Beetle Frenzy
Not all Net Entertainment video slots are complex, boasting five reels and tons of paylines, because many slot players prefer simpler games. Beetle Frenzy is a down-to-earth, classic 9-reel, 5-line slot that looks a lot like an old-school video arcade machine. Don’t let its simple appearance fool you, however—unlike many basic three-reel slots, this one is loaded with multiple cool features, bonus games and the chance to win some outrageously high jackpots . Play it on most laptop or desktop operating systems—including Windows, Mac, and Linux—and give yourself a chance to win up to 25,000 at once.
Theme
Playing Beetle Frenzy is like a trip to a garden straight out of a 1980’s coloring book, with cartoon-styled graphics featuring several things you’d find out in the backyard. Symbols include flowers in pink, blue, and orange, a lady bug, a milkweed bug, a stink bug, a beetle and some purple mushrooms. The bugs’ eyes move around whenever a combination is made, and the cheery sounds include a bouncy tune that plays with every spin. You also hear the electric buzz of a bug zapper from time to time during play. Beetle Frenzy is Net Entertainment’s gift to those who love uncomplicated games with a classic appearance and easy-to-play layout.
Features
The Wild symbol features a black and yellow firefly that lights up whenever it’s activated and the Wild substitutes for any symbol. The Scatter symbol is a golden apple, and the number on any given spin determines how much the winnings are multiplied: anywhere from x2 for two golden apples to x400 for eight.
Huge jackpot payouts are yours when you fill the screen with nine of any one item. For instance, nine assorted insects appearing at once activates the smallest of the jackpots, which still offers a generous 15x multiplier. The jackpots increase by fifties and hundreds until you reach the biggest—win a full 500x multiplier when nine blue flowers appear at once on your screen.
Bonus
Three fun bonus games are yours when you play Beetle Frenzy. The Bug Collector Game appears when you land on three glass bug jars on one bet line. That in turn activates a new screen picturing nine bug jars; your job is to pick them one at a time to see the corresponding cash prize. But beware of the X symbol—choose that, and the Bug Collector Game is over.
Play the Flower Frenzy Bonus game whenever you get three same-color flower symbols on one bet line. This pops up a new screen with a 2-by-2 reel surrounded by a border of smaller symbols. Press Spin to reveal four new symbols, each worth a pre-designated cash prize. When you spin, a light travels around the border of symbols; if it lands on a match, you win that bonus. If it lands on an X, the game is over.
Finally, the Lucky Spin bonus feature appears more rarely, but is activated by getting the same symbol on the four corners or in the middle square on each of the four sides. This bonus grants you one extra spin on the middle reel for each activating combination.
Limits
Coin values of .10, .20, .50, 1.00 and 5.00 couple with 5 bet levels to create a range of betting possibilities for each spin. The maximum bet is 5.00 per line, so on any given round your total maximum can add up to 25.00. This game also features Net Entertainment’s Advanced Autoplay feature which allows you to autoplay 10 to 1000 rounds and program the game on when you prefer it to stop.
Play
Coins, current bet and wins are clearly displayed at the top of the game, while the coin level, bet level and spin buttons are on a control panel near the bottom. Unlike games with more complicated bet line designs, it’s easy to tell when a combination might be yours, and this anticipation adds to the fun of Beetle Frenzy.
Compatibility
Net Entertainment makes it easy to enjoy Beetle Frenzy on your preferred operating system. It’s fully compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac on your desktop or laptop computer.
