Summer Jam Review

If you missed summer festivals and concerts due to the current quarantine restrictions, then the Summer Jam slot from GameArt will compensate that for you. Here, you'll have a chance to jam along with the slickest dancers and best DJs at the most anticipated music festival in the world of online slot games, as well as spin up to four reel sets at a time and win epic rewards for the best dancing moves, so hop on the stage and partyyy!

Summer Jam - Slot Outlook

Loading the game will take players to a 5x3 reel set with 25 ways to play that is sitting in front of the DJ stage, surrounded by a crowd of dancing visitors. The entire screen is drenched in the light of projectors, and everything gets even brighter when you hit wins and bonus features. Design-wise, the Summer Jam slot is pretty lovely, yet it's the music theme that is the highlight here. A piece of techno electronic soundtrack plays whilst you spin the reels, and what a track it is. You just can't help tapping your foot to the pumping beat, especially when crunchy breakdowns come into play. We'd advise you to turn up the volume and simply lose yourself in the music, as Summer Jam has one of the most epic soundtracks ever designed for a slot game for sure.

Summer Jam Slot - Reel Screen

As we head over to the math model, we see that GameArt has done the balancing just right.

The volatility is medium, providing that wins occur fairly often, and the RTP of 96.08% is also decent, which is slightly above the average level. Additionally, the payback increases during the Bonus Buy feature, varying between 96.46% and 97.58% once enabled. As alluded to earlier, you are able to spin more than just one reel set at a time here, and a single one can pay up to 1,000x the stake on a single spin. However, the Free Spins can do much better since up to 4 reel setups are in play, where you can win up to 2,673.6x the stake. Meanwhile, players can place bets from $0.25 to $25 per spin, which should suit many.

The symbol collection in the Summer Jam slot includes 11 regular symbols, and those are split into highs and lows.

They start on the lower side with classic A-9 royals, and next are five cocktail symbols, each of different colors. In order to score a win, you'll need to land at least 3 matching symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel. The payouts are nice, with 5-of-a-kind low symbol wins awarding from 2x to 20x the stake, and premiums being worth from 24x to 40x the stake. There are also 4 different Wild symbols included, represented by dancing party-goers, which substitute for any other regular symbols to help you achieve wins.

Summer Jam - Bonus Features

There isn't a lot to see in the base game, as the Summer Jam slot revolves around the Free Spins feature. Look out for VIP tickets that are Scatters, as whenever 3 or more land anywhere in view, you'll receive 12 free games as well as a payout of 2x your bet.

Once triggered, a second reel setup will appear, and you can unlock more of those by collecting additional bonus symbols during the feature, as well as win Stacks of Sticky Wild symbols:

• 9 Bonus Symbols - unlocks reel set 3 and adds a Stack of Sticky Wild symbols on reels 5 of each grid.
• 14 Bonus Symbols - unlocks reel set 4 and adds a Stack of Sticky Wild symbols on reels 4 of each grid.
• 30 Bonus Symbols - adds a Stack of Sticky Wild symbols to reels 3 of each grid.

You can also access the free games via the Bonus Buy feature. You can skip the less exciting part and plunge straight into the action for the cost of 43x the stake, or start the bonus with at least the third reel set unlocking on the first spin for the cost of 250x the stake. Moreover, the RTP is increased during the Bonus Buy, up to 97.58%.

Summer Jam - Slot Verdict

One thing the Summer Jam slot definitely does better than the competition is providing a perfect music theme to accompany the gameplay. We know we praised GameArt for that epic soundtrack above, but man, this music is just unbelievable.

Anyway, back to the gameplay, it's not equally impressive. Well, the Free Spins feature is fun and exciting and most importantly can bring loads of cash, but you get nothing in the base game to amplify the experience. All up, Summer Jam is a decent slot, although there could have been more features included, and those who love electronic music should certainly give it a try.

• Free Spins played across 4 reel sets with Stacked Sticky Wild symbols
