Flaming Tiki Slot by High Limit Studio 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Flaming Tiki Review

When you call yourself High Limit Studio you’re setting the bar kind of high for yourself, and it will be expected that you can deliver the goods. Flaming Tiki does not really live up to the name of this studio, as it’s a 9 Masks of Fire copycat. Granted, the budding Games Global partner has raised the stakes a bit by increasing the overall max win to 6,000x your stake, and they have also adjusted the volatility down to low.

In theory, this makes Flaming Tiki a more attractive game based purely on the math model, but we hardly believe it will dethrone 9 Masks of Fire. You get instant Epic Strike prizes up to 2,000x your stake as in the original game, and the bonus round also comes with the usual x2 or x3 win multiplier. The fiery Tiki theme reminded us of the original game as well, and we hope High Limit Studio attempts to carve out their own niche and path in the future.

Flaming Tiki Slot Features

The 3 premium symbols, consisting of single, double, and triple lucky number 7s, pay between 3.25 and 37.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The ‘W’ Wild symbol can appear anywhere to step in for pay symbols, and this will help you complete and/or improve wins. The Wild pays for combinations of 3 to 5 on the same payline as well, and 5 wilds on the same payline is worth 125x your stake.

The Tiki symbol is the Epic Strike symbol in this game, and you need at least 3 anywhere in sight to win an Epic Strike instant prize. More precisely, landing 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 Tiki symbols awards 1x, 5x, 15x, 40x, 100x, 500x, or 2,000x your stake, respectively, and this can happen both in the base game and in the bonus round.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 free spins symbols anywhere in view, and you start by getting a spin on the Free Spins Wheel. You also win 1x your stake up front, and the free spins symbols can land on the 3 middle reels only. You will get between 10 and 30 free spins, and 25 and 30 free spins goes together with an x3 win multiplier. Otherwise, you get an x2 win multiplier, but either way it does not apply to Epic Strike instant jackpots.

Review Summary

We have seen countless 9 Masks of Fire clones by now, so it’s getting harder and harder to be excited about a new one. Studios should really consider doing something different with the concept by now. Some studios do this, of course, but the budding Games Global partner, High Limit Studio, has only made a few changes to the math model. Flaming Tiki even comes with a similar fiery theme with masks, and we don’t see Gameburger shaking in their pants over this copycat effort.

You can land instant Epic Strike prizes up to 2,000x your stake in all stages of the game, same as in the original game, and there are more lucrative alternatives out there for sure. Still, it keeps the tension up, since larger wins can come out of the blue. The bonus round comes with an x2 or x3 win multiplier, which is also the case in 9MoF, and overall this was not a very memorable affair. Copying a successful slot is not really the way to go for a new and upcoming studio, and we strongly suggest they try to find their own voice instead.
