Bonus Bears lives up to its name by providing several bonus features. These bonus rounds maintain the game's excitement and interest level.
The Free Spins feature activates when you get the Bear symbol to show up on reels 2, 3, and 4 at the same time. When this occurs, players are gifted 15 free spins along with a 3x multiplier. It's also possible to win extra spins and initiate the Honey Feature during this round of free spins.
The Honey Feature is turned on when you get 3 or more of the Beehive Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. You will be taken to a forest setting where you will have to choose trees for the bear to climb. If he retrieves a honey pot you will awarded with 2x your stake. If he retrieves a beehive the game will end.
In Bonus Bears, the symbol that pays the most is the Park Ranger. She gives players up to 5,000 coins when they get 5 of her in a winning combo. Next up in terms of payouts is the Skunk, which awards 1,000 coins for 5 in a row. After that comes the Bee, which pays off 500 coins for the same number of combinations. The cheapest symbols here (when it comes to payouts, that is) are the card icons. They award somewhere between 100 and 200 coins for 5 of a kind.
Bonus Bears has some features to look forward to.
The symbol of Bear is also the symbol of Wild. This implies that the Bear can take the place of all different kinds of symbols that make up the game, except for the Beehive (which is a Scatter symbol). And this, of course, leaves you with a lot more chances to make a winning combination.
Apart from activating the Honey Feature, the Beehive Scatter also serves as its own symbol that can pay from 1 to 100 coins for various combinations.
Bonus Bears also caters to the player who prefers to participate in gaming while mobile. It is a game that can be played both on PC and on mobile devices, making it a great choice for the player on the go.

The symbol of the Beehive is the Scatter and it activates the Bonus Beehive.
The Wild is the Bear symbol and can substitute for all other game symbols as well as activates free spins and multipliers.
This unusual theme reminds one of the cartoon character "Yogi Bear," who loves to steal honey and picnic baskets. Playtech has done a great job with the presentation. The game has a lively, upbeat feel, thanks to the vibrant colors, the cheerful soundtrack, and the even more cheerful characters.
The game compensates for its somewhat basic graphics by offering a wide range of easily accessible features. There is ample opportunity to win in both the standard game and the mini-game bonuses.
