Sticky Bees
Sticky Bees turns a peaceful forest into a constantly changing 7 by 7 grid where a single Golden Bee can create an entire network of Wild positions. Pragmatic Play combines Cluster Pays with Tumbles, randomly marked cells and Super Wilds that can activate those cells for subsequent cascades. The concept becomes considerably stronger during Free Spins because activated positions stop resetting and remain available throughout the bonus. With high volatility, a default RTP of 96.06%, a 22.88% hit frequency and a maximum payout of 10,000x the total bet, Sticky Bees is built around gradually converting useful sections of the grid into Wild territory. Wins require clusters of at least 5 matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Diagonal contact by itself does not count. Card ranks form the lower paying section of the grid, while cherries, grapes, oranges, watermelons, plums and strawberries provide the premium values. Larger clusters increase the payout, with the strawberry capable of returning up to 125x the total bet for a sufficiently large group. A regular Wild can appear anywhere and substitutes for every normal paying symbol but not for the Bonus Scatter. Every winning cluster activates a Tumble. Symbols belonging to the win disappear, the remaining symbols fall into the empty spaces and fresh symbols arrive from above. If another qualifying cluster forms, another Tumble follows. This continues until the refreshed grid fails to produce another win, allowing one paid spin to develop through several consecutive cluster combinations. The feature that gives Sticky Bees its identity begins before those Tumbles even start. Between 12 and 19 positions are randomly marked on every base game spin. The Golden Bee is the Super Wild and behaves as a normal Wild unless it lands on one of these marked positions. When that happens, the position becomes activated. Any symbol subsequently landing on an activated position during the same Tumble sequence is automatically transformed into a Wild. A successful Super Wild activation can spread the effect considerably further. In the base game, a Golden Bee landing on a marked position can send between 2 and 6 additional Super Wilds to other randomly selected marked positions. Those locations are activated as well, potentially creating several Wild producing cells across the grid. All marked and activated positions reset once the entire Tumble sequence finishes, so the next paid spin starts with a fresh random arrangement. The Bonus Scatter can appear across the grid. Landing at least 4 Scatters awards 7 Free Spins, with one additional Free Spin granted for every Scatter beyond the fourth on the triggering result. Free Spins keep the same Cluster Pays and Tumble mechanics, but the marked position system changes significantly. Between 16 and 19 positions are selected at the beginning of the feature and remain marked until the entire bonus ends. Each Free Spin guarantees between 1 and 3 Super Wilds on randomly selected marked positions. When those Bees activate their locations, the positions remain activated not merely for the current Tumble sequence but for every subsequent Free Spin. Any ordinary symbol that later enters an activated cell becomes Wild, which means the grid can accumulate increasingly valuable permanent Wild producing positions as the bonus develops. This persistent activation gives early Super Wilds considerably more importance than late ones. A location activated on the first Free Spin can potentially transform symbols throughout almost the entire feature, while additional guaranteed Bees continue expanding the number of active cells. There are no multiplier symbols in Sticky Bees, so its strongest sequences depend entirely on building enough permanent Wild positions to support repeated large clusters and long Tumble chains. The feature can also be extended. Landing at least 3 Bonus Scatters during Free Spins awards 1 additional Free Spin. This can happen repeatedly, and every extra round retains all positions already activated. Where direct feature purchases are permitted, the Free Spins round can be bought for 100x the total bet. The Bonus Buy configuration has an RTP of approximately 95.96%, slightly below the standard game. Sticky Bees has a standard RTP of 96.06%, with alternative configurations of 95.02% and 94.06%. Stakes range from 0.20 to 100 per spin in the commonly published configuration. The hit frequency is 22.88%, equivalent to a theoretical win approximately once every 4.37 spins, while Free Spins occur naturally around once every 302.75 spins. The probability of reaching the 10,000x maximum payout is approximately 1 in 10,869,565 spins. There is no Megaways system or progressive jackpot. The real attraction is watching isolated marked cells gradually become permanent Wild factories, giving Sticky Bees a bonus that can become visibly stronger with almost every successful Golden Bee.
