Slot Wars: Sticky Bees VS Jewel Rush

This episode of Slot Wars features two Pragmatic Play releases - Sticky Bees and Jewel Rush. Just as always when Pragmatic is involved, both games have highly engaging gameplays that can produce massive wins! 

Let’s see which slot will prevail in this round of Slot Wars! 

The bee theme is not very often seen in the iGaming scene which makes it a nice refreshment in the sea of pirates and Egyptian-themed games. However, its theme is just one of many reasons Sticky Bees slot is such a big hit with players. With 7x7 grid with cluster pays mechanic, Sticky Bees slot also sticks out for is huge winning potential of 10,000x while its RTP sits comfortably at 96.06%.

When it comes to Jewel Rush, its theme is not unique whatsoever but, based on another highly popular game by Pragmatic Play - Sugar Rush, players feel a certain familiarity when spinning its reels. However, at 5,000x, its winning potential is significantly lower than the competitors but it does feature a higher RTP of 96.47%.   

In terms of bonus features, Sticky Bees truly stands out with its marked positions and Super Wilds. Between 12 and 19 positions on the grid are marked on each spin and when a Super Wild lands on any of it, the position gets activated. So, when the symbol lands on the activated marked position, it turns into Wild which significantly increases the player's chances of creating a winning combo. Positions are activated for the entire duration of the spin tumble.

However, Sticky Wilds also have the Free Spins bonus round. During this additional gaming session, the number of marked positions is bumped up and it goes from 16 to 19. They are active on very free spin but what makes the whole playing experience even more exciting is 1 - 3 Super Wilds which are guaranteed to land on each free spin. 

Jewel Rush slot comes with random multipliers in both base and bonus gameplay. In the base game, the 2x multiplier can be attached to the random symbols but given the fact that multipliers multiply each other when part of the same cluster win, their total value can reach 256x which is pretty impressive and highly rewarding. 

In free spins, the 4x random multiplier is added to the mix and even though the maximum multipliers can achieve stays at 256x, the chance of the multipliers hitting is much higher than in the base game. This means the wins could be more frequent and quite bigger.       

Unsurprisingly, both games have outstanding visuals. After all, these are Pragmatic Play slots and this studio has been at the top of their game in pretty much every department of iGaming for years now. And even though both Sticky Bees and Jewel Rush have uplifting themes, use bright colors, and superb animations, a slight advantage goes to Sticky Bess.    

Compared to Jewel Rush, Sticky Bees is simply sharper. Colors seem more vivid and animations more impressive. So, Sticky Bees is taking the 3 round home! 

Both Sticky Bees and Jewel Rush can hold their own with impressive and very rewarding features but Sticky Bees is finishing the Slot Wars episode as a winner. From significantly larger winning potential to very engaging and immersive bonus features and animations, Sticky Bees is a clear winner!
