Children’s tales are increasingly becoming themes for online slots developers. There are slot machines based on Pinocchio, Rapunzel and Three Little Pigs. Now the latest online slot to go live at InterCasino is Goldilocks and the Wild Bears. The reason for the slight change in name is that the symbols for the three bears can become wilds.

To start with, Goldilocks and the Wild Bears slot machine has two wild symbols. The regular wild symbol is the bears’ house. This symbol also awards the largest line payout of 1000 coins. The porridge is the multiplier wild symbol. Apart from substituting for other symbols to make winning combinations, the porridge symbol also multiplies payouts. One porridge symbol doubles payouts, two porridge symbols triple payouts and three porridge symbols multiply payouts four times. These symbols can appear anywhere on the reels and not necessarily in active paylines.

A cheeky looking Goldilocks holding papa bear’s porridge spoon is the scatter symbol. It can appear only on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it appears on all three reels at the same time it awards a payout of three times the total bet and also triggers 10 free spins. The free spins incorporate the Bears Turn Wild feature. An even cheekier Goldilocks sticking out her tongue is instrumental in this feature. This symbol is referred to as the Goldilocks Progressive Scatter symbol. You have to collect the symbols to make the bears turn wild and keep them wild for the remainder of the spins. If you collect three symbols then papa bear will turn wild. If you collect four symbols then mama bear will turn wild and award two additional free spins. If you collect five symbols then baby bear will turn wild and award two additional free spins. Three or more Goldilocks Progressive Scatter symbols award a payout of three times the total bet.

The medium payout symbols are four bears. You have papa bear, mama bear and a dazzled baby bear from the children’s tale. A teddy bear has been added for extra measure. The playing card symbols from 10 to A make up the low payout symbols. The reels are set in the bear’s home at the edge of the jungle. Goldilocks and the Wild Bears is a Quickspin product. It has a Fast Play option that makes the reels stop quickly. The game can be set on Auto Play up to 500 times. InterCasino is licensed and regulated by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta.
