Tic Tac Take Review

Reel Kingdom has clearly found inspiration in the classic tic-tac-toe paper game, as well as in the equally timeless and evergreen Starburst, and Tic Tac Take comes with a decent disco/gemstone theme with what looks like fireflies moving around in the background. It’s a somewhat clever idea actually, since the X and O symbols you land on the 3x3 middle positions mirrors the paper game quite well.

The audiovisual presentation is pleasant enough, without being extraordinary, and the game is all about the Starburst mechanic Tic Tac Take Respins feature. The X’s and O’s can turn into sticky wilds in all directions on the 3 middle reels, awarding up to 8 respins for payouts up to 2,200x your stake. Still, you get plenty of dead spins between Respin triggers, and the volatility can be quite brutal.

Tic Tac Take Slot Features

The 10 paylines that snake their way across the grid pay both ways, and 5 matching symbols on a payline awards between 5 and 100 x your stake. The Star Wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combos, and it appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 as the X or O symbols transform.

The Tic Tac Take Respins feature triggers when you land a line of X or O symbols vertically, horizontally or diagonally on the 3 middle reels. You get 1 respin for each complete line of X or O symbols, and you thus get 8 respins if the 3 middle reels are filled with X or O symbols. The triggering X or O symbols turn into sticky wilds for the respins, and you get +1 extra respin per full line of X’s or O’s you get from the respin.

The Tic Tac Take Respin feature triggers on a fairly regular basis, but impatient players living in an eligible jurisdiction may buy the feature directly for 100x the total stake. This option is not available in the UK for sure, and it guarantees at least 1 full X or O line that awards 1 respin. The RTP remains the same if you purchase the feature.

The 200 Spins Tic Tac Take Slot Experience

We have quite a lengthy highlights video for you this time, but this is mostly due to the many big win screens we got from eventually filling the 3 middle reels with sticky wilds. This landed us plenty of respins with solid back-to-back wins, and you can see it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We can start by saying that what you see in the highlights video above is not something that happens very often. The base game is a dead spin grind between occasional Respin top-up wins, and most of the time you get a single respin with measly returns. We bought the feature countless times during our test run, and most of the time we won back only a fraction of what we “invested”. Buying the Respin feature for 100x your stake gets expensive real quick, in other words.

The Respins feature does improve upon the Starburst concept though, not least since you can get up to 8 respins instead of just 3, and this can award solid back-to-back payouts in a lucky session. The problem is that the regular single respin trigger you get most of the time just isn’t all that exciting, and there is literally nothing else going on. The hard-capped 2,200x potential is a tad lower than the more obscure predecessor, Star Pirates Code, and neither of the two comes with a max win that properly matches the volatility.

If you appreciate Tic Tac Take Slot you should also try:

Star Pirates Code - is the predecessor gemstone/pirate release from Reel Kingdom, and it revolves around the compass wild that can land on the 3 middle reels. The compass wild generates wilds in the direction of the needle, which triggers sticky wild respins for payouts up to 2,500x your stake.

Starburst XXXtreme - is NetEnt’s highly anticipated follow-up to their most iconic release, and non-UK players can buy up to 2 starburst wilds for less than what you pay in the game at hand. The sticky wild respins round comes with random multipliers that can combine up to x450, and the potential is an eye-watering 200,000x your stake.

Slingo Starburst - is a highly popular slot/bingo hybrid release from Slingo Originals, and it’s based around NetEnt’s popular classic. Get slingos to climb the Win Spin bonus ladder, and win symbol-specific guaranteed wins on the in-game Starburst slot. This can lead to payouts up to 1,500x your stake.
