Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch Slots
Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch slot game is as you can guess by the name a festive and Christmas version of the super successful and popular Bass Bonanza series of slot games. Lower temperatures will be experienced as players ready up their rods to fish for gold on a frozen and icy lake. Gloves, goggles, a hat and a snowmobile will be needed to combat the freezing cold of a snowy wintry wonderland in the search for bass fish and riches so let´s go fish!
Once again, Pragmatic Play are the steadfast igaming developers behind this addition to the series which was released in May 2024. Much of the gameplay of this holiday themed slot remains largely unaltered and carries much similarity to the Bigger Bass Bonanza slot game. There are a couple of additions in the free spins bonus game but gameplay could not be easier in this fishing frenzy game which still provides some solid and entertaining fun for players with a maximum win potential of up to x4,000 times player´s bet when players land the lucrative bass fish symbols.
Players are introduced to the gaming grid of 5 reels and 4 rows with some colourful graphics with the reels superimposed on a winter scene showing snow laden evergreen trees on either side of the reels and icicles completing the chilly feel. An upbeat soundtrack of jingle bells and singing seagulls infuses the Christmas theme nicely.
There are 12 fixed paylines (ways to win) at Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch and players can make wins when landing three or more matching symbols landing from left to right starting from reel 1.

Punters can make their wagers from between a minimum of just 0.12$ up to a maximum of 240.00$ and bets can duly be adjusted in this range by using the intuitive gaming controls. The Add Bet feature can be activated to the left of the reels which increases stakes by 50% per spin and there is an autoplay option for those players to automate the number of spins they wish to play with and suits those who wish to sit back and go handsfree or for players who would like to control and set a budget for more responsible gaming.
The Return to Player (RTP) of Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch sits at 96.08% which is a tad above the industry average. Volatility is high so although big wins are possible players can expect frequent smaller wins to compensate.
The symbols which carries a cartoon aesthetic all embrace the fishing theme effectively and are drawn with vibrant colour and flair. The royal playing cards Ace to 10 are the lower paying symbols in the game providing payouts of up to 10x stake for 5. Fishing tackle boxes provide payouts of between x2, x10 or x50 stake for 3, 4 or 5 respectively and the fish and floats make up the middle range of payouts bringing players payouts of 100x stake for 5 across a winning line. It is the snowmobile which is the most lucrative symbol paying up to 200x players stake for a five of a kind combination.
The wild in the game is our jolly fisherman and this wild symbol only appears in the free spins feature. As usual for wilds this symbol substitutes for all the other symbols in the game with the exception of the scatter which is the bass fish.
The one main bonus event at Bigger Bass Blizzard Christmas Catch slot game is the Free Spins Feature and this is triggered when 3 or more scatters land on the reels in the base game. Players will get 10 free spins initially by landing 3, with 4 scatters they get 15 free spins and with all 5 scatters it is 20 free spins. This is where the wild also appears as mentioned earlier and every time it appears on the reels it collects the fish symbols in view.
The more wilds that are collected the bigger the wins. There are 3 sets of 4 wilds to collect and for 4 wilds players will get 10 free spins and a 2x multiplier added. With the next 4 wilds 10 free spins are awarded and the multiplier is increased to x3. For the final set of 4 wilds a 10x multiplier is applied with 10 free spins. After the 3rd retrigger this part of the bonus feature can not be retriggered further.
Players will need to note that the scatter/bass fish symbols land on the gaming grid in random fashion and 1 or 2 special hooks can randomly appear at the end of a spin and this will duly reveal and award the money symbols and the wilds. When there are only 1 or 2 wilds on the reels at the end of a free spin fish money symbols can appear in random fashion.
