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

Introduction 

Grizzly Wins is one of the free slot games developed by Bwin.Party and has a grizzly bear wilderness theme. It comes with a raft of features that offer some really fun gameplay and which this Grizzly Wins slot review will introduce.

There are 9 regular symbols in the game: the roaring grizzly, grizzly eating a salmon, grizzly with cubs, grizzly in a tree, and a black bear, as well as classic playing card suits of hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. In addition, the game has wilds, scatters, and bonus symbols.

The ‘Wild’ substitutes anything except for scatter and bonus symbols and appears on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5. There’s also the ‘Wild x3’ symbol that appears on reels 1, 3, and 5 and will apply a 3x multiplier to wins. As for the free spins symbol, it awards free spins. 

When it comes to special symbols, there’s the ‘Bonus’ symbol, which is what grants access to the Hibernation Sensation bonus game, and then there’s the ‘Thunder Valley’ symbol that can be collected for a chance of getting a large potential cash pot prize. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Grizzly Wins’ theme is set in the wilderness, and the star of the show is the grizzly bear. This conjures images of bear country with mountains and the various bear symbols, such as the roaring grizzly, the grizzly with her cubs, and the grizzly eating a salmon.

A fun amount of animation is used, such as claw marks and the roaring bear that comes to life when wild combinations land on the reels.

The soundtrack is a dramatic, adventurous piece that you’d expect to accompany a movie that’s set in the wilderness.

Grizzly Wins RTP and Variance 

The theoretical return to player of this slot machine is estimated to be 95% RTP, which is fairly average among online slots. The game offers a mixture of lower but more frequent payouts and higher potential payouts that are less frequent, making this a medium-variance slot. 

How to Play Grizzly Wins

If you can’t ‘bear’ to wait any longer, start playing in a few steps:

1. First, check out the paytable by pressing the ‘i’ symbol in the bottom left and scrolling right.
2. While you’re there, keep scrolling to see the 50 paylines.
3. If you prefer, turn off the audio by pressing the speaker symbol in the top right.
4. Next, select your preferred bet level by pressing the + and - buttons underneath ‘BET’ in the bottom left.
5. If you want, press the ‘Autospin’ button to the left of the start button to reveal your options.
6. For manual spins, just press the start button whenever you’re ready.
7. Remember to always gamble responsibly. We make good use of features such as self-exclusions and timeouts to help, but you must always walk away if the fun stops. 

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

The minimum total bet level on this Grizzly Wins slot machine is 0.01 and the maximum total bet level is 30.00. This gives a nice wide range of wagering options. The game's paytable illustrates what the potential prizes are for each symbol, but some of the top paytable wins could include:

• 2000 for roaring grizzly symbols
• 1000 for grizzly bear with cubs symbol
• 350 for grizzly eating salmon

The game can pay out from left to right, right to left, or both, and will pay only the highest winning combination on a payline.

Grizzly Wins Bonus Features 

Compared to many free slot games, this one has plenty of bonus fun to offer. First, the Hibernation Sensation bonus game is triggered when 3 or more ‘bonus’ symbols land on the reels. The player must pick from the fruit and nuts without waking the bear; 3 strikes, and you’re out. There are prizes of up to 10,000 for grabs.

Also, there are the free spins that are triggered by the ‘free spins’ symbols. Landing 3 gives 10 free spins and 4 gives you 20, while 5 symbols give 30 free spins. Additional spins can be gained if a +1 symbol appears during the free spins themselves.

Last but not least, there’s the chance of bagging the Thunder Valley Cashpot. Players will notice a meter under the gameboard. This requires the collection of 50 Thunder Valley symbols, which can randomly appear during the base and free games. To its right, there’s a cash pot value that increases as the meter fills up.

Overall Grizzly Wins Review 

As far as online slots go, Grizzly Wins is one of the more fun ones we’ve reviewed. The graphics and theme are well-executed and exciting; our favourite was the roaring grizzly who appears and claws the gameboard when you land wilds.

There are plenty of bonus features on offer here, too, making the game really fun to play. We liked the Hibernation Sensation game and had fun trying to steal the bear’s fruit and nuts without waking him up. 

Our only gripe was that it seemed to take a while to trigger any free spins, but then it’s just down to luck.
