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!
