Bonus Bears slot review
Bonus Bears is a Playtech slot set in a nature reserve, played on five reels and three rows with 25 paylines. It has two separate bonuses: bear wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4 together award 15 free games with all wins tripled, and three or more beehive scatters start the Honey feature.

How Bonus Bears plays
The symbols follow life in the reserve, with a red-haired park ranger, a picnic basket, bees and a skunk on the reels. Wins pay along 25 lines.
The bear is the wild. It appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for every symbol except the beehive scatter, so it can complete line wins as well as lead to the free games.
Volatility is listed as low to medium, which usually means smaller, more frequent wins than a high-volatility slot, although no spin can be predicted.
Free games and the Honey feature
The free games are triggered by wilds, not scatters. When the bear lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin, you get 15 free games with every win tripled, and more bears in the round can retrigger them.
Three or more beehives anywhere on the reels start the Honey feature, a pick round set among five trees. You choose a tree for the bear to climb, each honey pot he finds pays a prize, and the round ends once he has collected five pots or finds a beehive.
Keeping the two bonuses on different triggers is what sets Bonus Bears apart: the wild pattern on the middle three reels decides the free games, while the beehive scatters lead to the pick round.
