Christmas Big Bass Bonanza Review
Big Bass Bonanza has just received a Christmas makeover and is looking pretty merry for a fishing-themed online game. The immediate, and pretty much the only, change is visible in the graphics with symbols now either wearing a Christmas hat or being replaced with festive pieces. The highest paying symbol, for example, now is a bauble, and the bait box is filled with candy cane. Oh, also, there are jingle bells now ringing in the background, and Santa has gone into full fishing mode. Other than that, Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom kept the slot in its original format, with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. Let’s just hope all that glitter will help you catch some of the big fish.

Christmas Big Bass Bonanza Bonus Features
We’ve established that this is in no way an original title, but there’s no harm in turning a hit release into a seasonal slot if it can bring some merriment into the darkest of seasons. As such, the bonus features here will be identical to the debut Big Bass Bonanza with wilds and money symbols appearing in the free spins bonus round. The meter feature with extra spins and multipliers remains unharmed, as is the max potential, so it’s all is good in the hood. Let’s inspect all slot features in detail.
Wilds
Our regular fisherman wild from the previous editions has been replaced with jolly Santa, who’s now in charge of winning combinations for the festive season. If he lands as part of a possible win during free spins, he’ll substitute for all regular symbols except scatters to make that win happen.
Scatters
The big bass scatter is looking very dapper in his red Christmas hat. Find 3 of these guys anywhere on the reels, and you’ll activate the free spins bonus round. If you catch a school of 4 or 5 big fish, you’ll get more free spins to enjoy your bonus round with.
Free Spins
Triggered with 3, 4 or 5 big bass scatters, thefree spins round awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, respectively. All the fish symbols you’ve seen in the base game now have their values activated for winning instant cash. Spot Santa on the ice together with the fish, and he’ll catch them all for you and add their values to your bankroll. Additionally, a wild meter will appear above the reels, and every 4th Santa wild collected will award an extra 10 free spins alongside a 2x, 3x and 10x multiplier. In some cases, when a Santa wild appears on the reels all by himself, fish symbols bearing instant cash might be added in random positions.
Christmas Big Bass Bonanza Jackpot
We didn’t spot any special Christmas jackpots added to the game, and the max potential is staying true to the flagship title at 2,100x your stake. It’s a shame that the developer didn’t glitter up the Megaways version, where the max potential is set to a higher 4,000x your stake.
RTP and Volatility
We didn’t expect to see big changes in the stats area either. The volatility comes in at the same high rate and the RTP figure is ever-changing. Initially, it’s set to a very nice 96.71% but can soon drop below the ice to 95.67% and even 94.62%.
Where to Play Christmas Big Bass Bonanza
Fish up some big wins at MrQ or hop over to Videoslots for some festive fishing on the ice. Either way, you’ll find them both, and many similar Pragmatic Play casinos, on our handy toplist from the experts.
