This game is a sister machine to Cypress Gardens, and it showed up only one month later. The major difference is Beach Time adds Magic Line F, so you could move all the numbers on the bingo card just like Sun Valley. The only other addition is the game lets you play coins/credits to try and improve your score before the 5th ball is shot. Cypress Gardens only let you try before the 4th using the stop and shop score booster feature. This game is basically the end of the evolutionary chain for magic square machines.
