Wild Swarm

Hear that buzzing sound? It's the Wild Swarm, a new slot game from Push Gaming, which is quickly becoming our favorite developer.

The game has five reels, four rows and 20 pay lines. The minimum bet is .20 credits. The maximum is 100 credits per spin. Icons include jack, queen, king, and ace rendered in wood, plus two kinds of flowers, a honeypot, a golden dollar sign, and of course, a queen bee (spoiler: it's not Beyoncé).

The music is wonderfully cinematic, and stays consistent throughout the gameplay, instead of just playing during the spins. It makes for a wonderful experience.

The wild card symbol is a dripping honey tray, and it can substitute for any icon you need to make a win. The hive itself is the scatter. Get three or more hives and you'll trigger the free spins feature.  An adorable honeybee bursting out of a pool of honey is a sticky wild that only shows up during free spin rounds, landing anywhere and held in position until the feature is completed.

Just one locked chest needs to appear on the screen, and you'll be transported to a screen with five honeycombs on it for the Pick feature. Pick one of the honeycombs, and you'll either get a bunch of credits, or the free games feature is triggered.

Back to the regular gameplay. When you have a smiling bee come up on the reels, it will run into the hive. If you get the hive up to Level 5, the next time a bee lands you'll see the hive explode. This will grant you 10 free spins. Additional sticky wild cards will be introduced during this special Swarm Mode free spin feature, and stay there for all remaining free spins.
