About the Beach Boys Slot Games
The new video slot machine is a 5-reel, 1024-way (an incredible 1024 ways to win!) slot machine that captures the American band, The Beach Boys in a new light. Photos of the Wilson brothers – Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, and their band mates Mike Love and Al Jardin, who are the founding members of The Beach Boys, are displayed prominently on the machine. Aside from this, the machine also contains images of The Beach Boys’ Gold/vinyl records, equipment, and the band’s logo.
Players can win up to 50 free games by playing on the slot machine. To sweeten the deal for slot players and fans of The Beach Boys, the machine also features five of The Beach Boys’ greatest hits- ‘Fun, Fun Fun‘, ‘California Girls‘, ‘Dance, Dance Dance’, ‘I Get Around‘, and ‘Little Deuce Coupe’. The machine was showcased at the Indian Gaming Tradeshow and Convention 2012 in San Diego.
The video slot machine is the third in a series of slot machines based on pop culture from the parent company, Bally Technologies. The first slot machine in the series features the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. The game, which was launched in Las Vegas at the Global Gaming Expo last year, has been dubbed ‘part game, part concert’ by the industry. The machine also plays the late singer’s smashing hits such as ‘Dirty Diana’, ‘Bad’, ‘Smooth Criminal’, ‘Billie Jean’, and ‘Beat It’.
The second Beach Boys online slot is based on the popular 1978 musical ‘Grease‘, a timeless saga of two teenage lovers based in a 1950′s school. The ‘Grease’ slot machine is the company’s first double-play slot machine. It enables players to play two games (25-line) at once.
Beach Boys Slots Machine Progressive Jackpots
The video slot machine comes with five progressive jackpots. The gameplay is interspersed with clips of The Beach Boys’ music videos.
The Beach Boys series of video slot machines are modeled on the company’s Alpha 2 Pro Series V22/22 wheel cabinet. An added attraction is the integrated surround sound chair from the company’s Pro Series which offers a great musical experience. On each spin, one symbol is chosen and stacked four times. All symbols, except the wild symbol, are eligible for the stack feature. The stack feature increases the chances of hitting a winning combination.
The top award on the machine is an amazing 100,000 credits. The machine has an overall hit frequency of 26.57%. The lines have images of the individual band members. When you hit a winning combination, the characters ‘move’ as if to celebrate your success.
Bonus features on the Beach Boys video slot
The Beach Boys bonus feature gets unlocked when The Beach Boys symbol (logo) shows on the first, third and the fifth line. The top wheel contains twelve wedges. Five of these wedges contain images of The Beach Boys. Six wedges pay credits. These credit values range from 20,000 to 100,000 credits.
One of the wedges activates the U-Spin bonus wheel. The U-Spin bonus wheel contains only 5 progressive jackpots. If you reach this stage, you are guaranteed of a win. When the wheel stops on the Record Reveal wedge, an album by The Beach Boys appears on the screen and the player wins a huge credit award. If the arrow stops on a Video Reveal, a video by The Beach Boys appears and again the player wins credit.
To spin the U-Spin Wheel, a player has to touch and drag an interactive wheel located on the touchscreen. In time, the wheel stops spinning. Depending on where the arrow stops, players stand to win jackpots, free games, and credits. Note that the 5 all-progressive bonus wheel jackpots can be won at any bet level.
About The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys were a five-man, iconic rock band from Hawthorne, California. The band was formed in 1961 and consisted of Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks. The Beach Boys are often called ‘America’s first and best rock band‘. The band signed up with Capitol Records in 1962. But Capitol Records wasn’t the first record group to release the group’s work. That honor goes to Candix, a Los Angeles based imprint, which released their first chart-topping single Surfin’ USA.
The Beach Boys’ studio albums like Little Deuce Coupe (1963), Pet Sounds (1966), and Still Cruisin’ (1989) have gone Platinum. Platinum is a RIAA certification for albums that have sold 1 million units. Thirteen of their albums, including four live albums, attained Gold (500,000) units. They also made five music videos.
For their immense contribution to music, The Beach Boys achieved the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. They even have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Brian Wilson was the only member of The Beach Boys who regularly surfed.
The Beach Boys 50th anniversary
The Beach Boys are coming together this year to celebrate their 50th anniversary in the music industry. The new slot machine from Bally Technologies seeks to commemorate the occasion and remind people why The Beach Boys’ music still endures in our age.
