Beach Invaders

The Beach Invaders slot from NetEnt is a playful, entertaining title based on aliens invading a beach and kicking back with some cocktails. As you’d expect from this top-quality software developer, the design within this slot game is flawless and the features, which all centre around the slot’s expanding wild symbols, can get you closer to the potential max win of 10,500x your bet.

Beach Invaders has a few bonus features to discover, all of which revolve around the game’s expanding wild symbols:

Every time a wild symbol lands on any of the five reels, it will expand to cover every position. This aids with the creation of winning combinations, either by substituting for symbols or resting wild wins.

Ice cubes will randomly cover symbols as they land on the reels. These symbols will be collected and fill the progress bar above the reels. Each step on the bar denotes how many spins and visible wilds will lock to the reels for. If you fill all four positions on the progress bar, you’ll get four locking spins. Here, the reels will respin four times with all wilds locking in place for the duration of the feature.

Three scatter symbols landing on the Beach Invaders reels will trigger the free spins feature. 10 spins are given here, and as well as expanding, all wilds will stay on the reels and move across with every spin, increasing a multiplier by 1x until they fall off the reels.

Released by iGaming giant NetEnt in August 2023, Beach Invaders is a fun slot themed around an alien invasion of a beach. Combining sci-fi and beach themes, the symbols include aliens in cocktail glasses while a beach paradise scene stands in the background. A playful soundtrack helps bring the slot’s design together nicely.

NetEnt is one of the biggest software developers in the competitive world of online slots thanks to titles like Beach Invaders as well as countless others, including Crab Trap, Golden Grimoire, and Big Bang Boom.

If you enjoy slots with a beach theme, some other great options to try are Pragmatic Play‘s Tropical Tiki, Mermaids Millions by Microgaming, and Spina Colada from Yggdrasil.
