Wild Beach Party Slot review
Grab your sunglasses and towels because we’re headed to the beach for a wild party with Pragmatic Play. It’s fair to say, at first glance, the Wild Beach Party slot feels a little bit dated thematically, with a scantily clad woman dancing away at the side of the reels in an attempt to lure you in. We are willing to look past though and see what the gameplay here has to offer. Let’s party on and see what is in store in this Wild Beach Party slot review.
Wild Beach Party Theme and Design
As we mentioned in the intro, the design of the Wild Beach Party slot feels a little dated. The reels are set on a beach, with a cabin sitting in the background and a parrot floating around to add a little more personality. The developer has gone with the odd decision to have an Anime-style woman dancing around in a bikini next to the grid. It feels a little cheap and desperate for a company that has some innovative designs up its sleeve. We know that sex sells and all that, but this just gives off a slightly sleazy, late-1990s vibe. The laziness extends into the slot’s symbols, with pieces of fruit not really fitting the whole ‘party’ atmosphere that the title suggests is in store.
How to Play Wild Beach Party
Looking past its design issues, the Wild Beach Party slot is a fairly standard cluster-pay game. The party happens on a 7x7 grid, with the slot paying out for clusters of five or more. Like most cluster pay slots, the game uses a Tumble feature. This sees winning clusters replaced on the grid with new symbols falling from above. This continues to happen until there are no winning clusters left.
Clicking the +/- buttons on either side of the spin button will allow players to adjust the stake. In the version we reviewed, the minimum was €0.20 and the maximum was €100. This can vary from casino to casino, so be sure to have a play around before you start to see if it suits your budget.
The RTP of the game is 96.53%. Players in some territories will also have the option of buying their way into the Free Spins round for 100x their stake. The slot is considered highly volatile and it offers a maximum win of 5,000x the player’s stake.
Anyone who has played Pragmatic Play’s Fruit Party will realise that this is a reskin of the same game. Everything about the slot is the same, with the theme being the only difference.
Wild Beach Party Bonus Features
As well as the aforementioned Tumble mechanic, there are two main bonus features available in Wild Beach Party. The first one players are likely to encounter is the Random Wild Multiplier.
Following a winning cluster, a random Wild can be added to the reels in the space of one of the winning symbols. This Wild will start with a x2 multiplier. Whenever it is part of another winning cluster in the same tumble, it will increase. This can go all the way up to x256. The Wild will disappear from the grid at the end of the Tumble.
The main bonus is the Free Spins round. This is triggered by three or more Scatter symbols. Three Scatters award 10 spins. Four, five, six or seven scatters reward 12, 15, 20, and 25 spins respectively.
During the Free Spins, the Random Wild Multiplier is active, but it starts at x3. The maximum multiplier available in the round is x729. Players can trigger five more free spins by landing three or more Scatters.
Wild Beach Party Slot Verdict
The enjoyment you get out of this slot is going to depend on how much mileage you can get out of its theme. A half-naked anime-woman dancing around feels like an odd choice from Pragmatic Play but if you can get past that, or even enjoy it, then the gameplay on offer here is solid enough. If you want to enjoy the same game with a different theme, then we recommend checking out Fruit Party 2 by the same developer, with Wild Beach Party effectively being a reskin of that.
