Bikini Party Slot
Bikini Party is a 5-reel slot game created by Microgaming that features a beach theme. This is exactly what one would expect from a game with this title. The main idea behind Bikini Party is to showcase scantily-clad women whose attire leaves precious little to the imagination.
Where the game itself is concerned, the 243 ways to win system replaces the traditional X number of paylines one. Bikini Party allows you to wager 10 coins for each spin, with the value of the coins varying between 0.01 and 0.50.
Bikini Party features some interesting symbols on its reels. One type of symbols that you will find here are those high cards – the Aces, Kings, Queens, Jacks, Tens, and Nines – that are included in every 9 out of 10 slot games. As you would also expect, you need 3 of a kind to form a winning combination.
The other category is what gives the slot its name. It consists of shapely women in bikinis playing beach volleyball. This group of symbols also requires 3 of a kind to be lined up on the reels for a win, with the exception of the two highest paying, which only require 2 or more.
There are two other symbols that fall into neither of those two groups and, of course, we are referring to the Wild and Scatter symbols. The Wild takes the form of the game’s logo and it can replace any other symbol to form a winning combination, with the exception of the Scatter. It only appears on the second and fourth reel. The Scatter symbol is represented by the volleyball that the girls were playing with. Hitting a few of those on a single spin will reward you with a round of free games.

Bonus Rounds and Features
The most iconic feature of this game is the ability to respin a single reel of your choosing. You can do this as many times as you like, although it will cost more after every time. If you change the size of your bet after a spin you cannot use this feature. This is an excellent addition to the game and it is a wonder that more titles do not include it. It gives the player a certain amount of control and it also gives you the chance to turn a near win into a win.
As we mentioned above the Scatter symbol gives you the chance to win several free games. This can happen whenever you hit 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels. You will be awarded 15 Free Spins that also come with a 3 times winnings multiplier. You can also trigger additional Free Spins from this round.
Conclusion
Overall, Bikini Party is an excellent slot for a certain kind of audience. It is quite clear that this game is not meant for everyone. Some may find the theme to be too gratuitous, others – too juvenile. Although, it can be argued that the strongest points of the game are not found in its aesthetic, rather in its features. The reel respin is not something that you see every day and it will make all the difference when it comes down to it. Our recommendation is that if you like the theme or do not mind it too much, that you try this game out as it certainly has some excellent additions to the genre.
