Developed by Push Gaming, the online slot experience is known as Boss Bear. It transports players into a vibrant game environment characterised by a 6x5 grid layout offering 50 distinct pathways to secure victories. The game features an array of nine symbols that grant rewards when players land combinations ranging from 3 to 5 of the same kind, with an exception made for the panda symbol, which generously awards players for combinations of 2 or more.
The array of symbols within Boss Bear is strategically divided into categories based on their value. The lower-value symbols are represented by the classic card suits: diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades. These symbols, when aligned in a 5-of-a-kind (5 OAK) configuration, yield a payout equivalent to 0.8 times the player's bet. Elevating in value, the medium-tier symbols are depicted as a ninja star and a pistol, offering payouts that range between 2 to 4 times the bet for a 5 OAK winning combination. The highest echelon of symbols is personified by animal characters: a wolf, a monkey, and the highest-paying panda, with the latter capable of rewarding players with a staggering 10 to 100 times their bet for a 5 OAK combination. Wilds, which also carry the same payout potential as the panda symbol, serve as versatile substitutes for any standard pay symbols and can appear across all reels.
A unique feature within both the base game and free spins rounds is the presence of Reveal symbols. These symbols have the potential to land in stacks on any part of the reels and upon landing, unveil a uniform symbol type across their positions—either wilds or regular pay symbols. Furthermore, when Reveal symbols make an appearance on three or more consecutive reels, irrespective of their specific locations, they undergo a transformation into Golden Reveal symbols. Each slot that harbours a Golden Reveal symbol morphs into a Coin, which then cycles through a variety of prizes, adding an element of suspense and potential reward.
The excitement escalates with the introduction of the Gamble feature, activated upon landing 3 or 4 scatter symbols. This feature presents players with the opportunity to gamble the free spins they've acquired in hopes of attaining more lucrative free spin outcomes. However, it's a high-stakes game where unsuccessful gambles result in the forfeiture of all free spins, adding a layer of strategic risk to the gameplay.
