Gimme the Honey Megaways Slot Review

Gimme the Honey Megaways: Slot Overview

When I first loaded up Gimme the Honey Megaways, the thing that hit me straight away was the cheerful bee theme and that warm golden glow over the meadow. You get six main reels and the familiar Megaways set-up, with symbols changing in height on every spin and a bottom tracker reel running under the centre four reels. It feels busy without being messy, helped by light, bouncy music that fits the laid-back summer vibe.

Behind the cute exterior sits a mid to high volatility slot that can still sting if you run cold. The RTP sits at 95.98% in standard play, which is slightly under some modern games but not a deal-breaker for me. With up to 117,649 ways to win active at full stretch, it has that classic Megaways rhythm of frequent small hits, broken up by the odd screen that suddenly explodes into a cluster of cascades.

Gimme The Honey Megaways Slot Information

Gimme the Honey Megaways is built around six reels that shift between two and seven rows, plus a horizontal tracker under reels two to five. Wins land when you hit at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost. Stakes start at 0.2 per spin and go up to 20, which suits the way this slot plays, as you want a decent number of spins to let the features cycle and the cascades work.

The paytable sticks to a clear structure. Lows are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, paying between 0.4x and 0.8x your stake for six of a kind. Premiums are a white flower, blue flower, a bee smoker and that all-important jar of honey, paying from 1x up to 7.5x for six. On top of that, there are two wilds: the regular King Bee wild and the taller Queen Bee wild, both substituting for standard pay symbols.

Gimme the Honey Megaways: Slot Features

From a mechanical point of view, Gimme the Honey Megaways layers a few familiar systems. Every win triggers Cascading Wins, clearing the winning symbols and dropping in new ones from above, or from the side on the tracker, until no new win appears. Mystery Symbols show up as honeycomb pieces and flip into any regular pay symbol, with all mysteries from that spin turning into the same icon. The base game already feels quite active when these two combine with regular wilds.

Queen Bee Wild Symbol in Gimme The Honey Megaways

The Queen Bee Wild Symbol is where the slot starts to show a bit more character. Golden Hive symbols land only on the bottom tracker reel. When one hits, it summons a Queen Bee wild that fills the reel above. That Queen carries a multiplier equal to the reel height she covers, so a tall reel can be far more valuable than a stubby one. It is a neat twist that gives you a reason to care about reel size beyond just hit potential.

If the Queen Bee does not connect in a win straight away, she locks in place and triggers respins. The rest of the reels spin while her multiplier climbs by one on each losing respin. You can have more than one Queen Bee in view, and if another Golden Hive lands under an existing Queen, her multiplier nudges up again. Base game hits with a chunky Queen multiplier can look very sweet, even before the bonus round gets involved.

In my sessions, Queen Bee appearances in the base game felt a bit on the rare side, but when she did drop in tall and stick around for a few respins, the tension ramped up nicely. During free spins she becomes even more central, as her multiplier persists for the whole feature rather than resetting after a win. That persistence is the key driver behind those bigger clusters of wins that can push the total towards the higher end of what the game can do.

Free Spins in Gimme The Honey Megaways

Free spins in Gimme the Honey Megaways come from landing three to six scatters, awarding 6, 8, 10 or 12 spins. The basic structure stays the same, but the way Queen Bees behave steps up a gear. Whenever a Queen is on screen and does not hit, you still get her familiar respin, but those respins do not cost you any of your free spins. Her multiplier now grows on every losing Queen respin and carries on increasing across the whole bonus.

There is a safety net as well. If your free spins finish with a total win below 10x the bet, you get an extra four spins once per bonus round. You can also add more spins by landing three scatters during the feature, which gives +4. In practice, some bonuses will still fizzle when you never see a decent Queen Bee, but when you land one early and keep her building, it feels like the game finally reveals its more serious potential.

Bonus Buy in Gimme The Honey Megaways

If you are the sort of player who prefers skipping straight to the action, Gimme the Honey Megaways offers two Bonus Buy options. For 75x your stake you buy a standard free spins trigger with at least three scatters, raising the RTP to 96.26%. Pay 150x and you get a Super Bonus with at least four scatters and a guaranteed Queen Bee on the first spin, nudging the RTP up to 96.40%. I found the pricier option swings harder but can pay back in one strong session.

Gimme the Honey Megaways: Slot Verdict

After a fair few sessions with Gimme the Honey Megaways, I came away liking the way it sticks to an upbeat theme while giving enough depth for experienced players. The bee village backdrop and jaunty soundtrack soften the fact that the maths model can be unforgiving at times. Mid to high volatility combined with 25,500x max win potential means you are playing a slot that can feel steady for stretches, then suddenly spike when the right sequence of cascades and Queen Bees comes together.

What kept me spinning was that mix of familiar Megaways foundations with the more inventive Queen Bee mechanic. I would have preferred to see her a touch more often in the base game, but the way her multiplier persists in free spins does give the bonus round a clear identity. If you enjoy Megaways titles with a bright theme and are prepared for some swingy patches in pursuit of those bigger honey pots, this one is worth giving a proper session.
