Evoplay has unveiled its latest addition to its game lineup, a slot titled Honey Royale. This 5×3 game merges a charming bee-themed environment with engaging jackpot features and a revamped Free Spins mechanic. At the heart of this game is the Queen Bee, who dominates the hive by occupying the central position of the third reel. Acting as a wild, she can substitute for all symbols with the exception of Cash and Jackpot symbols.
When the Queen Bee appears alongside either a Cash or Jackpot symbol, the Unlock & Win feature is activated, allowing players to collect and receive all the prizes displayed on the reels. Additionally, the Queen Bee spurs on further features that enhance the chances of accumulating rewards. One such feature, Queen Bee Spin, assures her appearance while randomly introducing Cash and Jackpot prizes to the reels. Meanwhile, Jackpot Rewind rewinds reel positions to unveil additional prizes.
The Queen Bee Rewind function can also reverse the center position of the third reel to disclose the Queen Bee, presenting another chance to trigger the Unlock & Win feature, along with the Honey Pots that offer Free Spins.
Free Spins become available when the Queen Bee activates one or both Honey Pots, with one Honey Pot granting six Free Spins and two yielding 12. During the Free Spins feature, the Queen Bee remains fixed in the central position throughout. The frequency of Queen Bee Spin and Jackpot Rewind increases, and the Honey Pots can be triggered again for extra Free Spins. Any Cash and Jackpot symbols that land during Free Spins can be collected through the Unlock & Win feature, allowing the Queen Bee to accumulate winnings that appear on the reels as the feature unfolds.
To enhance their chances of activating Free Spins, players can opt for Booster and Super Booster options or directly purchase either six or 12 Free Spins. Ivan Kravchuk, CEO of Evoplay, remarked,
"Honey Royale brings together a distinctive theme and a clear collection mechanic to create a game that is easy to engage with while offering plenty of opportunities for feature progression. The Queen Bee gives the title a strong central character and plays an important role throughout the experience, particularly during Free Spins where she remains in place and provides repeated opportunities to unlock Cash and Jackpot rewards."
