Buggin is a 7×7-row grid slot with cluster pays and avalanching wins. You can trigger 5 feature wilds through a progress meter, catch big symbols, drops, and a free spin bonus – all with the potential to win a 10,000x bet.
There’s plenty of bugs in this Buggin slot machine as you spin ladybird, snail, beatle, and criket. 5 or more symbols touching will create a cluster, explode the symbols, and leave behind a wild. This chain reaction of wins fills the meter up at the top. Once full, you can trigger one of 5 wild features.
And that’s just the base game; the free spins are even more interesting because the wild symbols are sticky. Why is that interesting? Whether in the free spins or the base game, wild in winning clusters will multiply each other.
The more wild wins you get, the bigger the multiplier, the closer you get to that top win.
The problems are obvious:
This is standard for high-variance Elk games; look at Gritty Kitty of Nitropolis or Cygnus 3 slot game.
If you are a fan of this slot provider, you won’t mind, mostly because the features, games and wins are good enough to overlook our standard rule that all slots should be at least 96% or over.
Whether you enjoy this Buggin slot depends greatly on whether you catch those wild features and free drops within 100 spins.
The Wild features are fun: it’s great to see mega symbols of 3×3 covering the reel or watch as symbols upgrade and wilds are stretched all over the reels.
But the only real thing that matters is those wild multipliers. They make or break your experience of this Buggin slot machine. And you are simply more likely to get big multipliers during the free spin bonus round.
Why? Because those sticky wilds will increase in numbers and multiply each other from every win. It’s a real rollercoaster ride that can’t be beaten.
That said, it won’t be for everyone, especially anyone looking for a simpler game with less gamefied featured. Still, grid slots fans must add Buggin to their must-play casino slots list.

Cluster Pays and Wilds: When 5 or more symbols touch horizontally or vertically, you create a cluster win. Those symbols now disappear, leaving behind a wild symbol. More symbols now fall from the top. Wild substitutes for all other symbols.
Mega Symbols: Any paying symbol can appear as a 1x1, 2x2, or 3x3 mega size.
Feature Wilds: Each cluster win adds to the progress meter at the top of the reel. Once it's full, it triggers different Feature Wild symbols:
You can unlock the locked shield to trigger a Wild Redrop with prefilled Feature Wilds. Multiple wild symbols in a winning cluster will also merge into multiplier wild.
Free Spins: 3 bonus symbols trigger the bonus game where you'll get 7 free drops. Wild Symbols are sticky between free drops, allowing for bigger multipliers. 2 bonus and 1 super bonus symbol trigger the super bonus game, where the free drops start with a refill of the max number of unlocked Feature Wilds so far.
You, too, will be buggin if you don't at least try this Buggin slot online or on your favourite mobile casino.
Elk Gaming studios have created better slots, but there are so many features and fun surprises that we think this deserves a try.
Buggin slot is a brilliant grid game, despite the low RTP of 94%, which is about the only reason we can't give this machine more stars.
Otherwise, that hope of almost reaching the Buggin max win of 10,000 your bet and 5 wild features that can trigger any time got us up and dancing off our seats more times than once.
There's no fly in our ointment while playing this little creepers game.
