Summer Splash - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Spinomenal’s Summer Splash is a cheerful slot with a cartoonish Caribbean setting -you will find yourself expecting SpongeBob and Patrick to pop up at any minute! You can generally rely on Spinomenal slots to deliver the goods whatever path the designers have chosen to pursue, whether something frivolous such as Summer Splash or something rather more design-heavy such as Spinomenal's Tigers Charms slot. 

Summer Splash uses a five-reel grid with three rows and 25 paylines. There are five high-paying symbols - the wild, which is a pair of cherries; diamond; lucky seven; bar and bell - and five low-paying symbols - the watermelon, banana, orange, lemon and coconut. Amongst its extra features is the always welcome free spins slot bonus.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

Summer Splash is ostensibly a fairly standard slot that owes a debt to classic three-reel fruit machines, not least due to its choice of symbols. With five reels, it offers many more permutations, which is when you start to realise there is more to it than is immediately obvious. 

The beach background is drawn in bold, simple shapes with a large bright sun and palm trees. What strikes you as rather odd is that the background is entirely coloured in browns, yellows and oranges. Where is the cool blue sea? The designers have clearly made a decision not to risk clashing colours, but this makes the Caribbean sea look as if it has suffered a major spillage of some kind. This peculiar choice aside, the cartoon fruits are good value: the orange, lemon and banana look ready for a good time, the watermelon is laidback and cool, and the cherries and the coconut seem rather annoyed by something. A nice bit of personality has been injected into these very standard icons.

Summer Splash RTP and variance

Summer Splash has an RTP of 95.06 per cent, which is lower than the average for this type of game. The variance is medium.

Summer Splash bonus features

Win multiplier

A multiplier may appear whenever you land a winning combination. Any winnings in the current game will then be multiplied by the value of the multiplier. This applies during the base game only.

Extra wilds

While the reels are spinning, it is possible that up to eight wild symbols could appear to increase the chance of landing a winning combination. Wilds can multiply the winning line by 2x or 3x.

Triggering bonus

When a bonus symbol lands on a reel, it will light up the reel. If you light all five reels, you will trigger a bonus game. Once a bonus reel lights up, the bonus value of the current round will be saved. The average figure of all five reels will be used as the base for the winning multipliers in the bonus round and will be applied as the bet value in the free spins. This applies during the base game only.

Bonus game

Click the spin button to spin the bonus wheel. You can collect wins and extra free spins on every spin. Once you have used all the spins, you will be awarded the sum of the wins collected and the combined number of free spins you received.

Free Spins re-spin feature

During the free spins, any new winning combination will trigger a re-spin feature. All winning combinations will stay in place and the non-winning symbols will be removed and replaced with new symbols. Any new symbols that complete or add to a winning bet line will stay in place and the game will re-spin. The re-spin continues until no further winning combinations can be formed. The game pays only for the final re-spin.

Summer Splash review: our verdict

If you are looking for a break from some of the heavier-looking slots with their themes of murder, mayhem, monsters and magic or the ones that rely on action heroes, Summer Splash might be just the game for you. It looks supremely silly, but in a good way, which makes even the cod-calypso soundtrack bearable. This slot is good, clean fun.
