REEL IN THE EXCITEMENT IN PRAGMATIC PLAY’S BIG BASS AMAZON XTREME™
The provider goes on an Amazon trip with its favourite fisherman in Big Bass Amazon Xtreme
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, invites players on a fishing trip like no other with Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™ .
The latest release in the Big Bass franchise sees familiar symbols and gameplay return to the 5×3 reels, this time being joined by new symbols that must form a matching combination across 10 paylines to award a win.
Money symbols in the shape of fish can land during the base game, with random chances of players collecting the fish’s values of up to 1,000x their bet. A random multiplier of up to 40x is also applied, opening up the chances to catch big prizes on any spin.
The slot’s free spins feature is unlocked after players land three or more Scatter symbols during base gameplay. Special modifiers enhance the gameplay in this round, with players able to pick between features such as more free spins or removing the lowest-paying fish on the reels.
During the free spins round, every Fisherman Wild that lands will collect the values from each Money symbol on the reels. Every fourth Wild collected will retrigger the bonus feature, awarding an extra 10 free spins and adding an incrementally increasing multiplier to the values of the Money symbols.
Players can also turn things up a notch with the Ante feature, selecting a bet multiplier of up to 15x for extra Scatters on the reels and increased chances of hitting the free spins round.
Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™ builds on the popularity of earlier titles in Pragmatic Play’s popular Big Bass franchise. The slot pays homage to the original theme, but adds additional features and opportunities for creating wins, which offers a new twist for fans of the series to enjoy.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Our Big Bass franchise has seen incredible success with players, so we’re excited to up the ante with the addition of Big Bass Amazon Xtreme™ to Pragmatic Play’s ever-expanding Slot portfolio.
“Special modifiers in the free spins round add an exciting new element to the familiar gameplay that players know and love, alongside chances to win random prizes with Money symbols in the base game to set the scene for a big catch.”

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
