Reflex Gaming reels in festive fun with the launch of Big Game Fishing Christmas Catch

Released in collaboration with Yggdrasil, this festive instalment brings a sleigh-full of new features, big-win potential and the unmistakable charm that has made the Big Game Fishing series a standout performer across markets.

Big Game Fishing Christmas Catch reels players into a joyful seasonal adventure with Fred the fisherman, who returns with a glittering tackle box of new mechanics. Players can choose between two base game modes, including Max Play, where the reels are stripped back to only Fish, Fishermen and Bonus symbols for pure catch-chasing momentum. Activating Golden Bet adds extra excitement, awarding an extra chance of winning free spins whenever two Bonus symbols land.

The Free Spins round ramps up the action even further. Depending on the number of Bonus symbols landing, players can begin with up to 20 spins, starting at higher levels with added trail progress. Throughout the feature, Fishermen collect all Cash Fish in view, apply their multipliers and push players to fill the 9-stage trail toward progressively bigger catches. Every three Fishermen collected, upgrade the fish values, award 10 extra spins and unlock the next level – culminating in the thrilling chase for the 5000× Golden Pike. Fishermen can even lock onto the reels while waiting to reel in the next big win, boosting anticipation and engagement.

Additional highlights include the Hook a Bonus feature, where fishing rods can appear after a base game spin to pull bonus symbols onto the reels, a Dual Gamble feature, offering two gamble wheels (one for bigger cash prizes, and the other for free spins), and a Bonus Buy option where players can pay x125 to buy Free Spins with their choice of bet size.

Mat Ingram, Chief Product Officer at Reflex Gaming, said: “Big Game Fishing has become one of our most successful and recognisable brands, so delivering a festive edition felt like the perfect next step. Christmas Catch brings a joyful twist to the core mechanics while adding new layers of anticipation and player choice. The big-win potential is enormous, and the upgrade trail in Free Spins creates some of the most exciting moments we’ve produced in the series. We can’t wait for players to dive in.”

Big Game Fishing Christmas Catch launches 9 December across Yggdrasil’s network of operators.
