Keep A Look Out For Random Hooks!

Big Bass Christmas Bash is the latest release in the Big Bass series by Pragmatic Play and it’s every bit ass fun as you’d expect!

The 5×3 reel engine is situated slap-bang in the middle of a snow-capped lake, with snow ploughs, tinsel-lined tackle boxes and candy cane fishing rods spinning around its 10 fixed paylines. The angler that we’ve come to know and love has had a bit of a makeover with red pants, a green t-shirt and a Christmas hat. You’d be forgiven for thinking he’s just escaped Santa’s workshop!

Ho-Ho-Hoping for Big Wins!

As ever, it’s those scatter fish that grant access to the bonus spins round and you’ll need at least three in view to achieve this. If on any spin a duo of fish appear on the top two rows, the nudge mechanic kicks in. The two scatters will be locked onto the reels for a re-spin, where a third scatter can potentially appear. Not only that, but random fishing hooks can spontaneously appear to pull down a reel to reveal a third scatter to award the bonus round.

Once triggered, the free games bonus will award 10 casino spins – and that’s just to start! There’s a chance you could get your hands on even more spins, but how? Before the free games begin, you will be presented with a chance to alter the bonus round with five different modifiers, these grant more fish, more fishermen, more dynamite, an extra two free games or a starting multiplier at level two with a 2x multiplier.

It’s All A Bit Fishy To Me…

Fish money symbols are collected during the bonus round when landing on the same spin as a fisherman. Watch as he casts his line to reel in all cash bundles! Even more exciting is the fact the fisherman also as a wild during the bonus round and the feature is retriggered with every four wilds collected, thus granting an extra ten free games and adding a multiplier starting from 2x. If fish money symbols land on a spin without a fisherman, there’s a chance that the dynamite, hook or bazooka features can trigger, placing the fisherman on the reels to collect the money in view.

Don’t want to wait for three scatters to drop into view? The free games bonus round can also be triggered with a bonus buy in via the base game for 100x the player’s bet.

Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass series continuesto garner impressive player engagement and we’re delighted to give it a festive spin with the release of Big Bass Christmas Bash.
