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

Introduction

If Tiki Fortune, one of our favourite JVL free slots online, does anything, it makes us want to go on holiday. Its setting is so idyllic that you’ll almost forget you’re meant to be spinning those five reels. When you do spin them, there’s not just the chance of filling one of the five paylines: you may even spot the tiki shaped expanding wild. It may have lots of fruit, but as our Tiki Fortune slot review will show, this is not a classic fruit machine.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

What exactly is a tiki? It shows up in lots of online slots, but not always with much context outside of a tropical setting. Tiki was actually the first man in Māori mythology, their equivalent of Adam. A tiki is traditionally a humanoid wooden or stone carving representing him. Similar concepts are found throughout Polynesia. White people are the ones who have turned it into a more generic symbol of luck.

Tiki Fortune is a beautiful slot. There’s no other way to put it. The colours are deep and vibrant, with a sparkling ocean, golden beach and a frame of luscious pink flowers growing around the reels. On the reels themselves there are fruits - a little like a traditional fruit machine but drawn so realistically you want to pick them up and eat them. Other symbols, like the bird, ukulele and indigenous woman, put the Tiki Fortune slot firmly in Hawaii, as does the local music playing over the idyllic sound of the waves.

Tiki Fortune RTP and Variance

When we first played the Tiki Fortune online slot, we were happy to see it had an RTP of 96.05%. Receiving 96.05 for every 100 bet is not a bad figure, though all the normal caveats about theoretical averages apply. Don’t go away thinking you’re guaranteed to see that return.

It’s also trickier because there doesn’t appear to be an official variance figure to set expectations about frequency of wins. You’ll have to play among our free casino slots to get a feel for yourself.

How to Play Tiki Fortune

You can’t just relax on the beach - there are reels to spin:

1. There’s a menu button in the bottom corner. It will take you straight to the settings page to switch volume and background music on or off or activate the space bar to spin.
2. From here you can navigate to an info page to flick through the paytable and rules or to the game history - useful for keeping track of your budget and knowing when to take a break.
3. Back to the main screen and there is another volume button, in the opposite corner, where you can click between loud, quiet and mute.
4. Most important is going to the plus and minus symbols to adjust your bet to the most appropriate level. Free casino slots are your opportunity to get into responsible betting habits.
5. Framing the central spin button is where you should find the autoplay button and a fast play option. Autoplay does allow you to include your limits as stopping points, giving you more control.
6. It’s time to spin: hope for the best, and most of all have fun.

When the fun stops, stop.

Bet & Win Sizes

A trip to the bet adjustor could take you from a 0.10 minimum to a 100.00 maximum, which is a pretty fair range for online slots.

As for your wins, you need to match symbols. With the exception of the scatter, which pays from anywhere, they have to be adjacent and consecutive across a payline. What happens if you find the maximum of five symbols? Well, your bet will be combined with the following paytable values:

Cherries, Plum, Orange, Lemon - 100

Shell - 200

Ukulele, Bird - 500

Woman - 3000

Turtle scatter - 20x bet (three matches maximum)

Starfish scatter - 100x bet

Max-win 1,246x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 96.05%

Tiki Fortune Bonus Features

There’s one other symbol that we haven’t talked about yet, and it represents the main bonus in Tiki Fortune. That’s the wild symbol. It’s represented by the tiki itself. Now, lots of online slots have wilds, and they’re always welcome. They act as substitutes for other symbols when you’re missing the final spot in a line.

What makes this wild special is that it doesn’t just fill one space. No, it’s an expanding wild, meaning it can grow to fill an entire reel. Now that really does give you more chances to win. It’s exciting to watch, too.

Tiki Fortune Review

If you’re dreaming of that beach holiday but you know it’s not going to happen any time soon, then perhaps a visit to Tiki Fortune will help you de-stress a little. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and will immerse you in its tropical paradise. It may not have much in the way of bonus features (you might prefer the Gonzita's Quest slot), but the expanding wild is more than welcome and the basic gameplay is still full of fun.
