Festive Fishing at its Finest
Christmas Big Bass Bonanza was released in 2021, so it’s an earlier edition of the series and sticks more closely to the original gameplay. In the base game, your objective is to match identical pay symbols on consecutive reels along one of ten fixed paylines to score paytable wins.
There are ten pay symbols on the reels, offering payouts from 0.50x up to 200x for payline wins, which can be seen in the paytable below. Bonus symbols are the Big Bass scatter, Fish Money Symbols, and Santa Wilds in the bonus.

| Jack | – | 0.50 | 2.50 | 10.00 |
| Queen | – | 0.50 | 2.50 | 10.00 |

Festive Features in this Christmas Classic
Pragmatic Play’s Christmas overhaul of its iconic fishing slot extends to the game’s bonus features, where a seafaring Santa has replaced the regular Fisherman Wild.
- Fish Money Symbols: The game’s fish symbols also take on a seasonal persona, with winter headwear and other Christmassy accessories. They carry instant cash prizes between 2x and 2,000x, which Santa can collect in the free spins bonus.
- Big Bass Scatter: The series’ signature scatter symbol also dons a Christmas hat. Hit three, four, or five in the base game to earn 10, 15, or 20 free spins in the bonus.
- Santa Cash Collect: Santa has taken over the reins from the fisherman, collecting fish money symbol prizes in the bonus game, and acting as a wild to help create winning combos.
- Free Spins Bonus: During the free spins bonus, Santa wilds are collected in the trail along the top of the reels, which has checkpoints every four steps. Every fourth Santa collected will retrigger the bonus with 10 free spins, plus a win multiplier of 2x, then 3x, then 10x.
- Christmas Crackers: If Santa appears on the reels in the bonus game and there are no prize fish to collect, a cracker may appear to spread prizes on the reels.
Seasonal Spins from 10p
You can experience the seasonal fun from as little as 10p per spin. Use the plus and minus buttons next to the iconic Pragmatic spin button to view your wagering options and set your bet size.
