Base Game Modes
There are two base game modes. In Max Play mode, the Fisherman symbol is added and the reels only hold Fish, Fishermen and Bonus symbols. All other regular symbols are swapped for a Christmas pudding, which has no prize value.
Golden Bet raises the stake to switch on the Bonus Respin. If 2 Bonus symbols land, the reels without one spin again for a second chance at free spins. It works in both standard and Max Play mode. Hook a Bonus can also show fishing rods above reels with no Bonus symbol and drop a Bonus symbol onto the reels.
RECOMMENDED CASINOS TO PLAY Big Game Fishing Christmas Catch
Free Spins
Three or more Bonus symbols trigger free spins, and the two smallest fish are upgraded at the start. You begin with 10, 15 or 20 spins depending on how many Bonus symbols land, with higher starts adding trail progress. Fishermen catch all Cash Fish in view and apply multipliers when shown.
A 9-stage trail fills as Fishermen are collected. Every three Fishermen upgrade the fish, add 10 extra spins and unlock the next level. Fishermen that land without any Cash Fish lock on the reels until a catch appears or the round ends.
Gamble and Bonus Buy
A dual gamble can be offered on base game wins, with one wheel for bigger cash prizes and one for free spins levels. The Bonus Buy is not available to UK players.
Overall
Big Game Fishing Christmas Catch gives players a choice of base game modes and a free spins trail that keeps upgrading the fish. The 5,000x Golden Pike is the big target in a high volatility festive fishing slot.
