Great Bear by IGT is a wildlife-themed video slot built around a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 8 fixed paylines. The game uses animal symbols framed in gold, including bear, wolf, fox, rabbit, and bird imagery, set against a forest backdrop. A bear Wild symbol can substitute for other icons, while Bonus symbols are tied to the Great Bear Bonus feature.
The paytable covers 3, 4, and 5 matching symbols, with higher returns attached to stronger combinations. The game also includes the Symbol Climb mechanic, where winning symbols may upgrade to the next higher-paying symbol on a line win. In certain cases, the Great Bear Multiplier can apply, increasing wins after upgraded Wild symbols appear.
A separate bonus round is triggered when three Bonus symbols land on reels 2, 3, and 4, awarding free spins. During the Great Bear Bonus, Symbol Climb upgrades can continue until the round ends. The demo version is available to play for free, allowing users to study the mechanics and practice before playing for real money.
