Tiki Tumble

The moment we saw these goofy faces, we knew we were going to love this slot. It’s the perfect blend of cool and ridiculous that suits our tastes! You’re treated to an awesome background image, while the masks keep sticking their tongues out at you.

It’s a good experience, which is then made even better by introducing the multipliers!

Tiki Tumble Slot Review

Tiki Tumble is played on a five reel board, with each reel being four symbols tall. There are a total of 20 paylines which cannot be turned on or off. To win, collect three or more identical icons in consecutive positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All winning combinations must follow one of the active paylines, or the cash prize won’t be granted.

Push Gaming wisely keeps it simple, and offers only two special features. The first are Nudging Wilds! If a Wild appears in the top three symbol positions on one or more reels, the bonus triggers. The Wild shifts down by one position, while the remaining reels re-spin. There’s also a free spins round that comes with a multiplier special feature. How do you increase the number of multipliers, you ask? Get those Wilds nudging!

Theme & Symbols

Sadly, tropical tribal isn’t nearly as popular of a theme as ancient Egypt or Greek mythology. But it’s one of those concepts that’s near and dear to our hearts, much like steampunk. It also helps this game executes the concept wonderfully! Every part of it looks cool, and a dash of silliness is added here and there to amuse the player. Nothing quite like landing a big win by collecting masks that are sticking their tongues out at you.

Active volcanoes dominate the background image, clouding this tropical paradise with thick smoke clouds. Fortunately, the sea is right there, so there won’t be too much of a fire hazard. Unfortunately, those few statues you see on the coast are probably toast. Honestly, the only way we could think of improving the background is to add animations.

Icon designs are a mixture of awesome and okay. Simple shapes form the low value symbols, and our only praise for them is that they’re not playing card royals. They’re not bad either! But they simply cannot compete when faced with the masks. Each mask has a different color and facial expression, ranging from amusing to outright menacing! And the scarier they look, the more valuable they are.

How to Play Tiki Tumble

You play this Push Gaming release on a 5×4 board with 20 fixed paylines. You also play it with protective padding around your wallet, or else you’ll find it critically wounded! Tiki Tumble is a high volatility slot, make no mistake. You’ll be faced with the occasional spell of boring grinding that will see your balance sink. But like a phoenix, it will be reborn even better once you hit some big wins, enhanced with multipliers.

Is that your way of telling us to pray to whatever deity of our choosing to win the special features, reviewer? Yes, dear reader, yes it is. There’s only two of them, and one appears more frequently than the other. Nudging Wilds can offer a much needed respite in the form of a re-spin or three. But that bonus only becomes lucrative when paired with the free spins round. There’s no getting the jackpot without re-spins and multipliers.

What we like most about this game is how easy it is to set your bet. Just tap the Total Bet section, and pick which one suits you best! No need to tamper with active paylines or coin values. What you see is what you get. You can bet between €0.20 as a minimum, and €100.00 per spin as a maximum. Online gamblers also get a 500x jackpot, before any multipliers affect the top prize.

Bonus Features

We really like it when developers combine their bonuses. Nudging Wilds, multipliers and free spins are all mechanics most players are familiar with. But by combining them together, you get an engaging experience. Not to mention a very lucrative one, too!

• Nudging Wilds

When a Wild lands in the upper three icon positions on one or more reels, it triggers a re-spin. The aforementioned Wild will move down by one position, while all other reels re-spin. Wilds usually appear stacked, so you’ll get at least two or three re-spins out of each Nudging Wild.

• Free Spins

Collect three, or more golden mask Scatters to win free spins with multipliers. Three, four or five Scatters earns you a 1x, 2x or 3x initial multiplier, respectively. During free spins, reels two and four start with Wilds fully covering them. This guarantees at least three re-spins will be played. And each time Nudging Wild re-spins trigger, the multiplier increases by one, with no upper limit.

Tiki Tumble Payouts

Push Gaming’s release has a high volatility, and a 500x jackpot before any multipliers start affecting it. Tiki Tumble’s RTP is 96.49%, which is above the current average.
