TikiPop Spooky Temples (AvatarUX) Slot Demo & Review

We still have weeks to go until Halloween, but there’s already been a bumper crop of Halloween-themed slots hitting the market recently. I probably say it every year, but this year feels even busier for spooky slots than any other, as we’ve already seen titles such as Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Halloween 2, which is just a clone of Big Bass Splash, and the hell-raising Dreadworks from Print Studios, make their debuts recently. I think it’s fair to say that you can expect plenty more where they came from in the weeks that follow, too,

We’ve got a bit of scary theme then, but perhaps the pays section will stop us from hiding behind the sofa? The best-paying symbol on TikiPop Spooky Temples, is the Gold Mask with a return of 10x the stake for five in a row. That’s followed by the Blue Mask and its 6x top reward, the Pink Mask with up to 5x available, and the Green, Orange, and Red masks, which return up to 4x, 2.5x, and 2.5x, respectively. The royals represent the lower pays and each of the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack pay up to 1x the stake.

We conclude this section with the betting range on the TikiPop Spooky Temples slot, which starts from a minimum bet of €0.20 per spin and reaches up to a maximum of €20.00, which should comfortably cater for real-money players on all sized budgets.

At the start of a base game spin, there is a 5-reel and 3-row reel configuration and winning combinations form when three or more matching symbols line up across successive reels from left to right or right to left, starting from the first or last reels, respectively.

PopWins

When a winning combination is formed, the symbols involved disappear, and two new symbols appear in their place for each. That expands the reels and increases the ways to win while also allowing the potential for more PopWins and reel drops to occur. The reels can expand up to 5 symbols high in the base game and 7 high in the free spins bonus. If a spin unlocks all reels, all wins will have a 2x multiplier applied to them. 

The main bonus game on TikiPop Spooky Temples is a free spins bonus. It triggers when three or more scatter symbols land anywhere in view. Once triggered, you can use a Gamble Feature to attempt to win more spins at the risk of losing those you’ve earned so far. 

Free Spins Feature

You’ll receive 7, 11, or 15 free spins in return for 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, respectively. If you receive 7 or 11, you can use the Gamble Wheel to gamble for more. There is a 50/50 chance of winning or losing. 

Before the free spins bonus starts, a random reel configuration is determined, with the following possible:

• 4-3-3-3-4
• 4-4-3-4-4
• 4-4-4-4-4
• 5-4-3-4-5
• 5-5-5-5-5

The PopWins mechanic can now unlock each reel up to a maximum of 7 high, and a global win multiplier increases by 1x for every PopWin that occurs. Furthermore, the reels will not return to their original configuration between spins. Instead, each reel is set at the lowest height of the reels from the previous spin. 

If a spin fully unlocks the reels, you’ll receive between 2 and 4 additional spins, and the win multiplier, going forward, increases by 2x for every PopWin.

Bonus Buy

You can purchase 7 free spins for 100x the stake via the buy bonus options, or alternatively, buy the Gamble Wheel for the same cost to give you a chance to gamble for up to 15 free spins.
