Slot information
Mystic Hive isn’t played on traditional reels, but instead you’ll see a hive with 19 symbols, which is almost the equivalent of a 5×4 board that has 20 symbols. The hive actually has paylines, 30 of them, and three-, four- and five-of-a-kind wins are possible. Paylines pay both ways.
The range of bets is amazing and it will suit both the smallest player and the high roller, as you can play already for $0.10 per spin, while the maximum allowed bet is $90. Theoretical return to player (RTP) is 96.13%, and the game definitely has low variance.
Base game
The game has nine symbols in the paytable plus special symbols. Seven of the nine symbols are incapable of even giving you your stake back on a single payline win, and then there are two symbols, Mushroom and Green Gem, with prizes of 5x and 10x for five-of-a-kind respectively. The biggest win that’s possible in the game is a full hive of Green Gem (or Wilds), 30 paylines, which is worth 300x your total bet.
Fireflies
With each spin, a Firefly can appear around your hive. There are three types. The Green Firefly summons a storm of other Fireflies to surround the hive, improving the chances to collect violet nectar. Yellow Firefly awards a stacking multiplier that increases with the number of other Yellow Fireflies that surround the hive. The multiplier will apply to a winning payline that aligns with the Yellow Firefly. Finally, Red Firefly will fill the Nectar Meter.
Violet Nectar Free Spins
When the Nectar Meter is full as the Red Fireflies filled it, you win 5 free spins. This may not sound like much, especially since it’s a long wait for the Nectar Meter to fill up, but during the feature you get 1, 2 or 3 Nectar Burst Spreading Wilds. Wilds will spread from their initial place on the hive to adjacent cells after every spin, and will continue to spread until the end of the feature. Variance is high with the free spins feature, and sometimes there won’t be a big win, but the potential is definitely there. Mystic Hive is therefore a slot that’s supposed to be played in longer playing sessions, as that’s when you unlock the game’s potential.
Verdict
Mystic Hive is a low variance online slot in which it’s difficult to win big, though it’s certainly possible if you get enough Green Gems and Wilds in your hive. The game can be played for a long time without losing much money, if any at all, so it’s a perfect game for players who like it that way.
