Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy Slot Review

Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy slot plays out on an unusual 7 reel, 9 row, cascading wins machine. It uses a Cluster Pays engine. To create a winning combination, you need to land 5 or more matching symbols or wilds in a vertical or horizontal cluster or a combination of both.

Stakes here range from 10p to £20 per spin. Use the + and – button next to the Stake box to set your bet level. There’s a Turbo mode for faster spins and an Auto Play function where up to 100 autospins with loss limits can be chosen. Both these options may not be available in your country.

The Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy RTP is 95.69% which is a little below average. High variance, the bigger wins will come from the bonus features. The maximum win is 3,319 x your total stake per spin.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – a laid back trip to the beach

There’s a rather jolly, cartoon-style to the design in the Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy slot. With a Polynesian theme, a tropical beach is the setting. There’s a rather sunny soundtrack playing away in the background while you spin. It’s the kind of incidental music you might hear in Caribbean-set TV detective drama Death in Paradise. It matches the sunny visuals and theme rather nicely.

Flanked by a quartet of dozing totems, the reels are made up of 5 lower value tropical fruit symbols and 5 higher paying symbols with more of a gambling theme. In order of value are dice, stars, bells and diamonds. The most rewarding symbol is the lucky 7s which pays 777 x stake if you land a cluster of 25 or more symbols.

There are 4 Tiki Mask symbols on the reels all the time. These can wake up and turn wild if a winning cluster lands adjacent to them. This also brings the Totem extras into play.

You can enjoy this tropical beach party if you’re playing on mobile or tablet as well desktop. The large number of symbols and the continual cascades could be a problem if you’re using a small-screen device if the imagery wasn’t up to the job. Thankfully, the design is clear and well up to the task. The Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy mobile slot works nicely.

Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy Bonus Features

The gameplay in Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy is rather unorthodox. With 6 bonus features, central to the action are the Tiki Masks which can turn wild as well as bringing Totem modifiers into play. There’s also a free spins feature.

Winning Clusters feature

After a winner is formed, the Winning Clusters feature is triggered. The winning symbols are popped off the grid and new symbols drop down and replace them. These cascades keep on coming as long as a new winning cluster is formed.

Tiki Masks feature

On every spin, 4 Tiki Mask symbols are present. These are locked into the same position throughout the spin. Land a winning cluster adjacent to a Tiki Mask and the Mask becomes wild for the cascade that follows. This is known as the Tiki Masks feature.

It also activates 1 of the 4 Totems you see to the side of the reels. When 2 or more Totems are active, it brings the Totem Frenzy modifiers into play:

• Totem Frenzy Collect feature: this can trigger when 2 Totems on the same side of the reels are active. The Totems gather up 1 fruit symbol from the grid. This fruit won’t land during any subsequent cascades either. With 1 fewer fruit symbol in play, it enhances your chances of landing a bigger cluster of matching symbols.
• Totem Frenzy Remove feature: this can also trigger when 2 Totems on the same side have been activated. The Totems can clear the grid of symbols. A brand-new set of symbols then drop in and a new set of cascades begin.
• Totem Frenzy Generosity feature: this comes into play on a cascade where 3 Tiki Masks are wild but no winner is formed. The missing Totem can turn the 4th Tiki Mask wild, and in the process, trigger the bonus round, the Tiki Spins feature.

Tiki Spins feature

The Tiki Spins feature triggers when all 4 Tiki Masks turn wild. In most cases, you’ll then go on to play 10 free spins. If you’re lucky, the big Totem can bump this haul up to 15.

During the free spins, all 4 Tiki Mask symbols will be wild throughout. Above the reels, you’ll see a collection of fruit meters. Land a winning combination made up of a fruit symbol and they are added to their respective meter. Collect 35 pieces of the same fruit and that symbol is removed from the grid for the rest of the Tiki Spins.

Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy Review Summary – tropical paradise is a charmer

The Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy slot is nicely done. The colourful visuals are easy on the eye and the soundtrack bounces along nicely. The gameplay in this jolly beach party is a little unusual but the action keeps on coming thanks to the cluster pays, cascading reels and Totem extras.

The bigger wins will come in the Tiki Spins feature as all 4 Tiki Masks are wild. Getting combinations of 35 fruits will see that symbol removed so your last few free spins could see less symbols on the reels for bigger payouts. It’s all rather laid back considering its name but I enjoyed Tiki Fruits: Totem Frenzy.

In terms of Cluster Pays slots, there are better options out there. Hammerfall by Play ‘n GO offers 30,000 x stake wins as well as plenty of bonus features. My favourite is Jammin’ Jars from Push Gaming which has achieved cult status.
