Red Tiger Gaming introduces with Tiki Fruits a new type of slot machine for them, where they don’t rely on regular reels or active lines, not even ways to win. The Cluster Pays system can make for some exciting gameplay, as you will find for yourself if you play this Tiki and classic fruit themed slot.
A total of 8×10 reels are deployed in Tiki Fruits, along with a Cluster Pays system which will pay for combinations formed with 5 to 31+ symbols. The game promises to offer rewards as high as 2,000x ($80,000), while its features revolve around the meter system which removes symbols, or the free spins that can trigger the same way.
Betting
Whether it’s this game, or another from Red Tiger Gaming, you’re likely to be using the same betting system. It will begin at a minimum value of $0.20 in this case, and there is the possibility to take it up to $40. The Total Stake is all you decide on in Red Tiger Gaming’s slots, there is no mention of the amount that goes to each line.
Tiki Fruits Jackpot
If you look only at the combinations/clusters that you can form, then the best one around will pay 777x the stake. The bonus features seem to be capable of paying quite a bit more though, with their promise of a 2,000x reward (up to $80,000).
Special Features
The game offers you a unique experience as soon as it starts spinning and forming combinations, so you don’t have to look very far to find something that’s not standard in it.
The Cluster Pays system will involve matching symbols found next to each other, in groups of 5 or more. The more symbols of the same type you get in the cluster, the bigger the reward. The highest rewards of the game will be coming from 31+ symbols that match. This is for an area that has 80 symbols total.
The Chain Reactor system has also been implemented. What this means is that the symbols from the winning clusters get removed from the reels, the ones above them fall down to occupy empty positions, and then additional symbols come in and occupy the spaces that are left. With a single paid spin, you could get multiple reactions and clusters of winning symbols.
Fruit Bars
The same chain reactions that will trigger as you form wave after wave of winning clusters, will also contribute to the Fruit Bars which you see to the right side of the screen. Get enough symbols of a single type from the clusters, and the Fruit Bar will be filled. This brings you the removal of the involved symbols from the reels. You’re left with fewer symbols, so there are even better odds of having clusters formed.
Tiki Spins
At the top of the Fruit Bars, there is a Bonus Bar that will require to be filled, before it can get you into the Tiki Spins feature. You need the Coconut Cocktail symbol to appear several times on the reels, in order for that meter to be filled. When that’s done, it’s going to give you a random number of free games. During the free spins, the Fruit Bars are not reset after each losing drop, so there are much better odds of forming clusters and getting symbols removed from the game area.
Design
Red Tiger Gaming has always been a good developer when it comes to creating slots with high-end graphics. Though they chose a more classic theme here, with fruits, stars, 7s, bells and diamonds as the main symbols, the game still ends up looking modern and quite enjoyable. It helps that it has a Tiki totem as well, along with the meter area and the beach from the background, so the focus is not as much on the classic icons.
Summary
Like a lot of other Red Tiger Gaming slots, it’s enjoyable and it delivers cool visuals along with unique features. In this case, it’s even a more unique experience than in other slots of theirs, thanks to the cluster pays system that they’ve implemented.
