I was speaking to Push Gaming last week and was given their game info for the last 6 months.
Wild swarm makes over 45% of their entire revenue. This is all their games combined and any other interests they have (tables etc). 45%. Thats unheard of for a single slot really.
Advice – If you are chasing the swarm on lower stakes this does work out to be, in the long run, a net loss. The base game RTP drops when the hive is full, so your wins will be weighted to be lower while the RTP is drawn into the bee collection.
You can build the hive on an stake and the game will pay at 96.x% RTP. So play it at 20p, play it at normal, whatever you prefer. But when its full you have to remember that if you raise the bet to £1, £2, £4 or higher the base will not pay well, but when the hive lands it will account for that drop in RTP.
So only chase this if you are fully aware this game can take thousands from you, same as any high variance slot, but know that unless you increase the stakes at the right time, you will be playing at negative EV.
