How Big Catch Bass Fishing Christmas plays
Snow surrounds the lake and the angler wears a Santa hat, but the base game keeps to a familiar plan. Line wins pay left to right on 10 fixed lines, using tackle and fishing gear as the higher-paying symbols and A, K, Q, J and 10 as the lower ones. Fish symbols carry cash values, which only matter once the free games begin.
- Fisherman wild: replaces the regular symbols in line wins.
- Fish: show a cash prize that the Fisherman can collect in free games.
- Bonus symbols: three or more anywhere start the feature.
Pick a Fish and the free games
Land three or more bonus symbols and the game first asks you to pick a fish. Each one hides an upgrade, such as more fish on the reels or extra games.
In free games, any Fisherman who lands alongside fish collects every cash value in view and moves a trail forward. Steps along the trail award another upgrade, extra games or a higher multiplier on collected prizes, which can reach 10x near the end.
