The Tipsy Tourist: Beach Bonanza Betsoft Slot
Betsoft has established itself as one of the primary gaming houses in the online casino space and, you simply cannot go wrong by keeping your eyes peeled for their new entrants. This week they’ve got a 5 reel winner with Beach Bonanza Slots - which is from the potentially lucrative Hold & Win line of playable pokies. Among other features, this one allows you to use the 20 reel, 3 row grid to try and land lucrative icon payout combos; you can also take advantage of bonus EXPAND +1 Spin icon in order to double and triple your resulting payout!
As you get deeper into the game, you’ll find something called Cooler Box Bonus. If you’re lucky enough to trigger it, then you’ll find several extra chances crop up that just might unleash the payouts attached to the Stacked Mystery Symbols. With a Return to Player value of greater than 96% and a Hit Frequency of 23.87%, you always have a solid chance of racking up wins if you play for long enough with a modest bankroll.
Beach Bonanza Slots Game Features
The serene beach atmosphere sets the stage nicely, for a long night of calm gameplay. The special bonus icons play a big part in what and how you win, with the Hold & Win Feature being activated when you land at least 5 scatter icons at the same time (the scatter is the 1UP icon). When this occurs, you’ll also get 9 extra spins with which to try your hand at racking up prizes and even more playing chances.
Another big bonus is the so-called Cooler Box Bonus, which can be activated in any base game; just look for the titular “Collect” or “Bonus” to appear on the reels for your opportunity to corral the forthcoming Hold & Win feature rounds. The Beach Bonanza Slots Wild icon makes substitutions for the other symbols to great effect; this only rings true when the Wild lands on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th reels; when doing so, it will knock off almost any other game symbol to help you complete a winning combination. The only icons that it cannot knock off are the Expand, Bonus, Collect and +1 Spin symbols.
As if the above weren’t enough, there’s also a Stacked Mystery Symbol attribute that can dramatically improve your fortunes. This mystery icon is applicable to each reel and the position it inhabits on that reel can be substituted with a payout icon. This causes a domino effect that then causes all of the Mystery positions on the gameboard to be filled with the same symbol for an enhanced payout.
