Roar of the Bear Megaways Slot

Graphics, Audio & Symbols Roar of the Bear Megaways

When we played the slot a bear welcomed us with a mighty roar, props to iSoftBet for making it authentic. We like the audio which has a Native American ring to it with a touch of Western influence.

It almost felt like some tribal native American chief could pop off the screen at any moment. Saying, in that typical Indian drawl: “Me big chief, now we smoke peace pipe”.

We also noted four symbol tracker reels, you’ll see one below and one above the reel set. The symbols on the grid are low and high-value, the low pays are the cards from 10 to Ace.

The top symbols are the cougar, wolf, raccoon, owl, and moose. Payouts ensue when 6 matching symbols appear on the grid. The Cascading engine removes the winners, and new symbols pitch on the tracker reels too.

Finally, the bear is the wild symbol that steps in to help achieve winning combinations.

What We Like and Don’t Like About Roar of the Bear Megaways Slot

It’s a case of deja vu for us because we’ve played so many slots with the theme over the years. The number of bonus games it has is impressive but those blank reels leave a bitter taste.

We can’t fault the graphics and animations and the audio track pops. The Megaways reel set up to 200,704 is just for the show. To be honest, we can’t see why slot studios even bother with it.

It’s like showing a piece of candy with no sugar in it.

Tips & Strategy

We contacted BitStarz and asked them to give us a small free chip to try the game. We told them we were busy reviewing this slot. They usually give us a small free chip but they declined this time.

Come to think of it we’re glad they did because we had a dismal time playing it. If you’re into the theme and you like the special features, play it for the minimum credits.

How to Win Money Roar of the Bear Megaways

You need a lot of luck winning money when you play this online slot. After 50 spins at the lowest stake, we didn’t win much. We gave the feature buy option a go and the results were spectacular!

Pictures this, we won 27 free spins which cost us $20, and won $130,92. That’s a win of 654.6x the stake, or a profit of $110.92. At least that proves the wins can be massive even for the lowest stake.

Verdict: Roar of the Megaways Slot

All the bits and pieces of the slot are good, but it’s the free spins feature that makes it interesting. A new screen opens up hurling free spins and golden paws all over the place.

The reel at the top, and the one below spins. As long as the golden paw keeps on landing in them that means extra free spins. We managed a hefty 27 of them and a win of $130.92.

What makes that win sweet is that we played the slot for the minimum bet. The free spins are a tad boring since it just keeps going on and on. The moral of the story here is every slot has that something special to offer.

In this case, play it for small stakes, and if need be go the buy option route. Not a bad slot but it buckles under its weight at times, especially in the base game.

iSoftBet’s Gimme the Honey Megaways is a real peach, as it has two different wilds, multipliers, and Cascades.
