Beach Bums Scratch Review
About Beach Bums Scratch
Scratch cards are fun to play, remember back in the day, when we stopped at the corner shop to buy milk, and picked up a scratchie for fun? Well now playing your favourite scratch card is much closer to home than even the corner shop, and have we got a fun filled game in store, which guarantees fun in the sun too. Beach Bums could be the game that sees you winging your way to a tropical holiday, with a top prize of a 50 x multiplier on a top wager of 100, which could lead to win of 5000 as a top prize.
Features
Set into a tropical seaside backdrop which includes two beautiful beach-ready bodies (fortunately no bums, but plenty of muscle) – one male and one female; there is an enchanting animated crab which scuttles across the screen behind all the action taking place. The beefy blonde surfer boy, complete with shark tattoo, encourages players to purchase a new card, while the blonde beach babe sexily waves an arm and blinks her eyelids.
A coin bet range of from 0.01 up to 50 makes this scratchie an easy play for fans of the games with many different sized bankrolls. Icons included thong sandals, coconut cocktails, buckets and spades, shells, a beach-ball and starfish. The highest paying icon is the pretty pink shell at x 50, while the thong sandals afford us regular wins of x 1.
Players are able to increase or decrease the size of their wager by clicking on the appropriate key, and are also able to see their balance (winning or otherwise), in the bottom right hand side of the screen. This reviewer could not find a way to switch of ambient sounds. But the sound of a steel bank playing in the background is not all that intrusive to the game as a whole.
Strategy
Scratch cards are not really games of strategy. They are random number games, and are in essence played for fun. Scratch the sun symbols to reveal beach-related icons and uncover prizes this way. Playing for a low wager guarantees hours and hours of fun, and the truly nice thing about this game is that it can be played for free first, until the player makes up their mind that they would like to play for real money.
Bonus Feature
There is no bonus feature in beach bums, but then again, it is a very simple game, and does not detract from that.
