Microgaming is especially good at giving pokies titles that promise more spectacle than it is really offered. This also applies to Spring Break. Spring Break is the spring break at American schools and universities.
American youth go wild during Spring Break. Especially in places like Daytona Beach, Miami Beach, Panama City Beach (Florida) and - as long as the wall of Trump is not there yet - Mexican seaside resorts such as Cancún.
At the Spring Break pokie, the most spectacular is the potential win you can take: up to 10,000 times your bet and in the bonus game even up to 30,000 times your bet. Furthermore, you have to make do with dated (and not too good) graphics and a little spectacular gameplay.
How does Spring Break work?
At Spring Break you set everything yourself: the number of paylines, the number of credits per payline and the bet per credit. This all gives you a bet range that starts $ € 0.01 per spin and goes up to a maximum of $ 45 per spin. The minimum bet with all paylines active is $ 0.09.
The symbols all have something to do with Spring Break. There are five high and medium win symbols. These are a student in the car, a vacationer drinking a beer on an air bed, some ladies tanning on the beach, a waitress with a cocktail and a barbecue. These symbols provide up to 750 times the bet per payline.
The low win symbols are the menu of the average American on a spring break: a fat burrito, an even fatter hamburger, a pizza generously topped with very fatty cheese, beer, ice cream and of course nachos with guacamole.
Gamble Feature
After each winning spin, you can cash in your winnings or get the gamble feature on. In this gamble feature, you can try to double or even quadruple your winnings.
You double up by betting on the colour of a card. Red or black, so you have a 50% chance. By betting on any card suit, you can try to quadruple your winnings. If you bet on hearts, diamonds, spades or clubs, you have a 25% chance.
Spring Break Symbol
The most lucrative and special symbol is the Spring Break symbol. It is the best paying symbol, Wild symbol and a multiplier in one.
Five times the Spring Break symbol on one of the active paylines means 10,000 credits, up to $ 10,000. The Spring Break symbol is also Wild. In that case, this symbol also doubles the winnings.
Suppose you have the beer drinker four times on the airbed and one Spring Break symbol, then you win 1,500 credits instead of the 750 that you would get without the Spring Break symbol.
Bonus Spins
What is spring vacation without a beach party? The Beach Party symbol gives you access to the bonus game. That is if you play at least three paylines.
You get 15 bonus spins. The winnings are doubled during every bonus spin.
That means that five Spring Break symbols yield spring vacation per payline instead of the usual 10,000 times.
What Does CasinoFisher Think of Spring Break?
Spring Break is a simple, lazy release of Microgaming. It seems they have not put a lot of effort into this pokie.
You play Spring Break, especially when you play to win and you are not interested in the rest. The payout percentage is OK with 96.1 per cent, while prizes of 20,000 times the bet per payline are a lot more spectacular than the visible part of the game itself.
Three stars out of five.
