Beam Boys slot review

A futuristic setting on six reels

There are no paylines in this one. A win forms when matching symbols land on neighboring reels, from the left, and the 4,096 count covers every route those symbols can take across the 6-reel grid.

Symbol artwork and payout values are not in our records, so we skip them. Fans of the studio can also look at Chaos Crew II and Feel the Beat in the same catalogue.

Putting 96.35% RTP next to medium volatility

A 96.35% return leaves a house edge of 3.65% over a vast number of spins, a bit narrower than the 4% of a 96% game. Over one evening the actual outcome can land well away from that figure in either direction. Operators sometimes pick a lower setting, so confirm it in the game's info panel.

Medium volatility means the mix of win sizes sits between the steady-and-small and rare-and-large extremes. Dry patches still occur. The volatility guide and RTP guide go deeper.

Free spins, wilds and buying the bonus

Wilds fill in for other symbols, and free spins add extra rounds. The buy option lets you pay up front to jump into a bonus, though the price is not given in our records. It does not alter the RTP or the odds of any result, and a short string of purchases can drain a modest budget.

Who it suits

Adults who like a sci-fi look and a middle-of-the-road swing profile will find it a fair match. Agree on a stake and a loss limit before you open it, and think twice about the buy button. Find more Hacksaw Gaming slots here.
