There seems to be no escaping from fishing-themed slots lately and every upcoming holiday comes with its own new version of the popular “Big Bass” franchise.

Just after the dust of the release of Big Bass Halloween has settled down, Reel Kingdom, one of Pragmatic Play’s most successful partner studios, brings us Big Bass Christmas Bash, a clone of Big Bass Splash.

It is a move that neither surprises nor excites us all that much. There has been such an overflow of fishing-themed slots it is hard to get the heart pumping for yet another slot that has fishermen trying to reel in the big wins. Disguising the slot as a Christmas-themed slot, complete with snowplows, frozen lakes, fishermen in Santa Clause outfits and the obligatory xmas crackers doesn’t change that feeling one bit.

Big Bass Christmas Bash RTP

Big Bass Christmas Bash has been released in three RTP configurations: 94.60%, 95.67%, 96.71%. Playing the slot at the highest RTP level does not only make sense, but it vastly improves your chances of winning, as you will have more spins to play before your money runs out.

To illustrate the disastrous effect playing with a lower RTP will have on your gameplay, we have made some calculations. In the following table, we show how many spins you will theoretically get to play before your money runs out, based on a starting balance of €/£/$/100 and a stake of €/£/$/1 per spin.

RTP	Number of spins
96.71%	3,009
95.67%	2,286
94.60%	1,833

As you can see, playing the 96.71% version gets you 1,176 more spins and extra chances to land a big win than the 94.60% version.
