Bear Upswing

Theme & Atmosphere

Bear Upswing is set in a dark, smoky club with neon lights and a fully stocked bar in the background. A high roller poker game is underway, and you’re going to take those poker players into the slots world and show them who’s boss. The reels are full of classic poker game symbols like the Stack of Cash, Chips, and Cards, as well as the motley crew of card sharps. 

Feature Overview

Mystery Block symbols can appear on the reels on any spin. This big Block will cover 4 positions, forming a square. One Block counts as four symbols, and it can be any symbol, apart from the Scatter. That means a Wild Block symbol is possible, which is a fantastic way to win big.

3, 4, or 5 Scatters on the screen take you to 10, 15, or 25 Free Spins, respectively. One Block symbol will appear on every spin, along with a Multiplier worth up to 5x. Another 3 or more Scatters re-trigger the feature. 

Technical Specs & Mechanics

For the Bear Upswing slot, the designers used 5 reels and 3 rows. Instead of paylines, they added a Ways to Win mechanic, with 243 total. With this design, all you need is at least three matching symbols to appear on adjacent reels, from left to right, to get a payout. 

Bet & Paytable Analysis

Bear Upswing offers a very low starting bet at only 0.10 per spin, which is perfect for trying out the game. If you like what you see, you can increase your bets up to 500 per spin. The lower end of the paytable is represented by the Cards, Clock, Poker Chip, Ring, and Stack of Cash. They pay anywhere from 2x to 6x for five identical symbols on a Way to Win. The Owl, Dog, Puma, and Boar pay from 10x to 30x, while the Bear pays the most, with 40x for a five-of-a-kind win.
