Very strange they didn't initially release this slot with an average stake counter on the swarm feature...
I initially thought that it didn't really matter what the average stake was because there's no fixed number of bees needed to initiate the swarm once you reach the final level. So the slot could very well take more time on purpose to release the swarm if you raise your bet at the last stage.
But obviously there's something "wrong" with it if people manage to make tens of thousands in profit with the right betting "strategy".
