About Wild Buzz
Wild Buzz is played on 6 reels with 40 paylines. It’s available to play on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices from 20p up to £20 per spin. Wild Buzz RTP is slightly above average at 96.20%, and volatility is high, so wins are less frequent but are extremely lucrative when they happen.The slot is extremely colourful with crisp, clear graphics. Set deep within a forest, the background is tastefully done with sun rays streaming through the tall trees and shrubbery. The transparent reels sit in the middle of the screen and are encased in a wooden structure. On the reels are the low-value royal card suits alongside three flowers, a honey pot, and the queen bee. The latter pays up to 10x for 6 in a combination.
Gameplay and Features
The main aim of the game is to collect bees in the meter located on the right of the reels. Every Wild bee symbol landing is added to the meter. Once full, (12 bees) the Hive Spin feature triggers.Once triggered, two reels are highlighted and full of the same symbol, and up to 10 bees are added to the reels. The number of bees in the meter decreases by the number of bees placed on the reels. If the wild bees land on a highlighted reel, they duplicate on the adjacent reel, each time bees are added to the reels the multiplier increases, the multiplier ladder is visible on the left of the screen. 4 bees equate to 2x, the final multiplier is applied to the win on that spin.3 or more scatters award up to 15 free games. These are Hive spins, again two reels are highlighted, and wild bees are added to the reels on each spin. However, this time the bees are not collected in the meter, the hive remains full for the entire feature. The beehive collection returns after the free spins end and resets to the level it was before the free spins were triggered.If you fancy your chances of trying to bag a bigger win, you can choose to gamble. During the base game and the free spins feature, players have the choice of gambling their win. Players choose either double or lose or quadruple or lose picking a facedown card.
