Bigger Bass Blizzard – Christmas Catch Slot Review

Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch Slot Overview

Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch takes the familiar Big Bass formula and shifts it to a frozen lake. You still spin on a 5 reel, 4 row layout with 12 fixed paylines, but the summer boat trip has become a holiday fishing adventure on the ice. The fisherman now rides a snowmobile past snow covered trees and a frozen water surface, while a cheerful soundtrack keeps things light.

Under the festive surface, Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch plays much like Bigger Bass Bonanza. The main change is a lower RTP range and a win cap of 4000x your stake. High volatility and money fish symbols mean the base game can feel quiet, with most serious action packed into the free spins round. Random hook features and the chance to land big cash values keep the chase engaging.

Symbols and Paytable in Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch

The paytable in Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch starts with the card royals 10, J, Q, K and A. These are the low paying symbols and award 10x your bet for a five of a kind win on any line. They pop up often and cover most small hits, so they help to keep the balance ticking over while you wait for premium symbols, cash fish or bonus scatters.

Premium symbols fit the fishing theme nicely. You get a tackle box, a dragonfly style lure, a fishing rod and the fisherman on his snowmobile. Landing five of a kind with these pays between 50x and 200x your stake, with the fisherman as the top payer. That symbol even pays from just two on a line, which gives the base game the odd surprise burst when a stack lands.

Fish symbols are the money symbols in Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch. On a five symbol payline they pay up to 5x your bet, and if you land five together their displayed values are summed and paid as a single win. During free spins each fish can carry a random cash prize from 2x up to 4000x your stake. The jumping fish scatter triggers the bonus, while the fisherman holding a catch acts as the wild.

Bonus Features in Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch

Three, four or five scatter symbols in Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. If only two scatters land, a random hook can appear and pull in the missing third one. In the bonus, fish money symbols carry cash values, and any fisherman wild in view collects all of them. Each wild is also stored on a meter above the reels, which drives the multiplier trail.

Every set of four collected fishermen in Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch upgrades the money collect multiplier and adds 10 extra spins. The levels move from x1 to x2, then x3, and finally x10, with no extra retrigger afterwards. On spins with only wilds, random fish may be added, and on spins with only fish, hooks can pull in collectors. Where available you can pay 50 percent extra for the Ante Bet or 100x stake for bonus buy entry.

Final Thoughts on Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch

As someone who has spent plenty of time with the Big Bass series, Bigger Bass Blizzard - Christmas Catch feels like a seasonal reskin with a tempting 4000x cap. The ice fishing theme works, the free spins feature still carries the show, and the money collect mechanic can produce exciting swings. The main drawback is the lower RTP range, so I always try to pick venues that use the higher configuration when I fancy a session.
