Play Tiki's Treasure for Free

Tiki's Treasure follows a long line of online slots that celebrate the beauty of the Pacific paradise that is Polynesia. The vast and expansive group of of more than 1,000 islands stretched from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the south and it is known for its unique languages and cultural beliefs, not to mention the idyllic natural beauty of the land and the sea.

Perhaps the most central cultural icon for many Polynesian peoples is the Tiki man, believed to be the first man created by the Maori gods Tumatauenga and Tane. Tiki is therefore enshrined as a Maori mythological icon with various wooden carving depicting the character used to mark important and sacred sites.

This slot machine pays homage to the iconic character by presenting a variety of different Tiki carvings – eleven in total! This does give the game a very colourful and impressive visual aspect, especially since the cartoon graphics are presented in great definition.

However, one criticism would be that some of the masks appear to be very similar, making it a little bit confusing to notice when the symbols combine to form a winning line. Thankfully, the game uses a series of colourful guidelines to mark a payline whenever it is triggered.

This is a very low volatility online slot machine, which basically means that you won't have to wait a very long time before you start to find winning combinations on the paylines. The reason for this is due to the fact that many of the tiki icons can create a prize-winning formation when just two symbols (or something even one icon) appear on an active payline. The downside is that these two-in-a-row wins are not very substantial at all, generally ranging from line bet multipliers worth 2x to 20x. The biggest line bet multiplier available in this slot machine is worth 2,000x and it will be rewarded whenever five red tiki men appear on on an active payline.

It is possible to win more than that in Tiki's Treasure, but you will have to raise the stakes, literally. Punters who play with this games maximum bet of 25.00 credits will actually win a progressive jackpot when five red tiki men appear. The minimum possible bet in this game is 0.25 credits.

In their quest for Tiki's Treasure, spinners will be able to rely on a couple of special bonus gameplay elements. To begin with, the jackpot-winning red tiki symbol also acts as a wild for all normal paying icons on the reels, meaning that it will potential form winning formations by substitutions. There is also a scatter tiki character – shown wearing a blue skirt – who will pay wins in any position, irrespective of paylines. So, if two scatter appear on the board, then a 2x total bet prize will be awarded, while three scatters go for 5x, four scatters make for 50x and five scatters awards 500x.

Players can also help their winnings erupt with a unique volcano bonus icon. This hot symbol works a bit like a scatter icon since it doesn't need to form a pattern on a payline to award a total bet win. However, it does need to form a special pattern on the second, third or fourth reel to be able to present its prizes.

If four volcanoes form the corners of a square, then a 15x total bet prize is given. If four volcano bonus symbols make a diamond shape, then a 20x prize is offered. Finally, if five volcano icons make up a cross, the bonus prize that is given will multiply the total bet by 100x.

Tiki's Treasure is a fairly solid slot machine from Omega Gaming, with an eye-catching set of symbols and some satisfyingly low variance gameplay for punters who like their wins to come around with every other spin.

That said, the progressive jackpot slot does bear some resemblance to the game Tiki Wonders, and it is arguable that the NetEnt software title is more advanced from a visual perspective.
