Bonus Bears (Playtech) – Review & Demo Play

Bonus Bears – Be Careful, Take Your Honey

I jumped into Bonus Bears for a day in the mountains and it plays like a good mid-paced game. It's a Playtech video slot with 5 reels of 3 rows to spin and 25 paylines, set in a cartoon styled woodland with bees, a ranger and a skunk. The RTP sits at 95.17%, and the setup leans on a wild, a beehive scatter, free spins with a multiplier, and a pick bonus. It stays friendly while still packing enough action.

Bonus Bears Gameplay and Prizes

I start by selecting my coin value, setting an allowance for reasonable betting, then picking the line bet and how many paylines to keep active. With 25 lines, I like running them all, but you can set the quantity of paylines to manage risk. Hit Spin and you're straight into the woodlands; each round adds wins to the bankroll. When I need figures at a glance, the paytable lays out the returns by symbol and line length.

The bet range goes from 0.01 up to 25, which keeps staking flexible across sessions. Max win is stated at x5000, so there's headroom for decent hits when features connect. With medium volatility, I tend to see frequent but smaller wins between features, with the bigger swings saved for free spins or the pick round. That pattern fits a steady session plan, letting me pace the bankroll while aiming for the rounds that do the heavy lifting.

Bonus Bears Symbols And Paytable

The bear is the Wild. On the paytable it pays x10 for 5, x2 for 4, x0.5 for 3, and x0.1 for 2 of a kind, while also standing in to build line wins. The beehive is the Scatter, paying up to x500 for 5, x100 for 4, x10 for 3, and x0.5 for 2 anywhere. I like that the scatter handles its own payouts apart from lines, which keeps base game hits ticking over while you chase features.

High pays sit with the top character symbols. One band shows 5 paying x100, 4 x30, 3 x5, and 2 x0.4. Next there are mid-tier icons with 5 paying x50, 4 x10, 3 x2.5. Another on the same tier mirrors that x50/x10/x2.5 line, giving a tidy core of mid-range hits. These values line up with the game's mid-paced feel, where stacked smalls and the odd upper-line help bridge to features.

Lower pays are spread across sets that read 5 x20, 4 x5, 3 x1.5, then 5 x15, 4 x2.5, 3 x1, and the lowest at 5 x10, 4 x2, 3 x0.5. There are paired symbols at each of those steps, so the grid often lands small returns while you wait on triggers. With configurable winlines, it's straight to match the paytable against your line count and bet, then judge how far you want to stretch a session.

Bonus Bears Features and Bonuses

The Honey Bonus arrives when three beehive Scatters land, shifting to a pick screen where the bear climbs trees, collecting honeypots until a hive ends the round; prizes from each pick add up. Free spins come from the Wild appearing on reels 2, 3, and 4 at once, awarding 15 free games, and all winnings are tripled during that run. I've retriggered the set the same way inside the feature, which keeps the momentum rolling when the grid behaves.

Verdict Bonus Bears – Be Dare, Become the Winner

For me Bonus Bears is a good pick for both hardcore old-school gamblers and newcomers. It's friendly enough for a first spin, with everything you need for a comfortable game, while keeping room for a jackpot-style x5000 ceiling. Being able to set the quantity of paylines helps calculate risk, and the mix of wilds, free spins and a pick round keeps the woods lively. I stick with all lines active when I want the action to flow.

I like the cartoon styled park, the ranger, the skunk and the bee, and the way the features tie into the theme. When the wilds line up for the 15, that 3x multiplier can turn a tidy base into a picnic of wins. The Honey Bonus makes you help the bear get his dinner while stacking prizes from trees. It's an arcade slot machine that stays playful while still handing out enough substance to keep me spinning.
