If you loved Yogi Bear of Jellystone National Park, you will find something of him in the Bearly Fishing online slot game released by Microgaming. This is not a branded slot game so there is no direct likeness or name. The online video slot is live at all Microgaming online casinos such as All Slots, Royal Vegas and 32Red.

The reels are set in the background of a flowing forest stream ideal for fishing. Apart from the bear, there is also a baby bear reminiscent of Boo Boo who always accompanied Yogi. The other thematic symbols on the reels are waterfall, fish, fishing rod and picnic basket, from which Yogi Bear was notorious for stealing food. Only the ranger is missing. The low paying symbols are the playing card icons. The bear is the wild symbol and as usual it can substitute for all other symbols, except the scatter symbol.

The basket is the scatter symbols and it also activates the Bearly Fishing bonus. This is a bonus game on the second screen leading to free spins. You have to choose a spot for baby bear to fish. Baby bear does not need a rod and line. He swipes his hand and picks fish from the river just like Yogi expertly did. The fishing spot reveals the number of free spins, which can be up to 15. The number of fish caught by baby bear is the payout multiplier, which can be up to 6x. The free spins can be retriggered. Bearly Fishing has the Microgaming gamble game. You can try to double or quadruple your payout after any winning spin, but you run the risk of losing it all.

Bearly Fishing has the 5 x 3 reels format with 25 paylines. The coin denomination varies from $0.01 to $0.10 and you can wager up to 20 coins per line. The maximum line bet works out to $2 and the maximum total bet to $50. Five bear symbols in an active payline award the largest line payout of 6,000 coins, which at maximum line bet yields $12,000. All the thematic symbols have attractive line payouts, while the playing card icons have very low payouts. Bearly Fishing is a high variance online slot and some risk taking and lot of patience is called for. The maximum scatter payout is 100 coins. At maximum total bet this gives a payout of $5,000. The maximum payout in a free spin will be $72,000.
