Beam Boys Slot

Beam Boys Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Beam Boys slot is played on a 6×4 reel setup and has 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by matching at least 3 symbols from left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel.

Stakes range from just 10p up to £100 per spin. Catering to all bankrolls, simply use the arrows next to the bet value to change your total stake. Non-UK players also have the option to choose autoplay and select up to 1,000 autospins as well as loss limits and single win limits for them.

The Beam Boys RTP is 96.35%, which is well above the industry average for online slots in the UK. It’s a little under 96% at the time of writing. This is the RTP rate in normal mode. If you increase the volatility, it drops to 96.26%. But it’s important to note that there are other RTP versions available for casinos to utilise – 94.24% and 92.3%. There is an 88.25% version but this is only available in Germany. You won’t see this one at UK online casinos.

In terms of volatility, you’ve got 2 options and can choose which one you play by using the switch beside the reels. The choices are Extreme or Normal. Normal mode (2/5) will mean you will typically win smaller but more often. Extreme (5/5) mode means that you will typically win bigger but a lot less frequently.

The maximum win is 12,500 x your total stake. This is best achieved in the Free Spins feature as there is no upper limit on the number of free spins you could get.

Theme: pack your safety goggles

The black and white cat is back, but this time it’s surrounded by blue and orange neon to brighten up your screen.  I can’t tell whether it’s the same cat from RIP City but it could be. The visuals are very similar. It also reminds me of Chaos Crew 2 in the way it looks. I like the way the cat to the right of the reels interacts with the reels when the Laser Cat symbol lands.

In terms of audio, it has an eerie sound as you spin the reels, although it’s quite minimal if that makes sense. The sound effects as you spin away add to the overall appeal, but there’s nothing really to write home about in terms of the soundtrack.

On the reels, the A-10 Royals make up the lower-paying symbols. These are joined by higher-paying rats, birds, fish, hares and snakes. The snake symbol is the most rewarding, paying 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 x your total stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination. The Wild is the Cat Laser symbol, which substitutes for all symbols and pays 5 x bet if 6 land in combination.

Released on the 1st of February 2024, the Beam Boys mobile slot is available to play on all devices including mobiles, laptops, PCs and tablets. The 6×4 format works particularly well on iOS or Android smartphones, especially in portrait mode.

Beam Boys Bonus Features

There are 4 bonus features to enjoy here. We’ve already mentioned the volatility switch above, but you’ve also got Wild Rows and an exciting Free Spins feature. Non-UK players can buy the features too. Read on as we explain how everything works, starting with the Wild Rows.

Wild Rows

Wild Laser Cat symbols can land on reels 2-6. When one does land, it will shoot a laser beam to the left across all positions on the same row. All positions that get covered by this symbol or the leader beam will become Wilds that substitute for all paying symbols.

Free Spins feature

Land 3 or more FS Scatters in the base game to trigger this bonus feature. Here’s how many free spins you can get depending on how many FS Scatters trigger the feature:

• 3 FS Scatters = 5 Free Spins
• 4 FS Scatters = 10 Free Spins
• 5 FS Scatters = 20 Free Spins
• 6 FS Scatters = 40 Free Spins

There’s nothing complicated to understand here. Simply spin away until your free spins run out. During the bonus round, the chances of landing Wild Laser Cat symbols are increased compared to the base game.

Bonus Buy feature

Non-UK players have the chance to buy the following features in the game:

Beam Boys Verdict: another solid Hacksaw release

Beam Boys Slot

Hacksaw has put together a familiar bunch of elements to create a fun slot that offers generous payouts and the option to choose your volatility level, thus catering to various players.

Pros

• 12,500 x bet max wins
• Unlimited free spins
• Choice of 2 volatility levels

Cons

• Familiar gameplay and visuals
• Could have done with an extra bonus feature

I can’t argue that it’s not another good slot from Hacksaw because it is. The gameplay is fun, there are unlimited free spins up for grabs, the RTP rate is above average and the max win is generous enough at 12,500 x bet. But what I would have loved to see was a bit more uniqueness. They’ve stuck to what they know best with the gameplay and the visuals, which isn’t a bad thing by any means. But it’s not enough for me to give it a rating higher than 3.6/5. Something extra would have propelled this even higher.

I like the way the Laser Cat symbol blasts a beam from right to left to convert symbols in Wilds. That’s a nice way to potentially boost wins. I also like that I had a choice of volatility. Overall, I enjoyed testing this one thoroughly and I was able to land the Free Spins feature quite a few times, which was nice to see. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea. but everything Hacksaw has included here, it’s done with thought and it’s been done well.
