This is a hot summer themed video slot with 5 reels and 20 paylines that takes you to a soft sandy beach with palm trees and turquoise ocean water. Spinning the reels of the slot, you will see sexy beach babes and suntanned lifeguards who add fun and bring generous awards. Surprisingly for a Microgaming’s 5-reel slot, Life’s a Beach has no free spins but presence of a second-screen bonus game is a good trade-off.

This 5×3 slot has three adjustable wagering options: the number of paylines, the number of coins per line (1 to 10) and a coin size ($0.01 to $0.50), therefore, a total bet varies between $0.25 and $100 per spin, which is a comfortable betting range for most types of players. The top three awards are $60,000 (five Bar symbols), $15,000 (five scatters) and $5000 (four Bar symbols or five Umbrellas).

Bonus features

The slot has a wild symbol depicted by Beach Babe. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only, substituting for all non-feature icons. Unfortunately, the wild cannot create its own winning combinations.

Three or more Lifeguards scattered in any position unlock a pick-to-win style bonus game. On a new screen, you will see six beach umbrellas and you are to pick any four of them. Finding a girl behind an umbrella awards a random cash prize, while each empty umbrella you have picked brings a consolation prize of x2 times a triggering bet.
