The Bees Review

The Bees is a Bitcoin slot from BetSoft, however it’s not the usual feast of 3D graphics and great bonuses you’d expect from this huge company. Instead, it’s a rather sedate 2D slot, without the huge number of different bonus features. It is clear from the outset that this isn’t one of their newer Bitcoin slots, however it still has a certain charm to it, and will be enjoyed by those looking for a more relaxing slot to play.

It isn’t tough to decipher what the theme of this slot is, and it follows the fortunes of a couple of bees, as they flit from flower to flower and make pots of sticky honey. The music playing in the background sounds great at first but does start to grate after a while – however the music won’t be a problem if you manage to win the jackpot, which is worth 1,500x your bet per payline.

Gameplay

This is a seriously easy to slot to play, making it perfect for those just starting to learn the ropes. It has nine paylines across five reels, and you can choose how many of these paylines to play, as well as how much to bet per payline. There are no other features to mention, which is why this slot is so easy to play.

Bonuses

There are a few bonuses to mention at this slot, one being the wild symbol which can be seen as both bees flying around a tree. This isn’t an ordinary wild symbol though, as getting five in a row will lead to the Reel Launcher feature, which will cause the combination to reveal a random instant win. The bonus feature is activated by getting the worker bee, the logo and the queen bee (in that exact order) on a payline on reels two, three and four. This bonus will see you guiding a bee through the countryside, collecting extra time, prizes, and swap icons as you go.

These swap icons are an interesting feature. You collect them during the bonus game, and they can then be used whenever you spin in a win on the base game. They allow you to swap two symbols around, therefore leading to some more winning combinations.

Conclusion

The Bees might not have the same look and feel as most BetSoft games, but it is still original and offers loads of fun. It should be enjoyed by most players, so you should have a few spins whenever you get the chance!
