Currently the Beach Life jackpot surpassed the staggering mark of £2.3 million (£2387,209 to be exact at the time of this article) and it is growing by the minute. It is expected the jackpot will trigger soon as it’s average win amount is £1.9 million, however the last win was just over one year ago – a win worth £890,145. On the other hand it could continue growing for quite a while because the largest amount the Beach Life jackpot has paid out in its history was £5.2 million!
If you aren’t already aware of how progressive jackpots work, it’s quite simple. The Beach Life online slot is available at all casinos powered by Playtech, including Bet365 Casino and Casino.com, and every time a real money spin occurs on it a percentage of the bet is taken by the casino and added to the jackpot amount – which grows until one lucky player wins it. After the Beach Life jackpot has been won the jackpot amount resets to £50,000 and then grows once more.
How to play Beach Life
Beach Life is one of the most popular online slot machines in the world and the theme, as you may have guessed, is all about life on a sunny beach. It contains 5 reels and can be played for up to 20 paylines, with a maximum bet of £10 available on every spin.
The main symbol to watch out for is the Sun, which is also the games Wild symbol substituting for all standard symbols, but more importantly if you land five Sun symbols on the same payline it sees your life change as you win the progressive jackpot. The Treasure Chest symbol is also important as it is required to activate the games bonus round, while the games Scatter is a Sandcastle and two or more sees you rewarded with a prize which is a multiple of your bet amount – though landing five can reward players with up to 500x the initial bet (£5,000 maximum). Other symbols you will find displayed on the reels include a Snorkeler (with 5 rewarding up to 500 coins), Woman Sunbathing, Surfer, Ice Cream, and Ice Lollies.
As previously mentioned, the Treasure Chest symbol is needed to activate the games bonus round, an infact three or more are required. It is a second-screen feature which is titled ‘Sunken Treasure’ and it provides players with the opportunity to select one of the Treasure Chest’s to reveal a winning prize – which is often generous, particularly the higher the stake being played.
