Pragmatic Play · 2024
Ten fixed paylines on a 5x4 grid, Big Bass Xmas Extreme is a high volatility Pragmatic Play slot with a Christmas and fishing theme.
A 5x4 grid with 10 fixed paylines, read left to right, gives this game its Christmas and fishing theme. Two matching symbols on a payline are enough to pay. The main mechanic runs through the MONEY symbols, which take a random value between 0.2x and 1000x the total bet on every spin. A random collect event can also award all MONEY values with a multiplier from 1x to 50x.
10 base spins start the Free Spins, and a Pick a Box phase in a 3D Christmas room can add more first. Its gifts add 1 to 3 spins, secure 1 to 3 MONEY symbols per spin, or pre-collect 1 to 3 Fisherman Wilds. Every fourth collected Fisherman Wild adds 10 spins and lifts the multiplier from 2x up to 50x.

Five stages
After this, you can walk a full round from bet to spending limit.
Set your bet anywhere from A$0.10 up to A$375, the highest bet this lobby allows. The tables on this page use A$0.50, A$2 and A$10 as examples only, not as limits.
Symbols land on a 5x4 grid and pay along 10 fixed paylines, left to right. Each MONEY symbol takes a random value from 0.2x to 1000x the total bet.
Scatter and Wild symbols and the Progressive Multiplier are the game's other features. A random Money Collect event may pay all MONEY values with a 1x to 50x multiplier.
Free Spins start with 10 base spins plus any extras from the Pick a Box room, such as more spins or pre-collected Fisherman Wilds. Picking the Boot ends the choices.
Set a spending limit before the first spin, since no one can know when a bonus will land. If play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Bonus rules
The common worry is not knowing how the bonus starts, and these steps answer it.
The pick-a-box phase runs in a 3D Christmas room before Free Spins. Each gift reveals a modifier: more spins (+1/+2/+3, max 6), guaranteed MONEY symbols (1–3 per spin), pre-collected Fisherman Wilds (1–3), or Remove Lowest Fish, which removes 2x then 5x MONEY values. The Boot ends picking.
Bonus triggerModifiers and spins
Free Spins start with 10 base spins, plus any extras from pick a box. Each FISHERMAN WILD collects all visible MONEY values. Every 4th collected Wild retriggers +10 spins and climbs the multiplier: 2x, 3x, 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x (max 8 levels). Special reels are active.

The base game runs on a 5x4 grid with 10 fixed paylines, read left to right. MONEY symbols take random values on every spin, from 0.2x–1000x the total bet. A random collect event may award all MONEY values with a 1x–50x multiplier.

The 5x4 grid of Big Bass Xmas Extreme hides no timetable for its bonus round. Free Spins start from 10 base spins, but how often a player reaches them is not known in advance. One session can bring none, several, or a long run of dead spins. The RTP of 96.07 describes only the long-run average, so it cannot say what the next spin pays.
Big Bass Xmas Extreme is listed with one RTP of 96.07 percent. The version running on this site is shown only in the game rules, so read them before the first spin. Other Big Bass titles in the series list RTPs from 96.50 to 96.52 percent, so compare the rules, not the series name.
The maximum win of x10,000 the bet is a ceiling that players reach very rarely. Nothing on this page or in the game promises that a session gets near it. The top figure only describes what the game allows, not what it pays out in a typical session.

Read this when you are choosing a stake or want the rules before the first spin.
The top prize is 10,000 times the bet, written as x10,000. At the A$10 example bet it is A$100,000, and at the highest bet of A$375 it is A$3,750,000. That figure is a ceiling, not an expected result.
Big Bass Xmas Extreme is rated high volatility, so payouts are uneven from spin to spin. How often the bonus comes, and how big a session gets, cannot be known before you play.
Stakes run from A$0.10 up to A$375 per spin, the highest bet allowed in this market. The examples on this page use A$0.50, A$2 and A$10, but those are not the limits. Pick a stake that fits the budget you set before play.
This version runs at 96.07 percent RTP, below the 96.50 to 96.52 percent of the other series versions. Its top prize is x10,000, while four of the other versions cap at x5,000 and Big Bass Splash 1000 goes to x25,000.
Buy Free Spins costs A$1,000 at the A$10 example bet, which is 100 times the stake. The Ante Bet costs 1.5 times the stake, so A$15 at A$10. Both prices scale with the bet you pick.
Players must be 18+. Talk to the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Before you spin Big Bass Xmas Extreme, decide how much you can afford to lose, and keep that sum apart from money for bills.
Set your stop point before you start, and keep to it when a win arrives. A big return on one spin does not change the plan.
Set deposit and loss limits in your account before you play Big Bass Xmas Extreme, and check them before each session.
If the game stops being fun, take a break, or self-exclude through BetStop. Stop playing as soon as you feel pressure to chase losses.
