What do you do when you’re a leading online slots developer and have a popular series on your hands around the Christmas period? Well, you create a festive version of said series. Pragmatic Play, renowned for their work with the Bass Bonanza collection of video slots, have taken the plunge and created Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch, and it fits in more ways than one.
While fishing isn’t necessarily an activity people consider doing on Christmas day, winter fishing is incredibly popular in some countries, and this is the premise being pushed in Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch by Pragmatic Play, which is a slot with twelve paylines spread across five reels.
This slot, which you could describe as celebrating Fishmas, has a betting range beginning at 0.12 with a top bet of 60.00 per spin, and there’s a prize worth up to 4,000x the stake up for grabs. The RTP is reported as 96.08%, which is similar to other slots in the series, and there are a couple of bonus features to get stuck into as well.
In Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch, Pragmatic Play changes the location of the game, as you will expect, with the action unfolding in a winter setting. What's arguably great about the design is that you look at it and feel cold, which is precisely the kind of experience the developer is attempting to create.
As the reels turn, bells can be heard jingling, which adds a festive element to proceedings. And the symbols on the reels, such as the fish, tackle box, float, fishing rod and snowmobile, enhance the fishing and winter elements further. Aside from the special icons, there are also royal symbols 10-A, which pay less than the rest.
The hooked fish is the scatter in Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch, and when you have enough of them in view simultaneously, it means there are some free spins on the way.
The wild, which is the fisherman himself, is another important symbol to watch out for when spinning the reels of this slot. As well as replacing other regular icons on the reels, the wild also collects the cash values attached to the fish symbols.
Wild icons themselves are also collected, and the more a player picks up, the better the potential rewards. With three sets of four wilds to collect, here are the perks that are possible:
It’s worth noting that after the final set of wilds has come into play, the feature in terms of the potential rewards ends.
If you’re a fan of Pragmatic Play’s hit fishing series, you’ll be pleased to see the arrival of a festive-themed instalment. And if you’re unfamiliar, here’s a chance to experience the Bass Bonanza collection but with a Christmas twist. It’s another good all-rounder and a welcome addition to this casino game series.
