Tiki Beach Slot
Tiki Beach is an oasis that you can escape to when everything starts to get on top of you, with the intricate carvings of the tikis themselves helping to add to the atmosphere of the whole experience, even though it’s a virtual one.
New Zealand is the original home of these weird and wonderful stones and wooden icons, and so everything upon the 5 reels relates to this in some way, such as brightly coloured toucans and flamboyant patterned shirts. But arguably the best bit about this 20-payline slot is the music – it is so perfect that it teleports us to a beach thousands of miles away, all with the power of its sound.
Players can look forward to some considerable cash prizes and a fine array of free rounds, all packaged into one of the most vividly designed and executed slot machines we’ve had the pleasure of playing. It certainly had us reaching for our passports and digging out the holiday clothes, so we doubt it’ll be too long before you’re doing the same.
Wanderlust
Seeing as we’ve all packed up our suitcases and are on our way to the closest airport, let’s get to grips with those reels and find out what we can expect to come across when on our travels.
There are 11 tiles in total, which is about average for any slot machine, though some have a lot less and many more, so always familiarise yourself with that individual game. Anyway, every single symbol you will see is themed just as the game is, making it a more tangible experience that you can feel a part of rather than having a few token symbols thrown in and the rest remaining generic.
The range of cash you can look forward to receiving is at the lower end of the scale, but that doesn’t take away from the rush you feel when you bag your first winning combo; every tile needs at least a match of three to trigger a prize. And five will always pay out the most. Take the tiki logo as an example of this: when you discover three, players will only get 5.00 credits but when they get five they receive a much better 30.00.
Moving onto the more interesting symbols, there is a wild and a free spins icon, with the latter being a lot more generous due to the number of free rounds it offers you: you can get anywhere from 8 all the way to 40 spins. As for the wild, it will substitute other icons to try and help you get a winning line, so should these pop up a lot on your free spins, you can expect a plentiful account by the end of it.
How to Get Started
When it comes to betting in this title, it’s as easy as it can be without being downright insulting, and if you’ve shopped around for slot machines in the past you’ll know exactly what we mean.
The betting range is the traditional Play Pearls 0.10 to 4.00 coins per line, meaning you can end up totting up quite the stake if you play with every possible payline at your disposal. Should you not wish to do this, that’s simple to rectify as you merely tap on the number lit up on either side of the grid and the game’s settings will correct themselves.
There is no max bet button or quick spin to be enjoyed here, but there is an autoplay option which does go some way to reduce the amount of time you spend clicking away throughout the duration of the game. It won’t make a dramatic difference, but it goes a little way to help make everything feel more user friendly, and so we found ourselves using it a lot. You’re able to stop and start this option at any time.
Fun Time over at the Tiki Beach
This is another popular slot from PlayPearls, offering yet another layer of variety for a community that can often be served up the same old themes. No it isn’t original, but it’s unique to the brand in its own way, which is the next best thing in the gaming world. We didn’t win big on our tries, but maybe you will, why not have a try and find out? And if not, you can always check out the other games from them!
