Big Bass Christmas - Frozen Lake Demo Review
Big Bass Christmas - Frozen Lake is a festive Big Bass game by Reel Kingdom, released by Pragmatic Play. It uses the classic 5×3 grid with 10 paylines and adds a second, special type of free spins on a frozen lake. Volatility is high, the RTP is 96.07% and the top win is 5,000x the bet. Bets range from $0.10 to $375 per spin.
Santa Goes Ice Fishing
Santa is the fisherman this time, and the reels are filled with a sleigh, robins, candy-cane fishing rods and tackle boxes. Wins pay left to right on 10 lines, and the sleigh pays up to 200x the bet for five of a kind.
The fish are money symbols with random cash values from 2x up to 5,000x the bet. When two Scatters land without a third, a respin can nudge them down, or a third Scatter can appear at a random position.
Big Bass Christmas Frozen Lake Symbols and Payouts
The table shows what each symbol pays at a $1 bet, so the dollar amounts are also multiples of your bet. Only the sleigh pays for two of a kind.

Pick a Card: Two Types of Free Spins
Three, four or five Scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Before the round starts you pick one of 12 cards. A Bonus card starts the regular free spins, where every Santa fisherman Wild collects the cash values of all fish on screen. Every 4th Wild retriggers 10 more spins and raises the collect multiplier to 2x, 3x and 10x.
A Secrets of the Frozen Lake card starts the Frozen Lake Free Spins instead. The normal symbols fade away, and the special reels hold only fish, Wilds and blanks. The round starts with 10 spins, and every Wild that lands collects all the fish on the grid, so wins come much more often.
In both rounds, extra features can help: fish can be added when Wilds land alone, a hook can pull a reel up to bring in a Wild, and an ice curtain can change the other symbols.
Ante Bet and Two Buy Options
The Ante Bet raises the bet by 50%, adds more Scatters and can drop three Scatters onto the screen after a near miss. Without it, there are two buy options: regular free spins for 100x the bet, where you still pick a card, or the Frozen Lake Free Spins directly for 270x the bet. The rules list the same 96.07% RTP for all modes.
Who Should Try Big Bass Christmas Frozen Lake
This edition is for players who know the Big Bass bonus and want a twist. The card pick adds suspense, and the Frozen Lake round is one of the most generous collect rounds in the series. High volatility means the base game can stay quiet, so it suits patient players.
