Tiki Beach - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Pack your case with your sunglasses, sun hat and flip flops and head off on a holiday to the cartoonish world of Tiki Beach. Your trip may include some wild and free spinning action, but you may want to rethink your destination if you are looking for a sophisticated slot.

Tiki Beach Theme and Storyline

Just like the slant of the Tiki Tumble slot, this is a beach themed slot with a Tiki twist. Tiki is said to have been the first man created by Tane or Tumatauenga in Māori mythology but is now probably better known for the associated wooden or stone human-style carvings. It should come as no surprise that the reels and surrounding design features make you feel like you are on a beach holiday in New Zealand. Symbols include patterned shirts, toucans, fish, suitcases, and guitars. The music is just as thematic and transports you on your travels with just a few bars of jaunty music.

The design is cartoon-like and quite basic. Although this might seem a little childlike, it does make the layout really clear and the settings and game information easy to see. 

 
Tiki Beach RTP and Variance

The RTP of this game is 90.01 per cent. This is incredibly low given that the industry average for this kind of slot is around 96 per cent. The variance is unknown, but we think it plays like a medium variance game, with maybe an edge toward the lower-volatility end of the spectrum.

How to Play Tiki Beach

You won’t find a clearer game screen than the one in Tiki Beach, but to make sure you don’t have to spend any time at all getting acclimatised during your Māori adventure, here are a few tips on how to play the Tiki Beach slot.

1. All of the settings you need are set out clearly below the reels.
2. In the bottom right corner of the screen, there is a cluster of four tabs. Here you will find the sound settings, the paytable, and the game rules.
3. In the opposite corner, there is the start button and the autoplay settings.
4. Use the plus and minus arrows to decide how much you want your bet per line to be.

Tiki Beach Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The minimum bet in this game is 1 per line, and if you want to bet all 20 paylines, this means the lowest stake is 20 per spin. The highest bet per line is 100, meaning a maximum betting limit of 2,000 per spin. This is a good betting rate that even high-rolling players should enjoy.

Of course, you don’t have to bet all of the lines, and there are choices displayed on either side of the reels. Choose the number that corresponds to the number of lines you want to play and the game will automatically alter your total bet and show you which paylines will be active when you spin.

Wins are awarded for getting between three and five matching symbols. If you bet the maximum amount per spin, here is what you could win for five-of-a-kind combinations:

Tiki maracas - 30,000

Fish - 25,000

Suitcase - 20,000

Sunglasses - 15,000

Guitar - 10,000

Floral shirt - 7,500

Toucan - 6,000

Sun hat - 5,000

Flip flops - 4,000

Free spins symbol - 30

Tiki Beach Bonus Features

This is not the game to choose if you’re looking for lots of bonus features, but there are a couple to give the entertainment value of the game a little boost. There is a Tiki wild that can replace any of the other symbols except for the free spins icon to help you to create wins.

The free spins are the major bonuses of the game and rely on you landing at least three of the free spins symbols anywhere on the reels. The number of these icons that you land influences how many free spins you will win. Get three and you will be rewarded with eight bonus games. If you manage to land four free spins symbols, you will get 15 extra games, whilst five of the icons will lead to you getting the maximum award of 30 free spins.

Tiki Beach Review

This choice of Platipus demo slots is a cheerful game with its jaunty, holiday-esque music and its cartoon graphics. It is far from a sophisticated option, however. In fact, everything about this slot is pretty basic, from the graphics to the bonus features on offer. Yes, there are two of the most popular bonuses included - the wild symbol and free spins - but it’s doubtful this will be enough to keep anyone amused for very long. 

Unfortunately, this slot occupies such a place in middle ground that we wonder who might actually choose to play this game more than once. It is not one for the slots purist who is looking for more traditional games, nor will it appeal to those players looking for more contemporary games with bags of bonuses available to win. This means that whilst there is nothing glaringly wrong with this slot - apart from the super-low RTP, of course - we are struggling to give you any reasons to choose this game over hundreds of others you could play in free slots demo mode.
