Sam on the Beach Slot – Free Play and Review

Modern, yet a bit old-fashioned, Sam and his family chilling on the beach is the sight you will see when you start the game. As soon as Sam on the Beach slot loads from the casino lobby, blue sea, fun music and many seaside elements, such as fully packed suitcases for your travel, a beach bar where this interesting family will welcome your stay. On the reels you might encounter stars, crabs, fun bells and four Sam’s household members.

This is an amusing and colourful 5 reels and 3 rows video slot that has no fixed paylines but gives you the incredible 243 ways to win. Music matches the seaside party atmosphere and we are sure that if you spend enough time with Sam and his family you will enjoy the positive vibe that design, as well as soundtrack and great features of the ELK Studio release will bring.

Developer

Sam on the Beach slot is created and designed by relatively new, but definitely full of potential Swedish based company, ELK Studio. Gaming industry has expanded in the last few decades more that anyone could expect, and many game developers and operators have entered the world of gaming, but not many have managed to achieve success.

ELK Studio is not one of those. Even though this company has been established in 2012, it quickly became recognisable by its vibrant and modern design and graphics of mobile slot games, as well as some rather interesting features, not so often seen in slots.

How To Play It

Sam on the Beach has one very interesting feature that you will notice as soon as you start the game. It is a possibility of creating a betting strategy, which is not so commonly seen feature in slot games.

You can bet  from $0.20 up to $100 on every spin, and in the paytable you will see four possible options/betting strategies you can select: jumper, booster, leveler and optimizer. They are all differently coloured so you can easily track the active strategy and what it does to your betting options.

The slot offers 12 bet levels for each currency and every bet is worth 100 coins. When you select your betting strategy you can press spin or auto spin, which works in combination with the betting strategies, and start the game.

Special Features

Many interesting symbols are to be seen in this game. One of them is a bell icon that plays for Scatter and can appear on all reels. A combination of 3 Bell symbols triggers the free spin feature, and depending on how many of them you see on the reels you could get 5, 10 of even 15 free spins.

When this feature is triggered you will be given many more special features, such as Electrical treats, that are represented as family members symbols and they all activate a different experience and many multiplying options for you to increase your chances for big wins. Sam on the Beach himself is Wild, and it substitutes for any symbol but the bell and in normal mode can appear on 2nd and 4th reel.

One of the bonus features is a Beach Memories Respin as well, which can be triggered if you land all four family members in a line, the order does not matter, and you will be awarded one respin and any wild on the reels will remain on its place.

Maximum Payouts

Sam on the Beach would not be half as good without its numerous special features, which if used wisely could get you up to 227,520 coins, which translates to 2,275x your total bet.

Summary

If you are up to some fun on the beach and you don’t mind the company of Sam’s family, you are about to experience a great 3D game adventure.

With its sticky Wilds and multipliers, bonus multipliers and imploding symbols and many other bonus features, this medium leaning towards high variance slot will leave your hands full of sand and hopefully plenty of coins. It is a game that has a RTP of 96.30%, and will definitely bring the summer into your home no matter the season.
