Tiki Maniaby Fortune Factory Studios

The Pacific Ocean is home to many islands, but none so famous as Hawaii. This archipelago has come to represent the tropical way of life free from worry and stress.

With the famous lei flower wreaths, the luau parties and the hula dancing it’s a place of fun in the sun.

As with any popular theme, the igaming industry has turned Hawaii into slot games many times. Here’s another one courtesy of Fortune Factory Studios who have made this game exclusively for Microgaming.

Theme

The theme is tropical all the way. One thing that immediately catches the eye is the serene beach with white sands and an animated ocean.

As the palm trees swing the in the breeze the players are presented with a 5x3 grid full of various tropical items.

Drum, guitars, leis, and coconuts make up the high-paying symbols while the rest are good old fashioned card numbers.

But as the title says…

…it’s really all about the tikis. These colorful wooden carvings represent the wild symbols and come in four different colors signifying multiplier levels.

The tikis are the gateway into big wins in this title because they rule over the special features.

Overall, the developer has managed to create a very chill and relaxing atmosphere in this game. It’s totally fitting because that’s what people go to Hawaii for. A wonderful tropical vacation free of any worries.

So if you can’t get on down to Honolulu yourself, here’s a good alternative.

Betting Options and Functions

On the tropical 5x3 grid there are ten active paylines for punters to wager on. Players can choose the number of coins and the coin size thus allowing for a wide range of bets which is excellent for those who like more options.

The low end of the bet range starts at just 10 cents while high-rollers can choose to wager up to 100 dollars on a single spin.

Other options that are now standard on video slots include quick spin which will drastically quicken the spin animations and autoplay where punters can choose the number of spins to happen automatically.

Special Features

It’s right here where the Hawaiian luau heats up because this offering is just filled to the brim with features.

Firstly, there is the Red Tiki Wild which appears on reels 2 and 4. It acts as a wild should in any game but there are two important twists. If it lands partially it will nudge to cover the whole reel. The second twist is the Respin feature.

Anytime the wild lands the reels will respin. And if there is a win they will respin again. There’s no limit to these win respins so there’s potential for some big win chains.

And:

Another thing happening during respins is the appearance of multiplier tiki wilds. They nudge too but they also have multipliers from 1x to 3x. And multiple wilds with different multipliers will multiply each other.

There’s another thing that the Red Tiki does. After each appearance coins are collected which can trigger the jackpot feature. If that happens one of two jackpot prizes is awarded – the Major or the Grand. The Grand jackpot is exactly 1000x the active bet.

Our Take

Fortune Factory is becoming a studio to look out for. They are a part of Microgaming’s third-party stable and have previously made Long Mu Fortunes for this publisher, a product all about Chinese mythology and wealth.

In this offering, the studio has really shown they know how to craft appealing games with good graphics and tantalizing features.
