21st of June marks the Summer Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere… so sorry Australian readers, we know you’re in winter but… read this post to day dream of summer to come?
The point is, it’s one of the best excuses we can find to put together a list of the best summer slots you should be playing on your mobile phone and tablet. Now the weather is starting to turn for the better, we should all be outside, lounging in the sun, playings slots on mobile.
Ok maybe that’s not the best scenario, but let’s be honest; no matter how long a holiday you are thinking of having, most of us still need to do our 9-5 commute or go home and escape from the day to day grind. And nothing will make us happier than some sunny mobile slots.
Our Criteria
Needless to say, this best of slots list is ALL about the theme. But if they are naff to play what would be the point? So we went through all of our 285 mobile slot reviews and decided to get picking from any slots that got at least a rating of 3 stars (paws) upwards.
The first slots we decided against were underwater themed slots. Sure, they are usually bright tropical slots, but lets be honest… a mermaid or dolphin’s kingdom is going to look similar whether winter or summer. The theme had to refer to the day to day holiday sun that happens during those long summer months.
Then we started debating slots with far away exotic lands. Asian slots with blooming cherry blossoms or a blazing Egyptian sun… aren’t they where we would dream of spending our summer vacation? Maybe. But ultimately they don’t represent summer so much as a culture or country. Plus cherry blossoms bloom in April/May anyway.
It also couldn’t be anything fantastical or fairy like. Have you ever seen a fairy kindgom in winter? No. Because fairies live in eternal sunshine land and wouldn’t know the difference between the seasons if the sun came down and gave them a lesson about the earth’s maximum axial tilt.
The top 8 summer slots for mobile
Once we removed all the non-summer themed slots, we were left with only… 8 video slots. 8 we would play and 8 we would be happy to recommend. So here is our list from ‘yeah, why not, I’ll play’ to ‘YES! BRING ME SUNSHINE! BRING ME SLOTS!’
We get very passionate about these things.
8. Doctor Love on Vacation
We start with cheesy smiles and bright red tan lines, in this colourful slot by NextGen Gaming. A mix match 5 reels and 20 paylines game, Dr Love on Vacation slot is not complicated, but is fun thanks to it’s 20 free spins with a 3x multiplier. There’s a chance to win more than your budget, but this is here purely to entertain you.
In one sentence: The Doctor is in the house for some hot sunny love injections.
7. 1Can 2Can
Those bright toucans on the reels fly from the side of the screen to give you multiple random wilds throughout your games. 1Can 2Can is all about beautiful waterfalls and bright fruits in a land that knows how to celebrate the best of summer. With a 500x your bet maximum payout, this 25 paylines video slot will bring a dash of the exotic to your summer day.

6. Spring Break
Duuuude!! Let’s party!! Or in this case, fill your face full of nachos, beer and suspicious looking hot dogs. Celebrating that time when you got so drunk you puked in that guys pool once, this Americana themed slot may not be the most impressive in looks and sounds, but don’t be deceived. With only 9 paylines, Microgaming’s Spring Break packs a punch and has some impressive wins available.
In one sentence: A slot often ignore but in need of reviving, this old corn dog still has some air in it’s inflatable rubber ducky ring.
5. Alaskan Fishing
One for the boys as they day dream of crisp sharp mornings wrestling bears and fighting the current to catch those bright pink salmons. Alaskan Fishing bonus games are both fun and light, with a click me bonus that’s decent and 15 free spins with a 2x multiplier. Much like the sport it’s theme is based on, it’s a relaxed slot with plenty of smaller wins to keep your budget going as you wait for the once in a lifetime 50 pounder. Or in this case the 121,500 in cash.
In one sentence: 243 ways to relax to the sound of the wild northern American landscapes.
4. Super Safari
Don’t let the cutsey theme fool you. Super Safari mobile slot is far more suited for players with a little experience and who know how to handle their bank roll. With plenty of features to keep you entertained, from expanded wilds to free re-spins to click me game, it’s the free spins that make all the difference in the end. You’ll be chasing those super spins and 5x multiplier throughout the African planes.
In one sentence: This wild beast has claws, so watch your budget as you hunt down your prize lion win.
3. Beach Babes
Surprised to see this 25 payline video slot so far up/down the list? A perfect theme for summer, that’s not the only reason we fell in love with these hotties in bikinis. There’s a 6x multiplier with free spins that can go up to 30 in numbers AND the wild has a 2x multiplier attached to it throughout the Beach Babes game.
In one sentence: They are not complicated girls but they have all the right assets to keep you spinning.
2. Hot Cross Bunnies
How is this summer time fun I hear you ask? Well, it’s about hot angry rabbits sitting on a tropical island. Haven’t we all felt the burden of being too hot and angry about it? Is there anything cuter than these bunnies? See. It works. Hot Cross Bunnies may seem a little odd, but as an introduction to classic slots, you couldn’t choose better. 1 payline with nudges, holds and random instant cash wins, this is perfect summer fun.
In one sentence: Perfect for beginners of the game who love cuteness and randomness.
1. Mega Fortune
Bet you were wondering where all the NetEnt slots got to hey? Well, this is the only one with a summer slot theme from this casino provider, and it’s no wonder it’s at the very top of our list.
Even if we removed the progressive jackpot and looked at Mega Fortune slot by it’s features… it’s still a great fun entertaining game. It has a wild with a 5x multiplier! It has free spins that hit often! You can get extra free spins and multipliers during the free spin rounds themselves! And easily too! Yeah!
But we cannot ignore the progressive jackpot and we wouldn’t want to. Often going into the millions, it’s made more millionaires than we can count. It’s not complicated or even visually enthralling, but it’s easy on the eye and brings the perfect mix of entertainment and thrill.
Add some boat time fun and flowing champagne on what we can only assume is the port of St Tropez and you can day dream your way to a summer where you win the jackpot and mix with the high class crowd in the French Riviera.
You can play Mega Fortune at all good NetEnt casinos, but we recommend Vera & John who give Lucky mobile slot readers and exclusive 10 free spins no deposit and a higher deposit bonus of 100% up to £$€500.
