Honeylock's Pots Demo: Honey Symbols, Bears and Respins
On the 5x4 reels of Honeylock's Pots (April 2026), honey symbols in three suits call up three bears for a bonus of respins on a larger board. Wins pay on 30 lines, volatility is 3 of 5 by Quickspin's sheet, and nothing pays more than 2,500x the bet.
What do the three bears bring to the Bonus Game?
A special symbol each, for bears whose honey symbol started the round or that join it later. A Grabber adds every other value in the open area to its own. An Expander opens 2 to 5 of the 15 locked positions, and the 8th and 15th opened add a respin to the counter. A Prizepot moves an 8-step meter that pays MINI 10x on step 2, MINOR 30x on step 4, MAJOR 150x on step 6 and MEGA 2,500x on step 8.

The biggest bear, PAPA on his chest and green glasses on his nose, holds the club over the PRIZEPOT pot, a cub in a propeller cap has the GRABBER's diamond and a bear with a red bow the EXPANDER's heart. We stayed on the client's opening €1.00 stake with a €5,000.00 play balance, so any WIN on our frames is a multiple of the bet.

Hearts, diamonds and clubs pick the bears
Each honey symbol belongs to one bear: diamonds to the Grabber, hearts to the Expander, clubs to the Prizepot, and the reels never hold two of a suit at once. Any of them may trigger the Bonus Game, and inside the round each may still bring in a missing bear. The Grabber joined spin 86 on the third diamond, the Prizepot spin 214 on the first club.
A honey symbol showed on 313 of our 500 spins, opening the round on seven, four times alone and three times as a pair. The three full sets, on spins 81, 90 and 228, won nothing.
Honeylock's Expand turns every Wild into a whole reel
Honeylocks herself is the Wild. When one lands, Honeylock's Expand may stretch every Wild on the screen over its reel, and Extra Bet makes that certain for 2 times the stake. Of the 90 spins where a Wild landed, 35 expanded and together paid €277.40, more than the seven Bonus Games (€196.20).
Nine of our 14 hits at 10x and above came this way, including spin 204's 37.5x, the base game's best, with Wild reels 1 and 3.
Three respins, and any new symbol winds the count back
The Bonus Game moves to a board the server deals as seven columns of five: 20 positions open on the left, 15 locked on the right. You get 3 respins. Whatever lands stays and sets the counter to 3 again, and at zero every value on the board is paid.
Expanders alone open the locks, and a round holds 5 lives at most. Ours opened 5, 5, 6 and 13 positions in four rounds, and spin 195, the only one past the 8th, lifted its counter to 4 for a run of 49 respins.
Our clip is spin 5 of a separate media session, opened by a club and a heart. The Expander unlocked 12 squares, the counter reached 4, and 36 respins (free spins, in the client's words) paid €52.20.
Grabber totals and a jackpot ladder that ends at the cap
Adding up the open area as it lands, a Grabber tends to carry the board's largest number: 28x in our bought round, 21.8x on spin 195.
The prize of each ladder step goes onto the Prizepot that reaches it. In our rounds the second Prizepot took the MINI (three times) and the fourth the MINOR (once, spin 103), while MAJOR 150x never came. MEGA equals the cap, since Honey's Luck stops any round at 2,500x, base game and bonus counted together.
€586.60 back from 500 spins, a third of it from the bonus
Logged at €1.00 on 30 Oct 2026, the session returned 117.3%. Half the wins were 0.8x or less, and the longest losing streak was 13 spins.

| Spin | Bears at the start | Joined later | Respins | Paid |

| 103 | Expander, Prizepot | none | 29 | 48.8x |

| 495 | Grabber | none | 13 | 8.8x |
Spin 82 marked the low, €4,989.30, four spins before the first round, and spin 254 the high, €5,173.60. Both 48.8x rounds started with two bears.
30x, 50x or 85x for bears you would otherwise wait for
The honey pot marked BONUS opens three cards: 1 BEAR + (at least one feature), 2 BEARS + (at least two) and THE THREE BEARS. Quickspin's page lists them without prices, and no buy runs with Extra Bet on.
| Option | Price | At €1.00 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bear+Straight into the bonus game with at least 1 feature activated | 30x | €30.00 |
| 2 Bears+Straight into the bonus game with at least 2 features activated | 50x | €50.00 |
| The Three BearsStraight into the bonus game with all three features | 85x | €85.00 |
Our €30.00 1 Bear+ came with the Grabber alone. Two hearts landed without bringing in the Expander, but three Grabbers carried the round to €52.00. Natural one-bear rounds had paid 5.8x to 34.2x and two-bear ones 28.4x to 48.8x, too few to judge a buy by, and Quickspin gives the cards no RTP.
Another fairy tale on 5x4, another bonus that counts lives
Pied Piper, also 5x4, has 40 lines, volatility 3.9 and a simulated peak of 1,465.55x.
The bonus is closer to Mine & Melt, whose Bonus Game also runs on 3 lives that any landing restores and whose buys cost 60x and 330x. Here an Expander can lift the count to 5.
Nearly half our return came from Wild reels in the base game, the part a buy skips. The free demo's 96.03% is missing from the game sheet, whose 94.18%, 92.07% and 84.21% cards are the other models a casino might run. Not every market gets the buy or Extra Bet.

Big Bad Wolf reviewWhat the log adds to the help screens
The last two answers do without our log.
Does Honey Boost start the Bonus Game by itself?
The help screen says it may follow a honey symbol that lands without starting the bonus, with Honeylocks triggering that symbol's feature. It does not say whether that means a Bonus Game, and our log has no marker for it, so none of our seven rounds can be put down to it.
Does a Grabber take the values away from the other symbols?
No. Every symbol a Grabber collected in our log kept its value while the Grabber added a copy. Spin 86's 34.2x counted the MINI's 10x twice, in its own square and inside the Grabber's 17.4x.
What can a single coin be worth?
One of eight values on the help screen: 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.6x, 0.8x, 1x, 2x, 4x and 25x the bet. Of the 77 coins left on our seven final boards, 74 were 0.8x or less, two were 1x and one was 2x.
Where does Goldilocks come into the story?
Only in the background: Quickspin's page says Goldilocks fled the forest and her older sister Honeylocks stayed to win back the bears' trust with honey. The studio names no earlier game, and no Goldilocks slot is reviewed on this site.
Which figure for the 2,500x cap applies to the free demo?
The demo server gives its 96.03% model a 2,500x win about once in 2,689,796 spins. The sheet prints 3,157,610 for 94.18%, 3,673,456 for 92.07% and 9,366,997 for 84.21%. Honey's Luck pays the cap and ends the round.
