Wild Swarm review
Bees are the engine of this Push Gaming release. The studio sets it in a forest on a 5x4 grid with 20 winlines, and the bees you collect feed a hive that can tip the game into swarm mode, a state built around sticky wilds. A chest opens a pick screen and hive scatters lead to free spins.
Forest board, fixed lines
Wins are counted on 20 fixed winlines across five reels and four rows, a classic line structure rather than a pay-anywhere grid. The full paytable and the symbol list are not part of the data we hold, because Push Gaming's rules page is not in our pack, so this review sticks to what the studio's own game page describes.
What that page makes clear is the order of importance. The base spins exist to collect bees and land the special symbols; the sticky wilds that carry most of the upside appear in the extras.
Three ways into the sticky wilds
Every extra in Wild Swarm ends in the same place: wilds that stay on the reels. The routes differ.
Hive free spins
Three or more hive symbols start the free spins, and the studio puts the award at up to 15 spins. During the round, wilds become sticky, so a wild that lands holds its position for the remaining spins. Our data does not say how many spins each hive count gives or whether the round can be retriggered.
Chest pick
A chest symbol opens a pick screen where prizes sit hidden until chosen. According to the studio, they include free spins, a swarm boost and direct entry into swarm mode, so several picks feed straight into the game's other extras instead of paying a separate fixed amount.
Swarm mode
Collected bees boost the hive, and a fuller hive improves the odds that swarm mode starts. The studio describes this mode as running with endless sticky wilds and points to it as the source of the biggest results. The number of bees needed and the length of the mode are not given in our material.
Two RTP settings, two price tags
Two versions are on record. At 97.03% the house edge is 2.97%, roughly $29.70 kept per $1,000 wagered over a long run. At 94.67% the edge is 5.33%, or about $53.30 per $1,000. For 100 spins at $1, that is $2.97 against $5.33 on average; at $5 a spin, $14.85 against $26.65. The studio itself notes that the RTP can vary by operator and is shown in the game's own panel and loading screen, which is worth checking before a session.
Neither a volatility rating nor a max win is published in our data.
The sequel and close neighbours
Wild Swarm 2 is the only follow-up in our catalogue and lists a 96.67% RTP, below the original's best version. Among games with similar numbers, Jammin' Jars shows 96.83% and Razor Shark 96.7%; none of them has a volatility label in our records.
Pros
- Sticky wilds in both the free spins and swarm mode
- A chest pick that can lead into the other extras
- Free official demo available
Cons
- A 94.67% version also exists, which almost doubles the cost per $1,000
- No volatility rating or max win is published
- Detailed rules are not available, so trigger odds and spin counts per scatter are unknown
Verdict
Wild Swarm gives a clear structure: line wins in the base game, then sticky wilds in free spins or in a swarm mode fed by collected bees. Its best RTP is 97.03%, but a 94.67% version is also in circulation, and no volatility rating is published. Check which version is loaded, try the free demo, and treat every session as paid entertainment.
