Goldilocks and the Wild Bears Slots
This 5-reel layout, 25 pay-line slot by Quickspin might not initially live up to it’s name. Until, that is, the cuddly bears turn Wild! It’s a sweet and simple game with nice graphics, plenty of features and, just to add a little more fizz, you also get not 1 wild symbol, but 2.
The symbols are nicely designed and very appropriate to the feel of the game and, from a starting bet of 0.01 coin, you can play the full 25 pay-lines from 0.25 credits per spin up to a maximum of 250.00 per spin if you are a high-roller looking to hit the big time.
A Game With Bite
Goldilocks and the Wild Bears is a cutesy slot that also has a good bit of bite. The background design is restricted to a woodland theme, as is the audio which is nothing more irritating that soft bird song from the countryside. The symbols include Goldilocks herself, the 3 bears and then a variety of icons from a Cottage in the Woods, to a Teddy Bear and a bowl of Porridge. You also get some lower value icons in the usual format of cards from a poker deck and these range from 10 through to Ace.
Nice Bonus Feature
The first Wild of the game is the Cottage symbol and this will replace any symbol in the game to the exclusion of the Scatter. The second Wild though, which is the bowl of Porridge, is the more profitable of the 2 because it not only replaces any symbol on the reels to make up a winning combination but it also attracts a multiplier. The multiplier which is applied depends on how many Porridge Wild icons make up the winning combination. If only 1 is included then a 2x multiplier is attached, if you get 2 icons then it’s a 3x multiplier and 3 icons bring in a 4x multiplier.
The Free Spins feature in this game is triggered when you see 3 or more Goldilocks symbols land in on the reels. From the base game you will be awarded 10 free spins as a minimum but then it’s also possible to retrigger more free spins by another linked feature known as the Bears Turn Wild.
Activate Free Spins
When the free spins feature is activated the game then opens in a new set of reels. In this game the Goldilocks icon is featured pulling out her tongue. When these symbols fall into play, which they do with regularity, then they are collected in 3 tables at the bottom of the reels. The first game features Daddy Bear and when you have collected enough symbols he turns into a Wild.
Then the same thing happens with Mummy Bear and, finally, Baby Bear if you get enough Goldilocks icons dropping in on the reels. You don’t get more free spins awarded with Daddy, but you do get 2 extra free spins with both Mummy and Baby Bear if you fill those compartments. By the end of the game, if you are lucky, you then have 5 Wild symbols in play which make up some very frequent winning combinations. When it comes to single combination line wins then the Cottage Wild is the biggest payer of the game. If you get 5 of these falling in on an active payline then you can expect to pull in a Jackpot of 1,000 times your line bet.
Want Bigger Prizes?
This online video slot is a new release by Quickspin and, it has to be said, that when it comes to design and features, it has a whole lot going for it. You have the benefit of the 2 Wilds in the base game and can get up to 4 Wilds in the feature in addition to pulling down additional free spins and multipliers. Given the overall standard of the game then, there might not be much you would consider moving on for.
It does, though, only have a medium range variance so, for those high-rollers looking for less frequent but bigger real money wins, maybe something like Break Da Bank Again by Microgaming might fit the bill. Here you not only have a reasonable 95.43% RTP but you also have a variance which comes into the very high range. You also get above average 15 free spins from the base game and 5x multipliers into the bargain.
A Great Game
Goldilocks and the Wild Bears online video slot is a very nice edition to the Quickspin stable. Most online gamblers would not only be pleased with the layout and design but the pay-table and chances to win are not too bad either. The features, particular the sticky wilds in the bonus, are a nice twist and give you plenty of opportunities to keep increasing that coin credit collection of real money wins. Taken together with the generous Wild symbols in the base game then there isn’t too much to complain about. Overall, a nice online slot which will keep most online gamblers very happy.
