The black futuristic cat is sitting to the right of the reels, waving back and forth, creating an eerie vibe. Regarding the background, it is blue, grey, and black with a Volatility Switch on the left side of the screen. All buttons, including the Spins and Feature Buy buttons, are located below the reels.

Beam Boys Slot Conclusion

We usually stay away from rugged-looking cats, especially when they can shoot lasers from their eyes, but in this game, we simply don’t have a choice. If you are familiar with Hacksaw Gaming, you know usually there isn’t “comic relief” or some heart-warming moments during the spins, so don’t be surprised by the serious look of this game. Even if this game is pretty hardcore, it comes with a banger of a background tune, making this a creepy but enjoyable experience. 

As you may have guessed, the cat plays a big role during the spins. Whenever a Wild Cat Symbol lands on the reels, it will shoot a laser and transform all symbols on its left side into Wild Symbols, generating big wins, especially if it lands on the rightmost reels. Even if this game lacks a heartwarming moment, you can still warm yourself with the impressive max win of 12,500X the bet, which will attract players looking for the big hit. Regarding the stats, you can switch the Volatility in this game between Normal and Extreme. We tried playing the game in both modes, and to be honest, we didn’t notice big differences, but with that said, it is still a nice feature that lets players decide volatility after their own personal preferences. 

In conclusion, the design didn’t appeal to us, not because of its theme but because the background, symbols, and effects couldn’t create a captivating atmosphere. Beam Boys isn’t as catchy as their previous release, Feel The Beat, which is a game stacked with features and a beautiful design.  Still, this game offers plenty of exciting features with an impressive max win. 

Beam Boys is a slot with a quirky cat theme offering a Bonus Game and a Volatility Switch, accompanied by great background music!
