Beach Life

5-Reel 20-line Progressive Single -Coin Slots

The object of Beach Life is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.

To play the game:

• Choose your paylines. You can click the Bet button to add a payline, or use the coloured buttons on both sides of the reels. Whenever you select a higher payline, you'll also select all the lower ones (i.e., if you activate payline 18, paylines 1 through 17 will be active as well). You can also click Bet Max to activate all the paylines and spin the reels.
• The amount of money you bet on a game round is the coin size multiplied by the number of active paylines.
• Click Spin (if you did not press Bet Max) to spin the reels.
• If the reels show a winning combination after they stop (along a payline you bet on), you win according to the winning table. Click the Paytable button to see the paytable, if you wish. Close the paytable by clicking the Back button. If you win on multiple paylines simultaneously, your winnings are added up.

Paylines:

Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. You can activate paylines and see their shape by progressively clicking the Bet button.

Please note: You only win if a combination occurs on an active payline, and is made up of consecutive symbols starting from the leftmost reel. The Scatter symbol is an exception to that rule. Read more about the Scatter symbol below.

Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the coin size, not the line bet. If you get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.

About payouts:

Payouts are listed on the Paytable screen. To find the possible win amount, multiply the coin size by the payout.

If two winning combinations occur on the same line, the higher of them is paid out. If more than one active payline has a winning combination, the winnings are added up.

The Wild symbol can stand for any other (except Scatter and Bonus), to make the best possible winning combination. There is also a separate payout for several Wild symbols on an active payline.

Progressive jackpot:

Jackpot

One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).

After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.

Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.

Please note:

• In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
• If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
• If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.

The Jackpot for this game works like this:

Seed (how much money the Jackpot starts out with):	100 000 x coin size
Contribution rate (what percentage of each bet goes into the Jackpot):	3 %
Win condition (the result you have to get to win the Jackpot):	Five wild symbols on the 20 th payline (it must be active).
Win requirements (what you need to do to be eligible for the Jackpot):	Play for max bet.

You can see the current jackpot amount at the top of the game screen.

Scatter symbol

The Scatter symbols do not have to occur on a particular payline - if there are two or more of them visible on the game screen, you get an additional win. The payout for scatter symbols is multiplied by your total bet and added to any active payline wins you may have.

Bonus symbol

When you get three or more consecutive Bonus symbols on an active payline, starting from the leftmost reel, you are taken to the Bonus round. There, you get to choose as many prizes as you had bonus symbols. Each prize is a different amount.

Slot Machine Variants

Below is a brief explanation on every type of slot machine:

3-Reel Standard Slots - these are the most usual slot machines. You bet a certain amount, then spin the three reels and depending on the outcome of the spin, you either win or lose.

3-Reel Max Bet 2 Slots - these machines allow you to bet the maximum of two coins, not three as in Standard Slots.

Progressive Jackpot - a progressive jackpot means that a certain percentage of every bet goes into the progressive jackpot pool. You win the jackpot by obtaining a very high symbol combination, usually only when playing for maximum bet.

Bonus Game - machines that have a Bonus Game require you to obtain a special symbol combination, or collect certain symbols. When you do, you will enter a bonus round, with special prizes waiting for you. Please note that in some games you have to play for maximum bet to qualify for a bonus round.

3-Line and 5-Line Slot Machines - here you specify your bet per payline, and the paylines on which you bet. A payline is the line along which Your total bet is then line bet x number of lines selected. 3-Line Slots have 3 lines for you to choose between, and 5-Line slots have 5.

Multiline Slots - same as above, only these machines have more than 5 lines, usually 8 or 9.

3-Row and 5-Row Multispin Slots - this is the giant leap for slot machines. In multispin slots, after the first spin you choose which reels you want to hold, then spin the rest of the reels again. 3-row and 5-row mean you have 3 or 5 rows of reels, like in multiline video poker you have multiple hands.

 

The Autoplay feature offers you two modes of autoplay - simple and advanced. In simple mode you can set the number of rounds to play. In advanced mode you can set stop conditions such as overall win or loss in addition to the number of rounds to play. Autoplay is available on games which do not require the player to make decisions, such as various slots.

How to use Autoplay

Select the desired coin size, the number of coins to play and activate the paylines. When you do not select those, then Autoplay will automatically use the maximum number of coins and activate all paylines.

To start playing, click on Menu and select Autoplay. The Autoplay option bar appears on the bottom of the window.

In the simple mode you can set the number of spins only.

• Number of spins. Enter the number of rounds you would like to play automatically. Autoplay will stop when that number is reached.

Click on the double left arrow button on the left side of the main Autoplay option bar to enter advanced mode. Autoplay side-bar appears with additional options for Autoplay.

• Stop conditions. These are the events which will cause Autoplay to stop even if the number of spins has not been exceeded. Check the box next to the condition to enable it.
  • Jackpot win. Autoplay will stop if the player wins the Jackpot.
  • Single win more than. Autoplay will stop if the player wins more than the set amount in a single spin.
  • Overall win more than. Autoplay will stop once the player wins more than the set amount. You can enter either a win amount, or an overall balance result - the other field will be adjusted accordingly.
  • Overall loss more than . Autoplay will stop once the player loses more than the set amount. You can enter either a loss amount, or an overall balance result - the other field will be adjusted accordingly.
• Delay between spins. This option determines the time frame between each spin.

To revert back to simple mode, click on the double right arrow button on the left side of the main Autoplay option bar.

After you've entered the number of spins and set the stop conditions (when in advanced mode), click Play to start Autoplay. The Play button changes into the Pause button for the duration of play. Note that It is not possible to change the number of spins or stop conditions while Autoplay is playing. In order to make those changes, the Autoplay has to be paused. Click the Pause button to do so.

Please note that if Autoplay interrupted for any reason, the Number of spins field will show the leftover spins from last time; you will have to click Play to resume Autoplay.

For example, let's say you set Autoplay to 100 spins and an overall win of $25. It takes 17 spins, but finally the winnings reach that amount. Autoplay stops. Now, the Number of spins field will show 83. Of course, you can change the number of spins again.

To close Autoplay and continue playing manually, click the Stop button on the main Autoplay option bar.

Player input

Autoplay allows you to minimize the window and play other casino games or work on your computer while it's running. However, you do need to pay attention to the game from time to time. Slot games have bonus rounds, and if such a round comes up, Autoplay will pause and wait for you to make a decision.
