Tropical Tiki Review

Like most online slot veterans, we’ve visited the idyllic Polynesian islands many times in different games, and Pragmatic Play’s Tropical Tiki takes you on another trip to the Pacific paradise. The 6x3 grid is set in a lush jungle, but the light wooden symbol tiles block most of the view anyway. The jungle soundtrack adds to the lighthearted vibe, and you get a somewhat unusual tumble win system.

Instead of winning symbols being removed, the opposite happens, and this means that winning symbols accumulate at the bottom per tumble. The grid is expanded with 2 extra rows in the bonus round, and one random position on these rows are unlocked per spin. There is something hasty and unfinished hanging over this production, and the 3,000x potential is mediocre at best.

Tropical Tiki Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 0.4 and 2 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and there are no wild symbols in this game. However, the win system compensates for that, as all winning symbols accumulate at the bottom of the grid while the other symbols are removed. This process repeats as long as you improve upon the original win, or land new wins.

Scatters accumulate in the tumble sequences as well, and you need at least 4 in view to trigger the Bonus Round. This awards 8 free spins, and you also get an upfront scatter win of 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 30x or 35x your stake for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 scatters accumulated, respectively.

The grid expands to 6x5 in size in the bonus round, but the 2 top rows are blocked as the feature starts. You unlock 1 random position from the 2 top rows per free spin, and there are 12 locked positions in total. Only 8 of them will be unlocked however, since there is no way to win extra spins or retrigger the bonus round. This gives you 6,400 ways to win on the final spin.

If available in your jurisdiction, you can buy the bonus round for 100x your stake. This option is not available in the UK however, and you always get 4 triggering scatters when you purchase the feature. The spin comes without any tumbles as well, and the bonus buy option actually lowers the RTP by 0.20 %.

You get to see a bit of base game action, before we purchase the bonus round at 0:45 into the 2:43-minute highlights video. This gave us 4 scatters and 8 free spins, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

There was something about the tiles in this game that made the visual presentation look kind of amateurish. It doesn’t come across as something a veteran developer like Pragmatic Play would release in 2022, but here we are. The accumulation of winning symbols via the tumble mechanic is hardly new, but it’s not something you see too often either. It does make the base game more interesting than it would’ve been otherwise for sure.

The feature is also helpful in the bonus round, of course, but it’s kind of strange that it’s impossible to unlock all 12 positions. It doesn’t make any sense, and it adds to the amateurish vibe we picked up from this game. The paytable says you get up to 6,400 win ways at best, but we counted only 6,000 on the final free spin (again, a rookie mistake?). The 3,000x potential is decent, but lower than the usual 5K you get from this developer. Overall, a strange release that seems hastily put together.

If you appreciate Tropical Tiki Slot you should also try:

Tiki Infinity Reels Megaways - combines 2 of the most powerful engines in the world of online slots, namely infinity reels and megaways. You get a progressive win multiplier in all stages of the game, and the bonus round is your best shot at cracking the 10,000x potential.

TikiPop - is a volatile installment in AvatarUX’ PopWins mechanic range, and each win expands the grid. Max out the grid to get an x2 multiplier boost in the base game, and you get an uncapped progressive win multiplier in the bonus round. The max win is 32,000x your stake.

Tiki Runner 2 - Doublemax - is a Bulletproof Games follow-up release with a similar Polynesian theme, and the win multiplier doubles per cascading win. The doubling multiplier never resets in the bonus round, and this can lead to solid payouts up to 20,000x your stake.
