According to online casinos such as Casino Plex, players are flocking to these sites in a bid to get their hands on the nearly $5 million that is currently being offered as top prize on the game. To win the prize on this fun-themed game, players need to line up five sun symbols on a twenty line wager.

“Ever since the jackpot climbed above four million dollars for Beach Life, we've been buzzing about how it might end up being the largest ever hit at Winner Casino,” said Tim Hammond, ofWinner Casino. “Indeed, now one lucky player is guaranteed to become the biggest winner ever. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind all our players that millions more can also be won playing other progressive slots games at Casino.Winner.com including Gold Rally and the increasingly popular Marvel slots.”

Since the jackpot hasn’t been hit on Beach Life slot game in a long time, it could be any day now that one lucky player walks away with $5 million!
