How 3 Buzzing Wilds rules and features work

Bonus features

Three or more beehive Scatters open free spins and you pick Random Wilds (10 spins), Expanding Wilds (8 spins) or Surrounding Wilds (6 spins). Sticky Wilds from the chosen mode stay until the round ends. Modes cannot retrigger. Where enabled, Feature Buy costs 100× the stake.

How to play 3 Buzzing Wilds responsibly

Set a money limit and a time limit before spinning. Count every feature cost against that budget immediately and do not raise stakes after a quiet stretch.

  1. Budget feature costs

    Price each optional purchase or ante as a multiple of the total bet before confirming.

  2. Read one paid spin

    Cascades or respins belong to the same stake.

  3. Check the RTP panel

    Confirm the active build before treating the catalogue figure as settled.
