The style of  The Sting slot is quite unique compared to many other slots. By this I mean the layout and the way in which the ‘reels’ actually spin. The entire page looks like one giant honeycomb and when you hit spin, the ‘reels’ (each individual section of the honeycomb) spins around to reveal a new symbol.

THE STING has been developed by PARTY GAMING and is clearly very creative. There are no reels as such but for the purpose of the review, we can refer to them as reels. To win from this slot, you will need to get a number of matching symbols grouped (or linked) together, which can stretch right the way across the screen, and in any direction.

The symbols include numbers 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, as well as Bees, Flowers, Honey Pots, Bee Hives, HONEY STICK WILDS, and ‘THE STING’ SCATTERS. If you don’t like flying bugs, it’s advisable to turn the sound down because you will occasionally see and hear bumblebees flying across the screen with quite realistic sound effects.

To trigger the FREE SPINS feature, you will need three or more of the scattered STING LOGO’S to appear anywhere on the reels. The free spins round cannot be re-triggered. Symbols directly beneath the HONEY STICK WILD will be turned wild when the honey stick drips downwards.

Any wild symbols that were created from the dripping honey stick will only substitute for one of the symbols in a group. If more appear in a group, the highest payout symbol will be paid.

Any group wins are multiplied by your total stake. This is a progressive slot that has a massive jackpot prize. You can only be eligible to win this by playing for real cash. You don’t have to be playing with the maximum stake, but it does state that the larger your stake is, the more chance you have of winning – figure that one out?

The jackpot feature is a picking round. You get to choose 6 out of the 9 symbols to reveal hidden ‘$’ signs. Each one will award a different level of the jackpot payout structure. The levels are: 1 ‘$’ sign awards the GOLD BLITZ JACKPOT, 2 ‘$’ signs awards the GOLD QUICK JACKPOT, 3 ‘$’ signs awards the GOLD SUPER JACKPOT, and 4 ‘$’ signs awards the GOLD MEGA JACKPOT.

This slot is certainly unique and fun to play on. It offers something different in terms of style and layout and the different combinations and ways of winning. This is definitely a highly recommended, modern slot.
