Set against a beachside backdrop, the reels have a primitive feel. The playing card symbols, which look as if they're carved from stone, are joined by a quartet of brightly coloured death masks. Joining them is a standard wild which replaces everything bar the bonus symbol. If there was a slot set on Easter Island, it would look something like this.
The first feature we'll look at is the Wild Nights feature which can be triggered at random on any base game spin - once active, first choose a reel to be the trigger window. A flaming torch will be lit over the reels and create stacked wilds. If 1 is activated in your chosen reel, you'll be rewarded with a shuffle. The reels will be juggled in order to create the best possible paying combination. After the payout is made, you return to the base game.
Land the Free Games symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 and you'll trigger the Free Games feature - here you'll be awarded 10 free spins, complete with the pick of 2 out of 3 modifier extras. They are a random multiplier, a stacked wild added to the reels on every spin or consecutive symbol wins which offer payouts even if your combination doesn't start from the leftmost reel.
The more you play, the better as you get to unlock extra free games features – these include 20 additional free spins and reels containing only masks and wild symbols. Once you play a certain amount of times, these extra will be available to choose. Tiki Paradise is available, for now, at Coral Casino – if you play in their betting shops, you can benefit from the described extras. They have over 1,800 shops throughout the UK!
Tiki Paradise also comes with a Hi Roller mode which will set you back 10x your usual bet per session of 5 spins. In return, you first get to choose a trigger window which will be in play for all 5 spins. As usual, if the wild lands fully stacked in your chosen trigger window, you'll receive a shuffle to create a new or improved winning combination. It's also possible to trigger the free spins round if playing in Hi Roller mode.
Playtech has created an impressive looking and sounding slot game here - the visuals are bright and bold with the action playing out to a rhythmical, drum heavy backing track. The features are pretty good too. The Wild Nights feature shuffles can add some tidy base game payouts. It's the free spins that offer the best opportunities though where the modifiers can certainly help things along.
Tiki Paradise is a very playable game - the design is good and there are enough features to keep the pace flowing. This Pacific adventure may not be paradise but it's still a decent enough play. If you like the theme, I recommend Blueprint Gaming’s Zuma which is a must.
