Buzz Thrill

Buzz Thrill: A Different Kind Of Bee Slot

Buzz Thrill is the debut release from Dreamspin, a new studio founded by the team behind well-known slot-streaming channels, and it lands on 6 reels with a genuinely inventive twist: rather than the usual pollen-and-honey setup, this bee colony has gone interstellar. The story plays out on an alien landscape with barely a flower in sight, giving Buzz Thrill a sci-fi edge that sets it apart from the crowded field of insect-themed slots.

Gameplay Feel And Grid Mechanics

Where most slots keep their reel shape fixed, Buzz Thrill defaults to an unusual 2-3-4-4-3-2 symbol pattern across its 6 reels, generating 576 ways to win from the off — and those reels expand further during feature play, pushing the ways-to-win count up toward the tens of thousands at its peak. Wins pay in both directions: left to right from the leftmost reel, and right to left from the rightmost, though six-of-a-kind combinations only pay the one way. The regular paytable mixes honey-glazed 10-through-Ace card symbols with a cast of bee characters — Cleetus the Larvae, Andy H the Scientist, Allie the Bodybuilder, Shadow the Slob and Honey the Bee Queen — with the bee cast paying noticeably more than the card ranks for a full six-symbol line.

RTP Explained

Dreamspin has set Buzz Thrill's top RTP at 95.58%, achieved when betting the full range up to £20 per spin. That's a respectable if not chart-topping return figure, sitting a shade below the very best RTP releases but still within normal territory for a modern high-volatility slot with an expanding-reel mechanic.

Volatility And Hit Frequency

This is a high-volatility game, rated 5 out of 5 on the standard chilli scale, and the published hit frequency of 21.30% backs that up — you'll land a paying combination on roughly one in every five spins, but the size of those wins swings widely depending on how far the reels expand and whether a feature triggers. It's built for players who don't mind quieter stretches in exchange for the chance of a much larger payout.
