Honey Rush

Honey Rush Slot

Honey Rush is a charming slot with a unique honeycomb layout accommodating 37 symbols on the screen. This is a 2019 release that Play’n GO added to their hugely popular category of grid slots with cluster pays, cascading symbols, and a multiplier meter.

Despite its serene, almost Disney-like cartoon appearance, this is, in fact, a highly volatile slot with a max payout of 9,000x bet size. It comes with Play’n GO’s standard RTP percentage of 96, which, as we know, may differ across casinos.

How to Play

Set at the backdrop of a delightful animated forest, Honey Rush offers the typical bet values for Play’n GO slots – from $0.2 to $100. It’s hard to find reels and rows at first here, given the hexagon layout, but you can still distinguish seven reels and a formation of 4-5-6-7-6-5-4 symbols per reel. There are no paylines, so just hit the Spin button or adjust the Autoplay settings to your preference.

The paytable consists of diamonds, coins, and a variety of flowers, with a honey pot acting as a wild that replaces all other symbols. To form a winning combo, land at least five adjacent symbols in a cluster. Once the payout has been collected, new symbols are dropped on the reels to replace the ones from the winning cluster.

Colony Features

The characteristic for grid slots meter is called Rush Meter here, and it is located to the right of the hexagon reels. It counts consecutive wins and unlocks four levels that come with their respective colony features – drone or queen colony – and a sticky wild. Collect 20, 40, and 80 symbols to unlock levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. These will activate the drone colony that creates a cluster of at least seven symbols and adds a sticky wild.

160 symbols unlock the fourth level that comes with the queen colony feature that can create a cluster of up to 37 symbols to cover all positions on the grid, yielding the highest payout for the symbol. The Honey Rush slot also has a worker colony feature that can be randomly triggered on non-winning spins to form a cluster of between 7 and 15 symbols.

Winning combination:

• Level 1: requires 20 winning symbols. Activates the Drone Colony + 1 Sticky Wild.
• Level 2: requires 40 winning symbols. Activates the Drone Colony + 1 Sticky Wild.
• Level 3: requires 80 winning symbols. Activates the Drone Colony + 1 Sticky Wild.
• Level 4: requires 160 winning symbols. Activates the Queen colony.

Verdict

With its unconventional setup, Honey Rush may seem complicated at first, especially to beginner slot players, but once you get going, you will find the gameplay to be rather straightforward with no bonus rounds to distract from the main action.

Keep in mind that this is a high-variance slot and although the multipliers and colony features significantly increase the winning potential, be prepared and plan your budget as to sustain a number of consecutive spins with no payout.
