Game Overview

Did you know that some species of bee can fly up to 30MPH and that they also pollinate roughly 35% of the world’s food crops? See, we teach you something new every day here at Demoslot, so take note of that information for your next pub quiz; it might just pop up. Another bee fact we have for you is that provider Pragmatic Play has created a 7-reel video slot themed around our furry friends titled Sticky Bees. As for those all-important stats, this a cluster pays game with an RTP of 96.06% and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

There’s a ‘hive’ of activity regarding the feature set in this game that’s, thankfully, far better than that pun. We start with the tumbling reels mechanic that removes all winning symbols and replaces them with new ones for extra chances to win. Next up, we have the super wilds and marked positions, which, when combined, can add multiple wild symbols to the reels. Hitting four or more scatters will trigger the main free spins feature, where up to three super wilds are guaranteed to land on every spin. Topping off the features, we have a bonus buy option, where staking 100x your current bet will grant instant access to the free spins.

Are you buzzing to give this one a try? Yeah, ok, no more bee puns, I promise. Try all the action out for yourself in the free demo slot of Sticky Bees; it’s available to play below.

Sticky Bees Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

I have to admit I was slightly taken aback when I researched and discovered there are more than 20,000 known species of bees around the world. It really is quite incredible that something so small that we take very little notice of is a huge part of our ecosystem, and without them, planet Earth would be a very different place. But do these little guys get as much credit as they deserve? Certainly not in the slot world, and the only real blockbuster that springs to mind featuring bees is Push Gaming’s outstanding Wild Swarm, which is well worth checking out if you haven’t played it before. Okay, it’s time to see if Pragmatic Play has worked its magic and made this game the bee’s knees. Really, that will be the last pun, I promise.

What better place to start than at the paytable, where we find the highest paying symbol is the strawberry, worth 125x bet for clusters of 20 or more. Next is the plum at 87.5x if 20 symbols or more are part of a win, followed by the melon at 62.5x. Then we have the peach at 40x, the grapes at 30x, and finally, the cherries at 22.5x bet for clusters of 20 or more. The low pays are represented by four royals, which are the Ace and King, both valued at 17.5x for 20 or more symbols, and last up is the Queen and Jack, both paying 12.5x for clusters of 20 or more.

Slots developed by Pragmatic always tend to offer a comprehensive selection of bet sizes for players to choose from. This is again the case with Sticky Bees, where the minimum price to play is just €0.20, with the maximum stake on the game reaching €100.

Base Game & Modifiers

The sticky Bees slot has an impressive playing grid size of 7×7, totalling 49 symbols within the playfield. You’ll need to match just five symbols anywhere adjacent to each other for a win to be created and the corresponding cash value to be added to your balance.

Tumbling Reels

Any wins comprising five symbols or more will cause the tumbling reels mechanic to activate. This will remove all winning symbols from the reels before new ones fall from above to replace the spaces left behind. There are no limits on how many of these cascades can be achieved, with the series of tumbles only ending when you fail to create a new winning combo within the reel set.

Marked Positions & Super Wilds

At the beginning of each spin, between 12 – 19 positions within the grid will be marked. If a Super Wild Bee symbol lands on any of these positions due to the initial spin or reel tumble, it will be transformed into a wild. This position will then remain active for the duration of all tumbles on the current spin. Furthermore, whenever a Super Wild hits a marked position, it can send an extra 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Super Wilds to other marked positions.

Sticky Bees Slot Bonus Features

Sticky Bees Slot Free Spins Feature

Landing four bonus scatter symbols in view will trigger the main bonus round and award you with 7 free spins, with each additional scatter that hits after the fourth adding 1 extra spin to your starting total.

Free Spins

As each spin begins, between 16 – 19 positions will be marked. During the free spins, either 1, 2, or 3 Super Wild symbols are guaranteed to hit a randomly marked position, with all activated positions remaining active for the duration of the bonus. Furthermore, one extra spin will be awarded when three or more scatter symbols ls land in view.

Bonus Buy

Those playing from a location where the bonus buy button is active can trigger the free spins feature at any time for the cost of 100x the current stake.

Pros

  • Great max win of 10,000x bet.
  • Interesting wild mechanic in both the base game and the free spins feature.

Cons

  • No ante bet option.
  • It can seem a little scripted when you think you'll win will all the wilds on show but somehow don't.

Final Thoughts

A cluster pays slot with a theme that hasn't been overused in the industry is a rare find indeed, but that's precisely what Sticky Bees from Pragmatic Play has to offer us. Whether or not you find the Super Wild mechanic interesting will ultimately determine whether you find this game to be as sweet as nectar or as painful as being stung where the sun doesn't shine.
