Beetle Frenzy

Awwwwww! What a pretty slot! It’s all flower power and ladybugs! OK, the electric-shock bug zapper sound effects may not be quite so lovely, but they add to the atmosphere!
Beetle Frenzy is an old-style slot from NetEnt that recreates that authentic casino feel, including the plastic palm tree graphics in the background.

The symbols are so cute and nicely done – pretty flowers, bright beetles, a bug jar and a funky purple magic mushroom. It’s a hippy’s delight, and believe me, I took a crazy ‘trip’ down slots memory lane with this one!

The paytable isn’t on the slot, as that would detract from the cartoon graphics. But you can flick through it by clicking on the ‘paytable’ button. There is also an Autospins feature.
This is a classic nine-reel, five-line slot. The minimum bet is 0.10, while the maximum, if you activate all the paylines is 25. Jackpot is 500. Beetle Frenzy has a payout percentage of 95 per cent.
What you want are those dreamy blue flowers, as they activate one of the bonus features. If you manage to make nine of them appear on one spin, then you will be in line for a colourful payout of 900 times your line bet.

Making this game truly interactive is the tempting Skillstop feature. This means you can stop the reels yourself, instead of waiting for the game to do it for you.

This takes me way back to slots of years gone by, and my bravado as I tried to show a steady hand. Crazy days! Get this right and you’re a super slot champion, mess it up, and you’re more of a fungus than a magic mushroom!

Three bug jars trigger the Bug Collector bonus feature. You then get to pick the jars to reveal your mystery bonus prize.

Three of the pretty flower symbols of the same colour trigger the Flower Frenzy Bonus Game, a mad free spins feature, which pays out up to three times more than the standard game. This is great fun, like playing something at nursery, only with better prizes! You decide where to stop the counter as it flies around the symbols. But once you hit the button, it doesn’t stop dead, but slows down, like a roulette ball. I can see punters playing this over and over in order to hone their skills, as when and where you hit the button makes a big difference to your bonus.

Like all best video slots, Beetle Frenzy has a wild symbol – a lovely little firefly – and gold scatter apples. There is also a lucky spin feature, if you get four corners or the middle of four sides of the reels. Plenty to keep you busy here! And what’s more, it’s so weirdly hypnotic. Be careful, you could lose yourself among the bugs and the grubs in this garden of gaming delight, who knows where you might end up – all at the spin of a reel. Enjoy your trip!
