Honey Gems

The Honey Gems online slot builds much of its appeal around a set of standout mechanics that give the beehive grid its rhythm. Here’s how these key elements work within the 61-cell layout.

The Honey Queen Free Spins round begins when four or more beehive Scatters land on the grid, awarding 6, 8, 10, or 12 spins depending on how many appear. During this feature, the queen bee places sticky Wild Multipliers on the reels, and these remain active for the entire sequence. Any winning cluster can set off the Sticky Respins mechanic, just as it does in the base game, and the multipliers stay fixed without resetting between spins.

The Wild Multiplier Symbol appears as a golden honeycomb carrying a 2x value. This symbol can land anywhere on the grid and becomes active when a winning cluster triggers Sticky Respins without a Wild already involved.

Whenever a Wild Multiplier appears during a winning cluster, the feature comes into play. The Wild Multiplier and every version of the winning symbol stay fixed on the grid while the other positions spin again. Any matching symbol landing anywhere on the board grants another respin, and an additional Wild does the same.

The sequence continues for as long as new symbols arrive. The Wild Multiplier begins at 2x and increases by 1 with each respin after the first. Any cluster touching a Wild Multiplier receives that value, and clusters connected to multiple Wild Multipliers benefit from their combined effect.

Honey Gems is available to try in free play on LeoVegas New Zealand. You can also switch to real-money play whenever you prefer, with both options working smoothly across mobile pokies and desktop.

Honey Gems uses cluster wins instead of paylines. A win forms when five or more matching symbols connect horizontally or vertically across the 61-cell honeycomb grid. The reels follow a layered 1-2-3-4-5-4-5-4-5-4-5-4-5-4-3-2-1 pattern, creating a spacious board where clusters can grow across multiple sections of the layout.



Larger clusters increase the overall return, and the values below reflect the amounts shown for clusters of 45 or more in the game’s information panel.

Honey Gems is a 2023 release from PlayTech, shaped around a bright beehive theme with an overall cosy feel. The game sits on a floating wooden frame that holds the hexagonal grid, set against a clear blue sky with drifting clouds and a field of daisies below. Symbols stand out sharply on the board, creating a lively mix of shapes and colours.



The presentation stays cheerful yet tranquil throughout, with smooth movements on each drop and gentle sound effects complementing the cluster play. Calm ambient music plays in the background, accompanied by the occasional sounds of nature.
