Big Bass Xmas Xtreme demo
The official demo plays in pounds with virtual credit. Watch the base game for a while: fish that land on their own can still be paid, sometimes with a multiplier on top.

Multipliers everywhere
Xmas Xtreme keeps the 5×3 grid and 10 paylines, but it pushes the multiplier idea further than any other Christmas Big Bass. After a base-game spin, all visible money values may be paid out with a random multiplier: ×1, ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5, ×10, ×20, ×30, ×40 or ×50. No Fisherman is needed for that — he stays out of the base game.
The default RTP is 96.07%, and the same figure applies to the Ante Bet. Lower versions at 95.08% and 94.05% are in circulation, so check the paytable's info screen before you play. Volatility is high (some sources say very high).
A win comes about once in 8.53 spins; free spins are rarer than in most of the series, around once in 148 spins.

Symbols: Fisherman, money fish and scatter
Money symbols range from 0.2× to 1,000× the bet: 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 200, 250, 333, 500 and 1,000×. The Fisherman Wild lands in free spins only, where he collects the money values on screen.
In the base game two boosters help the scatters along: a Respin, and a Narwhal that can turn a symbol into a scatter.
The Pick feature and eight levels
Three or more scatters always give 10 free spins. What changes the round is the Pick feature that follows: you keep picking items until a Boot turns up. Land four or five scatters and the pick starts with one or two items already revealed. The prizes:
- Extra spins — +1, +2 or +3, up to 6 extra in total.
- +1 Fish — up to three, guaranteeing 1, 2 or 3 money symbols on every spin.
- Pre-collected Fishermen — up to three, so the round starts with Fishermen already collected.
- Remove Lowest Fish — up to twice, taking the smallest values out of the round.
Then the collecting starts. Every fourth Fisherman adds 10 spins and moves you up a level, and Xmas Xtreme has eight of them:
- ×2Level 2 · +10 spins
- ×3Level 3 · +10 spins
- ×10Level 4 · +10 spins
- ×20Level 5 · +10 spins
- ×30Level 6 · +10 spins
- ×40Level 7 · +10 spins
- ×50Level 8 · no further retriggers
Random modifiers also run during the round: Random Money Symbols, Hook, Waterfall and Random Hook.
Bonus Buy and Ante Bet
Bonus Buy is not available in Great Britain. UK players reach the Pick feature only by landing scatters.
Outside Great Britain and in the demo there is a single buy option: Free Spins for 100× the bet. The Ante Bet adds 50% to the stake and brings more scatters to the reels, but every spin then costs 50% more.
