Big Bass Christmas Frozen Lake Slot Review

About the Game

All symbols in the Big Bass Christmas Frozen Lake slot from Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play pay from left to right on adjacent reels, starting with the leftmost reel. The fisherman returns in a Christmas-themed guise in the latest addition to the Big Bass series, where red robins, a sleigh, and festive fish adorn the 5×3 gameboard.

Landing 3-5 symbols activates the Card Reveal feature, which awards either Free Spins or Frozen Lake Free Spins.

In both features, Wild symbols accumulate the value of all Cash symbols landed on a single spin, with every fourth Wild symbol awarding 10 additional spins and a 2x, 3x, and 10x multiplier for each re-spin. During the Frozen Lake Free Spins, all regular symbols are removed from the gameboard.

Free Spins

Land 3, 4, or 5 SCATTER symbols to trigger the FREE SPINS feature and win 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Each time two SCATTER symbols appear without a third symbol during the main game, there’s a chance that another symbol will appear on the screen as a result of a random feature:

• If SCATTER symbols on the screen can move down one position without leaving the reels, a re-spin is triggered, during which reels containing SCATTER symbols move down one position, and reels without SCATTER symbols spin again.
• Also, after the first spin, another SCATTER symbol may appear randomly on the screen. Before the round begins, choose a card from a possible 12 to see the type of FREE SPINS you’ll win.

Landing a BONUS card triggers the regular FREE SPINS round. Landing a SECRETS OF THE FROZEN LAKE card triggers the FROZEN LAKE FREE SPINS feature. During the regular FREE SPINS feature, each WILD FISHERMAN symbol also collects all CASH symbols on the screen. All WILD FISHERMAN symbols landed during this feature are collected for the rest of the round. Every fourth WILD FISHERMAN symbol collected resets the feature, awarding an additional 10 free spins and a multiplier for collecting CASH symbols that increases by 2x for the second level, 3x for the third level, and 10x for the fourth level. After the fourth level, the feature cannot be reset.

During the FROZEN LAKE FREE SPINS feature, regular symbols disappear, leaving only an empty grid. Regular reels are replaced with special symbols containing only CASH symbols, WILD FISHERMAN symbols, and empty positions.

The round begins with 10 free spins. During each spin, all winning lines or winning combinations with MONEY symbols are paid, and each FISHERMAN WILD symbol that lands accumulates the value of all MONEY symbols on the screen. All MONEY symbols that land during this feature are accumulated until the end of the round. Each fourth FISHERMAN WILD symbol collected resets the feature, awarding an additional 10 free spins and a multiplier for collecting MONEY symbols, increasing by 2x for the second level, 3x for the third level, and 10x for the fourth level. After the fourth level, the feature cannot be reset.

During any type of FREE SPINS, the following random events may occur:

• Randomly, when only WILD FISHERMAN symbols and MONEY symbols are displayed on the screen, MONEY symbols may appear in random positions at the end of the free spin.
• Randomly, when only MONEY symbols are displayed on the screen without WILD FISHERMAN symbols, a hook will appear at the end of the free spin, pulling a random reel upward and bringing WILD FISHERMAN symbols onto the screen.
• Randomly, when WILD FISHERMAN symbols are displayed on the screen but no MONEY symbols, an ice curtain animation may appear at the end of the free spin, changing all symbols on the screen except WILD FISHERMAN symbols to other symbols.

Special reels are included in the game.
