Beam Boys

Beam Boys is a kitten-and-laser-themed slot from Hacksaw Gaming. It uses a six-reel, four-row grid with ways wins, while the central Wild Rows mechanic turns laser-covered positions into Wild symbols.

The game also includes a volatility switch and a free spins bonus with four possible starting awards. Hacksaw Gaming lists the maximum win as 12,500 times the bet, with that limit available in all game modes.

The Beam Boys grid contains six reels and four rows. Its ways-wins format works alongside the laser-based Wild Rows feature, making full rows important whenever a Wild Laser Cat appears.

Rather than adding a separate side feature, the cat-and-laser theme is tied directly to the main mechanic. A qualifying cat symbol affects its entire row to the left, potentially creating several Wild positions from one landing.

A volatility switch is displayed outside the grid. It allows the player to toggle between low volatility and Extreme volatility before observing how each mode changes the game's win pattern.

According to the game rules, low volatility usually produces smaller wins more often. Extreme volatility usually produces larger wins less frequently. The switch therefore changes the intended balance between win size and frequency without changing the stated 12,500x maximum.

Wild Laser Cat symbols can land on reels 2 through 6. When one appears, it fires a laser to the left across every position on the same row.

The Wild Laser Cat position and all positions covered by its beam become Wild symbols. These Wilds substitute for every symbol in the paytable, so the value of the feature depends on where the cat lands and how much of the row its beam covers.

The Beam Boys bonus game is activated when FS scatter symbols land at the same time in the base game. Three FS symbols award 5 free spins, four award 10, five award 20, and six award 40 free spins.

The feature can also award additional spins. Landing two FS symbols at the same time during the bonus adds 2 free spins, while three FS symbols add 4 free spins.

Beam Boys has a stated maximum win of 12,500 times the bet. Hacksaw Gaming specifies that this maximum can be reached in all game modes.

That detail is relevant when comparing the low and Extreme volatility settings. The switch changes the usual balance of win frequency and size, but the published maximum remains 12,500x.

The free Beam Boys demo provides a practical way to identify the game's main controls and feature symbols. Start by locating the volatility switch outside the grid, then compare the stated low and Extreme settings.

During play, watch reels 2 through 6 for Wild Laser Cat symbols and follow each beam to see which positions become Wild. It is also worth noting the number of FS symbols landing together, since the trigger count determines whether the bonus starts with 5, 10, 20, or 40 free spins.

Beam Boys combines a six-reel, four-row ways setup with a clearly defined row-expanding Wild mechanic. Its distinguishing choice is the external volatility switch, which lets players select between smaller, more frequent wins and larger, less frequent wins.

The main points to remember are the reels 2 through 6 landing range for Wild Laser Cats, the tiered FS scatter requirements, the possibility of extra spins during the feature, and the 12,500x maximum win available across all modes.
