Play Wild Swarm for Free

The busy bees behind this insect-themed slot are the development team at Push Gaming. It's a small and relatively young company that has produced an impressive quantity of high quality slots in the few years since its inception. Some of the team's top titles include the popular ancient Egyptian-themed slot, Blaze of Ra and the funky disco grooving candy crush-style game that is Jammin' Jars.

Fans of these titles are likely to have high expectations of latest releases from the company and the Wild Swarm video slot won't disappoint. One of the company's best strengths is the HTML5 coding and mobile-optimized design of its games. The Wild Swarm video slot plays with a slick, fast pace on any device, but, it's particularly well suited to playing on a smartphone or tablet from one of the top mobile casinos.

Against a charming forest backdrop where fireflies light up the night sky the 5x5 reels of the Wild Swarm video slot play host to all things sweet. There are nectar filled flowers, jars of honey, the queen bee and a honey soaked dollar sign in a honeycomb. Payouts for winning combinations of these tasty symbols range from 4x to 600x your line bet.

To sweeten the prize pool further there's a wild honey symbol to substitute and increase your win lines. Three or more hive scatters will trigger a free spins feature during which sticky wilds come into play to boost combinations of symbols.

Plus, there's a super tasty pick'em feature in the form of a chest that can land randomly on the reels. Hidden behind five honeycomb cells are rewards such as free spins, level-ups and multipliers of your total bet. We've seen some massive multipliers of up to 250x your total bet from this generous feature.

The game's best bonus, and the secret behind the name, is the swarm mode feature, which is, naturally, the most challenging to trigger. A player needs to show some real loyalty to the slot to trigger this top feature because it will only be awarded once you've reached a certain level.

As bees land on the reels, they'll buzz on to the hive with a cry of glee. This hive collecting is monitored in a meter to the right of the reels. Reach level five on the meter and the hive might explode, triggering the swarm mode bonus. It's a free spins round with an increased number of sticky wilds that can really see win lines stack up for big real cash prizes.

Players who need to get the measure of the highs and lows of the game's volatile action can load up the Wild Swarm video slot to play for free right here. For recreational gamblers this is likely to be enough to keep you occupied as you aim for the top level features. If, however, you're keen to hit the real cash game, then our expert guide to the best online casinos will give you the top site recommendations and the best deals available.

If you love all things apiary, then here are some top recommendations for slots to visit next.

The Wild Swarm video slot is a cute, entertaining and appealing insect-themed slots game with some serious real cash potential. Volatility is medium to high and, during our tests, we experienced some long spells of play with little action, followed by massive real cash wins that, on occasion, doubled the balance. It's certainly worth holding out to benefit from all the game's features, but players will need a commitment of time and some savvy bankroll management to ride the swings and lows.
