Every once in a while there comes a game that offers oodles of fun. That's why the Bikini Party slot has become a big hit across Microgaming powered casinos.
The Bikini Party slot is the perfect complement to this month's other big release Dragon Dance. You see, both slots are essentially the same game, just on a different theme. All the features you can find on one, are on the other, the payouts are the same, the bonus features are the same, it is just that the theme of the slot is different and of the two, I think Bikini Party is likely to hold people's attention a little longer over a sustained period of time.
Let's get the basics of the slot down first. Bikini Party is, as the name suggests, a beach themed slot with a gaggle of gorgeous girls, in a variety of revealing bikini's showing their ample assets on the beach volleyball court. It is a 5x3 slot which has done away with the usual paylines and instead offers the more flexible 243-ways to win across the reels.
The setting of the slot is a sun-kissed beach with an azure ocean glistening in the background and it is fair to say, the slot looks appealing in that respect. Spins start from just 0.25 per spin, though you can wager up to 125.00 per spin if you prefer, which means that this is a slot which is friendly to both the smaller stakes gamer and the higher roller.
If there is one small niggly disappointment with the slot then it is the inclusion of many low symbols in the game and once again it is playing card symbols that have been used to represent them. It would have been a nicer touch and perhaps added to the ambiance of the game to have had a few more beach themed symbols on the reels.
However, the plus side of this is that it is easy to delineate between which are the low value and which are the high value slots and that is key when you are considering one of the main features of the game (which we'll look at a little later on).
The high symbols in the game are five gorgeous beach babes wearing a variety of bikini's that range from the sensible to the gravity-defying. They are what gives the slot added appeal and they can certainly brighten your day when landed across the reels as you can win up to 16,000 coins if you land five on the reels.
So the base game is generally favourable and the girls certainly help keep you interested at the reels especially as they reveal the bigger wins, but there are a couple of other key symbols on the slot that you need to pay close attention to.
The first is the in game Wild symbol which is the Bikini Party logo. This substitutes for all the high and low symbols on the reels, though the Wild is only located on reels 2 and 4 in this game, which is unusual as on many slots, it is spread across the reels.
Landing two wilds across the reels can help trigger several winning paylines from a single spin.
The second symbol which Wild symbols cannot substitute for is the Scatter symbol. This is the volleyball symbol against the net and when you land three or more of these across the reels, you enter the Free Spins bonus round.
In the bonus round you receive 15 free spins and every time you win during free spins, your win amount is subject to a 3x multiplier. That's a nice touch, as is the fact that if you can hit three more scatter symbols during a free spins round, you can re-trigger yet more free spins with another multiplier bonus.
That's a nice feature and a nice touch and certainly adds spice when you hit the free spins round, but there's another feature on this slot which certainly helps keep people spinning and that is the Re-spin feature.
Unlike other Microgaming slots, the Re-spin feature on Bikini Party allows you to play just one reel after a spin and by spinning it, you could potentially turn it into a win, or even a bigger win. There is a cost attached to spinning the reel, with the cost related to how much chance you have of winning cash on the spin. The more chance you have of winning, or triggering a bigger cash win, the more expensive the re-spin cost will be.
There's a lot to enjoy in the Bikini Party slot and if you enjoy the game itself, you'll certainly enjoy the Dragon Dance slot which was released at the same time. With the chance to win up to 160x your original wager, this is a slot that if you win big, you could be celebrating with your own beach party.
