THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols in the game come in the form of different shaped and coloured bee coins with green curved, grey curved, silver octagon and brown diamond variants. If the right amount of symbols land on the reels in one spin then these symbols can offer between x0.2 and x6 the player’s stake.
High value symbols are also represented by bee coins with bronze square, yellow circle and gold shield coins. These symbols can offer between x0.4 and x8 the player’s stake, depending on the amount of symbols that land on the reels at once.
Regular, adder and multiplier beehives can also drop onto the reels, collecting the values of any money bee symbols that land on the reels at the same time.
Money bees land on the reels with a cash value that is either x1, x2, x5 or x10 the player’s stake. If they land on the reels at the same time as a beehive then the beehive will collect its cash value and provide it to the player.
Finally, honey pot symbols can drop onto the reels. Landing three, four or five of these symbols in a single spin will award 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively.
THE DETAILS
Bee Hive Bonanza uses scatter pays to provide payouts, meaning symbols can land anywhere on the reels to give out a win, as long as there is a minimum of six identical symbols.
It is also a cascading slot title, meaning winning symbols will disappear after supplying the payout to make way for new symbols, increasing the win potential of an already successful spin.
Bee hive symbols with adder or multiplier features will either increase the value of money bees by the price of the bet value or multiply the money bee cash value by two.
If multiplier and adder bee hives appear on the reels at the same time then the multiplier will be implemented before the addition.
With the free spins feature, additional scatters that land on the reels will be collected before disappearing in a cascade.
Collecting more than three scatters during the free spins will award two more free spins with a select multiplier to be attributed to the final free spins payout.
Three scatters will provide a multiplier of x2, six gives x3, nine provides x4 and landing 12 scatters gives out a x5 multiplier.
Players also have the opportunity to buy the free spins bonus for the price of a significantly increased bet.
WHAT THEY SAY
