Big Mighty Bear Slot Information

Big Mighty Bear is located in a dreamlike forest that seems to be covered by a mist. When looking closely, you can see tree trunks and a beehive, and the illuminated reels are in the middle. The setup is different from most slots, with 5 reels containing 4 rows except the first reel, which is a little bigger with the space for 5 symbols. The first reel doesn’t always contain 5 symbols, though; it can have anything between 1 and 5 on a spin, while the rest always have 4 symbols. All wins must start on the first reel, containing at least 3 symbols of the same type on any of the 8 paylines. It’s only when the first reel has 5 symbols that all paylines are active at the same time.

The lower-paying symbols are Q, K, and A. They pay between 3.75X and 10X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The medium-paying symbols are pinecone, flower, and footprints from a bear paw. They will give you between 12.5X and 18.75X for a complete payline. The best-paying symbols are a beehive and the big drooling bear. They award between 22.5X and 37.5X the bet for a win containing 5 symbols. There’s no Wild Symbol but a Scatter Symbol that can trigger the free spins and a Bonus Symbol to trigger the Sweet Bonus. You will also find a Bee Symbol in the Sweet Bonus feature.

Big Mighty Bear Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Big Mighty Bear?

You can win up to 15000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Big Mighty Bear?

The features are Scatter Symbol, Bonus Symbol, Big Bear Feature, Honey Respin, Big Bear Frenzy, Sweet Bonus, and Free Spins.

Scatter Symbol

The Scatter Symbol says “free spins” in big block letters. To trigger the free spins, you need to land at least 1 Scatter on the first reel and at least 4 on reels 2-5. The number of symbols equals the number of free spins. In other words, you can win 21 free spins if all positions are covered in Scatters.

Bonus Symbol

The Bonus Symbol is a part of a beehive saying “bonus.” To trigger the Sweet Bonus, you need to land at least one Bonus Symbol on the first reel and at least 2 on reels 2-5.

Big Bear Feature

A large 3x3 or 4x4 bear symbol can appear on reels 2-5 after any spin. The symbol needs to be combined with a regular bear symbol on the first reel for a win to come true. A large symbol on reels 3-5 needs to be combined with bear symbols on the first two reels. Wins with the 4x4 symbol award 125X the bet and filling up all positions on reels 2-5 with a big bear while the first reel contains 5 bears will pay the Big Mighty Prize of 15000X the bet.

Honey Respin

The Honey Respin triggers when a 3x3 or 4x4 bear symbol lands on the reels without making a win. A 4x4 symbol appearing as 3x4 will also trigger the feature. The reel or reels not containing a large symbol will respin while the huge symbol stays. The number of symbols on the first reel will be the same as on the triggering spin.

Big Bear Frenzy

The Big Bear Frenzy triggers randomly in the base game, giving the 3x3 big bear symbol a higher chance of landing.

Sweet Bonus

The Sweet Bonus is played on a 4x4 grid with 4 symbols plus a 2X multiplier. The symbols and their values are:

Bear = 4X the bet

Bee = 2X the bet

Flower = 1X the bet

Bear Paw = 0.5X the bet

On every spin, one symbol will stay and display a multiplier value. Landing a bear symbol extracts the value from a bear paw and adds it to the bear before the bear paw is removed. Landing a bee symbol will extract the value of a flower, which is added to the bee before the flower is removed.

The bear and bee symbols can only extract values on the spin they land on. The multiplier symbol multiplies the value of all symbols on the reels when it lands. After a symbol value is multiplied, the multiplier is removed. You need to land 5 bear paws, 4 flowers, or 3 bears to win. The Bonus payout is the base pay of the winning symbols multiplied by the sum of all the winning symbol values on the reels.

Free Spins

The Free Spins are played with anything between 5 and 21 spins, depending on how many Scatters triggered the feature. The number of symbols on reel 1 stays the same during the feature, and spins can’t be retriggered.

Big Mighty Bear Slot Conclusion

You seldom see a bear that enjoys honey as much as the big furry mighty bear. Not only does he pay very well, he can also land as a colossal symbol covering 9 or 16 positions. Landing a colossal 4x4 bear accompanied by 5 bears on the first reel will give you the incredible Big Mighty Prize of 15000X the bet, which is also the game’s max win. It can trigger both in the base game and free spins.

The game’s setup is different from most slots. We appreciate innovative methods, but it can be a little hard to follow the 8 paylines at times. It might sound strange when the paylines are so few, but a big reason is that the number of symbols on the first reel changes, giving you fewer paylines on many spins. You also need a Scatter symbol on the first reel to trigger the free spins, no matter how many symbols you have on the rest of the reels.

When you start to get the hang of the game, it’s a lot of fun. You will observe the first reel carefully, since you need at least one symbol of your kind there, no matter what combination you’re aiming for. The RTP of 96.00% feels a tiny bit low, but definitely not too bad to play the game. The max win of 15000X the bet is great for a medium volatile game.

If you find the big mighty bear intimidating, you can check out the circus crew in Animal Carnival. For crazy animals making a mess all over the place, you should head straight to Animal Madness, where you will also find colossal symbols.

Big Mighty Bear from INO Games has an innovative game board where you can land up to 15000X the bet on one spin.
