Bonus Bears on 3Win8 is the same pine-forest slot you may know from other apps: 25 lines, a scowling grizzly, a red-haired park ranger, a skunk with flowers and a lot of angry bees. What this version gives you that the 918Kiss Bonus Bears page does not is a clear shot of the rules, so this page concentrates on the two features.
Feature 1: free games from the bear
The bear is the substitute, and it also triggers the free games. The rule on the help page is specific: the free games start when a bear lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 at the same time.
That is harder than a typical three-scatter trigger, because each bear has to be on the right reel. When two bears show up on reels 2 and 3, the whole spin comes down to reel 4.
The screenshots do not show the free games themselves, so I cannot confirm how many you get or what multiplier applies in this build.
Feature 2: the Honey Feature
Three or more beehives anywhere on screen start the Honey Feature. In the Playtech original this is a pick round where the bear raids hives for prizes, and the 3Win8 version uses the same beehive art.
The beehive is also the scatter, with its own pays: 1 for two, 5 for three, 20 for four and 100 for five.
The rest of the paytable
- Park ranger: 5,000 / 1,000 / 100 / 5 for five, four, three and two.
- Skunk: 1,000 / 300 / 50 / 4.
- Bee and picnic basket (mixed count as "of a kind"): 500 / 100 / 25.
- A and K: 200 / 50 / 15. Q and J: 150 / 25 / 10. 9 and 10: 100 / 20 / 5.
The ranger is the symbol to watch. Two of her on a line already pays.
In the last screenshot, 5 lines at 0.04 (0.20 a spin) paid 0.60 on line 2: an Ace followed by two bears, counted as three Aces at 15 times the line bet.
Bet and pacing
The bottom bar has lines and bet with minus and plus on each, then the total. The bet is per line here, so 25 lines at 0.10 costs 2.50. Above the reels the Random Jackpot, Minor and Major meters move with play; the Minor and Major were 750 / 1,300 at one bet and 850 / 1,700 at another.
If the balance is small, drop the per-line bet rather than the line count. A bear that lands on a line you have switched off substitutes for nothing.

Questions players ask
What starts the free games in Bonus Bears?
The bear has to land on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the same spin. It is not a scatter count, so three bears on other reels will not do it.
How is the bet different from the 918Kiss version?
On 3Win8 the bet box is per line. 25 lines at 0.10 makes 2.50 a spin. The 918Kiss version's bet box sets the total stake instead.
