Beach Life is a five reel slot from Playtech which packs in of the largest progressive jackpots around. We’ve been running the figures for some time now and discovered an average win on $3.25 million, with the largest of 2012 paying $8.2 million! There’s also a healthy range of regular prizes and features which include wilds, scatters and an underwater inspired bonus round.
Beach Life Slot Theme
Beach babes, sand, surfers, ice creams and sunshine are all offered on the Beach life reels. In fact, anything and everything you can think of has been included in some shape or form. There’s sea, sand, palm trees, yachts and beach umbrellas in the background and an array of items on the reels to set the beach life scene.
Many of the icons animate when a winning combo is made. The surfer rides the waves, chests open and close, the diver moves around in the water; these are just a handful of examples of the entertaining animations shown on the reels.
It’s a shame that the bespoke sound effects used during the bonus game aren’t slot wide because that would have meant a solid all round effort by the designers. During normal play these are rather generic and not entirely in keeping with the slots theme. If these do start to bug you (as they did us) you can hit the mute button at any time.
Betting Options and Other Functions
A multimillion pound progressive jackpot slot would usually command ridiculous wagers, but this is not the case because players can wager anything from 0.25 to $5. Can you imagine winning $8.2 million dollars from a $5 wager as one player recently did?
Beach Life Slot Features
The sunshine wild symbol can count as any other symbol bar the scattered sandcastle or bonus chest. Five of these icons on the 20th payline will award the progressive jackpot, whilst five on any other line will award 10,000 coins.
Two or more scattered sandcastle icons will award a prize regardless of their position on the reels. Two, three, four or five scatters pays 2x, 5x, 50x or 500x your stake respectively when they appear on any active line.
Three bonus chests on a payline awards the bonus game where you must choose from 14 closed treasure chests. You are asked to choose three which each reveal a bonus amount which is credited to your account at the end of the round.
Our Take on Beach Life
Beach Life entertains by using a popular theme, detailed graphics and by offering a competitive betting range. The lackluster sound effects are a minor blip because the huge prizes on offer are so impressive. Keep an eye on the progressive counter because we’ve proven it pays out every 131 days on average. We’ll have our fingers crossed that it’s one of our players who wins big.
