Playable from $0.10 to $500 per spin, this Playtech's game is very simple, set on trees where our furry friends live. The reels are populated with a wide variety of symbols, including playing cards, frogs, reptiles, moles and birds, with the latter being the most generous symbol of them all, awarding a payout worth 2.5x the bet for 5 across a payline.

The koala bear acts as Wild, appearing only on the three middle reels and substituting for all game icons bar Scatter.

Whenever Wild appears on the reels, it will climb to the top of the reel after wins are all paid out. Once 4 koalas are above a reel, the Wild Drop feature will be activated, with koalas dropping down on the reels. This can lead to 3 reels becoming fully wild, significantly increasing the chances of scoring huge wins.

To trigger the Free Games round, players will need to get at least 3 Scatters. The round starts with 10, 15 or 25 spins – depending on the number of Scatters used to activate it – with additional Scatters adding more spins to the count. The Wild Drop feature also applies during this feature.

Fear the Bear is a low-variance game, so its payouts will hardly have the power of changing your life, but it's entertaining enough to give it a go.
