In Spring Break, Microgaming gives its players a chance to relive one of the best parts about college. Yes, it’s the spring break, and you see in the game’s symbols a lot of the reasons why this period of the year can be so fun. From sitting on the beach, to drinking like only a young man can, eating unhealthy foods or attending beach parties, there are a lot of cool things that Spring Break has to offer.
Only 9 paylines are placed on the 5 reels of Spring Break. The game does better feature wise, with big prizes coming from the scatter symbols, along with free spins and multipliers. Add wild symbols that also have multipliers, plus the 10,000x top prize, and I’m sure you will see why it’s a very good choice.
Features of Spring Break
With the features of Spring Break, you’re getting wilds that apply multipliers plus scatter symbols which give you big prizes and which also trigger the free spins with tripled prizes.
If you see the Spring Break Logo, with the young couple that’s enjoying cocktails on it, you just found the wild symbol. With a bit of luck, you’re going to have it as part of a combination of symbols, either one with multiple wilds in it, or one where this symbol takes the role of another. In the former case, you need a minimum of two wilds arranged from left to right, with the top prizes being at 10,000x. In the latter, you need one or two regular symbols that match, plus a wild, and you can form a combo. The wild applies a multiplier of 2x to all wins where it acts as a substitute.
The Beach Party Logo is the second feature symbol, the only one to act as a scatter in this game. What you will love about it is the ability it has to show up on a couple of reels without being on a payline, and yet it will still give you very good prizes. Actually, the top prize offered by it is worth a huge 500 times the triggering bet, while most slots only give you 100x or 200x.
Free Games Feature
The game will reward you with 15 spins for free, the requirement being quite typical for a slot machine, the presence of 3 to 5 scatters. For the duration of this feature you’re going to get tripled prizes, thanks to a 3x multiplier. You can also activate this feature again, and you receive an additional 15 spins for free.
Betting options and jackpots
You get 9 paylines that you have to cover with your bets, but you decide exactly how many are active each round. Up to 5 coins are selected for each payline, denominations ranging from $0.01 to $1. With a maximum line bet of $5, the game needs $45 to cover all the lines.
As for the biggest rewards offered here, the wild symbol gives you 10,000x the line bet, so up to $50,000 cash.
Design and symbols
The game aims to show off all the great things that spring break has to offer. A large percentage of the symbols are foods that aren’t very healthy to eat, but should prove great after a night of partying. Other pictures show you people enjoying the sun, a beer or drinking an SUV. The design style doesn’t have a lot of details, so you can’t even make out the lines of the faces, but it works in this case and you do get the party vibe from it.
Symbols: Spring Break Logo (wild, 10,000x), Beach Party Logo (500x bet, scatter), Off Road Vehicle (750x), Man in pool (750x), Sun Bathers (400x), Sunset (250x), Barbecue (250x), Burrito (125x), Hamburger (125x), Pizza (100x), Salsa with chips (100x), Beer (100x) and Popsicle (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
The small number of paylines is the one thing that will probably disappoint, but the game makes up for it with its theme, its top prizes (10,000x the line bet from the wild, 500x the bet from the scatter) and features.
