Pollen Party’s Best Bonus Features

• Land three Bonus symbols to trigger the Babee Bonus feature, which is a Pick Me game where you get to select from 20 Honeycombs, 17 of which will reveal a cash prize, two of which have Pop symbols (which when selected will end the bonus game) and the other is a Pop Blocker, which counteracts your first Pop symbol selection and allows you to keep playing.
• Three scatter symbols landed anywhere across the reels triggers the Free Spins bonus. You receive 12 free spins and during free spins there is a special Extra Wild on the reels which when landed in the middle position on the third reel will add up to three extra Wilds onto the reels for that spin.

How does Pollen Party play?

At first with the unusual reel layout of 3 symbols on reels 1 and 5, four on reels 2 and 4 and five on the third reel, it can look as if Pollen Party is a complex game, but in truth, although it may look radically different, with 720 ways to win, the slot actually plays like most other ways to win games.

The graphics are cartoon style and very bright and cheerful and this is echoed by the musical accompaniment and the blue sky/green hills backdrop for the slot. It all smacks of lovely spring and summer days and that cannot fail to bring a smile to your face. There’s a good mix of lower and higher value symbols on the reel all in keeping with the honeybee theme of the slot. The Wild symbol can substitute for all high and low value symbols but not the Bonus or Scatter symbols.

The two bonus games do give the game added excitement with the Free Spins round particularly exciting with the Special Wild landing on the middle of the centre reel triggering up to three extra Wilds, which can increase the value of any win markedly.
