Big Bass Christmas Blast 1000 Slot Review

Dear esteemed readers, if you gently press your ears to your device, you might just hear the approaching sounds of… Sleigh Bells! Yes, it’s not even December, and software developers up and down the land are carting out Christmas slots in readiness for the wintry holiday season. But what could possibly be coming our way? Well, it may feel like déjà vu all over again, and that’s because Pragmatic Play releases yet another annual Bass Christmas-themed slot, in fear that if they don’t, humanity will somehow become happier. Therefore, I present the Big Bass Christmas Blast 1000 slot review.

What makes this review extra special is that I’m joined by both Rod McReel and Santa Coins, two much-loved characters who will play the slot for real money and share their experience. Oh, and we’ve gifted you all a free slot demo of the game, so you can join in as well.

Rod: “Well, hello there, fishin’ fans, Rod here, but I’m not alone, as I’m joined by a special person who my wife is very pleased has shown up again. Welcome, Santa Coins, who’ll be playing Big Bass Christmas Blast 1000 with me.”

Santa: “Hello Rod, good to be back. It’s been a long twelve months; I see in that time your lovely mustache hasn’t changed, not one bit.”

Rod: “Well, I hope your fishin’ is as good as your compliments, cause we’ve got a Pragmatic Play slot on our hands and it’s a whopper.”

Gameplay & Betting Mechanics

The Big Bass Christmas Blast 1000 slot RTP is 96.50% and plays with a medium volatility setting. Now, this all means that the combination of these codes should present players with a more frequent run of wins. I’ve often netted payouts with such dynamics, but luck is the ultimate decider. When it comes to the layout, you have the standard 5x3 grid with ten paylines to win from. Landing three or more symbols will result in a win, the highest of which for this slot is 20,000x your bet. 

The cost of play is between $0.10 and $250, which does make a max jackpot win of $5,000,000! Now, the RTP and the max bet can be lowered to meet online casino regulations, so these are subject to change.

Free Spins, Bonus Buy & Special Features

When it comes to Pragmatic Play slots, features and bonuses are scarce compared to all other developers, but that’s not to say you don’t have help. Besides the Special Bets and Bonus Buy options, the in-play features include Money Symbols and Free Spins, which come with Multiplier Wilds to boost payouts.

Is It Worth Playing?

We’ve all been here before. It’s like the millionth Big Bass slot Pragmatic Play has released. The features, the bonuses, the style, they’re all no different from the thousands of games that came before it in this series. If this happens to be your first-ever Big Bass slot, then sit back and enjoy the festive cheer that comes with it, and hopefully, you’ll make a catch that's worth it.

What Happened When I Played for Cash?

Rod McReel Lake Jackpotta Head of Rod & Reels

Hello there, finishin’ fans, turns out old forgetful Santa left his mobile phone back at my house, so it’s just me for now playing the slot Big Bass Christmas Blast 1000 for real money. So, let’s set this game to $2 per spin and see what we can reel in. Well, it’s certainly a holy jolly game, as the slot and sleigh it sits on move through the snowy landscape.

Three spins in and I net a minor $0.40 win, which is immediately followed by a $10 win, thanks to five Q symbols landing. On the next spin, two bonus scatters land without the all-important third. However, these two scatters are collected by the purple Free Spins counter. The next spin does the same again, but this time saving the scatters to the red Fifteen Free Spins pot.

With 10 spins played, the hit rate is clearly very low. Just two wins is surprising for this developer, but I see this as a bit of an advantage, so I up my bet to play $3 per spin. Two spins later, and two more scatters, this time becoming saved in the green ten Free Spins pot. Spins seven and eight perform the exact same scenario, and so far, scatters are landing more than wins.

After a total of 20 spins, nothing is biting on the bets I’m selecting. Perhaps ten more goes to see what a $4 lure can hook. $0.80 drops on spin six, but on spin nine, two collected scatters prompt a third scatter symbol to activate the ten free spins bonus. With ten free spins awarded, finally, I net the big one. I tell ya, fishin’ fan, Mrs. McReel would have a smile on her face if she were here and not ill in bed. Still, this $176 win will make her happy.

See, sometimes you need a bit of patience and realize that you've got to put a bit more effort in, and luck might just reward you.
