BEETLE JEWELS ONLINE SLOT REVIEW

Progressive Jackpot: No

Software: iSoftBet

Paylines: 10

Reels: 5

RTP: 95.50%

When it comes to magical creatures, beetles don’t really rank up there. However, iSoftBet has endeavored to change all that in Beetle Jewels, an online video slot that is prepared to correct that omission.

Beetle Jewels is a five-reel slot that has three rows and 10 fixed paylines. An intricate golden frame inlaid with blue gems frames those reels while the backdrop is comprised of a wooded scene complete with fireflies trailing lights behind them.

Before you can join this dazzling adventure, you should set your betting range the way it suits your needs the best. "Coin Value" arrow will help you set the coin denomination which ranges from 0.01 to 1. By clicking on "Auto Spin" the reels will turn without interruption for a chosen number of times, whereas "Spin" will set the reels in motion once.

With the hum of the forest, the chirp of the crickets and a relaxing soundtrack, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Beetle Jewels is just a genteel affair. Players will find it to be anything but especially with its medium to high variance. Sure, the base game isn't the most original but the game really takes off once you trigger the Free Spins feature.

Once you get to grips with how the feature functions, Beetle Jewels is a very enjoyable slot that will eat up most of your time. It has some beautiful graphics, a mild soundtrack and the ability to set up to 1,000 autoplays for the laziest of us. It also comes with an RTP of 95.50%.

FEATURE SYMBOLS

The higher value symbols are comprised of four multicolored beetles, the most valuable of which is worth 5000x your line stake. Of course, there is also the standard playing card characters of 10, J, Q, K and A that represent the lower values.

The wild and the scatter are one and the same symbol and that’s a glowing blue beetle with pretty purple wings. It’s also the only symbol contained in a golden circle. At least three will trigger the bonus while two will act as normal wilds, substituting for all others to help form winning combos.

BONUS ROUNDS

Free Spins

This is initiated by landing three or more of the beetle scatter/wild symbols anywhere in view for which you will receive an initial ten free spins which can be retriggered by landing more scatters.

There’s also a slightly complex extra feature here, which we will try to explain here. On each spin, a standard symbol will be picked at random and shown above reel three. After that spin, all symbols on the reels where that chosen one lands will match it as long as the following rules are met:

• If the chosen symbol is a beetle (but not the scatter/wild), there must be at least two other beetles on separate reels.

• If the chosen symbol is 10, J, Q, K or A, there must be at least three others on separate reels.

Wins will now payout for those symbols even if there are no combos on active paylines.
