Big Bass Christmas Bash Bonus Features
Fish Money Symbols
Fish money symbols pay out as regular pay symbols in the base game, and carry instant cash prizes in the bonus that can be collected and awarded when they land at the same time as fisherman wilds. Fish money symbols can carry values ranging from 2x to 5,000x the bet.
Free Spins Bonus
To enter the free spins bonus round, you need to hit three or more scatter symbols on a single base game spin. The number of scatters will determine the number of spins you enter the round with, as follows:
- 3x scatter = 10 free spins
- 4x scatter = 15 free spins
- 5x scatter = 20 free spins
If only two scatters land in the base game, there is a chance for another one to be brought into view by a random feature:
- Respin: Both scatters on screen move down one reel position, and the remaining reels respin for a chance to land that third, triggering scatter.
- Hook: A random hook can appear on screen, dragging the third scatter into view and awarding the bonus.
Bonus Modifiers
Before the free spins bonus begins, you are given the chance to win up to five modifiers to bring into your game:
- MORE FISH: More fish money symbols are added to the reels.
- MORE FISHERMEN: More fisherman wild symbols are added to the reels.
- MORE DYNAMITES, HOOKS. & BAZOOKAS: A higher chance of these reel modifiers hitting during the bonus.
- START FROM LEVEL 2: The round starts from level 2 on the progression trail.
- +2 SPINS: Bonus starts with two additional free spins
Fisherman Wilds
The game’s iconic fisherman appears in the bonus dressed as a Christmas elf. These special symbols act as wilds, substituting for regular pay symbols to help create payline wins, and also collect symbols that reel in the values from all fish money symbols that appear with them on the reels.
In addition, each fisherman wild that lands during the bonus is collected on the progression trail at the top of the reels. For every fourth wild collected, the bonus is boosted up to the next level, and you are awarded a further ten free spins, plus a universal win multiplier. On level 2, the multiplier is 2x, on level 3, the multiplier is 3x, and on the fourth and final level, the multiplier is 10x.
Random Wins
On random bonus spins when a fisherman wild lands, but there are no fish money symbols in view, the Dynamite, Hook, or Bazooka features can trigger to bring fish money symbols into view and award a winning spin.
