The objective of the game is to increase the amount of credits in your balance by producing the winning combinations. Combinations are formed with 3 to 5 identical symbols.

Symbols and rewards
The highest-paying symbol featured in the slot is the Wild symbol depicted as the game's logo. A combination of these symbols earns you the multipliers of 50, 150 and 500 for three, four and five logos respectively. The symbols can also substitute for any regular pictures missing in a combo. The function of the Joker applies to all pictures except for the symbol that says "Bonus".
The rest of the symbols do not perform any extra functions. The only function that these symbols carry out is to produce combinations and earn you the rewards. The cost of various combinations is displayed in the paytable. Click on the Paytable button to open it. The rewards will be indicated in credits right away. The figures will change as you change the size of your bet per line.
When playing at the maximum value of your Bet/Line, you will earn the following rewards:
- 10, 30 and 100 credits for three, four and five consecutive pictures of either "10" and "J" respectively
- 10, 40 and 120 — for a "Q" or "K"
- 16, 50 and 150 — for an "A"
- 20, 60 and 200 — for a koala
- 30, 80 and 250 — for a panda
- 30, 90 and 300 — for a black bear
- 40, 100 and 350 — for a brown bear
- 50, 120 and 400 — for a polar bear
What makes this game special is that most of the symbols can land in entire blocks — three or more pictures in a column. For example, one or several reels may all be covered with identical symbols. This is the advantage that will increase your chances to land a winning combo during the spins.
Bear Tracks features yet another special symbol, which is a picture that says "Bonus". The symbol holds no value of its own, yet it can trigger some free spins provided that certain conditions have been complied with.
Free spins
Free spins are triggered as soon as three Bonus symbols land on the first reel. They will be followed by a series of re-spins, which will land new Bonus symbols that will stay fixed on the reels. Free spins are granted if the entire game screen gets covered by the Bonus symbols during re-spins.
You will initially earn a series of 15 free spins. Special rules are applied during each spin:
- Several identical pictures of a bear must land on the first reel
- If some Wild symbols pop up on the game screen as well as identical pictures of bears in any field on the reels, the symbols stay fixed where they are and a re-spin is launched
- Re-spins will continue until you land new pictures of bears or the Wild symbols
- Once the re-spins are over, all winning combos are counted in and the amount of your winnings for the combos is added to your account, after which a new free spin is launched
You can relaunch a series of free spins after the last free spin if you land the Bonus symbols on the first reel, which will fill the entire game screen during re-spins. Maximum number of free spins launched in a row can reach 150.
Double-up game
If you land at least one winning combo during regular spins, the Gamble button becomes active. By clicking on it you will open an additional screen with the risk game. This is where you have to guess the colour of the suit of the face-down card.
Buttons with colours will be on both sides of the card. The same buttons can be found on the control panel. Your bet in the double-up game is the amount that you have won during the most recent spin. If your answer is correct, this amount will be double. If you are wrong, it will be nullified. If you would like to decline the doubling game, you can click on the Collect button that will appear instead of the Start button.
Conclusion
Bear Tracks by Greentube does not earn you any big awards during a regular game. Your chances of landing the highest-paying combination of Wilds are not that high. But you can increase even the smallest winnings during the risk game. The Bear Trap option is what makes free spins especially lucrative. When this option is active, identical pictures of bears will stay fixed within their fields and re-spins will be launched.
