How To Play Buggin Mobile Slot
Buggin is a 7×7-row grid slot with cluster pays and avalanching wins. You can trigger 5 feature wilds through a progress meter, catch big symbols, drops, and a free spin bonus – all with the potential to win a 10,000x bet.
There’s plenty of bugs in this Buggin slot machine as you spin ladybird, snail, beatle, and criket. 5 or more symbols touching will create a cluster, explode the symbols, and leave behind a wild. This chain reaction of wins fills the meter up at the top. Once full, you can trigger one of 5 wild features.
And that’s just the base game; the free spins are even more interesting because the wild symbols are sticky. Why is that interesting? Whether in the free spins or the base game, wild in winning clusters will multiply each other.
The more wild wins you get, the bigger the multiplier, the closer you get to that top win.
Is the Bugging slot any good?
The problems are obvious:
- The paytable makes you work for your money. You’ll need a cluster of 8 or 10 symbol wins to get anything worth shouting about.
- The Buggin RTP is set at a low 94%
This is standard for high-variance Elk games; look at Gritty Kitty of Nitropolis or Cygnus 3 slot game.
If you are a fan of this slot provider, you won’t mind, mostly because the features, games and wins are good enough to overlook our standard rule that all slots should be at least 96% or over.
Whether you enjoy this Buggin slot depends greatly on whether you catch those wild features and free drops within 100 spins.
The Wild Features and the Wild Multipliers
The Wild features are fun: it’s great to see mega symbols of 3×3 covering the reel or watch as symbols upgrade and wilds are stretched all over the reels.
But the only real thing that matters is those wild multipliers. They make or break your experience of this Buggin slot machine. And you are simply more likely to get big multipliers during the free spin bonus round.
Why? Because those sticky wilds will increase in numbers and multiply each other from every win. It’s a real rollercoaster ride that can’t be beaten.
That said, it won’t be for everyone, especially anyone looking for a simpler game with less gamefied featured. Still, grid slots fans must add Buggin to their must-play casino slots list.
