Formosa Bear RTP and Volatility

7.1 

RTP of the game is 96% and the volatility is unknown.

Formosa black bears rarely attack people without provocation, but you should still be careful because this slot has high volatility! This means that winning combinations are not the most frequent phenomenon here, but when this happens, the player receives a large payout. As for the RTP, the provider does not disclose this info but we assume that the RTP might be around 96%.

Theme

8.7 

The game invites you to visit the natural habitat of the little formosa bear. But unfortunately you don't see the forest here because black color is used as the background. Almost the entire screen space is occupied by the playing field filled with the symbols of a bear against the background of a full moon, frogs, snakes, and other wild animals. The symbols have got a good design, but everything else in the slot looks as simple as possible.

Game Symbols

Here you need to make winning combinations from matching symbols on 40 paylines, sometimes using Wild symbols. All wins are generated from left to right, except wins that consist of special Bonus symbols.

The symbols are the only thing you will see throughout the session, and luckily they are done in a pleasant style. All symbols are important but pay special attention to the Bonus, as when they land simultaneously anywhere on reels 2, 3, and 4, you will receive an exciting free spins feature during which the bears (Wilds) remain in their places to give you the maximum win!

Mobile compatibility

Mobile compatibility

This slot looks and sounds as good on mobile phones as it does on PCs, thanks to the fact that the provider created it using HTML5. You can play this game on any modern device, be it mobile phone, tablet, or computer. Enjoy the opportunity to be anywhere while playing! Just remember that you will need a good internet connection and a flash player for this.

About JDB

Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

8.8 

Free Spins

When Bonus symbols land on reels 2, 3, and 4 at the same time, an amazing free spins game is triggered anywhere. You are rewarded with 10 free spins during which all bear symbols (Wild) land Stacked and stay in their places. Having filled the entire grid with such symbols, you will hear a funny melody and see a bunch of gold bars that fall out of the playing field - this means that you won the max win!

Formosa Bear Slot machine

Formosa Bear Demo Play

This is a highly volatile game, so the availability of its Demo version is more useful than ever. Not ready to place real stakes? Then use the demo mode of this slot machine on this page. Just hit "Play Demo" and the fun begins. In this mode, you can have fun making bets with virtual coins. But it is impossible to win real cash prizes in this mode.

Max Win

7.9 

The maximum win here is 1,000x the stake.

The maximum win is 1,000 times the stake, which is much lower than what today's high volatility slot machines offer. If you want to get it, you need to land 3 Bonus symbols at the same time and fill the entire playing field with Stacked Wild symbols. Good luck!

Overall Rating

8.1

Older releases from JDB have interesting themes but their design is not impressive. Formosa Bear has a boring black background and the only thing you see during the session is a playing field with wild animals and playing card suits. The mathematical model is fine here but it offers a low max win of 1,000x the stake. This game cannot be called bad as it offers interesting bonus features, but it is unlikely to be able to compete with those slots that are being released now.
