As these old little characters start to grow, you could end up with tens of thousands of them, and that's before you even see your complimentary respins. Free spins are also up for grabs and there's a 5,000x max win as well.

Buzz Thrill Review

What could be more thrilling than watching an odd game area expand and contract whilst bringing you potentially thousands of ways to win? It seems like a pretty good idea to me – so far so good. There are free spins available and it always pleases me when there’s a realistic max 5,000x win. This should also work in this slot's favour!

Gameplay & Features

The game area is a little strange with your starting reels of 2-3-4-4-3-2. This gives you 576 ways to land a prize and they come from royal symbols and pictures symbols. The royals have values of up to 0.5x and the picture symbols can pay up to 2x.

Each time you land a win, you see the reels respin and the reels which contain one of the winning symbols will expand. They can grow to a maximum of six symbols high and if you manage this across the board, you'll have 46,656 ways to win. Fail to hit another win and the reels reset to their original size. 

Mystery doors land but not on the first or last set of reels. When they appear, they reveal either wild symbols or coin symbols. Coin symbols are instant cash payouts but they won't trigger a respin on their own.

As you can imagine, wild symbols will substitute for the royals and picture symbols. 

Bonus Game

Land three bonus symbols and you'll be off to play 6 free spins. The biggest advantage here is that the expanded reels will not reset between spins. Your mystery doors can produce coin symbols and if this happens, the coins will expand and replace all positions on the reel where they landed. More than one coin landing makes them add together before replacing other symbols. 

Some symbols can expand and wilds may join in. This is all thanks to a little bee that sometimes appears after a win. The first and last reels close and symbols on the central four reels are chosen to expand.

After a few minutes of play, I picked up six free spins and settled down to watch the bonus game unfold. On my first spin, the bee produced some wilds. Coin symbols then joined in, giving me a payout of 19x. 16.2x was my next win but nothing happened after that until the final spin. I ended up with around 50x.

Outside the UK, you can activate the Dream Bet. This increases your bet by 50% but also makes it more likely to hit the bonus game. Alternatively, you can go straight into the bonus game for 100x.

Expanding Respins

After a win, you get to respins the reels at no extra cost and watch them expand at the same time. Eventually, there can be 6 symbols on each. If you max out every reel, you’ll have 46,656 ways to win.

Free Spins

3 Bonus symbols have the power to trigger 6 free spins with expanded reels refusing to go back to their original size. Mystery symbols can reveal coins, which can also expand. Also, if a bee arrives, it might force other symbols to expand.

Win Potential

The wins during the base game can be a little tight but thanks to the respins and modifiers, you can see them grow sometimes. Due to the high volatility, you might all of a sudden see a huge payout but it's more than likely that this will happen during the bonus game. That's where I picked up a win of nearly 50x and I didn't have to buy my way into the bonus either. The RTP is 95.25%.

Design

Buzz Thrill is a quirky little creation with strange animal/insect/alien characters adorning the reels and paying out their prizes. The reels are sat on an odd martian landscape with not much going on apart from a red apocalyptic hue. 

The beat keeps the game ticking along nicely but it won't interfere with your concentration too much, I wouldn't have thought. It looks great on mobile devices as well and thanks to the simple layout, you shouldn't find anything too confusing.

Our Verdict

Watching the reels expand and produce respins is quite satisfying and I didn't tire of looking at these cute little characters either. I wasn't blown away by the win potential but I'm pretty sure the bonus game can conjure up some magic occasionally. Buzz Thrill is a nice slot and I had a pleasant time spinning these reels, so I'm sure you will as well.
