Bonus Bears Slot

Are there treats in store if you go down to the woods today? Well there are a couple on offer in Bonus Bears, a 5 reel, 25 payline video slot from Playtech. Look out for a pick me round and a free spins feature where all wins are trebled. Play from between 25p and £1,250 per spin.



The main goodies on offer in this cartoon forest are as sweet as honey, namely a Free Games feature and Honey feature. To trigger the former, you'll need to land the wild bear symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. Once active, you'll be awarded 15 free spins, complete with a 3x multiplier which sees all wins trebled. You can re-trigger more free spins (so up to 30 in total) if the bears decide to make a second visit to the middle 3 reels.

The second, the Honey feature, is triggered when you land 3 or more beehive symbols anywhere on the reels - you'll be presented with a selection of 5 trees for the bear to climb. If he finds a honey pot, you'll be awarded a cash prize. Keep on picking until you find the beehive which brings the feature to a close.

You'll still win a prize of double the triggering bet when you do stumble upon the beehive - prizes of up to 100 times your bet are on offer here. You can trigger this variant of the pick me round in both the base game and free spins round.

Bonus Bears lives up to its name in that the bonuses come along on a fairly regular basis. The variance is in the low to medium range. We've become used to spectacular visuals from Playtech slots but Bonus Bears is a little underwhelming on that front. This is because this is an old slot which has been made available to play in your browser (previously only available via Playtech’s download product).

Symbols on the reels include picnic baskets, bees, skunks and a hoochy looking park ranger - the latter is the top payer, giving you a 5,000 coin payout if you're lucky enough to land 5 on a payline. The cartoon-style visuals are perfectly fine but just look a little tired compared to other titles from the Playtech stable.

The features in Bonus Bears are decent enough, especially the free spins with the 3x multiplier - we weren't as struck by the theme or the visuals for that matter. If you can get past that, there's some enjoyment to be had in this woodland adventure. Playtech offers you better slots though, with The Riches of Don Quixote and Top Gun recommended.
