Boss Bear Slot Review

If I were to pick a bear that I’d cast as the boss of a gang of bad-ass forajidos, it certainly wouldn’t be a panda. I’d go for a polar bear or a grizzly dripping saliva from its gaping maw.

But maybe Push Gaming is onto something. Boss Bear slot’s panda could be the Ursidae (the fancy-pants Latin name for the bear genus) equivalent of Miklo in the epic 1993 movie Bound by Honor. 🍿🎬

If you haven’t watched it then let me fill you in. Miklo is this blue-eyed, half-white, half-Hispanic dude who doesn’t quite fit in with either culture, but who identifies as Latina. He’s not as tough as his ex-Golden Gloves cousin Paco, but he desperately wants to belong to the barrio gang. 🥊

Paco turns from gangster to cop and shoots Miklo in the leg, which has to be amputated. But back in San Quentin, Miklo puts events into play that result in him becoming the leader of the Mexican prison gang despite him being the least obvious dude to pull this off.

Sounds cool, yeah? Let’s see if this game will elevate us to jefe or leave us floundering as a soldado. 🐼

Gameplay

It’s not Califas that’s our hood for Boss Bears slot but an alleyway somewhere in Japan. The grid is a 5x6-reel affair that perfectly suits gameplay on a phone in vertical mode. Here, the current balance and bet are at the top of the screen, rather than at the bottom with the controls.

You can also rock Boss Bear slot in landscape mode, but it doesn’t look nearly as good.

The Wild symbol replaces all others except for the Scatter, Reveal, and Golden Reveal symbols. The high-paying symbols are a cigar-smoking panda, a monkey with an Elvis coiffeur, and a wolf with a samurai sword.

There’s also a pistol and a shuriken (what most people call a Ninja Star), and then you get the low-paying symbols.

Boss Bear slot has 50 paylines, an 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. of 96.47%, and a high volatility rate. You can play with fiat money, but not the Polish złoty, Japanese yen, or Russian ruble.

A gigantic 25,000x multiplier can yield a win worth €312,500 if you pair it with a wager of €12.50.

Features

Symbols: we’ve got loads of them in this game, so it’s time to go through which one does what.

REVEAL SYMBOL (green square with a swirly design):

These symbols can land in stacks anywhere on the reels during the base game and Free Spins round. They will then reveal either Wilds or paying symbols, but always of the same type.

Land Reveal symbols on 3 or more consecutive reels and they’ll turn into Golden Reveal symbols.

GOLDEN REVEAL SYMBOL (gold square with a swirly design):

If this symbol lands on at least 3 consecutive reels, all Reveal symbols will turn into Golden Reveal ones and the Coin feature will be triggered.

COIN FEATURE:

Golden Reveal symbols will transform into Coins and the positions on all the reels will start spinning.

One of the following – Instant Prize symbols, Multiplier symbols, Scatters, Collector symbols, or Nudge symbols – will take up a position on the reels.

Instant Prize symbols can carry values of 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 500x, or 1,000x.

Multiplier symbols can have values of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x and they’ll boost the value of visible Instant Prize symbols and Collector symbols.

Collector symbols have a “C” in the middle of em, and when they land, they’ll grab the values of Instant Prize and other Collector symbols.

Nudge symbols look like a compass with a North/South pointer. When these land, any Golden reveal symbols on the same reel will expand and cover that reel.

Bonus symbols are actually Scatters and they do what Scatters do.

FREE SPINS:

Landing 3 Scatters awards 7 spins with no low-paying symbols being converted into Reveal symbols

Landing 4 Scatters awards 8 spins with 2 low-paying symbols converting into Reveal symbols

Landing 5 Scatters awards 9 spins with 4 low-paying symbols transforming into reveal symbols

Whenever Scatters land, they’re collected in a low-paying symbols meter. Four Scatters on the reels means low-paying symbols are converted to Reveal symbols. Each low-paying symbol that gets converted awards extra spins and multiplier upgrades.

  • 1st low-paying symbol converted to a Reveal symbol: awards 2 more spins and a 2x multiplier
  • 2nd low-paying symbol converted to a Reveal symbol: awards 3 more spins and a 3x multiplier
  • 3rd low-paying symbol converted to a Reveal symbol: awards 3 more spins and a 5x multiplier
  • 4th low-paying symbol converted to a Reveal symbol: awards 2 more spins and a 10x multiplier

GAMBLE FEATURE:

This feature gets triggered when you land 3 or 4 Scatter Bonuses in the base game or during the Coin feature. But you’re not gambling for money here; it’s for spins. So, you have a chance to get more spins or win all of the spins you might’ve had.

BUY BONUS:

You have 3 options if you don’t want to stick it out in the base game:

Full-Screen Golden Reveal Feature: 300x your bet – this starts with a reel full of Reveal symbols, that turn into Golden Reveal symbols, that triggers the Coin feature

5 Bonus Symbols Free Spins: 600x your bet

Random Free Spins: 100x your bet

ANTE (PUSH) BET:

Toggle this option on – you can do it where you go to change your bet – and it will increase your chances of triggering a feature by 50%. It will cost you 20% of your current wager.

Performance

Boss Bear slot displayed reliability during the hundreds of spins I sent its way while testing the game. I have no errors or glitches to report.

Maximum Win

If you’re a numbers guy then take a look at these bad boys:

  • 12.50 – this is the maximum wager and will put you in line for the top prize. Ten cents is the minimum bet
  • 25,000 – this is the largest multiplier on offer and it’s a doozy
  • 312,500 – and this is how much you could be paid out

Conclusion

Boss Bear slot ain’t for newbies; let’s just make that abundantly clear. There’s a lot to wrap your head around regarding the various symbols and features, and what they do.

And with so much moolah on the line, it wouldn’t surprise you to know that triggering the Free Spins round or the Coin feature required some effort (that was my experience, at least).

You might score by not having to wager stupid amounts to be in line for the top prize but should you use the 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. or the Buy Bonus, you’ll see the money flow out of your wallet at a rate of knots.

And if you have a run as uneventful as mine was, you’ll be forced to use the Buy Bonus so be sure to budget for that possibility.
