My Review of Bulls & Bears RealTime Gaming slot by gjr1961

Bulls & Bears is a 5 reel, 25 line Wall Street themed slot game found at
the download version of most RealTime Gaming (RTG) online casinos.
Keeping with the theme, the symbols used are Bull (wild), Bear (wild),
Stock Chart (scatter), stacks of cash, bars of gold, safe, sportscar,
yacht, ticker tape machine, stock certificates, stock trader, and banker.
The base bet per spin can be as low as .01 or up to as high as $125.

Bulls & Bears is one of the RTG slot game that includes the Feature
Guarantee. This means that if, after 100 spins, the Free Spin Feature
hasn't come up on the reels, it will automatically be triggered at that
time. An additional side bet (FG bet) is made with each spin. The amount
is proportionate to the wager chosen per spin, approximately 40% (for
example .50 will be added if $1.25 per spin is in play). While playing, if
the amount per spin is changed, the number of spins needed to reach the
Feature Guarantee is reset to 100.

The Bull and the Bear symbol are both wild and substitute for all symbols,
including the scatter. The Bull will only appear on reel 2 and the bear on
reel 4. Any winning combination with 1 wild is doubled and if both appear
on the payline, the amount will be multiplied by 4. The scatter is the
stock chart. The Free Spin Bonus Feature is triggered by getting 3, 4, or
5 scatters in adjacent reels and must begin at the far left reel. 5, 7, or 15
Free / Bonus Spins are awarded respectfully. At that time, the player chooses
either the Bull or the Bear; during the Free / Bonus Spins, each time the chosen
symbol appears, an additional free spin will be awarded, up to 100 free
games. All wins awarded during the Bonus Feature are tripled.

The top jackpot available is when a player hits 5 banker symbols with
both the Bull and Bear symbols appearing on the payline. This will pay
out 10,000 coins; 30,000 coins if hit during the Bonus Feature. There are
also Major and Minor Random Jackpots that can be a surprise win at any
time.

I would recommend this game to others to try. It is a unique theme with
attractive symbols and good graphics. The possibility of winning up to
100 Free / Bonus Spins is definitely appealing. I was disappointed to see that the
wild symbols only appear on reels 2 and 4. I also think that the added
bet amount for the feature guarantee is a bit high. I would like it more if
the Feature Guarantee was optional rather than mandatory. On the other
hand, it is a positive aspect to play with the knowledge that the Bonus
Feature is certain to be triggered.

The screen shot is a winning amount that I received from The Free Spin
Bonus Feature. I played the necessary 100 spins to trigger the
Guarantee. It coincidentally occurred at the time where I had less than
$2 in my account. I was disappointed that I was initially awarded only 5
Free / Bonus Spins but I hit 5 of a kind during the spins and won over $300.
