Summer of Luck

Overview of Summer of Luck

Summer of Luck is the latest slot release from the gaming developers at Spinomenal who have mixed up all the great summer feelings to provide a fabulous video slot that will not only brighten your day but also give you the chance to win 1,000x your stake. So, grab your sunglasses, bag, and anything else you need and hopefully you will land your own Summer of Luck!

Design & Theme

Spinomenal have managed to bring all the elements of summer into this slot such as the beach, the ocean, sea and sand to take you on a vibrant journey to an exotic location where there are wins a plenty for you to collect as you play the game. The game screen sits against a stunning backdrop with the bluest of clouds and pure white sand beach. Whilst the game screen itself has a Caribbean feel with the five reels enclosed within bamboo styled edges and symbols that are clean and clear to create an ambience that is laid back and relaxed.

Game Information

Summer of Luck plays out over 5-reels and 100 pay lines and offers plenty of win opportunities. You will come across plenty of features which include scatter pays, stacked wilds, stacked symbols, wild reels, and free spins. The return to player is set at 95.8% which is good although slightly lower than a lot of the other slots on offer in the market. In theoretical terms this means that for every £100 you bet the expected return would be £95.80, however, the return to player is calculated on millions of spins which makes this more of a random pay out than a definite one.

The highest win you can land is 1,000x your bet which is reasonable, however whilst trying this slot I found that I landed a high number of small wins and was not lucky enough to trigger the 1,000x my bet.

Ready to Play

Once you are ready to play you will need to place your bet which ranges from 0.01 per spin up to 1,000 per spin. You can change the amount you wish to bet using the plus and minus buttons which are located to the right at the bottom of the game screen. On the bottom of the screen to the left is where you can choose the number of lines you wish to have in play using the plus and minus buttons. Should you wish to bet the maximum you can use the max bet button which sits to the left of the spin button in the centre of your screen. Finally, there is an auto play button on the right of the spin button which you can use if you want to sit back and watch the game unfold before you.

Once you are ready you press the button in the bottom centre which is the spin button and the reels will jump into action. To the far right is the information button which you can open to see the winnings you can land for win combinations.

How about a demo

Summer of Luck offers you the chance to play the game in demo mode which I think is an excellent feature. This means that you can get the hang of the game and what to expect before you need to risk any of your own money. This is always recommended and if it is going to give you a higher chance of landing wins (because you know what you are doing!) then surely it is a no brainer.

Symbols and wins

When it comes to the symbols you can expect to come across the usual playing card symbols 10 through to Ace which are styled in such a way that they look laid back and rather than the graphics being sharp they are more subdued as if they are having fun unwinding and hanging about on the beach! The higher paying symbols include the sun hat, sunglasses, and slices of melon.
The wild is represented by the pretty girl who could be mistaken for a waitress, or maybe she is with a cocktail in one hand and a flower in her hair. This symbol can substitute for all the symbols apart from the scatter which is represented by the starfish to create winning combinations. The scatter is represented by the Starfish and is the most valuable symbol in the game as you can see from below.

Wins are paid when you land three or more of any of the symbols and they will reward you as follows:
The 10 and Jack symbols will award you with x5 for landing 5, x1.5 for landing 4 and 0.5x your stake for landing 3.
The King and Queen pay x8 for landing 5, x2.5 for 4 and x1 your bet amount for three.
The Ace and Sunhat symbols reward you with 10x your bet for landing 5, 5x for landing 4 and 2x for landing 3.
The Watermelon pays out 60x for landing 5, 20x for 4 and 5x your bet for landing 3.
The Sunglasses award 100x your stake for landing 5, 30x for 4 and 6x for 3.
The wild pays out 100x your stake when you land 5 on a pay line and this symbol does not pay out for landing 4 or 3.
The scatter Starfish is the highest value symbol and will pay 250x your stake for landing 5, 25x for landing 4 and 2x your stake for landing 3.

Conclusion

I love this slot, from the first spin I felt as though I had been whisked away to some far Jamaican or Caribbean island where the pace of life is laid back and relaxed. It sounds stupid to say that a slot is relaxing when the reels are spinning but this is the ambience that exudes from this game.
The slot is well designed with excellent graphics and plenty of features which enable you to bring home the big wins.
