Tiki Vikings Slot Review

How to play

Tiki Vikings video slot looks fantastic but it has simple controls and is easy to understand. It is a five-reel slot and each reel has three rows. Also, it has 20 paylines that are always active and cannot be changed.

The only value you can change is the bet value. Click on the chip icon to open the bet value box. Here you can select a bet value from a minimum of €0.10 to a maximum of €100. As a result, this fun game will appeal to both low spenders and high rollers.

For quick play, there is a simple autoplay option also. Click on the autoplay icon and you can choose the number of autoplay spins between 10 to 100. Unfortunately, there are no advanced autoplay features. However, there is also a turbo spin option that reduces the reel animation times for faster gameplay. Also, your account balance, bet value, and previous win values are shown below the reels.

Symbols and payouts

Tiki Vikings has just eight symbols in its basic paytable. These symbols all look fantastic and add to the tiki-theme of this video slot. The basic symbols are a J, Q, K, A, a blue Viking, a yellow Viking, and an orange Viking, and the Tiki Vikings symbol.

The lower-paying symbols are the letters. These look like decorative wood and are embellished with vibrant flowers. Also, these symbols all have the same lowest payout multiplier which is 0.80x for three symbols. Alternatively, their higher payout multiplier is 3x for five symbols.

The higher-paying symbols are different Vikings. These Vikings have fun details like the orange Viking has a pineapple helmet. Of these, the orange Viking (with Banana horns) has the highest payout multiplier of 7.5x for five symbols. The highest paying symbol in the game, however, is the Tiki Vikings symbol which gives a payout multiplier of 15x for five symbols.   

Best Tiki Vikings bonus feature

The Tiki Vikings bonus feature is simple but effective and adds an extra level of gameplay. There are unfortunately no Tiki Vikings free spins, however, there is a re-spin bonus round. If any symbol except the J, Q, K, or A scores a winning combination, the symbols are held in place.

This then triggers a re-spin with the winning symbols still in their position. Any symbols matching the winning combination are also locked. This can greatly increase your chance of scoring additional winning combinations. Also, this re-spin process will continue whilst a new symbol is locked in place after each re-spin. Theoretically, you can have all the reels filled with the same symbol.

These re-spins also fill the symbol upgrade meter. For each new locked symbol, the upgrade meter fills by one. When this meter is full, the locked symbols are upgraded to the next symbol in the paytable. For example, if you had a screen of yellow Vikings and the meter was full, these would be upgraded to the Orange Viking. This can lead to some fantastic bet boosts and jackpots.

RTP & volatility

The Tiki Vikings Return To Player is 96.01%. This remains consistent with other games from Just for the Win like Deco Diamonds. It is just above the industry average for video slots which is considered between 95-96%. This game is also classed as a medium volatility slot. Therefore, you can expect to win semi-occasionally. Also, you may have some jackpot wins thrown in too. The best wins come from the re-spin and symbol upgrade features.
