Wild Swarm Triple Hive Slot Review
A sunny cartoon bee farm, three hives strung from a crossbeam above the reels, and a grid framed in carved wood like a signboard between two posts. Wild Swarm Triple Hive takes that gentle setting and bolts a surprisingly layered collection engine onto it: every bee the base game banks is a bet on a feature that may never arrive, and the more you’ve collected, the more a quiet spin matters. Push Gaming has run this on a 5×4 grid with 20 paylines, low-to-medium volatility and a maximum win of 23,902x the bet.
It sits alongside Wild Swarm 2 in the studio’s swarm series, and shares a collector’s patience with the likes of Jammin’ Jars and Big Bamboo, where symbols accumulate towards something bigger. Here the accumulation is the whole point: the triple hive system is what every spin feeds.
How the Base Game Pays
Wins land on 20 fixed paylines across five reels and four rows. The Wild Honey symbol substitutes for every paying symbol except the Chest, and it’s also the richest symbol on the board, paying the same as the top emblem. Values below are multiples of the total bet.
- Wild Honey / S emblem: 0.5x for two, 1x for three, 2x for four, 10x for five
- Crown: 0.6x for three, 1.2x for four, 4x for five
- Potion: 0.3x for three, 1x for four, 3x for five
- White Flower: 0.3x for three, 1x for four, 2x for five
- Purple Lily: 0.3x for three, 0.5x for four, 1.5x for five
- A, K, Q, J: 0.1x for three, 0.4x for four, 1x for five
The bet range runs from 0.10 to 100 per spin, which pairs with the low-to-medium volatility to make this a game of frequent modest hits rather than rare spikes. The collection system described next is what turns those small wins into something larger.
Royals and picture symbols fill out the lower rungs, and the reels themselves are framed in a carved wooden gantry strung between posts, with honey-gold scalloped awnings dripping down the buildings at either edge. It’s a chunky, storybook look, and the artwork keeps the grid busy without obscuring what’s happening on it.
Collectible Bees and the Three Hives
Wild Honey symbols sometimes arrive carrying a Collectible Bee. There are four types, and each one delivers itself to the hive matching its colour for a chance to set that hive’s feature running.
- Red Knight Bee: flies into the Jackpot Hive, for a chance at the Jackpot Hive Feature
- Green Knight Bee: flies into the Multiplier Hive, for a chance at the Multiplier Hive Feature
- Yellow Knight Bee: flies into the Sticky Hive, for a chance at the Sticky Hive Feature
- Queen Bee: flies into a random hive, with a higher chance of triggering a feature than any other bee
The bees are the game’s pacing mechanism. Nothing is guaranteed when a bee lands; each collection is a chance, not a certainty, and the Queen Bee’s improved odds make her the one to watch for.
Wheel Feature and Jackpots
The Chest symbol can land anywhere on the reels, in the base game or during free spins, and it activates a segmented Wheel that spins and awards a prize. The Wheel is also one of two routes to the jackpots, the other being the Jackpot Hive Feature or any combination of hive features.
The jackpots are bet multipliers, and all of them can be won multiple times in a single session:
- Mini: 10x the bet
- Minor: 25x the bet
- Maxi: 50x the bet
- Mega: 100x the bet
- Grand: 1,000x the bet
Jackpot Hive Feature
When the Jackpot Hive Feature runs, Sticky Wilds land with Jackpot Tokens attached, and the tokens feed the meter for their prize. Fill a meter and the jackpot pays, then the meter resets and the climb starts again. The meters need two Mini, three Minor, four Maxi, five Mega or six Grand tokens respectively, which puts the Grand at the end of the longest collection in the game.
Free Spins Features
Each hive guards its own free spins round, and a bee taken in by its hive gives that round a chance to start. Any single hive feature awards seven free spins. During the round, Sticky Wilds lock in place until the feature finishes, and filling an entire reel with Sticky Wilds awards one extra spin.
Sticky Hive Feature
Before the first free spin, four Sticky Wilds land at random on the reels. The round begins with a head start, and the sticky placements do the rest.
Multiplier Hive Feature
Reel multipliers sit above reels two, three and four during free spins, valued at 2x, 4x and 8x respectively. Fill a reel that carries a multiplier with Sticky Wilds, and the multiplier applies to every Sticky Wild on that reel. A full stack on reel four, at 8x, is where this feature does its heaviest lifting.
Combo Hive Features
Features can combine. Any pairing of two hive features awards ten free spins, and all three together award twelve. Combos can be triggered by mixed bee collections or through the Wheel Feature.
Queen Bee
The Queen Bee symbol can land during any hive feature or combination, and she adds between one and four Sticky Wilds to the reels, functioning as a Sticky Wild herself. She is the swing symbol in every bonus round: one appearance can turn a modest spread of stickies into a full reel, and a full reel means an extra spin.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
This is a game about tending something. You pick Wild Swarm Triple Hive when you want a slot where the spin you’re watching is also the spin after the one you’re waiting for, and the bees drifting up into their hives give the base game a warmth most collection slots don’t bother with.
Its best idea is that nothing here is a dead end: bees feed hives, hive features combine into bigger rounds, jackpot meters reset and start again, so a single session can keep paying into itself. Its worst is that the paytable underneath all of that is thin. Five-of-a-kind top pays of 10x the bet mean the stretches between features are flat, and the gentle volatility does nothing to disguise it.
It’s for players who enjoy the slow build and don’t need a bruising ride to stay interested, and series fans will feel at home immediately. Anyone hunting brutal swings won’t find them here. For the rest, this is honey money: it comes slowly, and it comes sweet.
