Bikini Party Microgaming Slot Game
We’re starting to think that the designers at Microgaming may still be on their Christmas break, as the last few releases from the company have certainly not set the world alight when it comes to looks! That continues here on Bikini Party, which utilises fairly basic cartoon graphics and the good old playing card icons to illustrate the action. However, as we always say, there is much more to a good slot than great visuals and we’re more concerned with the quality of the gameplay, so let’s see if this slot can overturn the first impressions and instead make for a welcome addition to the world’s biggest range.
243 Ways to Win
Bikini Party certainly gets straight to work on rectifying the bland visuals by dropping in 243 ways to win on a standard board. The betting system is not the rare treat that it once was but it certainly still manages to stand out and demonstrates that there is certainly potential to this game. Aside from the themed symbols and playing card icons, the game also boasts the Bikini Party logo as the wild card and it is joined as a special symbol by the volleyball scatter.
What sets the base game apart from many other slots is the inclusion of the respin feature, perhaps most commonly associated with Retro Reels – Extreme Heat. Following a spin, players are given the opportunity to respin certain reels as they look to improve their prize. This bonus comes at a cost and the more likely that it is to make a win, the more it will cost to make use of the feature. Used correctly, it can be a real difference maker, but it can also lead to a slippery slope as players chase a win that doesn’t want to come!
Bikini Party Free Spins
The developer has stuck with old faithful as far as bonuses are concerned and the feature round of choice here is free spins, accessible when landing three or more volleyball scatters in view at the same time. Doing so will award fifteen free games with all prizes multiplied by three compared to the base game. Landing three or more scatters during the bonus spins will also boost the number of free spins by a further fifteen.
It would appear that Microgaming is going through a bit of a lean spell creatively at the moment, although that can be forgiven when you consider that the company continues to commit to the most aggressive release schedule around. Bikini Party is far from being the best slot in the world but if you fancy something new that sticks to some of Microgaming’s best-known features and bonuses, this can be a fun way to enjoy them.
