Bonus Beans Slot Review

Bonus Beans is an unusual video slot from Push Gaming. Forgoing the classic layout, cluster wins are paid out in a grid of 4×5 symbols. Multiple clusters may pay out on every ‘spin’, but it has to be a minimum of 3 adjacent matching symbols for a payout to occur. You may be able to play Bonus Beans at online casinos such as Unibet, CasinoHeroes or Betser Casino.

Bonus Beans is not your typical slot and if you wanted to come up with some sort of theme, it would be slightly difficult. Somehow the slot is based on the popular fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk, though Jack is missing and you kind of only get three magical means in this game, which is what it’s all about anyways. The slot is colourful, bright and reminds us very much of mobile games such as Candy Crush. The principle is the same, too. Line up three or more symbols horizontally or vertically and they pop out of existence, leaving us with a win. As such there are no set paylines either. We get cluster wins, requiring 3 to 20 adjacent symbols to match up.

Most symbols are basic and pay out pretty much the same. Colourful shapes such as purple triangles or blue squares. There are no wilds or scatters either. But there are beans: a pink one, a green one and a blue one.

They show up every once in a while, and they come with different bonus features. They are, after all, the bonus beans that give this game its title. The pink bean comes with a 2x multiplier that is applied to all wins on that particular spin. Since more than one win is possible on a spin, this could pay out nicely. Also, more than one bean may show up during a spin and each will add to the bonuses applied on this spin.

The blue bean brings us 2 free spins. Get more than one and you may end up with 4 or even 6 free spins. Finally, the green bean awards a mystery instant cash prize.

In order to keeps tabs on which means you’ve collected on a given spin, the meter on the right-hand side will show you the number of beans and which kind you received.

The theoretical RTP (return to player) for Bonus Beans is 96.50%, which is just above average and therefore decent value. As long as the beans keep coming in this slot, the game is varied enough to keep things interesting. A combination or multiple beans are especially interesting, but don’t count on them showing up frequently. The base game plays like a round of Candy Crush or similar games and it gets a little one-sided after a while. Still, Bonus Beans is not your usual slot game and if you are looking for something different, then you mind want to check it out as it does provide some entertainment. Keep in mind, however, that not all casinos equipped with Push Gaming slots will feature this game as well. You may even find it under ‘Other Games’ here and there, because it’s not your typical slot.
