The Hive takes place on a 3-4-5-4-3 configuration. The hexagonal reel grid boasts the cluster pays mechanic. What’s more, the video slot pays both ways! The dual-way payout system with 30 paylines allows for even more winning combos and tasty treats.

Now that you know the basics of The Hive, let us show you how you can rule this colony of bees. The slot is fittingly shaped like a beehive. Betsoft decided to rid of the standard 5×3 reel grid exclusively for this release. We could see the cluster pays mechanics in the provider’s Gemmed! slot, but this one’s unique.

In the lower right-hand corner, you can find the main Spin button as well as the autospin switch. By clicking the latter button, you’ll open the autoplay menu. There, you can adjust the number of automated spins. These go from 5 to 100.

On the opposite side of the reel grid, players can notice music and sound settings. By tapping on the speaker button once, you’ll silence all the sound effects and music in the game. Speaking of which, as the background soundtrack, you can hear a rhythmic melody of joyful ukulele Hawaiian music.

In The Hive from Betsoft, the available amount of coins goes from 0.10 to 10. The low volatility works well with this humble range. The most you can bet per spin is $150. To begin a spinning round in The Hive, place your bet. Use the plus and minus buttons to increase and decrease your current bet, respectively. As the wooden tiles with the number of coins shuffle to left or right, wait for the spotlight to mark your current bet.

Betsoft announced the maximum optimal payout for The Hive to be €30,240, which is around 378x the initial bet. While the cashout is not mind-blowing, The Hive will have a special place in our hearts for good.
