Giant Grizzly - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Giant Grizzly is a 5 reel slot with 432 ways to win. Set in the idyllic North American mountains, the peaceful surroundings are about to be severely disrupted… by the namesake of the slot, a Giant Grizzly bear!

The symbols in Giant Grizzly stick with the mountain forest theme: moose, hare, salmon, some mushrooms and juicy looking raspberries. The card face symbols 10 to Ace are represented by the corresponding number / letter laid out in wood, stone and flowers.

The bonus features available make for a very attractive and thrilling slot game. There are 3 different types of Wild that will hit the reels. They include the Expanding Wild, which straddles the reels 3 x 3 if it lands on a highlighted square; the Action Wild, which will dole out cash prizes instantly when appearing on a highlighted area; then you have the Rampage Wild, a substitution of the 2 which appears during free games, leading to double the awards on the grizzly cascading wheels. There is a Free Games symbol, which will reward the player - you guessed it - with free games when you land 3 anywhere on the cascading reels at once.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Giant Grizzly = Gnarly Graphics!

An isolated wooden cabin with smoking chimney. A carved wooden totem pole with scurrying squirrel. Beautiful surrounding forest and mountainous scenery complete with fluttering butterflies and soaring eagles. But the idyllic scene is soon to be blown up, according to the yellow metal sign warning, ‘CAUTION: BEAR IN AREA’…

The loading scene is a picture of a roaring, terrifyingly fierce looking grizzly brown bear, surrounded by flames. The graphics are impressive, with the stunning scenic background and the detailed symbols on the reels. There are real life video excerpts of snarling and fighting bears when wilds are activated, which adds to the thrill of the game and, of course, carries on the grizzly theme. The soundtrack is an uplifting chorus of synth, calming rhythmic drums and bird song, only interrupted when the grizzly comes a-calling.

Grizzly Bonus Features

Giant Grizzly is full of exciting bonus features, with extensive Wild options and free spins.

Action Wild - this wild collects the cash prize stated in any highlighted area that it falls into. This can substitute for any symbol except the scatter (Free Games symbol).

Expanding Wild - the expanding grizzly wild will cover the full reel it lands on with a large black and white image of a bear, increasing your cash prize. This can also substitute for any symbol except the scatter (Free Games symbol).

Rampage Wild - combining the characteristics of both the Action and Expanding Wilds, the Rampage will double your awards won on the cascading reels of the free spins games.

Free Games - if you land 3 of the Free Games symbols (complete with bear paw print) in one spin, anywhere on the reels, you trigger the free spins bonus reels. These are 3 x 3 cascading reels, which will continue to spin until there has been no new win.
