Beach Invaders slot review

Aliens have landed and they are heading to the beach in this video slot from NetEnt. The cocktails are flowing and the wilds and free spins keep on coming thanks to the game’s bonus features, which include wilds that can expand, shift and add a win multiplier to the board. There are also plenty of free spins. This leads to sand in your socks and a potential max win of 10,500x.

Fresh off the (space) ship

Beach Invaders is set on the sunny shores of a tropical island. The waves are gently lapping, the palm trees are fluttering in the breeze, and the aliens are hitting the beachside bar. This theme is continued in the game symbols, which include various coloured cocktails with alien eyeballs floating in them. Overall, the graphics are very fun and have a definite holiday feel, which is further enhanced by an upbeat pop mixed with alien synth soundtrack.

Beach Invaders bonus features

The Beach Invaders slot is home to several bonus features, including free spins. The other bonus features centre around the wild symbol, which can expand and add win multipliers to the board.

Free spins

Landing three of the game’s scatter symbol triggers the free spins round, giving you ten free spins. During this round, the shifting wild with an increasing multiplier will be in effect on the game grid. 

Expanding and shifting wilds with an increasing multiplier 

Any wild symbol landing on your grid during the base game and free spins round will grow to cover the entire reel. Given that wilds can substitute for all other symbols, this means you may be able to trigger more wins.

With each spin, the wild symbol will move one step to the left and one position up or down. Its movement is randomly determined by the game. Every time the wild moves, this will activate a win multiplier that increases by one each time. It starts at 1x and can increase to 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x.

If more wild multipliers appear on your board, they will be added together.

Locked wild progress bar

Above the reels, you will spot a progress bar. On each spin, you might spot an ice cube at the corner of any symbol apart from the wild and free spins scatter symbol. These ice cubes are gathered up and added to the progress bar. The number of milestones you reach tells you how many spins every expanded wild will stay locked on the reels for. There are four milestones on the progress bar, so you can grab up to four spins with the expanded wilds in place.

The progress bar is only active during the base game, not the free spins round.

Max-win 4,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 96.10%
