The Bees Slots features a very simplistic visual design, with no more than 3 or 4 shades of blue and green in the background. The lower half of the landscape is just dark green, representing an endless field and the upper half is filled with blue to depict the midday sky and there are three clouds floating in the sky. The theme of this game can be guessed just by the title and even though the background shows you nothing to indicate the connection with bees, except for the yellow and black striped body of one, sneaking just underneath the game’s title sign, the Balance, Credits, Bet, Win meters are all decorated in a honey like color as are the Select Lines, Bet Per Line, Bet Max and Spin options. The game features 5 reels, 3 rows and 9 paylines. Coin sizes start from2 cents and go as high as 1 dollar. The maximum number of bet credits is 5. That being said, the game offers a lot of solid gambling thrills, from the solid payouts of its symbols, to its interactive bonus features.
Bee Symbols
The Bees Paytable consists of 8 symbols, all of which deliver payout. The highest paying symbol of the game is the scatter Honey Pot and is the only symbol that features 4 winning combinations from m2 to 5 matching symbols. It pays 250 coins, 500 coins, 1250 coins and 2500 coins. The rest of the symbols feature 3 winning combinations from 3 to 5 matching symbols, starting with the Logo The Bees symbol, which delivers 375 coins, 750 coins and 15000 coins. The male, blue-eyed Bee offers 50, 100 and 150 coins. The female, lipstick-wearing Bee grants 150 coins, 395 coins and 500 coins. The Bee Hive, igloo-like house provides gamblers with 75, 125 and 250 coins. The flower with the pink petals and the yellow center delivers 50, 75 and 150 coins. The flower with the orange petals grants 20, 35 and 60 coins. The flower with the red petals gives 10, 20 and 40 coins. The interesting and comfortable option that this paytable has is that you can check out the values of the symbols, according to the bet credits and in this game’s case for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bet credits. The values mentioned above count for 5 bet credits.
Bee Features
The wild symbol doesn’t offer payouts. Its icon depicts a nice landscape of a field with a tree where two bees are buzzing in the air, probably discussing which is their favourite gambling game. The wild is capable of replacing the rest of the symbols in the game in order to complete potential winning combinations. The only irreplaceable symbols are the scatter symbol and the bonus symbol. When five wild symbols in a row appear on the reels, the so-called “reel launcher” will be activated and the wilds will rearrange their positions in order to form a random winning combination. The Bonus feature of the game can be started if the male bee symbols shows up on the second reel, the logo Bees symbols shows up on the third reel and the female bee shows up on the fourth reel, aligned next to each other on the same row. The Bonus feature is highly entertaining because the player will be allowed to take control of a bee in the process of flying for 15 seconds and using the direction keyboard buttons, he or she will need to collect prizes during the bonus round. The final available feature of the game is the Swap Feature. This option can be applied by gamblers after a normal spin and it allows a player to swap 2 icons with 2 others in order to increase the chances for a winning combination. The special Swap Icons which allow for the feature to be carried out are gathered during the bonus round (up to 3 of them can be held at any time).
The Bees is a perfect example of a slot game where looks don’t really matter. The payouts of its symbols are great and its two bonus features are highly entertaining and useful and they are more than enough for you to earn big and then come back for more without being bothered by the game’s lackluster background.
