Play Baywatch for Free

Even if you do not consider yourself a big fan of the original show, you know that Baywatch is about Mitch Bucchanon and his team of lifeguards patrolling the beaches of Malibu in California. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Baywatch the slot game is taking place on a beautiful beach as well.

The transparent reels are floating over the perfect sand and tall waves crashing in the distance. Except for a few starfish and palms, the scenery is absolutely undisturbed. The bright red reel symbols are in the exact same shade as the iconic safety buoys that the heroes of the show used to carry around.

The command bar at the bottom of the screen is equally transparent, with sand-coloured buttons that blend in perfectly with the background. Baywatch clearly means to remind players of the cult series it was based on. The result is convincing, but not as visually impressive as in other games. Let’s see whether or not the gameplay has some truly innovative elements to bring forward next.

Baywatch was designed to be immediately accessible to all players, experienced or not. As a result, the game is based on 5 reels with only 9 paylines and an open gameplay. Players can use the arrow buttons in the command bar freely in order to select their wager and activate paylines to place it on.

Line bets as small as 0.01 credit are accepted, in cash you want to test the waters before diving in with a bit bet. The autoplay game mode will let you place the exact same wager over and over again with a single click.

Because of its low volatility, Baywatch requires patience until you can hit a big win – which is a little like having to watch all 242 episodes of the original series until you can enjoy the big finale. As for the basic paytable, it contains mostly the classic card icons and the occasional red buoy, for a maximum reward equivalent to 500 times your current line bet.

To give players a little boost, the Roundstone International team has added a few special symbols on the reels of Baywatch. Combinations of Aces on the reels, for instance, can trigger instant respins to and unlock an extra chance for a bigger win. Note that Baywatch does not have any wild card, just like any other game from the same developers.

The lifeguard icon is the Baywatch bonus symbol, with combinations worth up to x5000. Thanks to it, you will also gain access to the game’s bonus challenge, where you get to (virtually) try your swimming skills and unlock some extra cash prizes as you do so.

Baywatch is a simple slot game that will mostly please the fan of the TV series. The most iconic characters are absent from the reels, but your imagination should be able to fill in the blanks. On a side note, Baywatch is not as generous as many other Roundstone International slot games, including in the bonus feature.

Stay close to the sea and try Pirate Slot, another slot game from the same maker build on a similar gameplay and with big wins available in its treasure chests.
