Beam Boys Slot review
As far as strange themes go, you will find few that match Beam Boys by Hacksaw Gaming. The slot, Hacksaw Gaming explains, is themed around cyborg cats that have partnered up with laser pointers. It’s a unique angle, but does the game offer anything other than its zany theme? Let’s find out in this Beam Boys slot review.
Beam Boys Theme and Design
Hacksaw Gaming’s slots have a very clear visual style. The company loves to have characters standing by the reel accompanying the action, as we have seen in titles like Le Bandit and Gronk’s Gems. They also enjoy a black-and-white/graffiti art style, which has been displayed in titles like RIP City and Chaos Crew.
All of these flourishes are on display in Beam Boys, which positions a barbed-wire bordered grid in the center of some sort of underground, black-and-white wasteland. One of the titular Beam Boys, a rather menacing-looking cyborg cat, stands to the side of the reels, bursting into life at different stages in the game.
On the whole, it’s another eye-catching design from the studio that gets a big thumbs-up from this reviewer.
How to Play Beam Boys
Beam Boys uses a six-by-four game grid with a ways-to-win mechanic. The slot has 4,096 ways to win active on each spin.
The math model for the game is interesting, with players being able to switch between Normal and Extreme volatility modes. In normal, players can expect more regular wins of smaller value, while the Extreme option has a much lower hit rate but can boast bigger returns.
The maximum win available in the game is a strong 12,500x, while the RTP sits at 96.35% when using Normal volatility and 96.26% at Extreme volatility. Both of these numbers are solid.
Beam Boys Bonus Features
Aside from the aforementioned Volatility Switch, there are a handful of other bonuses available in Beam Boys.
Wild Rows is activated if a Wild Laser Cat Symbol lands on reels 2-6. When it lands, the symbol shoots a laser across all positions to its left, turning them all Wild and recalculating any potential wins.
The main bonus is the Free Spins round. This is launched when you land three or more Scatter symbols. Three, four, five, or six Scatters triggers 5, 10, 20, or 40 spins, respectively. During the spins, there is an increased chance of Wild Laser Cat symbols landing.
There are also several Bonus Buy options available, depending on the player’s location and casino. The cheapest of these is the Bonus Hunt Feature Spins, which costs 5x your stake and makes it 10x more likely to trigger a bonus feature. The most expensive is 200x, which is the Narrow Spectrum Feature Spins for 200x, where at least one Wild Cat Laser Symbol is guaranteed to land.
Beam Boys Slot Verdict
Beam Boys is another fun, zany outing from Hacksaw Gaming. The slot’s design will immediately grab your attention, and you will want to stick around for the Volatility Switch and the 12,500x maximum win. The bonus features are also solid, with the Laser Cat Wilds providing plenty of big winning potential. Overall, this is a fun-feline-themed slice of slot action we are more than happy to recommend.
