Summer Smileys

Theme

With the development of smartphones and the global epidemic of texting, one very important humanoid entered our lives – Smiley Face or simply Smiley. These yellow circles have evolved over the years, and now we have a face for every basic human emotion, not just happy or sad.

The Developer Mobilots decided to gather several of these yellow faces and put them on the beach.

When it comes to graphics and design…

…the developer did a stellar job! See – through reels are set against a blurry background with palm trees, crystal blue ocean, and long golden beaches. Like all summer inspired titles, the soundtrack is upbeat, with a Caribbean vibe.

Betting Options and Symbols

The slot grid consists of 5 reels, 3 rows, and 30 paylines. 

Players can set the number of preferred lines and set the coin size that goes from 0.10 $ up to 5 $.

AND…

…what about the symbols?!

The low – value icons consist of 6 beach-inspired items. Seashells, sandcastles and beach gear are all the things that remind us of the warmest season of the year, and in the case of this release, they are also at the bottom of the paytable.

There are also bored – looking emoji sunbathing on a green towel, confused emoji with snorkeling equipment and lifeguard emoji. The emojis will get you between 1.5 and 1.66 x total bet for landing the ultimate combination of 5 on the line.

The high – value icons are happy looking smileys. The one holding ice cream will get you 5.8 x total bet for 5 of a kind, while the female with a purple flower will award you with 8.33 x total bet for that same combination. The highest paying is another female smiley with a red hat and glasses. She will reward you with 16.7 x total bet if you manage to line 5 of them on the payline.

Special Features

Also on the reels are special symbols that trigger bonus features.

Represented by the Yellow surfboard is the Wild and it can replace any other symbol except Scatter. Every time it stops, it will expand to cover the whole column. 

Who doesn’t like a nice, refreshing cocktail or even better, a party at the beach?! Bonus icon or the Green cocktail has the power to unlock an extra game that offers instant money rewards. The only condition is to land 3 or more Green cocktails anywhere in the view.

There’s more:

If they’re lucky and 3 or more Scatters appear on the grid when the reels come to a stop, players will activate the Extra Spins feature. This icon appears in the form of big ocean waves. The number of additional rounds is determined by the number of Scatters landing on the grid. Players can trigger 5, 10 or 20 spins, and these are played automatically with the bet size with which they were won.

Conclusion

All in all, a great looking slot with standard bonus features.

There are not many releases with these humanoid creations as main characters. Combining them with a summer-themed game was a magnificent idea. The graphics and design are exceptional. The animated images are simple, yet effective. Special features are not unfamiliar to dedicated gamers, but extra spins are always appreciated. Also, instant money prize is an excellent addition.
