Sam on the Beach Slot by ELK Studios

Free Spins and Respin Feature

If 3, 4 or 5 Bell symbols appear anywhere on the reels they will trigger 5, 10 or 15 Free Spins and if additional Bell symbols appear during the round they will add an additional Free Spin. During the round of Free Spins you can activate the Electric Treat Feature where each family member awards different bonus features if 3 or more of their symbols land on the reels:

• Sam - will turn a random symbol on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th reel into a Sticky Wild that stays on the reels until the end of the round
• Sandra -  will raise the multiplier up one to a maximum of x8 which remains until the end of the round
• Maggie -  will fire her harpoon towards the sea animal and Maggie symbols which will be replaced with new symbols to increase the chance of landing a win
• Ted -  will leave his radio on one of his symbols which will turn into a Sticky Multiplier of 2 or 3 which will remain in place until the end of the round

If you can get all of the family members to appear on adjacent reels along a horizontal line they will launch a Respin with 4 Sticky Wilds.
