Overview
Reviewers see Bee Keeper as a Big Bass-style collection slot with a new theme. One calls it a lacklustre Big Bass clone and warns that nothing in the gameplay is new, while another says it executes its honeypot concept effectively without venturing into particularly innovative territory. Both agree on the main point, which is that the cap of 2,100x is low.
The theme is a cheerful countryside with bees, honey, flowers and a hive. The free spins are the heart of the game, with a bee wild that collects honey money values.
How to play and stakes
The game is played on five reels and three rows with ten fixed paylines. Stakes are reported inconsistently. The minimum is given as 5p by one source and 10p by another, and the top stake as 100, 125, 250 or £5. We cannot confirm which applies at a given casino, so check the game information screen before you play.
Wins come from matching symbols on the paylines, with scatters triggering the free spins. One source describes honey jars, a daisy, a strawberry, a honey dipper and a bee hive among the symbols.
RTP and the versions you may meet
The standard RTP is 96.53%, which every source agrees on. Three sources say operators can run lower versions of 95.53% and 94.53%, and one says the RTP is flexible across casinos. One reviewer notes that 96.53% is above average but does not put the game among the best RTP slots available.
Operators can choose which version to run, so check the game information at your casino. The RTP describes the long-run return across a very large number of spins and tells you little about a short session.
Volatility
Most sources say high. One scores it 5 out of 5 and describes it as very high, and one table lists medium to high. We treat it as a high-swing slot. One reviewer says the high volatility frustrated them, while the Wolfbet review describes quiet base play punctuated by sudden bonus rounds.
If you prefer frequent small returns, this is probably not the slot for you.
Max win and what it is worth in pounds
Most sources give the maximum win as 2,100x the stake. One casino listing shows 1,050x in its summary while repeating 2,100x in its text, so it seems to be a typing error and we have not used it. Two sources put the chance of reaching 2,100x at about 1 in 698,958 spins, and one says that is much better odds than many slots at around 1 in 10 million.
In pounds, 2,100x is £210 on a 10p stake, £2,100 on a £1 stake and £10,500 on a £5 stake. That is simple multiplication, not a figure from the studio. Several reviewers say the cap is too low for a high volatility slot.
Free spins, money symbols and retriggers
Landing 3, 4 or 5 scatters awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins. During the round, wilds collect the values of money symbols, and every fourth wild retriggers the feature with multipliers up to 20x, according to one source. Money symbols show random values, and one source lists possible values of 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 2,000x your total bet.
One review mentions honeypot multipliers, and another says the feature set includes wild collectors and multipliers. We did not find a verified step table, so we have left it out.
Bonus buy
One source says the bonus buy costs 100x your stake, and another lists a feature buy without a cost. Availability and cost can vary by casino and region, so check the game information screen.
Symbols and paytable
One source describes low-value card symbols from 10 to A, and themed symbols including honey jars, a daisy, a strawberry, a honey dipper and a bee hive. We have not given paytable values, because the sources we checked do not publish them in a form we could verify. The paytable inside the game is the reliable source for symbol payouts at your stake.
Hit frequency and win rate
No hit frequency or free spins frequency is published in the sources we checked, and one catalogue lists both as not available. The only published statistic is the max win probability of about 1 in 698,958 spins from two sources.
One reviewer’s best win in a single session was 66x and another’s was 110x in the demo. Those are anecdotes, not rates.
Is Bee Keeper enjoyable? Our verdict
Bee Keeper is a pleasant but unambitious pick for Big Bass fans who want a new theme. The 96.53% RTP is above average, the honey money collection is clear, and the cap has a published probability near 1 in 700,000. The 2,100x cap is low for the volatility, and one reviewer calls it a lacklustre clone, so try the demo before you commit.
