Big Bass Xmas Xtreme Slots
Big Bass Xmas Xtreme is a video slot game which launched on November 2024 and was crafted by innovative developers Pragmatic Play in collaboration with Reel Kingdom.
This is another installment in the immensely popular and successful Big Bass series but this time with a festive twist for the holiday season. A thrilling maximum win potential of 10,000x the bet is on offer and there are a variety of unique features with free spins for an exhilarating gaming experience and a waterfall animation that can potentially create more winning combinations.
The game features a classical gaming grid with 5 reels and 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines in order to make wins. The background reveals a beautifully detailed winter landscape with a serene lake covered with ice and the familiar fisherman dressed warmly for the cold weather. The Northern lights shimmer in the sky and reflect underneath the water´s surface where plant life can be seen which adds depth to the immersive setting. The visuals are crisp and vibrant and offer a pleasing colour palette which has a polished feel and the soundtrack is enriching bringing an immersive feel.
Players will need to set their wagers to begin gameplay and they start from a minimum of $0.10 per spin and up to $250.00. This provides flexible options for both casual and veteran players alike with distinctive budgets. A useful option is the Auto-play button which allows punters to pre automate the number of spins they wish to game with and this can prove handy for those who dislike manual play and also for the more budget conscious.
The RTP (Return to Player Percentage) is 96.07% and the volatility is high. This means that there are likely to be dry spells with wins which are less consistent in terms of frequency and when the wins land they can be generous. High rollers who have the time, patience and bankroll will enjoy the excitement. However, it may not be so suitable for the faint of heart or those players who averse to risk so casual punters will need to exercise caution and prudence.
Players can use the Ante Bet feature where the stake goes up by 50% in order to gain more scatter symbols on the reels. There is also a Bonus Buy option that allows punters to buy directly into the Free spins and this costs 100x their bet.
Wins are achieved by combining at least 3 matching symbols across any of the game´s 10 fixed paylines. Twelve gaming symbols are presented including 5 low paying symbols represented by the playing cards 10 through to Ace. The four premium symbols are backpacks, fishing rods, penguins and floats and these pay out between 50x to 200x for five matching symbols with the float providing the highest payout.
The fisherman is the wild who appears in the Free Spins feature and which substitutes for all regular symbols whilst collecting all fish money symbols in view. The fish money symbols take on random values during every spin which can range from 0.2x to 1,000x players bet. Occasionally, after a base game spin, the values of the money symbols on the screen can be collected and awarded and here a random multiplier of up to 50x is applied to the total value.
The scatter symbol is the Bass fish and landing 3 or more scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins awarding 10 free spins. Prior to the free spins, a Pick a Box feature starts where players can be awarded bonus enhancements. Extra free spins can be given which adds up to 6 additional spins. Guaranteed fish ensures up to 3 money symbols appear on the reels with every spin. Collected Fishermen starts with free spins with up to 3 fishermen. The lowest paying fish are eliminated with the removal of 2x or 5x money symbols.
Money modifiers enhance gameplay by either triggering free spins or increasing rewards. A Respin is when the reels spin again to land a scatter and a Narwal may also appear which transforms a random symbol into a scatter symbol.
Random money symbols appear during the free spins when there is a fisherman but no money symbols and this increases win chances. A hook can appear to pull a random reel up to reveal a Fisherman wild symbol. A waterfall animation converts non fisherman symbols into others. A random hook may also appear randomly at the end of a spin which brings both fisherman wild and money symbols onto the reels.
Players can take Big Bass Xmas Xtreme slot game on the go to play anywhere and at anytime as it is fully mobile optimized. It is compatible with any iOS Apple, Android or Samsung smartphone or tablet device with a responsive design which automatically resizes for optimal and slick performance.
