It’s been quite a journey for the team behind Dream Spin Studios. Why is that, you ask? Well, it’s because the founders are Fruity Slots, a team of online slot streamers, many of whom began their slot lives spinning fruit machines in local pubs and clubs across the UK. Now, they’re spending as much time behind slots as they are in front of them, and Buzz Thrill is the first to come from their new development company. As for its core stats, Buzz Thrill is a pays-both-ways 6-reel slot with an initial 576 ways to ways that could increase up to 46,656, a 95.58% RTP, and a 5,000x the stake maximum win.
It would be understandable for any new game provider to start slowly, but DreamSpin has certainly flown out of the blocks regarding features and mechanics for its first release. Reels will re-spin and expand, mystery symbols could reveal instant cash prizes of up to 500x the stake, and then there is a free spins bonus with expanding coin prizes, random symbols, and non-resetting reel expansions.
I’m sure most of you are interested in seeing what Dream Spin has come up with here, and personally, I cannot blame you. Why not take a look at the developer’s first slot release via the Buzz Thrill slot demo below?

Buzz Thrill slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols
Dream Spin Studios’ first slot has a space theme, and more specifically, it is about a space-travelling Bee who is enjoying the thrill of setting foot on and exploring a new planet. Well, that’s what my imagination is telling me anyway, and as I haven’t seen anything else regarding a backstory to Buzz Thrill, that’s what I’m sticking with for now. Those of you who enjoy playing online slots themed around Bees have plenty of other options available to you, and when you’re finished with our review today if you’d like to try more games in this niche, I’d suggest firing up the superb Honey Hunters demo slot from Print Studios, 3 Buzzing Wilds from Pragmatic Play, or if you want to go old school slotting, Wild Swarm from Push Gaming is an excellent choice.
Okay, back to Buzz Thrill, and it’s about time we checked in on the in-game characters and what payouts they have in store for us. At the top of the paytable and the most valuable symbol in the game, we have Bee Queen, who will return 10x the bet for a winning combo of six. Next, we have Slob returning 8x, followed by Bodybuilder at 6x, with Scientist and Larvae completing the premium section sharing rewards of 4x. Finally, we come to the low pays, where we have the Ace and King with equal returns of 3x, whilst the Queen, Jack and Ten all have payouts of 1.5x for a six of a kind win.
We end this section with the betting range available on Buzz Thrill. This is fairly standard, and players can start the reels spinning from as little as €0.20 up to a maximum of €20.
Buzz Thrill slot base game & modifiers
Buzz Thrill is a 6-reel slot with an initial 576 ways to win across a 2-3-4-4-3-2 configuration. Winning combinations are created when three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost or rightmost reels. That’s right; this is a pays-both-way slot, meaning combos can form from left to right or right to left.
Respins & reel expansions
While a regular spin starts with 576 ways to win, the Re-Spins and Reel Expansion feature allows you to increase those to a maximum of 46,656. At the end of a winning spin, all reels with symbols involved in winning combinations will expand by one position, and a re-spin takes place. New wins will repeat the process, and it’s possible to expand all reels up to 6 positions high. At the start of a new spin, the reels reset back to default.
Mystery doors & coin symbols
When Mystery Door symbols land anywhere on reels two, three, four, and five, they transform into wild or coin symbols. The latter hold instant prizes of 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, or 500x the stake, which you receive should they appear.
Dreambet
By activating the Dreambet option at the cost of an extra 50% on top of the original stake, players will increase their chances of triggering the free spins feature.
Buzz Thrill slot bonus features
While the re-spins, reel expansions, and coin prizes will keep the rewards coming during the base game, the biggest and best winning potential will come via the slot’s main bonus game.
Free spins feature
The game triggers when three or more bonus symbols land anywhere in view. You receive six free spins, and any reel expansions do not reset between spins. Furthermore, if Mystery Door symbols reveal Coin Prize symbols, the first and last reels are closed off while those coins expand to fill every position on their reels. Multiple coins have their values added together before those expansions take place.
Finally, a bee can randomly appear on any spin to choose a random symbol to become an expanding symbol. The first and last reels close again, and all instances of that symbol expand to fill all positions on their reels. Expanded symbols pay anywhere and are not required to land on consecutive reels.
Bonus buy
The Buzz Thrill slot also has a buy bonus feature that lets you purchase the free spins bonus for 100x the current bet.
Pros
- A fantastic mix of bonus features and modifiers
- For a first release the graphics and design are on point
Cons
- I hope we get to see bigger max wins in the future
Buzz Thrill slot review final thoughts
I can remember seeing the streams from the early days of Fruity Slots, so to now be reviewing one of their own game creations is quite surreal and shows how far they have come in such a short space of time, which they deserve a lot of credit for.
But how does Buzz Thrill shape up? I'd say it is a very solid first effort from Dream Spin. Yes, there are elements of AvatarUX's PopWins mechanic in the game and perhaps a twist of Push Gaming's mystery coin symbols, too, so whilst we might not be witnessing anything new in terms of mechanics and features, you still have to appreciate the hard work that has gone into putting the slot together and the excellent design behind it.
Overall, I think we can say Buzz Thrill will tick the box of many online slot fans, and it's going to be an interesting time ahead to see what Dream Spin come up with in the future, especially when they inevitably dabble in creating their own mechanics.
