Wild Swarm 2 Demo & Slot Review

Wild Swarm 2 is Push Gaming’s 2024 sequel built around a five-level Hive that collects Worker and Queen Bees before Swarm Mode can trigger; the trade-off is patience versus direct access through Chests or one of four Bonus Buys where available.

Wild Swarm 2

3.7 out of 5

Wild Swarm 2 is a high-volatility video slot from Push Gaming, released on 29 February 2024 as the sequel to Wild Swarm. The studio page describes collectable Worker and Queen Bees, the Chest Feature with bet multipliers from 2× to 1,000×, Free Spins with Sticky Wilds and reel multipliers, Swarm Mode, a highest observed win of 10,000× and RTP 96.67% or 94.67%.

This card follows that studio page, the attached demo paytable and rules frames, and published rule copies for the Bonus Buys. It is not a report of played cash sessions.

Wild Swarm 2 review overview

5×4 grid and 20 fixed lines

Wild Swarm 2 pays left to right on 20 fixed lines across five reels and four rows. Most symbols need three matches; the bee character and honey dollar pay from two. Wild Honey substitutes for paying symbols but not for the Hive Scatter or Chest. The attached paytable at a 0.50 fun bet shows five bee characters at 15.00, which is 30× the stake; demo cells at that bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Collectable Bees and the Hive

When a Bee lands it flies into the Hive and leaves Wild Honey behind. A Worker Bee adds 1 segment and a Queen Bee 5. Reaching level 5 does not start Swarm Mode by itself: a later Bee may explode the Hive, and the Queen Bee has a higher chance of doing so.

Who Wild Swarm 2 suits

Wild Swarm 2 suits readers who like visible accumulation, persistent bonus Wilds and a super-bonus target that takes time to reach. It is less suited to anyone who wants a short, guaranteed path into the bonus or dislikes expensive direct-entry options.

Best for

  • Players who like meter-building toward a super bonus
  • Readers comparing the sequel’s Queen Bees and reel multipliers with Wild Swarm
  • Anyone checking the 96.67% and 94.67% builds against the studio page

Not ideal for

  • Players who expect a full Hive to trigger Swarm Mode automatically
  • Anyone treating a 332× Bonus Buy as low-risk
  • Readers assuming every copy runs at 96.67% RTP

How Wild Swarm 2 rules and features work

Chest Feature

A Chest can appear in every mode and offers five hidden prizes. In the base game they include bet multipliers from 2× to 1,000×, Free Spins with 3 to 5 Sticky Wilds, a Swarm Boost for the Hive and Instant Swarm Mode. Inside Free Spins and Swarm Mode, Chests award bet multipliers, 1 to 6 Extra Spins or a Sticky Wilds Reel.

Free Spins

Three, four or five Hive Scatters award 7, 8 or 10 spins with 3, 4 or 5 Sticky Wilds. Sticky Wilds stay until the feature ends. Reels 2 and 4 carry 2× and 4×; filling one with Sticky Wilds applies its multiplier to each Wild below and adds one Extra Spin.

Swarm Mode and Bonus Buy

Swarm Mode starts with 10 spins, reel multipliers of 2×, 3×, 4×, 6× and 8×, and a guaranteed Sticky Wild stack on a random reel. Where offered, published rule copies list Bonus Buys at 74×, 139× and 332× for the three Free Spins packages, plus a random package at 125×, with mode RTPs from 96.83% to 96.88% on the high-RTP build.

How to play Wild Swarm 2 responsibly

Set money and time limits before spinning or using a Bonus Buy. Count every purchase from 74× to 332× at its full price against your ceiling, do not extend play because the Hive is near level 5, and confirm the active RTP on the loading screen.

  1. Check the RTP build first

    Push Gaming lists 96.67% and 94.67% as separate configurations. Confirm which figure the loading screen or game panel shows.

  2. Price Bonus Buys against your ceiling

    One five-Scatter purchase costs 332 base bets before the result is known. Set a purchase limit in advance.

  3. A full Hive is not a due bonus

    Level 5 only gives later Bees a chance to explode the Hive. Keep your time limit even when the meter looks close.

Symbols and Paytable

Regular symbols pay on 20 lines from the leftmost reel; the bee character and honey dollar pay from two. Values below come from the attached paytable at a 0.50 fun bet and are shown as multiples of that stake. Bees, Hive Scatter and Chest follow separate rules.

Wild Honey

Substitutes for paying symbols but not the Hive Scatter or Chest, and shares the top paytable row with the bee character. Bees leave Wild Honey behind when they fly to the Hive.

Bee character

Top paying symbol and one of two that pay from two on a line. Values come from the paytable at the 0.50 fun demo bet and are stake-linked preview figures.

Honey dollar

Pays like the bee character, from two on a line. Paytable cells at the 0.50 fun demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Crown

Third premium on the 20-line paytable. Values at the 0.50 fun demo bet are stake-linked preview figures.

Honey jar

Top of the mid symbols below the crown.

White flower

Middle flower symbol on the 20-line paytable.

Purple flower

Lowest of the mid symbols above the card ranks.

Ace

Highest wooden card rank.

King

Wooden card rank below the ace.

Queen

Wooden card rank below the king.

Wild Swarm 2 RTP, volatility and maximum win

Push Gaming’s Wild Swarm 2 page lists two RTP configurations, 96.67% and 94.67%, with high volatility and a 10,000× highest observed win. They are separate builds rather than a continuous range, so this card stores 96.67% as the displayed RTP and top of the span and 94.67% as the low end. Published rule copies add Bonus Buy figures of 96.83%, 96.88% and 96.87% for the three Free Spins packages on the high-RTP build. RTP is a long-run configuration value, not a session forecast; confirm the active figure on the loading screen.

How to interpret the numbers

Key point 1

A level-5 Hive without a Bee that explodes it is progress, not a triggered Swarm Mode.

Key point 2

Read paytable amounts as values at the 0.50 fun bet shown, not as fixed cash prizes.

Key point 3

A 94.67% build is a different configuration from 96.67%. Check the loading screen for the version you opened.

Wild Swarm 2 compared with other games

The original Wild Swarm shares the bees, Hive and Chests, but Wild Swarm 2 adds Queen Bees worth five segments and explicit reel multipliers in both bonuses. Compare how the Hive fills and explodes, which reels carry multipliers, the four Bonus Buy prices and which RTP build loads before treating another bee card as the same rulebook.

Wild Swarm 2 compared with other games
Game Return / max win Volatility Bonus fit Watch out for
Wild Swarm 2 94.67%–96.67% / 10,000× High Free Spins multiply filled reels 2 and 4; Swarm Mode puts multipliers from 2× to 8× above every reel. Shared bee art does not transfer Hive rules, Bonus Buy prices or the 96.67% and 94.67% RTP settings between cards.
Bison Battle 94.18%–96.40% / 50,000× High Green Valley stacks multipliers on sticky Wilds; Ice Park locks coins and lets Red Bisons multiply them on their row. Shared canyon or wildlife art does not transfer the same-row clash rule, Bonus Buy prices or the 96.40% and 94.18% RTP settings between cards.
3 Buzzing Wilds 94.05%–96.03% / 5,000× High Random, Expanding and Surrounding sticky Wild free-spin modes Shared studio branding does not copy this card’s RTP or 5000× ceiling.
