Buzzing Swarm bonus features

Buzzing Swarm includes several appealing bonus features, in addition to the free spins feature. Let's examine them more closely.

Bee Collection Trigger

In the base game, a bee symbol may appear and fly into the Hive above the reels. It is collected and added to a tally on the right side, leaving a Wild Honey symbol on the reels. When the tally reaches level 5, and another bee lands, the Hive will explode, triggering Swarm Mode.

Buzzing Swarm free spins

Buzzing Swarm offers 2 distinct free spins features. We'll begin with the Swarm Mode Free Spins feature.

Swarm Mode Free Spins

Swarm Mode Free Spins can be activated in the Click and Pick Bonus game, or when the Hive explodes after collecting 6 bees. Initially, many sticky wilds are added to the reels, followed by 10 free spins. The sticky wilds remain in place for the duration, and at the end, a new Hive appears, starting on level 2, 3, or 4.

Free spins feature

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Beehive scatters on a single spin will trigger the regular free spins feature, awarding 7, 10, or 14 free spins respectively. This feature can also be obtained from the Pick and Click Bonus Game. Sticky wilds can also appear during this feature.

Buzzing Swarm jackpot (max win)

Buzzing Swarm slot does not offer a progressive jackpot, but it does have good win potential. The max win is 600 times your stake, which equals £60,000 when playing with the highest stake. A nice potential for a game with medium to high volatility.

Buzzing Swarm mobile & tablet

Buzzing Swarm can be played on mobile and tablet devices, and it looks great on any platform. Take it with you and enjoy the honey bee sticky wilds and other fun features. Buzzing Swarm slot is compatible with devices using common operating systems.

Verdict

Buzzing Swarm is a delightful game, and the bee theme is well-executed. While the potential could be greater, this is primarily a game for enjoyment, not for chasing huge wins. Nevertheless, 600x your stake is respectable, and the two free spins features are worth exploring.
