Tiko Spicy Chef Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Things could really heat up for players taking on Chef Tiko in this action-packed game full of exciting game modifiers and the chance to win a huge jackpot.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Tiko Spicy Chef is easy on the eye with a large playing grid which takes up most of the screen plus easily distinguishable symbols to make wins simple to spot. The reels are in a sizzling wok from which steam rises frequently adding to the hot element of the game. A bottle of spicy sauce next to the pan adds extra spice to an already quite tasty game. The symbols are a mix of culinary delights such as sushi, soup, figs, and red chillies, mixed with the more traditional gaming symbols of tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces. 

The eponymous Chef Tiko is a friendly looking chameleon in a white chef’s hat who changes colour when things heat up. At the end of a winning spin, flames rise from the bottom of the reels and the symbols involved in the win are replaced with fresh symbols. The soundtrack is pleasant, non-intrusive and it is only when the free spins are won that a Hollywood-esque beat kicks in. 

Overall, the theme, graphics, and soundtrack of Tiko Spicy Chef offer something different to other food themed games such as Pig’s Feast and the Chef Wars slot.

Tiko Spicy Chef Bonus Features

Free Spins - free spins are won by achieving a minimum of four consecutive wins from the same spin via the cascading reels. Progress is shown at the left of the reels and the higher up the gauge goes, the more free spins are won. Between 7 and 50 free spins are up for grabs. During the free spin feature all wild symbols are stacked in groups of six. Free spins cannot be retriggered.

Tiko’s Love of Good Food Feature - when Chef Tiko lands, anywhere in view, and an insect is perched on a landing wild symbol one of the modifiers is triggered.

a) Extending Wild - Chef Tiko expands to turn the reel wild.
b) Random Wild - Chef Tiko spits either 1 or 2 random positions wild.
c) Locked Wild - Chef Tiko turns to stone and holds in place for the next three cascades.

This feature also plays during free spins.

Wok Toss - at the end of random spins during the base game, fire rises from the bottom of the pan and sets selected symbols on fire. When the fire is extinguished, they either become matching or are replaced with new symbols.

Jackpot Game - the jackpot round can only be won during the free spins feature. Entry to the jackpot game occurs when the golden insect is caught by Chef Tiko. Players are then presented with twelve order forms and the aim is to collect coloured fireflies until 3 of the same colour are revealed. This colour determines which level of jackpot is won. There are four jackpot amounts on offer, copper, bronze, silver, and gold. The gold jackpot pays 2000.
