Honey Hive XL Slots
Honey Hive XL slots is one of the best insect-themed slots we've played. The hit frequency stunned us, even if you only win smaller payouts, you'll win something on almost every spin. What proved more challenging was the bonus round. Scatters were not plentiful.
The Paytable
You have to have three matching symbols on a payline before you win anything. Symbols and their payouts are as follows.
- 7s - 4x
- Watermelon - 1.5x
- Triple Bars - 0.5x
- Double Bars - 0.3x
- Single Bars - 0.1x
The Bee Wild helps form winning paylines by replicating other symbols. In the free spins, Bee Wild becomes an expanding wild.
We love giving all slot games we review a 10-spin test to see how well we do. Our hit frequency was 100%, which was astounding. Here's what we experienced on a $5 fixed bet.
- 1st spin - $2
- 2nd spin - $9
- 3rd spin - $10.50
- 4th spin - $8
- 5th spin - $3
- 6th spin - $4.50
- 7th spin - 50 cents
- 8th spin - $2
- 9th spin - $8
- 10th spin - 50 cents
Did we win back the entire $50 we risked? Not quite, but it was awfully close.
The Bonus Features
Three scatters award 15 free spins. In those free spins, the Bee Wild expands to fill full reels. That adds to the amount of cash you'll win.
You also get a trip to the bonus round with two scatters. A Honey Hive XL prize wheel appears and offers 15 free spins as one of the prizes, but there are also several cash prizes. You'll win one of them.
Betting Options
Bets in Honey Hive XL start at 10 cents and go to $60. The game's 3 reels are shaped to look like a honeycomb. The first and third reels have three spaces, and the second (middle) reel has four spaces. This creates 36 paylines. Bets are fixed on those 36 paylines.
The piano music that plays throughout your experience is catchy and has you tapping your toes. Feel free to turn the music on and off as desired. Using the menu options on the left. The three bars are also the means to access the betting options. Or, hover the cursor over "Bet" and click it. It's a shortcut to the betting options.
Finally, the slot game RTP is 95.07%. It's not the best we've come across, but it's better than many other online slots. We recommend Honey Hive XL as even if the RTP is low, it's hard to ignore a game that has so many possibilities for winning combinations.
