Beach Life Slot Review 

Released in 2006, the Beach Life slot from Playtech is one of its popular progressive slots that has stood the test of time. As with many of the UK casino slots produced in the early 2000’s, the graphics are a tad dated in comparison with newer releases but the progressive jackpot prize never grows old! 

The Beach Life slot online game has a classic 5x3 layout with 20 adjustable paylines and a fixed line bet of £0.50 per spin. It’s RTP is slightly lower than average at 93.25% but this is due to a percentage of each wager contributing to the progressive jackpot prize which typically pays out around the £2 million mark.

The Beach Life slot game is simple enough to play but with its fixed bet and progressive jackpot, it leans more towards the high rollers than beginners. Lining up two or more symbols across the active paylines from the leftmost reel to the right, will achieve a win.

The best way to test out any UK casino slots is to play the demo versions for free. You can learn the rules and develop a gameplay strategy. However, whilst playing for free, you are unable to trigger the progressive jackpot or win real money.

Game Rules 

Above the reels in the far right corner you’ll see the settings menu, click into the help section for the game rules. Here’s a brief overview: 

• Line wins pay from left to right  
• Only active paylines can register line wins 
• Total bet per game = bet per line (£0.50) x active paylines 
• Scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet

Regular symbols on the Beach Life slot game feature a scuba diver paying up to 500x the line bet, a sunbather, a surfer and five varieties of ice cream and lollies. Special symbols include a sunshine wild that pays up to 100,000x the line bet and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and bonus.  

The scatter is an elaborate sandcastle which rewards up to 500x the total bet and pays from any position. The Bonus symbol is a treasure chest that rests on the sea bed, land three or more to trigger the bonus round. Here’s a round-up of all symbols and their values for the Beach Life slot online game: 

Unlike similar games, the Beach Life slot doesn’t feature a free spins bonus, instead it has a bonus pick round and an exciting progressive jackpot prize:

Sunken Treasure Bonus  

Landing three or more Bonus treasure chests consecutively on any active payline from left to right will award the Sunken Treasure Bonus pick round. Land 3, 4 or 5 treasure chests to receive 3, 4 or 5 bonus picks, respectively. Open the treasure chests to reveal cash prizes which are added to your win total. 

Progressive Jackpot 

When playing for real money, the progressive jackpot prize amount will be displayed above the reels of the Beach Life slot online game and seeds at £100,000. Historically, the jackpot has tended to payout once it breaks through the £2 million barrier. You can only trigger it when playing with all 20 paylines at the maximum bet level. 

Land 5 sunshine wilds on the 20th active payline to win the progressive jackpot prize. As a side note, five wilds landing on any other active payline will award 100,000x the line bet. 

he Beach Life slot theme is, as you can imagine, all about those lazy days spent down at the beach. There’s water activities like scuba diving and surfing or good old fashioned sunbathing, all accompanied by some delicious ice cream treats.  

The special symbols are also in keeping with the beach theme with a sunken treasure chest, well-built sandcastle and dazzling sunshine. The graphics are looking outdated now but this game has been around since 2006 so it’s to be expected. There’s no soundtrack as such, just special effects for reels and wins.
