Honeylock's Pots

Honeylock's Pots is a video slot developed by Quickspin, released on April 14, 2026. The game is based on the classic fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears, reimagined with an adult Honeylocks character and a honey-themed setting. It plays on a 5x4 grid with 30 paylines and sits within the growing category of three-feature hold 'n' win slots.

The game's standout element is its trio of bonus features – Grabber, Expander, and Prizepot – each linked to one of the three bears. Up to all three can activate simultaneously in a single bonus round, depending on which Honey symbols triggered it. An Extra Bet option and a Buy Feature are also available, giving players more control over how they access the bonus game.

Honeylock's Pots targets players who enjoy hold 'n' win mechanics with added layers of feature interaction. Medium volatility and a max win of 2,500x the bet place it in a balanced range, appealing to players who prefer steady engagement over high-risk gameplay.

Honeylock's Pots is set in a bright, open meadow under a blue sky. The visual style is polished and cartoonish, with warm greens, golds, and blues across the reels. The Honeylocks character appears as the Wild symbol, framed in gold. The three bears – Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear – are displayed above the reels, each associated with one of the three features.

Symbols include fairy tale items such as porridge bowls, wooden chairs, beds, and small houses, all rendered in a clean, illustrated style. Card rank symbols (J through A) appear on parchment-style blocks. Honey pots tied to the Grabber, Expander, and Prizepot features stand out visually with distinct shapes and colors.

The audio complements the setting with light, playful sound effects that shift in tone when the bonus round activates. Animations are smooth, particularly when wilds expand across reels or the Grabber symbol collects values on the board.

Honeylock's Pots uses a standard left-to-right payline structure across 5 reels and 4 rows. Winning combinations require matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel.

Players set their bet using the +/- controls at the bottom of the screen. The betting range runs from 0.10 to 100 per spin. The paytable, settings, and autoplay options are accessible through the menu icons on the interface.

The Extra Bet option doubles your current stake and guarantees the Honeylock Expand feature whenever a Wild lands. This must be activated before spinning and cannot be used at the same time as the Buy Feature.

Honey symbols are the key triggers for the bonus game. Landing at least one in the base game gives a chance to enter the bonus round. The Buy Feature allows direct entry into the bonus from the base game at a set cost.

Honeylock Expand

When a Wild symbol lands, it may randomly expand to fill the entire reel. If one Wild expands, all other Wilds on screen expand as well. With the Extra Bet active (cost: 2x the stake), this expansion is guaranteed every time a Wild lands.

Bonus Buy Option: No (activated via Extra Bet)

Honey Boost

If a Honey symbol lands in the base game but the bonus does not trigger, the Honey Boost may activate instead. Honeylocks appears on screen and triggers the feature corresponding to that Honey symbol for that spin only.

Bonus Buy Option: No

Bonus Game

The Bonus Game can activate when at least one Honey symbol lands in the base game. Which features are active in the round depends on which Honey symbols triggered it:

• Diamond Honey symbol → Grabber feature
• Heart Honey symbol → Expander feature
• Clubs Honey symbol → Prizepot feature

All three can activate in a single spin if all three Honey symbols land at once. The round starts with 3 spins. Each new symbol that lands resets the counter to 3. The round ends when no spins remain. At the end, the player collects the total value of all symbols on screen.

Coins land with random values of 0.2x, 0.4x, 0.6x, 0.8x, 1x, 2x, 4x, or 25x the bet.

Grabber – The Grabber symbol (Baby Bear) adds the values of all other symbols currently in the unlocked play area to its own value when it lands.

Expander – The Expander symbol (Mama Bear) unlocks 2 to 5 positions from the locked area. Up to 15 additional positions can be unlocked in total. Reaching the 8th and 15th unlocked positions awards a maximum life increase of 1, up to a maximum of 5 total lives.

Prizepot – Each Prizepot symbol (Papa Bear) advances the Prizepot Meter by one step. Prize steps are at positions 2, 4, 6, and 8, awarding the Mini (10x), Minor (30x), Major (150x), and Mega (2,500x) jackpots respectively.

Honey's Luck – If the total win reaches 2,500x the bet at any point during the base game or bonus game combined, Honey's Luck triggers and the game round ends immediately with a payout of 2,500x. This is the max win cap for the game.

Buy Feature

Players can skip the base game and purchase direct entry into the Bonus Game with a chosen number of features active:

• 1+ feature: 30x the bet
• 2+ features: 50x the bet
• All 3 features: 85x the bet

Wins are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. The Wild (Honeylocks) substitutes for all symbols except Honey symbols and appears on all reels.

Honey Symbols (Diamond, Heart, Clubs) are special trigger symbols and do not pay directly. Each one is linked to a specific bonus feature – Grabber, Expander, and Prizepot respectively.

Coin Symbols appear in the Bonus Game only and carry random values of 0.2x to 25x the bet.

Standard wins are formed when 3 or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from reel 1. The game uses 30 fixed paylines evaluated left to right.

Wild symbols substitute for all regular symbols and can expand to cover a full reel via the Honeylock Expand feature, which can significantly increase the number of winning combinations on a single spin.

The main win potential comes from the Bonus Game. Coins and special symbols accumulate on the reels and remain until the round ends. The Grabber collects values from surrounding symbols. The Expander increases the available play area, allowing more symbols to land. The Prizepot advances toward jackpot prizes up to the Mega at 2,500x.

Reaching a combined total of 2,500x at any point – across the base game and bonus – triggers Honey's Luck, which immediately pays out the maximum win.

Quickspin has not released alternative versions of Honeylock's Pots at this time. Players who enjoy the hold 'n' win format with multiple features may find similar gameplay in other Quickspin titles such as Loch Ness Cash Collect or in three-feature games from other providers. The three-pot / three-feature structure has become a recognizable format across the industry, with comparable releases from studios including Blueprint Gaming and Hacksaw Gaming.

Honeylock's Pots delivers a competent hold 'n' win experience built around the Goldilocks theme. The three-feature system – Grabber, Expander, and Prizepot – adds variety to the bonus round, and the ability to activate all three at once creates the game's highest potential. Medium volatility and a 2,500x max win keep the game in a moderate range, which suits players who prefer consistent engagement over extreme variance. The Honeylock Expand and Extra Bet option add useful flexibility in the base game. It is a solid release within its genre, though players chasing high max wins may find the cap limiting.
