Spirit Bear (Live22): stakes from 0.15 and the blue bear wild

Spirit Bear puts its five reels in front of towering mountains, with lush ferns along the bottom and Native American-style wood carvings framing the whole game. It is one of the calmer-looking titles on Live22.

Setting up Spirit Bear

Below the reels sit the controls and the paytable. The lowest stake is 0.15 a spin, which is one coin on each of the 15 paylines. At the other end you can raise it to 300.00.

Two extras help with pacing. You can set the reels to spin faster, and the auto function spins for you as many times as you choose. If you use autoplay, set a limit you are happy with before you start rather than stopping it on impulse.

The blue bear

The bear is the main prize symbol. He looks fierce, though that may just be because he is bright blue.

Land the bear on a line across 3, 4 or 5 reels and you win 2 times, 20 times or 200 times your total bet. The jump from four to five is where the real value sits.

The bear also works as a substitute. He replaces the high card symbols and the animal symbols to complete a winning combination, so he helps even when he is not lining up with other bears.

A sensible way to play Spirit Bear

The range from 0.15 to 300.00 is wide, and the bear pays in multiples of your total bet, so a larger stake changes the size of wins rather than how often they come. Pick a level that lets you play through quiet spells. You can play Spirit Bear on Live22, and the Live22 install guide covers setting up the app.
