Bears Make Bank! Power Combo Slot Review
Are any of you surprised that nudism, also known as naturism, originated in Germany? I didn’t think so. 🇩🇪
What is surprising and upsetting, if you ask me, is that the movement is non-sexual. Boo! But it did make me laugh when I read that nudists like to keep their environments “family-friendly.” Wowsers. 😳
I’m more of a fan of “topfreedom” – allowing women to be topless in the same context as men. Hail equality, I say! If the ladies want to get the puppies 🐶🐶 out for a breath of fresh air, who are we to prohibit them?
Now onto some other bare, I mean bear 🧸 necessities: this is Bears Make Bank! Power Combo slot from Quickfire.
Gameplay
Bears aren’t afraid to raid a human settlement in search of food, and it’s clear that the 3 Bears (Expand, Collect, and Multiply) that you’ll see above the reels, have been up to no good as a cop runs out in search of them when you fire up this game for the first time.
The setting is a bank vault, and there’s a whole whack of dynamite sitting to the left of the 5x3 grid. Also to the left are the 3 Jackpots: the Minor pays 25x, the Major pays 100x, and the Grand pays 5,000x – but we’ll get into how you can win these in the features section.
The high symbols are jewelry, gold, or cash, and the Wild replaces all symbols other than Scatters.
This is a fiat-only game, with the exception of the ruble and yen, which you won’t be able to play with.
Stats-wise, we have 40 paylines, a 96.15% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate., and a medium volatility rate. And while you might think the latter means you won’t be able to win a lot of greenbacks, there is, in fact, a top prize worth $249,000 on offer here. The max multiplier is 8,300x.
Features
VAULT BUSTER:
Prize symbols (these are vaults) appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the base game, and 3 Prize symbols will trigger this round.
You’ll be asked to pick a Prize symbol, which will reveal a cash prize or a Bonus (in other words, the Minor or Major Jackpot).
If you have the Autoplay function on, the software will pick one of the Prize symbols for you by default, but you can toggle this option off in the settings.
LINK AND WIN:
The 3 Bears – there’s a blue, purple, and red one – are our Power Combo Scatters. Each one that lands is collected by its corresponding Bear above the reels and any of these Scatters can randomly trigger the Link and Win feature.
The feature starts with 3 spins and 3 Coins on the reels, with additional Coins resetting the spin counter when they land.
You can land Bonus/Jackpot symbols during the round, with the Grand Jackpot awarded if you fill all grid positions.
The Power Combo Scatters bring modifiers to bear 😆🐻 so the round can trigger with that Scatter’s modifiers, or a combination of modifiers.
Blue Power Combo Scatter: Triggering the round with this symbol brings Expanding Reels to the game, and that will increase the grid size to 5x5.
Purple Power Combo Scatter: This little bear brings the Multi Boost modifier to the round. The reels are divided into 4 color zones (or 6 zones if the reels have been expanded).
Each zone carries a multiplier value of 2x, 3x, 4,x, or 5x; at the start, these are randomly assigned. Fill a zone with symbols and at the end of the round, all prizes within that zone are multiplied by its multiplier.
Then there’s the Piggy symbol, which will upgrade a zone’s multiplier by 1x if it appears. You can even have more than one Piggy landing simultaneously, or on successive spins. Once the upgrade has happened, the Piggy transforms into a Coin and the spin counter resets.
Red Power Combo Scatter: This one brings the Instant Collect modifier into play. A Collect symbol (a bag of moolah) could land on any of the reels and when that happens, it will collect all Coin symbols and award their values. Plus the spin counter will reset.
Performance
Happily, the game didn’t time out after a split second of inattentiveness. It also played perfectly fine across all devices and browsers.
Maximum Win
Combine a $30 bet (the minimum is $0.20) with the 8,300x max multiplier for a payday worth $249,000.
Conclusion
Bears Make Bank! Power Combo slot certainly rewards you if you’re playing with more moolah. I found that the features triggered more quickly over the course of, say, 100 spins when I tested this theory back-to-back.
I loved playing this game, and I think I felt that way due to a combination of factors: the superb graphics and animations, and the fact that I was triggering features pretty regularly. Which meant that I didn’t miss the absence of a Buy Bonus or Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature..
And, lest we forget, the stats are unassailable, which elevates the game in my eyes.
