Big Bass Xmas Xtreme Demo Review
Big Bass Xmas Xtreme is a Christmas edition of the Big Bass fishing series by Reel Kingdom, released by Pragmatic Play. It keeps the classic 5×3 grid with 10 paylines but adds a present-picking bonus before free spins and a retrigger ladder that climbs to a 50x collect multiplier. The rules list low volatility, an RTP of 96.07% and a top win of 10,000x the bet. Bets range from $0.10 to $375 per spin.
Base Game with a Random Fish Collect
Bobbers, puffins, fishing rods and tackle bags pay left to right on 10 lines. Fish are money symbols with random values from 0.2x up to 1,000x the bet. After a base game spin, the fish on screen can be collected at random, with a multiplier from 1x up to 50x applied to their total, so the base game can pay fish values too.
When two Scatters land without a third, a respin can nudge them down, or a narwhal can turn a symbol into a third Scatter.
Big Bass Xmas Xtreme Symbols and Payouts
The table shows what each symbol pays at a $1 bet, so the dollar amounts are also multiples of your bet.

Pick a Present Before Free Spins
Three or more Scatters award 10 free spins. Before the round starts, you pick presents to reveal modifiers until you find a boot. The modifiers are More Free Spins (up to 6 extra), Guaranteed Fish (1 to 3 money symbols on every spin), Already Collected Fishermen (up to 3 Wilds towards the first retrigger) and Remove Lowest Fish, which takes the 2x and then the 5x values out of the round. Four or five Scatters start the pick with one or two boots already revealed.
The Fisherman Collect and Eight Levels
In free spins every fisherman Wild collects the values of all fish on screen. Every 4th fisherman retriggers the round with 10 more spins and raises the collect multiplier through eight levels: 2x, 3x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x and finally 50x. Hooks, a waterfall and extra fish can appear at random to help.
Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins
The Ante Bet raises the bet by 50% for a higher chance of free spins and disables the buy. Without it, the free spins can be bought for 100x the bet. The RTP is 96.07% in normal play and with the buy, and 96.06% with the Ante Bet.
Who Should Try Big Bass Xmas Xtreme
This is the most feature-rich Big Bass Christmas edition in our collection. The pick bonus, the 50x top level and the 10,000x cap give it far more upside than the older games, while the low volatility rating keeps it accessible.
