How To Play Great Bear Mobile Slot
In this mystical Rainforest, the Great Bear is king. But there are plenty of other animals who might appear in a huge flock to give you wins of over 5,000x your bet.
The Great Bear slot is an IGT slot game with 5×3 reels and 20 paylines, with wild symbols and random upgrades of winning symbols in the base game, and in the win spins. Win Spins are free spins with guaranteed wins on each spin.
If that didn’t grab you, the slot’s theme will. Set in a beautiful rainforest, you have animals from the great north as the paytable symbols – no shortcuts here.
You have the salmon, mouse, rabbit, and raccoon on the lower end of the paytable, followed by the Owl, Eagle, Lynx, and Wolf at the higher end. But it’s the Great Bear symbol that will decide your fate as the wild.
The Great Bear Slot Social Climb Feature
The main feature in this Great Bear online slot is the Social Climb Feature. It does exactly what you would expect it to do and more. When you get a win, randomly, the game might decide to upgrade that symbol to the next one on the paytable.
But it will also upgrade all the other similar symbols on the reel, allowing for potentially bigger wins. And this might not just happen once, it could happen twice, three times, all the way to 9 times, and all your symbols are now Great Bear slot wilds.
Mostly it doesn’t get quite that high on the first round. But if it doesn’t, there is still the chance that the Great Bear will come stumbling out of the forest and keep the social climb going.
5 Guaranteed Win Spins with 3 Scatters
We love slots with Win Spins – from the Blinged slot to the Goonies Return review, they always get a little extra star. Because who doesn’t love a free spin bonus where you are guaranteed to get plenty of wins?
And you get plenty of wins in this Great Bear slot bonus games because when the Social Climb Feature shows up, it stays sticky throughout the bonus.
Of course, with only 5 spins, you might not get the Social Climb Feature and walk away disappointed. That’s just what happens in volatile IGT slots. You win some, you lose some.
But in this Great Bear game, when you get to the bonus, you win. And that’s a rare quality worth finding at a casino online.
