Pragmatic Play trades its usual settings for a hive in 3 Buzzing Wilds, a five-reel, four-row game built around three separate wild types that each feed into their own free spins mode. The insects on screen are drawn soft and rounded rather than lifelike, closer to toy characters than anything you'd want to swat, and the 20 fixed paylines sit under a volatility rating of 5 out of 5 - as high as the studio's scale goes.

Three wild variants can appear anywhere in the base game. A Random Wild simply drops onto an open position; an Expanding Wild stretches out to cover the whole reel it lands on; and a Surrounding Wild turns every symbol next to it into an additional wild. Any of the three substitutes for everything except the beehive scatter, and five wilds on a line pay 50x the stake. Away from the wilds, the paytable runs from J-A card ranks at the low end up to a butterfly, caterpillar, ladybug and bee at the top, worth 2.5x-4x and 10x-50x the bet respectively for a full line of five.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 beehive scatters pays out directly - 2x, 10x or 50x the stake - and also opens 3 Buzzing Wilds' free spins round, where players choose which of the three wild types carries into the bonus. Random Wilds free spins run for 10 rounds with wilds that stay put once added; Expanding Wilds free spins last 8 rounds with sticky full-reel wilds; and Surrounding Wilds free spins give 6 rounds where the wild and everything it converts around it remains locked in place until the feature ends. None of the three can be retriggered once started, and a buy option lets players jump straight into the round for 100x the bet, still with a choice of all three variants.

Three RTP configurations are available, topping out at 96.03%, dropping to 95.01% or 94.05% on the lower settings; buying the feature nudges the top return down slightly. Bets run from 0.20 to 100, the maximum win is 5,000x, and base game wins land roughly once every four spins, giving 3 Buzzing Wilds' high volatility rating a fairly steady base game to sit on top of.
