Theme

This slot has a bee theme, which is why it is called “The Hive”, why it is shaped like a hive and why the features all involve bees and honey. However, there is a twist in play because this it is also set at night when fireflies fill the reels, along with their magic potions.

Special Symbols

Wild – The “Honey Pot” symbol is the Wild, which will substitute for all symbols.

Bonus Features

All the Bonus features are triggered through the introduction of Fireflies hovering around the hive. Fireflies appear at random and the disappear at random too. Below you will see what each Firefly brings to the game:

The Green Firefly – The Green Firefly increases the number of other fireflies that hover around the hive. Whilst it doesn’t contribute anything directly, the presence of the Green Firefly should increase the chances of you triggering the other features.

Yellow Firefly – The Yellow Fireflies awards a stacked multiplier that also increases the number of Yellow Fireflies that hover around the hive. Each firefly increases the multiplier by 1.

Red Fireflies – The Red Fireflies are the ones carrying the pots of Nectar. When they appear they pour the contents of their pots into the Nectar Meter. You need to fill the Nectar Meter to trigger the Free Spins feature.

Free Spins – If you fill the Nectar Meter you will trigger the Free Spins feature. You will be given 5 Free Spins in total. During the Free Spins 1, 2 or 3 Honey Burst Spreading Wilds will appear on the grid. Wilds will spread from their starting position to adjacent symbol spaces on the grid following each spin. This will happen on each of the 5 Free Spins.
