The Tumbles

From the author of Tumble games comes a brand-new prehistory game – The Tumbles! The Tumbles is a 6×6 slot from Relax Gaming taking place in ancient times – so ancient we call them prehistory. Join us for a Tumble in the Tumbles and enjoy clearing off ice blocks and scoring wins.

The Tumbles is a 6×6 slot with 46,656 possible ways to win. Players are able to use the $0.20-$200 betting range to wager for a chance to score a win. Wins go up to 5,000x, which is excellent for a medium-volatility game.

The Tumbles introduces players to the Ice Age where we meet a cute family appearing on the grid. In total, the game has 10 paying symbols, 5 high-value icons, 4 low-rank icons, and a Wild. The family members are the high-rank icons – two kids, a grandmother, and parents. Other than these icons, you’ll also notice card suits that are the game’s low-rank tiles.

We quite liked the fact that Relax named the game The Tumbles as it’s a play on the studio’s most famous Tumble mechanic that also adds charm to the prehistoric family.

Inside the game, players first have to select a bet by tinkering with the bet settings in the lower bar. Then they click on Spin – and if they want, they can either speed up things or turn on Autoplay.

In some jurisdictions, players can also purchase Free Spins via Buy Feature. The highest you can win in the game is 5,000x which is not surprising as this is a medium-volatility game with 96.10% RTP and 25.10% hit frequency. The game has a 6×6 betting grid that allows you to win whenever you land at least 3 matching icons on adjacent reels (their position does not matter). However, not all icons are playable regular icons. During the base game spins, a number of icons are replaced by blocks of ice. When you have a winning combo, every winning icon will be destroyed off the grid, and if it’s in contact with a block of ice, it will go away too. Every winning icon can destroy one block of ice.

Then more icons tumble down (this is the famous Tumble mechanic). When this happens, you get more symbols that can potentially form a winning combo, and it goes on until there are no new possible winning combos.

If you decide to start betting on the game, you’ll have a betting range that goes from $0.20 up to $200 per spin. Our advice is to go slow with bet increases, as the game is highly unpredictable. It has medium volatility, yes, but a slot is a slot and so it’s going to behave as a slot.

Now, the game has 10 paying icons. 4 are low-rank card suits paying 0.20x for 6-of-a-kind. Then we have higher icons representing the family – the kids and the grandma pay 0.40x for 6 matching icons, the mom pays 0.60x and the dad pays 1x.  So how does the game have a 5,000x payout potential? Well, it’s all thanks to the game features. You’ll need all the features to unlock the highest potential.

It’s a Tumble game, so of course t’s going to have Tumbles. However, it seems Relax decided to go light on the rest of the features, as the game uses only Multipliers and Free Spins as boosters. There’s also a Wild symbol and a Buy Feature.

Multipliers

Multipliers appear in the game on every reel except the first one. If you have more than one, their values are added together, and then they apply to the overall win at the end of the spin. There are two types of Multipliers – active and inactive. Active Multipliers land on regular icons, while inactive Multipliers land blocked within ice. When you clear off all ice, you get another Multiplier. Only Active multipliers can apply to the wins; inactive must be activated beforehand – you do that by landing a win next to its block of ice. The values of Multipliers range from 2x to 10x, and if you clear away all ice blocks, you get a random Multiplier that’s between 5x to 10x.

Free Spins

Get 3 Scatters and you got yourself 8 Spins. If you get more Scatters, you’ll also get more Spins – 1 spin per extra scatter. In Free Spins, the situation is more or less similar to the base game, except you get better playing conditions. Namely, there are more Multipliers with higher values, and fewer blocks of ice. Active Multipliers are also added to the total win multiplier in every spin.  if you succeed in clearing away all the ice, you get a 10x Multiplier.  It’s possible to get extra Spins by landing Scatters (1 scatter equals 1 extra spin).

Buy Feature

If you want, you can buy Free Spins for 50x.Please bear in mind that this option might not be available in every market.
