Big Mighty Bear is a medium volatile forest animal slot from Ino Games, and reel 1 provides 1 to 5 symbols per spin for up to 8 paylines. You can land a big bear symbol in size 3x3 or 4x4, and this can crack the 15,000x max win. You get a respin if no win comes from it, and there is also a Bonus Round and a Sweet Bonus feature.
The game takes you deep into the forest. The cartoonish visuals are nicely done, and the big brown bear takes center stage in most of the features. The top-tier Bear symbol can appear in sizes up to 4x4, and this can lead to massive wins also in the base game.
The first reel sticks out like a sore thumb for a reason, and it gives you 1 to 5 symbols per spin. The number of win ways will thus vary accordingly, topping out at 8. You even get a respin if the big sized bear symbol doesn't land you a win at the first attempt, and there is a Sweet Bonus to look forward to as well. You also get a regular free spins round, and the 15,000x potential can be cracked in all stages of the game.
Just as you enter the forest, snapping your fingers to a jaunty tune, you stand in front of an irregular reel setup, where the first one is slightly taller than the rest and dripping with honey. The remaining playing area consists of 4 reels, each 4 symbols high. Once you start spinning, you'll notice that the number of icons on the leftmost column changes randomly between 1 and 5, which highly randomizes the chances of scoring a win. Those are traditionally formed out of 3 matching symbols following one of 8 lines. However, depending on the composition of the first column, the setup of those patterns changes slightly, which is a unique approach, so it's worth referring to the paytable to check what you can expect.
There are several symbols in the Big Mighty Bear slot that relate to the theme. The symbols come in both low-paying and high-paying categories, honeycomb, bear paw, ace, king, queen, and flower.
The symbols are divided into low, medium, and high pay symbols, and the medium to high range pays between 12.5 and 37.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind. There are no wild symbols to help you out in this game, but you are compensated by several special symbols we’ll take a closer look at below. The first reel will land between 1 and 5 symbols per spin, while reels 2 to 5 always come packed with 4 symbols each.
The top-tier Big Bear symbol can land in size 3x3 or 4x4 at random times, and it will cover reels 2 to 5 when depending on the size. You need a bear symbol on reel 1 and possibly reel 2 to create a win with the big bear symbol, and it’s possible to crack the 15,000x potential from this feature. This requires 5 bear symbols on reel 1, and a 4x4 sized bear on reels 2 to 5.
If you land a big bear symbol of size 3x3 or 4x4 without creating a win, you trigger the Honey Respin feature. You also get the feature should the 4x4 symbol land partly in view as a 3x4 symbol. All reels not affected by the big bear symbol will then respin to give you a new chance of winning a larger payout, but the number of symbols on reel 1 will be the same as on the triggering spin. The Big Bear Frenzy is a random feature that triggers on occasions in the base game. It increases your chances of landing the big bear symbol.
You need a free spins scatter on reel 1, as well as 4 scatters on reels 2 to 5 to trigger the Bonus Round. You get the same amount of free spins as the number of triggering scatters, which means that 21 free spins is the most you can hope for. You get between 5 and 21 spins in other words, and the number of symbols on reel 1 remains the same as for the triggering spin.
The Sweet Bonus triggers from one bonus symbol on reel 1, as well as at least 2 bonus symbols on reels 2 to 5. The feature plays out on a new 4x4 sized grid with 4 symbols and an x2 multiplier. The symbols come with values between 0.5 and 4 x your stake, and the bear symbol extracts the value from the paw before the paw is removed. The bee extracts the value of the flower before it is removed.
This value extraction feature only happens on the current spin, and multiplier symbols boost the value of all present symbols when they appear. You need 5 bear paws, 4 flowers, or 3 bear symbols to win, and the multiplier symbol is removed after being applied. Your total win is summed up as the feature ends.
