Tiki Tumble slot review (Push Gaming)

CasinoHipster takes and long, hard look at Push Gaming’s Tiki Tumble slot (and likes it!)

In 2005, Push Gaming launched its first game, followed by a slew of others. In 2018 the game Tiki Tumble came to life, a fun and colourful slot with a Polynesian theme. In the background, you hear the sounds of the jungle and the drumbeat of a tribe.

With many fun features hidden on the island, this looks like it will be a successful adventure. I feel like a trip to this beautiful destination.

Now, put on that hideous Hawaiian shirt, and let’s get spinning!

Excellent payout rate of 96.49%

The game has a high payout rate of 96.49% with a medium to high variance.

As soon as the Wilds show themselves, your chances for a higher payout increase considerably.

The Wilds are stacked and help you to realize nice winnings. Besides that, the Wilds also have some extra fun features in store.

Please keep reading to find out what it is.

How does the Tiki Tumble slot work?

The game consists of 5 reels and 4 rows. This slot has a minimum bet of $€ 0.20 and a maximum bet f $€ 100 per spin.

The game’s symbols are totem poles in the following colours: pink, orange, green and blue. These are the high-value symbols, and with 5 identical ones, they pay out as follows: the blue totem pole 5 x your bet, the green totem pole 10 x your bet, the orange totem pole 15 x your bet and the purple totem pole 20 x your bet.

Besides those, there are the low-value symbols in the form of stones that are coloured: a purple, orange, green and light blue. Their payout ranges from 2 x to 2.5 x your bet when you have 5 of the same ones.

The Wild symbol is the golden totem pole with the red gemstone. The Wilds replace all symbols, except for the Scatter. These Wilds do not come alone, which is good news for us: they are Stacked Wilds.

This gives us more of a chance to make some sweet combinations. But there is more; these Wilds can also serve as Nudging Wilds!

As soon as 1 or more Wilds land on the top 3 spots on 1 or more of the reels, these Wilds will turn into Nudging Wilds.

This will also cause the affected reel, with the Stacked Wilds to move down one place after every spin, letting you enjoy those Wilds even longer.

The remainder of the reels spins as usual.

Extra options

In the game, there aren’t many extra options to be seen. You can switch the reel speed to Turbo Mode, an accelerated spin.

The Nudge phenomena, whereby a reel shifts a place up or down, I have encountered before. Epic Journey by Red Tiger Gaming and Super Nudge 6000 by Netent are good examples of this. The Nudge can be found in different forms in these slots.

Free spin bonus with increasing multipliers

The Scatter symbol is the golden mask. Three or more of the scatters activates the Free Games feature. During this feature, the Wilds play the main part. Reel 2 and 4 are filled with the Nudging Wilds, that will move down after every spin.

There is also a multiplier active on all the winnings. The multiplier starts at 1 x, 2 x, or 3 x depending on the number of scatters spun. Every time there is a Nudging Wild in view, the multiplier will grow. On the right-hand side of the screen, you can keep an eye on the multiplier size.

The Free Games feature ends when there are no more Wilds visible on the screen.

Our verdict on the Tiki Tumble video slot

My first experience with Push Gaming is a resounding success. The Nudging Wilds in 2 are the leading factor. These bring, together with the fun, colourful graphics, the game to life. Especially in the bonus game, there are some very nice payouts lurking, thanks to the Stacked/Nudging Wilds combined with the Multiplier.

Join in quickly, and who knows, you might stumble upon a doozie yourself.

Aloha!
