Tiki torches have recently gained a pretty bad reputation thanks to all the drama in the USA. Luckily, Tiki Fruits is still fair game. Red Tiger Gaming is one of the rising producers from Asia, and so far all their slots have offered quite decent quality, even if the theme has not always been that familiar for western audiences. Tiki Fruits is a welcome addition in the sense that it offers classic fruitplay combined with new mechanics. In fact, at first look, you might think this is not a slot at all.
Theme
Somewhere out there is a beach where you can relax and enjoy the fruits of nature. The same beach serves as the centrepiece of the slot, with the game screen and the win meters taking up rest of the space. The symbols are very familiar to anyone who has ever eaten fruits or played classic slots. The fact that these are spread in a completely fresh reel setup is what makes the theme so successful: it’s not just repetition of the same old.
Betting Options and Functions
Straight away you will notice that the layout is quite different from what you can expect from normal slots. There are a total of eighty symbol positions on the reel, arranged in eight times ten format. This is not the first slot to use this setup, but it is among the first. The wins are not counted through paylines, instead, the game simply seeks out clusters of similar symbols. These need to always connect horizontally or vertically. The bigger the cluster becomes the bigger the wins. Like in most other games of this type new fruits will drop in to replace those that have already formed into a prize.
There are ten different basic symbols, and a minimum of five is needed to grab a win of any kind. The more symbols the more wins you land. To get to the top of the paytable you need to land 31 or more similar symbols, meaning that it is not all that easy to grab the biggest prizes. The most you can get from a single symbol is 777 times your bet, and the least is a mere 0.1 times your bet. The main win goes all the way to 2000 times your bet, and that requires some luck with the bonus function.
Features
There is really only one special feature here, and it is the Tiki Spins. These require you to collect the bonus icons, which come into play every time you land another win. If you land no wins the bonus meter will reset, so this is pretty much a one-shot thing. Once again, getting lucky is required. The number of free spins received is completely random.
Our Take
Tiki Fruits is a very interesting slot as it manages to break the mould. It is by no means the only slot with this setup, but it is probably the only one using this theme. If you are into cascading symbols and massive wins you should definitely roll the reels on this one.
