Bugs Money

The Bugs Money slot is the new nature-themed slot on the block by Reflex Gaming and it was developed specifically for the Yggdrasil platform. This verdant and flowery casino game features beautiful visuals and a relaxing soundtrack. The symbols are all centered around flowers, honey, bees, and bugs. The background is an immersive forest sanctuary where the Queen Bee multipliers reside.

Speaking of which, the extra features in this game revolve around random wilds and multipliers. The game is played on 5 reels and has an RTP value of 95.5%. Volatility is very high in this game and so is the maximum win which is $55.028 for a $1 stake. This high win ratio is mostly due to the free spins mode where wins can get explosive. Let us cover the game in detail and see what hides behind this nature-themed exterior.

Lovers of nature and forest hikes will definitely enjoy the aesthetics of the Bugs Money slot. This Reflex Gaming and Yggdrasil release combines a beautiful visual theme with a standard 5×3 slot experience. In addition to the 5 reels come 10 active paylines to score on which are fairly easy to track.

To score a win, the player simply has to arrange at least 3 identical regular symbols in one of those fixed paylines. Wins are scored from left to right starting from the leftmost reel. Wins on multiple paylines are added together.

The 8 regular symbols will be your best friends for stable payouts. The 4 low-win ones look like card symbols while the 4 high-win ones look like bugs and flowers. There is also the firefly bottle which is the game’s wild symbol. It has its own separate payout and has the standard ability to substitute for regular symbols to score a win.

As in any good slot game, in Bugs Money you have plenty of betting options and an extra bet method. Starting off, you can place a bet of $0.2 as the minimum up to $100. This is a decently high stake ceiling that has an even higher win maximum. When you visit the paytable, the game says that the maximum win for a $1 bet is $55.028. This would then mean that the maximum win is 55.028x your bet. Now you can paint a picture in your head of what the jackpot is with that $100 bet.

Furthermore, the slightly negative side of the Bugs Money slot is the low RTP value of 95.50%. This is slightly below average for modern slots. In addition, the volatility of the game is set to very high so expect a lot of variance in your payouts.

Speaking of payouts, the regular symbol wins will be your most common reward. The low-win symbols can get you a maximum of 5x your bet for 5 of them in a payline. The high-win symbols can get you a 100x your bet win for 5 of them in a payline. These are quite high payouts for regular symbols which we always like to see. The wild has its own payout which is identical to the highest-winning symbol.

In terms of special features of the Bugs Money slot by Reflex Gaming, there are not that many. That said, the ones that are in the game work quite well with one another. Let us take a look at each one.

• Glow Wilds – The firefly bottle wilds work like any other wild. However, the added benefit is that glow wilds will randomly be placed on reels while you are spinning. These extra wilds can definitely come in handy with the great payouts the regular symbols offer.
• Free Spins – Landing 3 scatter symbols triggers the free spins and awards a bonus win of 8x your bet for 3, 40x for 4, and 200x for 5 scatters. The free spins are then played where a screen appears and the player selects the number of free spins. In free spins, a multiplier reel will spin and this multiplier will be applied to the win. Free spins can be retriggered with additional scatters.
• Queen Bee – The Queen Bee feature is awarded randomly in free spins. She will land on the center reel and increase the multiplier awarded by x10 for the current spin. She will also act as a wild symbol.

Lastly, players also have the option of turning on the Golden Bet for an increased chance of free spins.
