Beetle Mania Slot Review 2024

Beetle Mania

Beetle Mania, a Novomatic powered slot, comes with 5 reels, 9 paylines and among its features you find wild symbols, free games, multipliers and scatters. The top jackpot is worth a whopping $500,000!

The action in Beetle Mania focuses on the life of various types of insects, both crawling and flying kinds. It's a cute design, which uses a mix of standard playing cards and well designed insect symbols. Everything mixes well enough together, despite the classic card symbols being used. Most of the screen is taken by the white reels with the dark blue background visible behind them. The symbols come with cute little animations whenever you have a combination formed with them. The symbols offered here include bees, snails, butterflies, worms, beetles and musical signs.

The credit's value starts at $0.01 and can be increased up to $2, with the player having the option of using up to 100 credits per line, with 900 total in the maximum wager. The prizes get just as big as the bets though and there is a chance of winning up to 500,000 credits if you get the slot's best combination.

The bee symbol acts as a wild in this case and its animation is a close-up with it and then it winks at you. The wild substitutes for all regular symbols. At the same time, getting five symbols with the bee will award the player the slot's top jackpot.

The bee, together with the snail, butterfly and worm symbols will award payouts for 2 to 5 symbols on a payline, while the playing cards will award payouts for 3 to 5 symbols.

The musical note will act as a scatter symbol and when the player has three or more of them on the reels, starting from the left and going towards the right side, he gets 10 free games. For the duration of the free games, the player can get a beetle symbol on the 3^rd reel. If that happens, the payouts for that round get doubled thanks to the symbol's 2x multiplier. One of the downsides of the free games is that you can't retrigger them while they're playing even if you have the required scatter symbols.

Despite the low key graphics, this slot looks like a decent choice, especially if you consider its betting options and potential payouts. It also has all the usual features that you're used to so there are no major downsides here.
