Cabin Fever is a colourful 20-payline video slot which operates on the Microgaming software platform. The game’s wild card is the Wild Blizzard icon, which is also a multiplier wild, and the scatter is the Squirrel icon. To try the slot for free players can remain on this page to do so or they can select any of the featured Microgaming casinos to play the game for real money.
To join a family of cartoon bears, players need to adjust their wager first. “Select Lines” modifies the number of enabled paylines and “Select Coins” is used for choosing the number of coins wagered. The +/- buttons alter the coin value, which ranges from 0.01 to 0.50. To start the game one should press “Spin”. “Bet Max” turns the reels at the maximum bet, while “Auto Play” spins them multiple times uninterrupted and it is accessed through the “Expert” mode.
After any win there is an option to press “Gamble” to increase winnings. Should players guess the colour of the face-down card correctly, their amount will be doubled. However, if they guess wrong, the feature is terminated. To save their winnings and leave the gamble round, players can click “Collect” at any time.
When there are 2 Sun symbols scattered on reels 1 and 5, the Free Spin feature will be activated. Players are awarded 20 Free Spins during which all wins are doubled. In this round, another set of Free Spins can be triggered.
A jackpot of 300 coins will be won when 5 Father Bear symbols emerge on an activated payline.

Wanna know how life is being in a bear family? Well, welcome to Cabin Fever and meet the Bear family. There's Papa Bear, always having his favourite beer down at the Bears-Only pub, there's Mama Bear, always on to the phone chatting with her bearly mates, there's Baby Bear trying to be like Ringo Starr on the drums, and there's also another Baby Bear trying to be like Freddie Mercury doing the vocals, but making a din instead, whilst Nanny Bear is trying very hard to shut him out. Would make a good TV serial, don't you think so? Hmm, yeah, probably it's only Yogi Bear with a family now, no more of his good old bachelor days. Hehehe.
Papa don't preach. Oops, sorry Madonna, wrong story. The Wild is the Wild symbol, like you don't know, hehehe, pays 5000x the line bet for 5 of them, and doubles all wins too. The Squirrel is the Scatter symbol, can't have a bear family without any squirrel in the story, and pays 200x the total bet for 5 of them. Pretty good. 3 or more Squirrels don't award any Free Spins game, because they only take away nuts, so better keep an eye on them, don't let them grab your nuts. What? Your partner does that too? Oh gees, runs in the family! Hahaha.
The Sun with the glasses, ooh, perhaps too bright a day for the poor sun's eyes, awards 20 free spins with a 2x multiplier, if it lands on reel 1 and 5 at the same time. 3 or more Squirrels won't do. More Suns left and right, more 20 free spins you'll get. The retriggers I mean. From my games so far, the payouts have not been big, but fairly decent, ranging from 15x up to 81x my total bet, with none crossing over the 100x total bet, but I'm sure it's not impossible. The other symbols pay from 300x for Papa Bear, 250x for Mama Bear, right down to 60x the line bet for the cherries. Very low values.
Well, can't really blame the low graphics quality in this oldie game, but if you mind that aspect, then this Cabin Fever game can be quite fun to play, with decent payouts. Won't pay much, but probably won't eat so much either, not so suddenly at least. The thing I dislike most are the number of non-paying spins in the Free Spins games. I once had 2 retriggers in one Free Spins game, with a total of 60 free spins, but more than 60% of the spins were blank ones. It finally paid me 81x my bet, which can be considered quite low for a 60 free spins game. Maybe others would and could get better results.
