Theme and Symbols

The popular duo from Yggdrassil has traveled from their hometown of Eastern Island to Venice Beach, California, where this online arcade game's action takes place!

Expect to face a certain focus on the Tiki style with the two goofy Moai statues looking like proper tourists with their colorful singlets, caps, and sunglasses standing on each side of the reels and acting as the protagonists!

There is a rather cartoonish design with the grid standing on the sand in the middle of a beach with balls, deck chairs, and sunshades scattered around, while on them, you will see beautifully-decorated icons featuring playing card suits symbols, and five animal statues – fish, snake, turtle, fox, and a bird.

A theme-style soundtrack with intermittent comments from the fun duo provides the perfect audio to the overall atmosphere! 

Betting Options and Other Functions

Before you put on your sunglasses and a goofy hat, you will need to set your bet level, ranging from 0.25 to 300 credits, making this online slot perfect for all types of players!

This Polynesian-themed online game has 6 reels and 4 rows, offering 25 bet ways to start with, but these numbers will change as you play the game.

The theoretical return to player percentage is an average of 96%, while the game boasts medium variance.

The four playing card suits are the lowest paying symbols, followed by five higher-paying animal statues, of which the bird is the most valuable one, rewarding 4x, 8x, 16x, or 40x the stake for 3, 4, 5, or 6 in combination!

Special Features

If you have played the original release, you may have a picture of what you could expect when it comes to bonus features.

The core to gameplay is the Symbol Swap Respin feature that triggers every time you land a winning combo. When that occurs, you will be awarded a single Respin.

Here's the kicker!

If the initial win was made up of a lower value symbol, all the low-value symbols on the respin would transform into the original winning symbol, and the same goes with high-value symbols!

Now, land a winning combination of up to 4, 5, or 6 symbols, and you will activate the Colossal Blocks feature when the blocks of 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 are added for the Respin, depending on the number of symbols that formed the initial winning combo.

Pay attention to the golden tribal bird mask that is the wild symbol, as it can appear during the Colossal Block respins only and substitute for all other symbols!

Lastly, if you land a 6-of-a-kind winner, you will not only get a colossal 4x4 symbol but also trigger the Expanding Reels feature that sees the game grid expanding and featuring 8 rows to play across, thus increasing the number of ways to win up to 55!

Verdict

Fans of the original Easter Island online game also created by a creative Yggdrasil team back in 2018 will be really excited to see these two memorable Maoi statues back on the screens.

Besides its better looks, the game also offers recognizable but improved bonus features, as well as a slightly higher maximum potential of 2500x the stake!
