Buggin Slot Review

Buggin Slot Overview

A Bug’s Life? The Bee Movie? Neither of those cinematic classics have anything on Buggin, brought to you by ELK Studios! Buggin is set on the standard five reels with three rows, making great use of a Cluster Pays/Cascading Reels combination. The bug-themed slot has plenty of bonus treats, including five different Wild symbols, multipliers, free spins, and a max win of 10,000x. Get all the details in our comprehensive Buggin slot review.

Buggin delivers lots of action on the reels, with cascading wins stealing the show. The slot has a good range of special symbols, including extra wilds that are not as elusive as you’d expect. The main bonus feature also promises a good win amount, so there’s plenty to get excited about. The super version of the free spins feature is where the biggest wins are achieved, but this bonus round doesn’t come around often. Although the game falls short with its 94% RTP, the top win of 10,000x is pretty solid, and the gameplay itself offers excellent entertainment.

Buggin Slot Features

Wild Symbols

In addition to five different Feature Wilds (more on those later), the slot also has a regular 'W' Wild symbol which substitutes for regular symbols to form more winning combinations.

Multipliers

Buggin also benefits from multiplier symbols, which come in the form of Multiplier Wilds. These symbols can increase your win amount by up to 99x.

Cascading Reels

The game uses Cascading Reels, which means clusters of wins are removed and replaced with new symbols. This allows you to hit multiple wins on the same bet, and the wins keep coming until a losing spin is landed.

Progress Bar & Feature Wilds

The winning symbols are collected in the Progress Bar, which will activate a random Feature Wild each each time it fills up during consecutive wins. The Wilds will only activate the attached modifier if they are part of a win. Here are the available modifiers you can unlock:

Big Wild: transforms a pay symbol into a 2x2 or 3x3 size
Multiplying Wild: adds its multiplier to Wilds that are not part of a win
Random Wild: replaces two to four random pay symbols with Wilds
Removing Wild: removes all lowest value symbols
Upgrading Wild: upgrades all random pay symbols

Wild Re-Drops Feature

A random Feature Wild will be marked with a lock on each spin. If you hit enough Feature Wilds to land that specific locked feature wild, it will activate the Wild Re-Drop feature. This releases the collected Feature Wilds, with all standard wilds staying active during the round.

Free Spins Bonus

If you land three or more bonus symbols on the reels, you’ll unlock the Free Spins Bonus - armed with seven free spins. During this round, Wild symbols become sticky, remaining in place for the duration.

Super Free Spins

Landing three or more bonus symbols will trigger seven super free spins, provided one or more super bonus symbols are included in the winning combination. You start the Super Free Spins bonus with the Progress Bar pre filled, making it easier to unlock Feature Wilds.

Bonus Buy Feature

Depending on the bonus round, you can buy into the bonus rounds for between 3x and 500x your stake. However, this option is not available to those based in the UK.

Our Verdict Buggin has a good mix of bonus features to keep you entertained, with the main attraction being the Super Free Spins Bonus. Although it’s hard to trigger each bonus round, and you don’t get that many free spins, there are so many features in play that it helps to make up for it.

Buggin Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
94%	Yes	High

Buggin has a Return to Player (RTP) rating of 94%, which is a whole 2% under the industry standard for a slot game. Additionally, the game has a high volatility, which means the wins may not be as frequent, but the wins that hit will be more sizable.

Our Verdict The game’s RTP comes in significantly lower than the average, which is due to the Cluster Pays mechanic being in play. However, the high volatility means the wins are much bigger, thanks to the Cascading Reels and special symbols. Furthermore, the game has an adjustable RTP, which means it’s possible for online casinos to set a lower RTP percentage, so be sure to check before you play.

Buggin Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Buggin has a stunning look and feel, with a theme centred around bugs living in a garden. The game is based in a well-groomed garden with lots of flowers and a pond. The 7x7 reel grid sits at the forefront on a transparent reel set-up. The reels are populated by different coloured bug chargers, flowers, mushrooms, and other things you find growing in your garden. There’s lots of animation when the wins hit, and the backdrop changes to night-time when you land the bonus feature.

Audio

The audio track keeps the gameplay exciting with a jolly beat to spin to. However, it’s likely to feel repetitive, so you can always switch it off at the toggle of a switch.

Our Verdict Buggin has an attractive appearance that certainly invites you in to spin the reels. The Cascading Reel grid is neatly presented on a pleasant backdrop, and the colourful symbols and awesome animation make it a great game to beat boredom with. The game's design creates a fun environment which adds charm and joy to your play.

Buggin Slot on Mobile

ELK Studios has put a lot of work into developing the slot, which is fully optimised for mobile play. The mobile-friendly slot is compatible with all iOS and Android devices. The reel grid flawlessly fits the smaller screen, and the high-quality visuals and easy touch play mean you can enjoy exhilarating play while at home or on the move.
