Summer Jam

Summer Jam Overview

Gameart's newest slot game is one that will have players reaching for a cold cider and turning up the EDM music, as it is themed around the exciting summer festival season. The game takes place on a 5-reel, 3-row gameboard with a conventional mechanic to score wins and receive payouts. The pumping music and festival atmosphere inspire partying, and this slot makes the most of that aesthetic. In addition to some excellent graphics and layered visuals, this game also offers a range of bonus features and wins of up to 1,000x your stake per spin.

When it comes to the features for this game, they mostly revolve around the different types of wilds that are on offer and a terrific free spins game. The free spins game is triggered when players land three or more of the VIP ticket scatters on the reels simultaneously and, doing so, awards you with 12 free spins and a payout of 2x your bet. Once the free spins round is in effect, a second reel springs up and sticky wilds are added to the board. The more bonus scatters you land, the more reels and sticky wilds are made available to you. The wilds in this game are also stacked, meaning that they can fill entire reels to help score more wins. Finally, there is also a bonus buy feature.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is a raging EDM music festival. By the looks of the stage, the crowd and the various visuals, the event looks to have been based on the EDM festival Ultra. Ultra is an annual outdoor electronic music festival that currently takes place during March in Miami, Florida, United States. Some of the most famous performers to have played at the festival include David Guetta, Martin Garrix and Tiesto, all of which could be represented in this slot version of the festival we are looking at here.
The background for this slot is the massive main stage and the crowd surrounding it at the vast bumping festival. In the foreground, you have people gathered together in a great mass, pumping their fists, videoing the act, generally drinking, and having a good time. Whereas in the foreground is the colossal stage surrounded by enormous speakers, lighting rigs and technical equipment, all used to make the act shine as well as it can.

The board settles nicely within the extremities of the stage and, in many ways, takes the place of where an act would be as the main visual draw of the screen.

The symbols for this game are split into low-paying, high-paying and special symbols. The low-paying symbols are the playing card royals raging from 9 to A in funky multicoloured fonts. Above these in value are the various beverages that represent high-value icons. These begin with the standard beer, followed by the lime-infused cocktail, the plum cocktail, and the blue mint cup. The most valuable of these drinks, however, is the red Daquiri-looking drink with all sorts of decorations. The specials finally comprise the bonus VIP scatters, purple and red, then the GA gold coin special symbol. Additionally, there are the four wilds represented by different festival-going characters.

The bulk of the action in this slot is attained via the free spins feature, triggered by landing three or more of the scatter VIP icons on the reels simultaneously. Doing so will award you with 12 free spins and a 2x bet payout.
When this feature is triggered, it will automatically set up a second reel. You can then unlock other reels by collecting additional VIP bonus symbols from within the feature. These new reels also come with an addition of sticky wild symbols. The more VIP symbols you land, the better your free spins round. This is explained in the following:

14 Bonus Symbols - unlocks reel set 4 and adds a Stack of Sticky Wild symbols on reels 4 of each grid.
30 Bonus Symbols - adds a Stack of Sticky Wild symbols to reels 3 of each grid.

In addition to being sticky for the duration of the feature, the wilds in this game can also come in stacked sizes, helping to form even more wins.
