Slot Review:
Summertime
You’ve heard of Christmas in
July… how about summer in the middle of the holiday season? It’s the
status quo for folks living south of the Equator, but the rest of us
will just have to make due with a little artificial sunshine. The
Summertime online slot game from Microgaming was a sweet,
superficial little taste of the warmest time of the year, just in
time for December’s chill. This fruit-themed punter was far from the
most-impressive game of its type that we had ever experienced, but
it certainly had charms in abundance… just like ripe fruit.
Summertime is a five-reel,
nine-payline online slot machine. Coin values start at one cent, and
go up to one dollar. You may wager forty-five coins at a time, for a
top wager of forty-five dollars a spin. The jackpot is ten thousand
coins, which makes the jackpot ten thousand dollars – maybe enough
to start your own fruit stand?
Colorful and juicy produce fills
the reels of this slot game. Strawberries, cherries, oranges,
lemons, melons, and plums look good enough to eat. There are also
BAR, bell, and lucky “7” symbols, in keeping with the theme of a
traditional slot game. You will notice the rhythmic and relaxing
sounds of the ocean in the background. The Summertime title logo is
both wild and the multiplier. After each winning combination, you
will be taken to a gamble bonus feature. You may pick a card color
and suit, or choose to bypass the gamble and keep your wins. If you
guess the color correctly, your win is doubled. Guess the suit
accurately, and see your booty multiplied by four!
