tiki bonanza slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I already mentioned the similarities between this game and NetEnt’s Aloha! Cluster Pays; that game wasn’t anything extraordinary, but it did end up as a favourite with the promotions departments of many online casinos as the game of choice on which to award free spins for whatever reason. Because of that somewhat privileged status, most frequent online slot players are likely to be familiar with Aloha! – this game had a more serious and detailed graphical style, similar to another game named Totem Link which we looked at a little while back here at Demoslot from the provider Blue Guru Games.

I’m afraid there’s no monetary reward attached to either the scatters or the wilds in Tiki Bonanza. This is a common bugbear of mine these days, to the extent that I am starting to question if I should point it out. For the time being, however, I’m sticking to my guns – bring back the big payouts for these exceptionally rare and infrequent combinations please developers! With that short rant out of the way, the things that do pay here include the stacked red totem, which is worth 10x the bet for a completed payway of five-of-a-kind, as well as the stacked purple and yellow totems, both of which return 8x for a full payway. The remainder of the table consists of just five lower-paying royal symbols; full ways of the Ace and King have a semi-reasonable return of 2.5x and 2x, respectively, whilst the others drop as low as 0.3x for five-of-a-kind.

I mentioned that I thought this game would suit those who enjoy betting a little more than average, so I’m pleased to report there is a wide range of available bets starting and finishing at €0.10 and €100.00 per spin, respectively.

base game & modifiers

The base game setup of Tiki Bonanza utilises a standard 5x3 playfield, along with the familiar and popular 243 ways to win payout mechanic. This means that every possible path from left to right is connected for wins, so you only need to see that a symbol has landed somewhere on each reel to be sure of hitting a win.

The big pull of this mode is the expanded playfield, adding two extra rows to the reel set for the duration of the bonus round. This change also increases the number of active payways from 243 to a sizable 3,125, which I expected to make it much easier to hit a big win.

I played more than 20 bonus rounds as I was writing this review to see how I would fare, but I have to be honest and tell you that I consistently struggled to hit anything when I played this feature. There is no locking reel feature available here either, so there is no chance to use that to boost your chances.

I can only guess that the low number of high-paying symbols, along with their stacked configurations, is the reason for my difficulty when testing this feature.
