world, offering players a chance to win across 10 different paylines on a classic 5x3 reel layout. This holiday-themed game aims to spread Christmas joy through its engaging gameplay, where the objective centres around capturing as many lucrative fish symbols as possible during the free spins feature, thanks to the helpful wild Santa Claus symbol.
The game presents a wintry wonderland where the symbols are adorned with holiday motifs to enhance the Christmas spirit. Lower-value symbols are represented by the card ranks from 10 to Ace, each blanketed in snow to fit the festive theme. The higher-value symbols, on the other hand, consist of an array of Christmas-themed fishing equipment including various fish icons, gift-wrapped boxes, Santa's sleighs, fishing rods, and bobbers. Landing a sequence of five premium symbols across the reels can significantly boost your winnings, offering rewards that range from 20 to 200 times the player's bet.
Diving into the special features of Christmas Big Bass Bonanza reveals a treasure trove of opportunities to snag extra wins. The free spins feature stands out as the main attraction, activated by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on the reels, which then rewards the player with 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. During this feature, fish symbols each come with assigned monetary values. When these fish symbols and the wild symbol depicting Santa Claus appear on the reels simultaneously, Santa collects the values on behalf of the player, potentially leading to substantial rewards.
Furthermore, as part of this festive bonanza, wild symbols are accumulated each time they appear during the free spins. Collecting four wild symbols triggers a retrigger of the feature, not only granting an additional 10 free spins but also increasing the win multiplier that applies to the money symbols. The multipliers for the first, second, and third retrigger escalate to x2, x3, and finally x10, amplifying the potential for big wins. However, it's worth noting that once the feature has been retriggered to this extent, further retriggers are off the table.
