Bass Cash Christmas X UP Slot

Bass Cash Christmas X UP Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Bass Cash Christmas X UP slot game by Alchemy Gaming (Games Global) unfolds on 5 reels and 4 rows with 1,024 ways to win. To form a winning combination, land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from left to right.

I find the stake limit of 20p to £20 rather low, as it only favours players on a low budget. However, this may depend on your chosen Bass Cash Christmas X UP casino as well. To adjust the bet size, tap the chips icon and select your preferred stake amount. Although the Autoplay feature gives you access to up to 100 autospins, it is not available at UK online casinos.

The default Bass Cash Christmas X UP RTP is 96.2%. While it won’t rank at the top of any lists of high-RTP slots, the good news is that I couldn’t find versions with lower values. However, you may not like the game’s high volatility since long stretches without significant wins are expected.

Because of the 20.97% hit frequency, brace yourself for dry spells—wins hit once in 4.8 spins on average. The bright side is that the Bass Cash Christmas X UP max win is 15,000x, which makes the extended losses worth the hassle. The best I hit in the Bass Cash Christmas X UP demo game was 264x my stake. I was able to get there during the free spins round while X UP level 4 was active.

Theme—Underwater Christmas Festivities

Alchemy Gaming has given its popular fishing-themed slot, Bass Cash X UP, a charming Christmas look, launching you into the spirit of the holiday season. You can expect the same vibrant symbols, bonus bar, and X UP trail on the main interface, water bubbles on the spin button and reels, and a magical golden hour during the bonus round.

The soundtrack brings well-known Christmas carols following the theme. However, they’re all cranked up with electric guitars, which was a bit overwhelming for me. The Bass Cash X UP slot is much better visually than acoustically, but also—to each their own.

Set underwater with slow-rising bubbles and bold and colourful designs, this game reminded me of Big Bass Xmas Extreme (Pragmatic Play). On the reels, you will find a fishing rod, bait, bait box, and an adorable golden retriever with a fish in its mouth, bringing in big wins. On the other hand, the standard card royals serve as the low-paying symbols. The game also features Scatter, Wild, Jackpot, Collect, and Cash symbols.

Bass Cash Christmas X UP Mobile Slot

Like most of Alchemy Gaming’s new online slots, the Bass Cash Christmas X UP mobile slot is excellent. I had no trouble finding the controls and playing the game on a smaller screen, as everything ran smoothly on my mobile device.

The layout stays intuitive, adjusting to my screen without reducing the quality of the visuals or gameplay. If you prioritise gaming convenience like I do, playing at mobile casinos should be your route. In that sense, you won’t find any disappointments when it comes to the Bass Cash Christmas X UP mobile slot.

Bass Cash Christmas X UP Bonus Features

The Bass Cash Christmas X UP slot game is packed with enough bonus features to keep the fun rolling, including 2 bonus games, 4 jackpots, and the X UP bar. Move up the X UP trail by collecting tokens to hit a 15x multiplier value, or hope for the 1,000x Mega jackpot in the Bass Cash feature.

Cash Collect Feature

The Cash Collect feature has the Fisherman Santa symbol collecting jackpot and cash prizes that randomly appear on the reels. This slot comes with 4 possible jackpot prizes: Mini (15x), Minor (50x), Major (250x), and Mega (1,000x). Additionally, it has 3 cash symbols: small fish (0.2x-1x), medium fish (1.5x-3x), and large fish (5x-10x).

The Fisherman symbol only appears on reels 1 and 5 in both the base game and free spins. It acts as the main collector and doesn’t bring payouts on its own. If 2 fisherman symbols land simultaneously with cash or jackpot prize symbols, all the prizes will be collected and awarded 2 times.

X UP Feature

The X UP feature uses a bar with 6 levels that collects tokens to activate prize multipliers. You fill up and benefit from the bar by collecting scatter symbols.

