Island Vacation Introduction
Wave your troubles goodbye and take a well-deserved trip to a balmy tropical island with Casino Technology's exotic pokie. Island Vacation is a tropical island themed game, featuring a standard five-reel layout. There are three colourful vacation-themed symbols on each reel, and plenty of chances to win major cash prizes with every spin. The game's background is a deep blue tropical ocean scene, complete with colourful fish.
The gaming area itself is a riot of colour and will brighten up even the dullest of days. The symbols are a mix of traditional playing cards (nines, tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces) and exotic fish, oysters, holiday accessories and a handful of other characters. The sound effects that accompany the game are fairly basic, meaning there's no annoying noise to distract you from the fun of playing Island Vacation.
The tropical island style music is simple and inoffensive, and sound effects are played as the reels finish spinning and settle into position.
Playing the Game
Unlike most other pokies, there is an intriguing Game Style option when you first access the game. You can choose whether you want to play Easy, Soft, Smooth, Smart or Hard, giving you the chance to customise your gaming experience. The next pop-up you see will invite you to select your coin denomination. Once you've done this, it's into the main game screen to get started.
The handy Game Menu button lets you access the game controls in one convenient window. First, select how many lines you want to play, then choose your bet size. The maximum bet is 500 coins, and you can change your coin size on the main game screen.
If you fancy fast, exciting gameplay, clicking the Auto Play button in the Game Menu screen lets you choose how many spins you want to automatically set in motion. Keep clicking the button to cycle through the available options.
Special Features
Island Vacation's Wild Card symbol is a cheerful vacationer with a diving mask, and this symbol will substitute all others except for the oyster and pearl symbol. Look out for the Wild Card, as hitting multiple symbols can net you huge cash prizes! The oyster and pearl is the game's Scatter symbol. It can net you the biggest prizes when it appears in free games, so keep an eye out for this one, too.
If you're lucky enough to trigger the special game feature, you'll be taken to a separate screen where you'll have the chance to double your winnings. You can, of course, decide to hold onto your winnings if you prefer. If you choose to gamble, you'll be given the chance to pick which suit of cards you think the next displayed card will be from, or to choose whether you think it will be red or black.
You can multiply your winnings here, adding lots of excitement to the game - but remember that if you make the wrong choice, you'll lose your cash!
