The Hive

The Hive by Betsoft is a low-volatility slot with 30 paylines and a 96.13% RTP. It uses a hexagonal 3-4-5-4-3 layout, with 18 positions in the grid and bee symbols that move clockwise on each spin. The game is designed around a honeycomb theme, with the HONEY METER acting as the trigger for the bonus round.

Three bee types shape the gameplay. The QUEEN BEE can summon more bees, the DRONE BEE increases the honey meter by one level, and the WORKER BEES apply multipliers to winning paylines aligned with their positions. During the base game, random bees may appear on the grid, while spreading wilds are a feature of the free spins mode.

When the meter fills, five free spins begin with up to three initial wilds that can spread from one honeycomb to another. Players can use the demo version to play for free and practice before playing for real money, while reviewing how the special symbols and bonus features work.
