Wilds
The wild symbol is a piece of driftwood with a crab on it that gets washed to shore. It appears in all of the 5 columns except the 3rd, and it can also act as a substitute for every symbol except the scatters and Octopus wild.
Octopus Wild
The Octopus wild is a variant of the Driftwood wild, it only appears in the 3rd column and when it does an animated octopus moves around existing symbols to more favourable positions, resulting in more paylines.
Scatters
If 3 or more Message in the Bottle scatter symbols appear anywhere in the columns then Free Waves are activated. This bonus can be added to current Free Waves, resulting in more ‘free spins’.
Our verdict
Beach is an example of making a simple slot the right way. Chances are players might overlook it because of its simple design but if you take some time to give it a go then you’ll see why its so popular. There is a real depth to it and level of attention that really shines through from the symbol design to the bonus features.
