Fishin' Bear Slot Review

There was a bit of internet hoopla😮 after some lady said she would rather have a bear around than a man. And that is wild to međŸ€Ł!

I don’t know if that lady has ever seen a bearđŸ», but they’re enormous killing machines that take down moose! Have you seen the size of a mooseđŸ«Ž? Moose weighs almost a ton! Imagine what a bear will do to any human!

I get it; she thinks men are bad. Also, some men are bad. However, bears—100% of them—will devour you. The bear in the Fishin' Bear slot from 3Oaks does not belong to this category. That bear appears to be strictly pescetarian🐟.

Gameplay

For some reason, fishing and slots go together like a horse and carriage. Just look at the wildly popular Big Bass series. But this time, we have something a little different. A bear sits in an inflatable boat with the 5 reels under the water.

There are 25 paylines to land matching symbols on, starting on the leftmost reel. The high symbols include your typical fishing paraphernalia: a boat, a tackle box, a pair of gum boots, and a fishing reel.

The Wild is the bear character, and it can substitute for all paying symbols, but it only appears on the middle reel.

There are also Fish symbols that have random cash values tied to your bet level or the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot prizes, but they only pay out during Free Spins.

The 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 the Fishin' Bear slot is 95.58%
, with a medium volatility rating. You can play with any currency you like, with the exception of the Japanese yen and Australian dollar.

Bets open at $0.10 and top out at $75. The biggest payout here is $187,500 by way of the maximum multiplier of 2,500x.

Features

FREE SPINS

Triggering Free Spins is a little random. Whenever the Wild symbol lands, it will toss one of two fish into the boat above the reels. The fish are added to the two piles of fish, and when one is complete, you’ll be granted 8 Free Spins.

If you fill both meters simultaneously, you’re granted 16 Free Spins.

During Free Spins, the Wild symbol is locked in place for the duration of the round. Plus, the 5th reel has a net on it, and any Fish symbols that land on that reel are stuck in place until the end of the feature and will be collected on every spin.

REWIND FEATURE

On any random base game or Free Spin, the Wild or Fish Rewind feature can trigger.

  • The Wild Rewind: Water will splash in the middlemost position on the reels and reveal a Wild symbol.
  • The Fish Rewind: This will splash any position and reveal either the Mini, Minor, or Major Jackpot symbols.

JACKPOTS

You can win one of the game's 4 static Jackpot prizes, each tied to your bet level, by landing the corresponding symbol.

  • Grand Jackpot = 1,000x your bet.
  • Major Jackpot = 50x your bet.
  • Minor Jackpot = 20x your bet.
  • Mini Jackpot = 10x your bet.

BUY BONUS

For the impatient players among us, there is a Buy Bonus, which will randomly award 8 or 16 Free Spins for 75x your base bet.

Performance

I didn’t encounter any bugs or glitches during my playthrough.

Maximum Win

The minimum bet is $0.10, and the maximum is $75. With an absolute maximum multiplier of 2,500x, the highest possible payoff here is $187,500.

Conclusion

Honestly, I feel like going out for seafood after playing this game. Lobster and tons of butter would go down a treat right now. I know I should eat before I play slots.

Aside from looking really good on PC and mobile, the sound track is cheerful and will put you in a good mood. This game remixes some classic game mechanics. Free Spins turns the sticky Wild symbol into a Collector feature.

It also makes the 5th reel sticky for Fish symbols. But guess what symbols don't appear on the reel very often? Yup, you’ll land more Fish symbols on the other reels, even when the handy Fish Rewind feature triggers.

This is very reminiscent of the Big Bass games, with the Collector mechanic kicking in during Free Spins. The game is bordering on generous with the number of Free Spins you get, either 8 or 16, and you can retrigger Free Spins.

If you’re a fan of fishing-themed slots but you want a bit of variety from the Big Bass slots, this is a good option.

PaylinesPaylines are preset lines that run across the reels, and when you land matching symbols on them, that will result in a payout. The more paylines, the more ways you can win, but also the higher your bet per spin.: 25
Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof).

The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a game’s RTP.
