Temple Tumble Megaways (Relax Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

There is nothing explorers love more than temples (probably)! Remember the explorer from the Book of Ra? First, he went to find the Temple of Gold, and then he went on to search for Books and Temples, too, in what can only be a not-so-veiled dig against Play’N’Go for their blatant Book of Ra clone Book of Dead. We reviewed another great temple-themed online slot recently, too, titled Caishen’s Temple, a standard feature of which was its extremely high RTP of over 97%. Oh, and let’s not forget about the unbelievably similarly titled Templar Tumble games, also by Relax Gaming! I’m not sure what the deal is with the developer creating two near-identical sets of slots with nigh-on matching titles, but I will say that both machines are a lot of fun to play!

The tumble series of slots do not rely on big payline hits to award their biggest prizes, so don’t expect too much from the paytable details below; you’ll need to hit lots of payways simultaneously if you are going to win big with these games. A case in point is the highest-paying symbol – a Golden Statue – which only has a return of 1x the bet for a full payway of six of a kind. The Red Dragon face drops to just 0.6x, after which three medium pays are denoted by Coloured Gems, which award between 0.3x and 0.5x for all six symbols. All four low-paying royals share an identical payout of 0.2x the current stake whenever a six-of-a-kind combination of those forms on the playfield.

When playing the demo version of Temple Tumble, you can choose to bet anywhere from €0.20 to €1000.00 per round, but I seriously doubt that you will be able to bet such huge sums when playing for real money. I quickly checked at my favourite online casino and found the upper limit had dropped to €100.00 per spin, but this may vary from site to site.

The base game setup utilised in this game is very different from that of most other online slots. The reel set comprises six reels with six rows each, for a total of 36 symbol positions, but up to 24 of these can be left unused in any individual game round.

Wins are awarded for hitting three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left, and winning combinations are immediately removed via the tumbling reels mechanic when your winnings have been paid. After this, new symbols will drop from the top of the screen to fill the resulting gaps.

Any stone blocks adjacent to a winning combination will be destroyed as part of the symbol removal phase. The main bonus round will trigger automatically when no more stone blocks are visible on the reels.

Unlike most other games, there is no bonus scatter symbols on the reels of Temple Tumble. Instead, you will need to destroy all unused positions filled by stone blocks to trigger a bonus round.

Free Spins

When all stone blocks are destroyed, the game will award six free spins, and you’ll be given a chance to select the volatility of your feature. You can win additional free spins by destroying the new special blocks that only appear in this part of the game and multipliers of up to 3x to boost the value of your winnings. Clearing all visible stone blocks during free spins will add three more extra spins to your remaining counter.
