Big Bear is a slot from Playtech that is themed on, well, you can probably guess that from the title.
In the world of wildlife themed slots, bears come arguably just after lions in terms of the number of slots based on them, meaning that Big Bear finds itself in a sea of competition from very similar slot.
About the slot
With five reels and 243 ways to win, Big Bear is playable from 10p to £500 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.
As you would expect, you are transported to a forest, with various animals including fish, otters, and wolves, with the eagle being the most lucrative symbols, paying 10x your bet for a full payline.
The lower values are represented on the reels by those staples of every forest, the 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A playing card symbols.
The wild is the big bear of the title, and it does not let us down in terms of size (or indeed in terms of being a bear).
This wild symbol will replace all but the scatter to aid with winning combinations, but only appears on the second and fourth reels.
Gameplay
There is only one feature to speak of here, but it does give you three options, making it feel more like three different Free Games features.
Land three or more to trigger up to 40x your stake (for five symbols), and one of three games, either 20 spins with a 2x multiplier for one wild and a 4x multiplier for two, 15 spins with those multipliers set at 3x and 9x, or 10 spins with 4x and 16x multipliers in play for wilds.
These options allow Big Bear to be a slot that features to different types of players, which is definitely a positive!
