Wild Swarm 2 review
Push Gaming sends players back to the hive in Wild Swarm 2. Bees fill a meter, the meter explodes into Swarm Mode, and sticky wilds build up under reel multipliers along the way. Hidden chests add another layer in the base game and both bonuses. It is a feature-heavy design, so the rules matter more than the theme. The catalogue records two RTP versions, 96.67% and 94.67%, and does not publish volatility or max win.
How the Hive fills
In the base game, bee symbols fill the Hive and leave Wild Honey symbols behind. A Worker Bee adds one segment to the Hive meter, while a Queen Bee adds five. When the Hive reaches level five, any bee symbol may set off an explosion that starts Swarm Mode, and the Queen Bee is more likely to be the one that does it.
Wild Honey and Sticky Wild symbols substitute for paying symbols, with two exceptions: the Scatter and the Chest. Sticky Wilds appear only in the free games and in Swarm Mode, and they stay until the feature ends.
Free spins from the Hive scatter
The Hive symbol is the scatter. Three or more anywhere on the reels trigger free spins, and the count sets both the spins and the sticky wilds you start with. Three Hives give seven spins with three Sticky Wilds, four give eight spins with four, and five give 10 spins with five.
Reel multipliers sit above reels two and four, worth 2x and 4x. Filling a whole reel with Sticky Wilds applies that reel's multiplier to every Sticky Wild below it, and also awards one extra spin. Sticky Wild multipliers accumulate.
Swarm Mode and the chest
Two features are worth treating separately, because they can start from several places.
Swarm Mode
Triggered by a Hive explosion or a chest prize, it begins with 10 automatic free spins. Reel multipliers are set above four reels: 2x on reel one, 3x on reel two, 6x on reel four and 8x on reel five. A stack of Sticky Wilds is placed on a random reel before the first spin.
Chest feature
It can be triggered in the base game, the free spins and Swarm Mode, and you choose from five hidden chest prizes. In the base game they include bet multipliers from 2x to 1000x, free spins with three to five Sticky Wilds, a Swarm Boost that raises the Hive level, and Instant Swarm Mode. In the bonuses the prizes are bet multipliers, Extra Spins worth one to six, and a Sticky Wilds Reel.
Two RTP versions
The catalogue lists 96.67% and 94.67%, with house edges of 3.33% and 5.33%. The studio notes that the RTP can differ between operators and is shown in the game's information panel and loading screen. The top version costs about $33.30 per $1,000 wagered and the lower one about $53.30.
In 100-spin sessions, the top version costs $0.67 at $0.20 a spin, $3.33 at $1 and $16.65 at $5, which is $500 wagered. The lower version costs $1.07, $5.33 and $26.65 for the same sessions. Volatility and max win are not published.
The original and nearby games
The series has one earlier game, Wild Swarm, listed at 97.03%. Among similar titles, Joker Troupe is at 96.68%, Razor Shark at 96.7%, Mystery Museum at 96.58%, Fat Drac at 96.57%, Razor Returns at 96.55% and Jammin' Jars at 96.83%.

- Sticky Wilds persist and accumulate under reel multipliers

Verdict
Wild Swarm 2 is a busy game built on a Hive meter, Sticky Wilds under reel multipliers, Swarm Mode and a hidden-chest pick. The best-case RTP is 96.67%, but a 94.67% version is on record, and the difference is about $20 per $1,000 wagered. Volatility is not published. Check which version an operator shows, and use the free demo to learn how the Hive, chests and Swarm Mode connect.
