Tiki Mania

There’s nothing quite like the cold winter to make you dream of someplace warm and tropical. And so, as November is knocking on our doorstep, Microgaming and Fortune Factory Studios launch Tiki Mania. This slot will take you to the lovely beaches of an unnamed island. Lean back, watch the waves roll in, and you may potentially land yourself a solid win or two!
You play this game on a 5×3 board with 10 fixed paylines. In terms of special features, it offers nudging Wilds, multiplier Wilds, re-spins, free spins, and two jackpots! All of these bonuses play together to create a fun and engaging release.

Maybe it’s just the cold setting in, but the tropical theme was a smash hit for us. Fortune Factory Studios clearly put their all into Tiki Mania. Watching the waves come rolling in was quite cool, as was the gentle swaying of the palm trees above the beach.

This slot is played on a 5-reel board, where each reel is three symbols tall. To win, players must collect three or more identical icons in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All winning combinations must follow one of the currently active paylines or else they won’t be awarded to the gambler.

Players change their total bet by adjusting coin size and coin number sliders. This allows gamblers to wager between $0.10 and $100 on each spin. This is a standard betting spread, which suits this game quite nicely.

Microgaming’s release has a medium variance, and an RTP of 96.26%, which is above the current industry average. It has a good balance of smaller, more frequent wins, and the ever elusive jackpots. Don’t expect any mind-blowing wins from Tiki Mania. The maximum payout it can provide is 1,471x your total stake.

Available symbols vary between standard tropical icons and playing card royals. There’s nothing here that will knock your socks off, as far as design goes.The various totems that can appear are easily the highlight of this slot, with their funny faces.

The red totem is Wild, and can appear on reels two and four. If it appears partially in those reels, it will nudge up and down to fill it completely. When Wild lands on the board, it locks in place, and a single re-spin is played. You can get more re-spins by scoring a win. So long as you keep getting consecutive wins, the game will continue awarding re-spins.

During re-spins, you have a chance to see the three multiplier Wilds! You can get a 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier from these new Wilds. They also retain the nudge element that’s present in regular red Wild.

The red Tiki totem also has a chance of granting one of two fixed jackpots; Grand and Major. These jackpots are worth 1,000x and 50x, respectively.

Collect three Scatters in reels two, three and four to win ten free spins. Each Scatter you find while free spins are active will add an extra free spin.
