Spina Colada Slot Review

What better feeling can there be than to sit back and relax on a tropical beach with a delicious cocktail to hand. That is the feeling that Yggdrasil are trying to recreate with this innovative slot, which begins with a movie quality intro and doesn’t let up from there. This tropical treat is packed full of more ingredients than the most extravagant mixed beverage, and boasts some fantastic extra features. The slot takes us to a tropical beach hut, palm trees and blue skies in the background. On the reels the highest value symbols are a trio of delectable cocktails, with sliced fruits making up the minor symbols. The reels are flanked by four boards displaying different messages, but we’ll come to those later.

Fizzing with Fun

There is nothing basic about the base game of Spina Colada, as there is a whole lot going on. Most importantly, when you score a winning payline – one of 25 from left to right – the winning symbols freeze inside cubes of ice, and the remaining symbols spin again. If you have played Jack Hammer you will be familiar with the concept. Add more of the same symbol to get more respins, and ideally you will fill up the entire board. The Spina Colada logo is wild, and this changes to whichever symbol it replaces. So with a base game replicating the popular Jack Hammer, Gonzo’s Quest and Wild Chase slots, what more do you need? Well it turns out there are plenty of other ingredients to be added to this particular cocktail.

Boozy Features

There are 4 different features which can be randomly triggered at any point in the base game. When this happens, it also gives you a feature bottle cap that’s added to those boards at the side of the reels. Those features are as follows:
  • Second Chance: 1 or 2 symbols are added to your original spin to guarantee a win. Then during the respin function if you fail to land additional matching symbols you get another second chance spin.
  • Full Line: If this one randomly appears you are guaranteed to get a 5 symbol winning payline.
  • Guaranteed Win x3: This feature keeps spinning those reels until you land a winning payline. When the winning line appears, you get a win with a x3 times multiplier.
  • Extra Wilds – 1 wild is added to the 2nd and 3rd reels and you get an extra chance to find another wild symbol to complete a winning payline.
As we said, for each of those features you collect bottle caps for one of the boards marked with the feature in question. When you collect four caps a new screen opens where you get free spins with the unlocked feature in operation for all of them. You can’t retrigger during the free spins, but what an opportunity to top up your wins!

Summary

This game truly is the slot game version of a cool, refreshing drink on a sweltering summer day. Pina Colada is packed full of features, and just keeps you spinning those reels to try and fill up the feature meters.
Another smashing success from the innovators at Yggdrasil, who deserve a resounding ‘Cheers!’ for this one.
