Money Bee Slot Machine
When was the last time you stopped to think about the unseen world around us, what lurks underneath the soil and inside the hollows in a tree? We’re so caught up in our own worlds that we neglect to remember that there are many other worlds inside our own; we’re one big microscope, but we’re only looking at ourselves.
Money Bee doesn’t get as deep and teary eyed about how we neglect the world around us, but it does give us some fictionalised insight into the life of insects, a bit like how Antz and A Bug’s Life did back when they were released in 1998 (has it really been that long, deary me!). We couldn’t have hit the nail more firmly on its head, for the appearance of the 5-reels and its 5 fixed winlines look like deleted scenes from those films.
On Another Level
So you’ve been shrunk down and made the size of a pinhead – now is your chance to pal around with the group and make some new buggy friends. Don’t be scared of their giant size now that you’re small, they’re all good guys with families, just like you.
Take that buzzing bee over there, she’s got a lot of mouths to feed, so many in fact that she carries 1,000 credits with her wherever her and her four identical siblings go. She’ll also give some money away if you find only three or four of them, but the value is a smaller amount of between 16 and 200 coins. Also acting as the wild of the group, the bee will remove other symbols bar the scatter icon, and so help to create combos when the reels haven’t been as kind.
On a very random level, we have the scatter tile, a musical note that can reward up to 50 free games, with only a match of five needed to activate them. Why it’s a music note we just don’t know, but what we do know is that these games can’t be retriggered, and a ladybird can appear that’ll secure your previous wins.
Double Trouble
In Money Bee there’s the chance to up your payouts after each small victory, this happens when the spin button turns into two, labelled ‘Double’ and ‘Take’; opting for take will return the spin button. However, if you go for double you get to play the gamble feature. This feature is a guessing one, presenting you with a card, it’s value hidden – guess what that value is and you win. The doubling doesn’t just stop with one go, if you keep winning you can get x5 your initial win. So far so good, but then you have the huge risk of losing everything if you guess wrongly; this is one that tests the wills and mental strength of men.
Tiny Hands, Tiny Bets
Now that you’re small in size, the betting range has been dropped down to match your stature. Betting correctly is of the utmost importance and not just because gambling can leave you high and dry, but because Money Bee has much bigger wins than those we've talked about. These are linked to the bet you make, which is why we looked at the smallest turnaround.
When you bet the maximum amount of €50, that’s when you’ll be hitting the 50,000 coins mark when the wild appears in a group of five. That’s right, 50 big ones. A total like that isn’t often seen in a slot machine, and while it does come with huge risks, it’s nothing compared with the possibility of winning that bundle of cash. However you choose to decide your wager, you do so via the plus and minus icons.
Aside from the automatic spins, which explains itself rather nicely, there’s nothing left for you to do but play the game, leaving us without nothing else to teach you.
Money Bee Indeed!
Wow, just… what else is there to say. This looks like it’s going to be an average slot machine with no surprises and then BAM, money all over the place. And while that money comes at the cost of a steeper bet, we can’t help but find ourselves drawn to the danger and temptation of it all. Pray that we win.
