Bikini Party Slot
The Bikini Party slot is a 5 reel and 3 row video slot from Microgaming which sits in its 243 Ways to Win range- which is where most of their premium slots like the Immortal Romance slot and Thunderstruck 2 live. It's a pretty standard looking slot featuring some pretty hot looking cartoon beach babes having fun on a beach. So look out for 5 girls in different coloured swimsuits. The chica in the red bikini is the highest payer. She'll pay out £1600 if you land 5 of her symbols across the reels on a £10 bet. Miss Orange Bikini pays out £1000, Miss Yellow £800 and so on. Because this is a 243 Ways to Win game, you just need one symbol per reel, going left to right- there's no need to line them up on pay-lines. Easy! The rest of the symbols are made up of the standard playing card symbols, A. K, Q, K, 10 and 9.

To work out the pay-outs, the best thing to do is to head into the pay-table (click the PAYS slider on the right of the game). Then, as you change your bet amount, the pay-outs will change accordingly. You can also play Bikini Party over at Betway Slots who have all of the top Microgaming games.
There's a Wild Symbol which is the Bikini Party slot logo and a scatter symbol which is the volley-ball. Get 2, 4 or 5 of these for 15 free spins. All wins are tripled and you also win a prize for getting in to the free spins, the more balls you have, the more you win (er, that sounded a bit ropey when I re-read it). All pretty standard stuff for a modern day slot. But Bikini Party does have one secret tucked into its bikini bottoms: the Re-Spin Feature.
The Re-Spin Feature on the Bikini Party slot is the big news story and a feature that we have had a certain amount of success with. Here's how it works:
At the end of each spin, you can opt to re-spin any reel as many times as you wish to try and drop in another win. There is an extra cost for this feature that is displayed on the reel.
Here's an example from the last time I played. I landed 4 10s and a Wild symbol on a £10 bet which paid out £40. I then decided to re-spin reel 2 for a 10 at a cost of £16.64. Another 10 dropped in, giving me an additional £40 win. Then I got 2 Miss Blue Bikinis on reels 1 and 2, so I decided to re-spin reel 3 which was only £1.63. She dropped in giving me a £4 win, so I then re-spun reel 4 at a cost of $13.68 (more expensive because the pay-out is higher). After 4 spins, a wild dropped in giving me a £40 pay-out (no profit on that on). I then chanced my hand on reel 5 to try for a 5 of the kind- re-spin cost £19.86. After 3 spins, she dropped in giving me a £200 win and a nice profit!
The key here, is to make sure you keep track of how much you are spending on re-spins. it pays to have a calculator beside you so you don't get lost! If the re-spin amount starts getting big (and it can if you are trying to complete a line of 5 symbols), the slot will prompt you - "Do You Really Want to Spend £314 on a re-spin!"
You can start building some nice wins up if your luck is in!
All in all, this is a great game- one of our favourites despite the somewhat dubious poses from some of the bikini girls. I mean the girl in green? She was obviously drawn by the same adolescent web designer who built the Playboy slot machine! (Another excellent game by the way).
But the Re-Spin feature is great - we really enjoy the variation you get with this. Just keep an eye on how much you are spending versus the pay-out. Keep a running total and set your spending limits. You can even Re-Spin in the free spins if you get 2 volley balls. We've done this when we have another set of symbols lined up to increase our odds of winning at least a consolation prize.
