Beellionaires Dream Drop

Theme and Design

Fans of Paramount’s The Bee Movie will feel right at home with this game. The cartoon characters each have a personality of their own and the backdrop of the beehive village is too cute for words. When it shifts to night time the bonus game begins, inviting you inside the hive for a shot at winning bigger prizes.

There are a bunch of bee-themed slot games out there and perhaps this slot borrows from NetEnt’s Bee Hive Bonanza, or Push Gaming’s Wild Swarm 2. But, for us, the cute villagey vibe is enough to differentiate it from those.

RTP and Variance

This slot has an RTP of 94% which might not seem great, but compared to other progressive jackpot slots it’s just about average. This is made better by the fact that 12% of every spin goes towards that progressive jackpot pool, which can grow as large as £3 million.

The variance is high which will be enough to weed out the players on lower budgets. While the max win is large, you’ll need a good chunk of change behind you to make it through the slower streaks on this game.

Maximum Win

Beellionaires Dream Drop has a non-progressive max win of 10,000x your bet. This is right in the middle of the Dream Drop network, meaning there are bigger ones on offer, like in Space Miners Dream Drop at 50,000x and smaller ones too, like Temple of Fury Dream Drop at 1,780x. For us, Beellionaires dream is right in the sweet spot, the prize is still huge, but feels achievable.

Of course, there’s also the progressive jackpot to consider. The Mega jackpot is the biggest on the network, which doesn’t pay out until it hits at least €1,000,000!

Symbols and Paytable

You play on a 5x4 grid where you form wins by landing at least 3 matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the left. Importantly, this is a win ways game so it does not matter which row the symbols are on, giving you 1,024 paylines in total. 

There are eight pay symbols in total, plus a Crown symbol which triggers scatters and Coin symbols that trigger the Royal Respins feature. We’ll look into both of those special symbols below. First, let’s concentrate on the standard paytable.

There are four low value symbols, all the card suits. These pay out from 0.06x your bet for 4x symbols, up to 0.1x your bet for 5x symbols. The premium symbols are the tankard of mead, the scroll, the horn, and the jar of honey. These pay out from 0.06x your bet for 3x tankards, up to 5x your bet for 5x jars of honey.

Features and Gameplay

If the payouts on the standard paytable seem a little low then don’t panic! There are a bunch of features in this game that increase your wins massively. Let’s take a look at them.

Collector Symbols

Bees are known for their collecting skills and it’s no different in this game. At the very top of the reels, you’ll see the collector reel, where Prince Bees and Queen Bees come to visit. They appear at the window at random (including in bonus rounds) and award you any of the cash multiplier coins below. 

Prince Bees collect coins on the reel directly below then, while the Queen collects coins from all reels. If they both show up at the same time then you get awarded all of the reels once, plus the coins below the Prince Bee twice.

Royal Re-spins

If three collector bees show up (Princes or Queens) then you win three re-spins. Only the coin symbols are in play and all of the collectors stay right where you are to award you any coin winnings that land.

Free Spins

The scatter symbols give you the chance to enter the free spins round. If 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols land anywhere on the grid then you’ll receive 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. During the free spins bonus the usual symbols are removed to be replaced by only coins.

The Booster Bees can also show up in this round, bringing added coins, upgraded coins, and even additional free spins. 

Dream Drop Bonus

Sometimes the collector reel fills up with DD symbols instead. This can happen at any point during the game and means the Dream Drops Bonus round is about to start. Only DD symbols and collector bees appear during the round, as soon as you collect 5 DD symbols your jackpot is revealed. 

The jackpots are seeded as follows:

• Rapid (seeded at €1)
• Midi (seeded at €5)
• Maxi (seeded at €100)
• Major (seeded at €25,000)
• Mega (seeded at €500,000 with a minimum payout of €1,000,000)
