Bulls and Bears Slots

Animals are common enough across many online slots. But while they do feature in the Bulls and Bears online slot game, this isn’t strictly themed around animals. If you know a little about the markets—i.e., the stock market—you might guess where the game is going to go. And while that sounds like a strange theme, you might just find this is better than you’d think.

Who created this strange theme?

The game and the theme come from the brains working at Real Time Gaming. RTG has a habit of developing popular slots, and while this one is unusual, it does garner a lot of popularity too.

Can you try it before you play for real money?

Yes, you can try the demo version first, and we think it’s a sensible idea to get familiar with the game mechanics.

Theme and symbols

You can guess we’re headed for the stock exchange in this game. The reason why bulls and bears appear is because they represent positive and negative market conditions, respectively. You’ve heard of bull markets and bear markets… that’s what this game has been inspired by. It’s a quirky idea! You’ll spot bulls and bears on the reels along with cigar-smoking tycoons, stock certificates, financiers, brokers, safes, charts, gold bars, red sports cars, cash, and yachts—all market-related symbols tying into the finance and riches theme.

Let’s begin playing Bulls and Bears slots

This is a five-reel video slot with bonus features and progressive jackpots. You get two progressive jackpots, one always larger than the other, shown above the set of reels. There are two wild symbols: the bull on the second reel and the bear on the fourth. Each provides a 2x multiplier, but a line with both delivers 4x. Both wilds substitute for all symbols, including the scattered stock chart.

Paylines and betting range

The game has 25 adjustable paylines—we suggest playing all of them for the best chances. Coin sizes range from $0.01 to $5.00 with 1 coin per line, offering a wide betting range up to a maximum of $125.00. Always check the paytable first, as this slot has unique features compared to standard games.

Don’t miss the Feature Guarantee

This innovative element guarantees access to the free spins bonus within a set number of spins. A counter shows remaining spins, and you can place a side bet to speed it up. Details are in the paytable—worth reviewing before play.

Free spins in Bulls and Bears

Land three scattered charts for 5 free games, four for 7, or five for 15. Then choose Buy (bull retriggers) or Sell (bear retriggers) options. Retriggers don't require wins, and all prizes get a 3x multiplier. With enough retriggers, free spins can reach up to 100.

RTP information for the slot game

The game doesn’t have a fixed RTP published by RTG, as casinos may set their own, typically around 95%.

Our rating for the Bulls and Bears slot

This might be one of the more unusual themes we’ve seen. We love the two wilds with multipliers, the free spin choices, Feature Guarantee, and everything else. Despite its age, it still rates a solid 9/10.

Progressive jackpots

These two progressives have random triggers, so they can drop unexpectedly during real money spins.

Demo, real play, and mobile

Try the demo for better understanding—it's often available without casino registration. If you like the theme, switch to real money at low stakes, but manage your budget. Bulls and Bears is also mobile-friendly on Android and iOS devices.
