Reels spin across a 5x4 grid, and a win needs at least three matching symbols on one of 20 fixed paylines read from left to right. The Animals and Food theme fills the grid with Picnic Basket, Blueberry Pie, Honey Jar and the card ranks A, K, Q, J and 10. WILD symbols stand in for other symbols to complete a line, so one spin can pay on several lines.
Two scatters can trigger a re-spin in the base game. Seven PAWs on the trail above the reels trigger Crazy Bears, which adds 10 free spins. Expanding Bears fills whole reels with WILDs, Multiplied Bears gives each WILD a random x2, x3 or x5 multiplier, and Mega Bears places a random 3x3 symbol on reels 3, 4 and 5 every spin.
Ten symbols, four prizes each

Bear Crazy free spins and upgrades
Removes the guesswork about which bonus round starts and what each one actually changes.
Three scatters on the grid open the round selection, then Expanding Bears begins with 10 free spins. Every WILD that lands stretches to fill its whole reel from top to bottom, so a single wild can cover four rows of the 5x4 grid.
Base gameFull-reel wilds
Pick Multiplied Bears at the start and each free spin runs with WILDs carrying a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5. When two or more of those WILDs sit in the same winning line, their multipliers multiply each other for the payout.
Round pickStacked multipliers
Mega Bears drops one random 3x3 symbol onto reels 3, 4 and 5 on every free spin, and a 3x3 PAW fills the trail by 5. Each CRAZY BEARS retrigger also adds +1 to a round multiplier that stays for the rest of the round.
Round pickGiant symbols
Inside any free spins round the PAW trail above the reels climbs with each PAW collected, and at 7 PAWs CRAZY BEARS begins: 10 extra free spins plus WILDs dropped into random positions. Up to 9 retriggers can add WILDs, and the trail then resets.

Bear Crazy on screen
Hellspin Casino shows the frames plainly, so the reels are familiar before a stake goes down.
A bonus buy costs 100 times the total bet, or 300 times in the Super versions, so at A$5 the price is A$500 or A$1,500.
| Bonus buy | Bet multiple | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Expanding Bears full-height wilds | x100 · A$500 | – |
| Multiplied Bears random multipliers | x100 · A$500 | – |
| Mega Bears 3x3 symbol | x100 · A$500 | – |
| Super Expanding Bears denser wilds | x300 · A$1,500 | – |
| Super Multiplied Bears denser wilds | x300 · A$1,500 | – |
| Super Mega Bears x5 opening | x300 · A$1,500 | – |
Each spin on the reels returns part of the stake over a long run. The money table uses A$100 staked as its base. The version Hellspin runs is shown in the game rules.

Your first spin
Hellspin Casino keeps the order of a round simple, so the reels do the talking.
A stake between A$0.05 and A$500 sets the price of every paid round, and the 20 fixed paylines stay the same at any figure. At A$0.40 the top win on offer reads A$19,500; at A$5 it reaches A$1,950,000.
Symbols land on a 5x4 grid and pay left to right on 20 fixed lines, with three of a kind the fewest that pays. The WILD stands in for anything else and can spread down a whole reel.
The ANTE BET toggle on the left panel lets you stake ten times more for extra scatters, though it switches the paid options off. Two scatters can already set off a re-spin, with no trail needed.
The PICNIC Sign lands as the scatter, and land enough of them to start Expanding Bears. Every WILD then stretches top to bottom, and seven PAWs on the trail above the reels add ten more spins.
Bear Crazy records the stake and a stopping point before the reels move, and the paid options stay reachable from the same screen. Leave when that point arrives rather than chasing a trail that keeps resetting.
Try Before Spinning
Use this block when you are deciding whether to learn the reels before money is involved.
Demo spins on Bear Crazy cost nothing and return nothing, so a session there is purely about learning how the reels move. Playing for real stakes needs a Hellspin Casino account and a player aged 18 or over.
Play for moneyLanding three PICNIC scatters is random every spin, and no preview states how often that happens. RTP describes payouts across millions of rounds, not the order they arrive in, so a session of a few hundred spins can end well below or above that figure. One person's night says nothing about the next night.
Pragmatic Play releases this slot at 96.52 per cent, yet the version a lobby runs appears only inside the in-game rules screen. Check that panel before staking anything, because the number printed there governs the payouts on the reels in front of you.
The top prize of 3,900 times your stake is a ceiling, not a target. A$19,500 on a A$5 stake needs a rare chain of expanded wilds, multiplied lines or a deep CRAZY BEARS run to fall into place. Most rounds finish far from it.
Slot At A Glance
Clears the confusion around buying the bonus, the top pay and what the figures leave unknown.
Three Expanding Bears, Multiplied Bears and Mega Bears buys cost 100 times your total bet, while the Super versions cost 300 times. At a A$5 bet that means A$500 for a standard pick and A$1,500 for a Super pick.
Prizes are capped at 3,900 times the stake, so the ceiling rises with the bet. Staking A$5 puts A$19,500 on the line, and the top allowed bet of A$500 opens A$1,950,000.
Stakes run from A$0.05 to A$500 on the 20 fixed lines. At A$0.40 and A$5 the same symbols pay more as the bet climbs, and no line carries a separate wager.
The slot runs at a single return figure of 96.52 per cent, which leaves the house 3.48 out of every A$100 staked over the long run. No other configuration is listed, so the paid and free-spin modes share that rate.
Access comes through your Hellspin account, where the reels load with real credit behind them. Trying the game before staking a cent is handled through your account options rather than a separate version of the page.
The game is classed as high volatility, so long quiet stretches and a rare large result belong to the design. A short session can end far from the average, which is why the figure is not a forecast.
Play only from age 18 and treat every spin as entertainment. For free, confidential support call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and use BetStop to register for self-exclusion.
Pick the amount you can lose without it mattering before the first spin, then keep the bet at A$0.05 upward inside that cap. Money set aside for other things never belongs in the balance.
Name a stopping point for the session and honour it after a win as well as after a loss. The chase back from a good result is what turns an evening into a problem.
Deposit and loss limits hold the line when a session runs hot, and they sit in your account settings. Set them low enough that a bad night cannot reach money you need.
Watching the reels for hours past the point of enjoyment is the signal to take a pause. Self-exclusion through BetStop blocks access across operators when a break is not enough.
