Bee Frenzy - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Bee Frenzy Review - Introduction

Budding beekeepers and nature enthusiasts will adore this animal themed slot. It’s full of charmingly rustic symbols, the top paying of which are a beekeeper, beehive, pot and a jar of honey. Bee symbols (some of them bearing multipliers) put in an appearance as well and so do a honeycomb, a set of letters and the number 10.

Lucky beekeepers can win free spins - there are up to 20 on offer! The Bee Frenzy features sends the worker drones into overdrive, filling the reels with multipliers, and there’s even a special bonus wheel called Thundershot. It offers a variety of prizes and makes landing a bonus symbol on Bee Frenzy a thrilling business.

Playtech offers just 10 paylines, and these can’t be adjusted. Given the variety of the bonuses, though, that isn’t a huge problem. Players can customise their experience with auto and turbo spin.

Theme, Graphics & Design

With so many slots opting for high-tech and futuristic visuals, Bee Frenzy is a breath of fresh air in more ways than one. Its gorgeous pastoral setting shows rolling countryside, some gnarled oak trees and, of course, lots of beehives! The all-natural colour scheme of green and blue is exceptionally easy on the eye and relaxing.

The reels resemble (as you can probably guess) a beehive, but Bee Frenzy isn’t all about realism. Each of the bee symbols is hilariously personified. There’s a furious-looking bee making off with some pollen, a nervous-looking one and even an ancient worker with a full beard and moustache! These insects are the stars of the game, so it’s only right that so much effort has gone into their design.

Since the background is so calming, it’s up to the music to build some drama. The soundtrack is uproarious, fast-paced and full of bombast. It sets the scene for more frenetic features like Bee Frenzy and Thundershot and serves as a reminder that, while the slot certainly looks relaxing, it only takes a single spin to fire things up.

Bee Frenzy RTP and Variance

How to Play Bee Frenzy

Bee Frenzy’s peaceful natural setting makes for some calming gameplay, and our guide will help you enjoy the slot without any moments of confusion.

1. Playtech has usefully collected all the information on bonuses, the paytable and the rules in one place. Press “help” to see it all.
2. Stake size is easy to alter as well. Tapping - and + on the bottom control panel increases/decreases your bet.
3. Enable turbo mode if you like your spins a little faster.
4. Autoplay (up to a maximum of 100 spins) is available too, but unfortunately it lacks both loss and win limits.
5. Decide how much you’re willing to budget for the session.
6. Tap spin to bring the bees to life!

Bee Frenzy Bonus Features

Beekeeping can be a rewarding pastime, especially on Bee Frenzy! Let’s take a look at the bonus features that await lucky players.

Free Games

Bee Frenzy awards up to 20 free games, which is one of the best totals on any slot. Earning that many rounds won’t be easy because you’ll need five free spin symbols. A more modest three symbols award you 10 games and you’ll get 15 rounds for four symbols. Additional beekeepers are added to the reels, too.

Bee Frenzy

Not only does this feature look great, but it can award big wins! The presence of a beekeeper during free spins will send the bees into a mad frenzy and all visible bee symbols will pay out according to their multiplier.

Thundershots

Only the fortunate few will get a shot at this feature. You’ll need a beekeeper and Thundershot symbol displayed at the same time during free spins. When that happens the free spins pay out as usual, but at the end of the round the Thundershot bonus wheel will appear. It awards a mix of cash prizes and additional free spins.

Our Verdict

Quirky slots like Bee Frenzy are a rare find. It's humorous without overplaying its comic hand, relaxing without ever being dull and accessible while still delivering big in the area of bonus features.

We struggled to pick a favourite feature with so much on offer. Free spins are a firm favourite on any slot, but we think Bee Frenzy stands out the most. We loved watching the reels descend into chaos as the bees swarmed. With so many multipliers suddenly in play, it’s impossible not to get swept along amongst the carnage.

Setting and music combine to create a beautiful ambience, but it’s the varied gameplay that will leave a lasting impression. 

You can also find the sticky sweet Honey Rush slot at Slots Temple, another wonderfully fun bee-themed game.
