Instant play game: Summer Cookout
Now is the time of year just about everyone wants to spend relaxing and enjoying some tasty treats to their own summer soundtrack. Summer Cookout is where you can do just that. Fireworks and kettle grills abound; this game is a great way to turn free time into a potential fortune. Lay out the blankets and unpack the folding chairs as you get ready for the spectacle. With overall odds of winning coming in at 1 in 40.68, players have a chance of walking away with a prize. The game’s top prize weighs in at $60,000.
How to play
Summer Cookout is played with multiple tickets at once, where a player must commit to buying at least five to begin a game. Fortunately, ticket prices are about as cheap as you’ll find anywhere when you want a good time on a budget. On the other hand, ticket prices can reach right into high-roller territory when you want to try for a bit of high-risk, high-reward instant winning.
Adjusting ticket values and the number of tickets is easy. Do so by using the “select tickets” and “ticket cost” sliding scales. Players can purchase anywhere from five to 20 tickets per game at prices ranging from $0.05 each to $2 each. This way, players with any sized budget can enjoy the experience Summer Cookout offers.
When players are ready to start revealing what tasty dishes are sizzling in this game’s grills, they can click the play icon to the right of the game screen. Each symbol position can be clicked to reveal the item hidden inside, or the players can click “play” again to reveal all symbols at once.
There’s no need to match any symbols in this game, as any food item that sits on a plate styled after the Star Spangled Banner is a winner. Meet these conditions to receive the prize displayed, instantly. In addition to the standard game and its prizes, there are three bonus features that can provide players with extra rewards. The first bonus feature is the cookie box, which will reward players with an instant win of any prize amount inside. Fireworks are scattered throughout the game board and will provide players a guaranteed prize in the Firework Frenzy bonus if they can match five in a single round. Finally, the Sundae Delight bonus will reward players with a prize amount for each of the six sundae recipes they can complete. Unlock the bonus and match ice cream flavors to compete a sundae recipe.
