Summer Vibes Accumul8

Who isn't looking for a beach location for the summer? It doesn't get much better than laying in the sun with the sound of sweet right breakers, melting ice cream and that bittersweet smell of sunscreen. It can get even better if you add winning cash prizes to the mix, and that's why we are bringing to you Summer Vibes Accumul8^TM,. This is one of the newest online slots available to play here using the Anywhere Pays mechanic, making for unique iGaming, while a free spins feature can see wins accrue multipliers up to 250x your stake. Are you ready to catch a wave to gnarly jackpots?

We have to say that even though the theme of Summer Vibes Accumul8^TM is a little cheesy, it brings back all the memories of a summer holiday. Cruising around in flip-flops breathing in the salty air, tanning all day long! Light and Wonder is the online casino games studio that created this release, and you might recognise the name as a studio going to online slot games using unique mechanics. With Cluedo Mighty Ways, it tried to rival the Megaways mechanic for how many paylines can be squeezed into six reels, while Summer Vibes Accumul8^TM uses the Anywhere Pays system, which instead of needing icons to line up on paylines, just requires eight or more of the same symbols appearing anywhere on the reels on the same spin.

There are six reels in Summer Vibes Accumul8^TM with five reels, which you'll find a larger than usual grid but is needed to ensure enough of the same icons land on the same spin. To the game's credit, it does give off a flashy impression, but underneath that is a maximum win amount of only 2,400x your stake, which doesn't come close to the 20,000x and higher we're seeing from new online slots at our casino site. All CA players are different, and so Light and Wonder have made the stake window pretty wide. The smallest possible stake is 0.10, with options all the way up to the maximum of 100.

Looking at the symbols, we can say that there is nothing that should confuse or be out of the blue for CA players. The lower-paying icons are all ice creams, with the chocolate one returning the most for a winning combination. The more valuable symbols, that aren’t actually too much of a jump in value from the ice creams, are beach objects in flippers, swim shorts, a wide-brim hat and a bucket and spade.

There isn’t a wild symbol that can land, and this is probably because there aren’t any paylines due to the Anywhere Pays. However, there is a scatter being the sun, and a beachball can fall during free spins.

When it comes to the bonus feature, things are done much the same as in most online slot machines. Landing 3, 4, 5 or more scatter symbols will trigger a free spins round. Landing 3 scatters awards ten free spins, 4 scatters awards 15 free spins, and 5 or more scatters 20 free spins. Landing 2 or more scatters during the feature will see a minimum of 3 extra spins added and a maximum of 15 spins.

Anywhere Pays means cascading reels, so a win basically means a respin is triggered. During the free spins a beachball with a multiplier value of between 2x and 250x can land on the reels. If it does it remains in place through any cascading sequences and is then applied to the overall win. More than one beachball means all possible multipliers are added together.

It’s a pity that there is no wild symbol in Summer Vibes Accumul8^TM, because though there aren’t paylines, a wild would have allowed players to land wins more easily. Other online casino games easily add more value to their game with the presence of an extra wild. However, the free spins feature does its job quite well, while the multipliers in the bonus will see wins reaching a potentially epic level. Don't forget about the summer beach feel that will make wins that much more satisfying.