Interestingly, the scatter symbol in the Bass Cash Christmas X UP slot works somewhat differently from what you might have seen in other online slot games. It comes in 3 different colours: red, blue, and gold.

The red scatters can land anywhere on the reels during the base game. You need to land 2 of them to get 1 X token for filling up the X UP bar. To unlock the level-2 multiplier, you will need just 1 X token. To progress to level 3 on the X UP bar, you will need to get 2 X tokens (which means you need to get 2 red scatters simultaneously on 2 different spins).

Every subsequent level/multiplier requires one X token more than the previous level until you get 5 X tokens and reach level 6.

The blue scatters (land only on reels 1 and 5) permanently increase multiplier levels starting from the top of the X UP bar (from 10x to 12x). However, you need to land 2 of them on a spin for this to work. If you manage to turn the whole X UP bar blue, you can get the highest-level multiplier from 12x to 15x by landing 2 final blue scatters.

Finally, you start benefitting from these mechanics if you can land a gold scatter (only on reel 1) simultaneously with cash/jackpot symbols and the Fisherman Santa collector. The gold scatter applies the currently active multiplier from the X UP bar to all cash and jackpot prizes. Depending on how far up the X UP bar you are, this can lead to some amazing payouts.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more red scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger 8 free spins. The active multiplier value on the X UP bar acquired during the base game will apply to the jackpot and cash prizes during the free spins round.

Although you cannot retrigger the free spins round, you can claim 2 additional spins when 2 more red scatter symbols appear together on the reels. However, you should know that the X UP bar gets reset after this bonus round.

Bash Cash Bonus

Aside from the 3 types of scatters, the Bass Cash Christmas X UP slot has a bonus symbol represented by a trophy. Bonus symbols fill up the 5-slot trail located above the reels. You need to land one bonus symbol on each reel at any time to fill up the whole trail and trigger another bonus game.

During the bonus round, an expanded fisherman symbol is locked on reel 1, so only reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 spin. They contain only cash prizes and trophies of different colours that match different jackpot prizes.

The round continues until 3 trophies of the same colour are collected, awarding the corresponding jackpot prize in addition to all the previously collected cash prizes.

Feature Buy (Not Available in UK Online Casinos)

Before the free spins round begins, you can buy a higher starting jackpot or cash prize multiplier. However, this feature is unavailable to players whose stake exceeds a predetermined amount or if free spins are triggered with an active level 6 on the X UP bar.

You can also move directly into free spins without spinning the reels by activating Feature Buy. It triggers 8 free spins with a 15x cash and jackpot multiplier, and it costs 150x the total bet. Keep in mind that these paid options are not available at UK slot sites.

Bass Cash Christmas X UP Slot

Only the Christmas visuals separate the Bass Cash Christmas X slot game from the original release. Still, this title offers a thrilling gaming experience with big win potential.

Pros

• Very well done visually
• 15,000x top payout
• 2 exciting bonus games
• X UP multipliers

Cons

• High volatility
• Low value of the regular symbols

The X UP concept is the main highlight of this release, making its way from Chronicles of Olympus X UP and Africa X UP. However, the Bass Cash Christmas X UP slot improves this concept in almost every way for me—from the eye-catching graphics to 3-coloured scatter symbols, the Bass Cash Bonus feature, 4 jackpots, and cash collect symbols.

On the other hand, although the 15,000x max payout is pretty decent, it is a far cry from the 50,000x max win in Chronicles of Olympus X UP. Still, in my opinion, this doesn’t take away from the game’s thrill. With 2 bonus games, every spin comes with a promise of a big win. I like the introduction of the Bass Cash Bonus feature, but I would not complain if the active X UP level extended into this bonus round, too.

However, the bonus features may feel overwhelming if your idea of the best online slots means, first and foremost, simple and straightforward gameplay. In any case, I had a lot of fun with the Bass Cash Christmas X UP slot, and I fully recommend checking it out. Maybe this crossover between Christmas-themed and fishing-themed games will turn out to be just what you have been looking for.
