Big Grizzly Slot Review

How to play

With lush bushes in the background, this video slot is smoothly designed to offer the same rich feeling of going for an actual hunt. It plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 30 fixed pay lines, all of which have to be wagered. You can set your bet manually (Max Bet isn't available) using the – and + buttons at the bottom right of your screen. The amount you can bet on each spin is between €0.30 and €60, which is pretty accommodating.

You may commence play by hitting the big round-arrow Spin button on the rightmost part of the reel set. Sitting above the Spin button is the Autoplay button, offering an opportunity to choose up to 1,000 auto-spins. The gameplay is more optimized for desktop play, you could try it yourself, though.

Symbols and payouts

The payouts symbols here complement the theme of the slot nicely. Wins on this slot would be awarded based on your line bet.

Leading the top-rewarding symbols is the Hunter, with 5 on a pay line offering 1,000x the line bet. Following it is the Hunt-assisting Dog that awards 750x the line bet for 5 matching symbols. The Coconut symbol awards 300x the line bet for landing 5 identical symbols. 

For matching 5 Fairy Plants on the reels, you will be rewarded with a 175x the line bet. Land 5 of the Orange symbol on a pay line and win 150x the line bet. For the card symbols, the A and K symbols will offer you 125 and 100x the line bet for landing 5 matching symbols, respectively. 5 of the Q and J symbols will have you winning 75x the line bet each.

The Bear is the wild symbol that will replace all other symbols during winning combinations, except the bonus, x2, and +2 symbols. The Yellow Hemp Leaf is the bonus symbol playing a valuable role in the bonus feature.

Big Grizzly bonus features 

The Big Grizzly bonus will start with the x2 Win Multiplier symbol that shows up alongside winning combinations. If you land 1 of this symbol, your wins will be multiplied by 2x. While 2 or 3 of it will multiply your wins by 4x or 8x.

Land 3 Yellow Leaf bonus symbols and the Pre Bonus Game feature will kick in. This feature will allow you to choose one of three prize wins. The first is the Bonus, which comes with a single level that offers an attempt at winning. There are ducks on the screen, select one to reveal prizes, starting with an outright win. You can also get a win and 1 additional attempt; a win and 2 additional attempts; or a win and 3 new attempts. Perhaps the most fun part of this feature is that you could be rewarded with multiplier values of 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, or 32x! An extra duck might be added to your tally at random.

If you get the Big Grizzly Free Spins feature, you will be awarded 4 free spins at first. As the free spins play out, 5 symbols on the reels will be transformed into wilds, making the feature more fun. The appearance of +2 symbols on the reels will award 2 extra free spins.

RTP and volatility

The Big Grizzly RTP comes at 96.01% and represents an acceptable RTP for a game of this kind. The game is highly volatile, indicating you could get big wins, but these will not come smoothly.
