How Big Bass Christmas Bash plays
Wins pay left to right along 10 lines, and the snow plough is the top symbol, paying from two in a row. Fish carry cash values from 2x up to 5,000x stake, collected in free spins. When two scatters land without a third, a respin or a hook can bring in another.
Free spins and the modifiers
Three, four or five scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Before the round starts, up to five random modifiers can apply:
- More Fish: more fish on the reel strips, so they can land more often.
- More Fishermen: the same for wilds.
- More random extras: dynamite, hooks and symbol changes can land more often.
- Start from Level 2: the round begins at the 2x multiplier.
- +2 Spins: two extra spins at the start and on every retrigger.
Fisherman wilds collect the value of every fish in view. Dynamite can add fish when wilds land without fish, a hook can pull a wild into view, and a third feature can change every symbol except the wilds. Every fourth wild adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier to 2x, 3x and finally 10x.
