Wild Swarm

Fans of Razor Shark and Jammin’ Jars should swarm to this equally enjoyable title developed by the creator of all three that will have you buzzing with excitement.

The latest in a line of animal-themed offerings has all the makings of a fun-filled pokie, packing a ton of features that includes Instant Prizes, Sticky Wild Free Spins and a Swarm Mode, across the 5-reel, 4-row setup.

Design

Stylistically, this game follows on from other popular releases in Push Gaming’s back catalogue. Boasting sharp animations, the result is a well-crafted slot wrapped in a vivid color-scheme.

We head to the depths of the forest to kick off our adventure, meeting four low-paying playing cards, plus Swamp Flower, Honey Jar, Queen Bee, and Honey Dollar Symbols. The latter yields the bigger rewards, paying up to 30x for appearing in 5s across a payline.

A whimsical soundtrack accompanies the game, contributing to its relaxing feel.

During the base game look out for the four special Symbols, each possessing their own power. Substituting for every other symbol except the Scatter and Chest, the game’s Wild is the Honey symbol.

Wild Swarm Free Spins

More about the Scatter. These are represented by Hive symbols, and set off the Free Spins round whenever 3 or more appear in the same spin.

The more Scatters you snag, the more Free Spins on offer:

• 3 Scatters: 7 Free Spins
• 4 Scatters: 10 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters: 14 Free Spins

To enhance your win opportunities, any Wilds that land during Free Spins become Sticky Wilds for the duration of the feature.

Pick-Me Bonus

Found in both the base game and Free Play mode, the Pick-Me Bonus is triggered by landing a Chest anywhere on the playing area.

This prompts you to select from one of 5 Hives, each holding a different type of prize. At stake are Free Spins, Bet Multipliers, a Swarm Boost, or an instant ticket to the Swarm Mode round.

Should you launch the Pick-Me Bonus while playing Free Spins Game or during Swarm Mode, then 5 Free Spins are instantly yours, while Shifting Wilds also come into play.

Swarm Mode

To the right of the grid you’ll notice a Hive meter, which stores up Bees whenever they get stuck on the reels. Wilds then occupy vacant slots left by the stinging insects.

Once 5 Bees have flown up to the Hive and another lands on the reels, get ready to enter Swarm Mode. This feature awards you 10 Free Spins to start with, while locking in place all Sticky Wilds that populate the reels for the whole round.

After the feature has terminated, the Hive meter is reset back down to 2, 3 or 4 Bees, and you go again.

Medium Volatility

Wild Swarm does lack the high-octane potential of rival Push Gaming titles like Tiki Tumble.

A constant supply of modest wins account for its medium volatility rating, but the game’s moderate 97.03% RTP (Return to Player) rating should provide plenty of bang for your buck.

The Verdict

Push Gaming are renowned for their eye-catching releases, and Wild Swarm is no exception. This is a great looking slot that will have you buzzing all summer long thanks to its excellent production quality and variety of bonuses on offer. The game’s soundtrack isn’t bad, either.

Enter Swarm Mode to saviour some of the sweeter wins around - just don’t be stung by the occasional winless streak.

High rollers may be put off by the middling volatility score, however this is balanced by the sheer number of enjoyable features in play.
