Tiki Tiki Boom Slot Review

You’ve heard of tick, tick, boom! Now there’s Tiki Tiki Boom, the newest video slot from Microgaming. As you might expect, tropical beaches and indigenous art (particularly masks) feature pretty prominently. The layout is also fairly standard, with 5 reels and 20 paylines. Our Tiki Tiki Boom slot review will explain the details, including the wild booms, coin multipliers, and the link & win feature.

Sand, Sea and Palm Trees

Not everyone has the time or the money to go jetting off to a tropical beach when they feel like it, but slots can try to recreate some of that inviting atmosphere at home. The Tiki Tiki Boom slot puts its elaborately decorated wooden reels just above the golden sand, with the broad blue sea stretching behind them and a palm tree framing either side. The only thing that isn’t part of the traditional holiday setup is the barrel half-buried in the sand. There’s a fuse emerging from the top suggesting something explosive inside.

That’s what you'll find in the base game. For link & win, the barrel is gone and the blue sky turns sunset pink as torches light the way.

Tiki Masks

Tiki masks in slots can be a bit generic, but they do have important historical and cultural contexts. In Māori mythology, Tiki was the first man, so the wooden and stone humanoid carvings that represent him have great spiritual value. Other Polynesian cultures have similar artefacts representing either gods or honoured ancestors. Today, the aesthetic has been borrowed for so-called “Tiki culture”, an American-led movement to use it in everything from bars and clothing to, yes, slots. That’s why you see those colourful tiki masks on the reels.

Tiki Tiki Boom RTP and Variance

Casinos may choose to vary the RTP of the Tiki Tiki Boom slot, but the average return is 96.09%. The variance is medium.

How to Play Tiki Tiki Boom

Make sure you’re dressed for the beach:

1. You’ll see most of the buttons you need on the right, starting with the menu. That’s where you’ll find the details on rules, payout potential and the Tiki Tiki Boom bonus features.
2. One of the most important things to do before you start spinning the reels is to make a sensible wager that accounts for your budget. You have two options: click the stack of coins or use the plus and minus symbols.
3. A less important setting but one you still may want to tweak is the sound. There’s a speaker button that you can press.
4. Spin is, as in most slots, the biggest button. You can press it to start playing, but that’s where your ability to influence events ends. There’s no guarantee of winning symbols.
5. Review settings after every turn, take regular breaks and don’t chase losses.
6. Have fun and play responsibly.

How to Win at Tiki Tiki Boom

Slots like Tiki Tiki Boom aren’t too complicated when it comes to their base game. You have 20 paylines across the 5 reels, and you need to find combinations of matching symbols across those paylines. There are 8 regular paying symbols, as well as special symbols like the wild and scatter.

Top Wins

• Each symbol starts to pay when you match it three times, but the top wins are for five winning symbols combined.
• The four card symbols are lower in value, whilst the four themed masks are worth more.
• It’s the red mask that can offer the biggest regular win. It’s worth x8 your bet for five matches. That’s the same value as the wild.
• Each coin comes with a win multiplier of x7.
• Overall, the max win available is x11,000.

Tiki Tiki Boom Bonuses

Wild booms are a feature that can add extra wild symbols to your reels. Tiki Tiki Spins are a form of link & win feature, similar to what’s known as a hold & win feature, where you have extra spins to try to collect prizes.

Wild Booms

Remember when we said the barrel has a fuse? Well, barrel tokens can be collected in the wild barrel, and when it explodes, it releases up to 15 wilds at a time.

Tiki Tiki Spins

Find the scatter symbol three times to enter this link & win bonus round, or find it twice to start collecting tokens in the feature upgrade meter. This allows you to unlock one row of Tiki Tiki Spins at a time.

Tiki Tiki Spins start with 3 re-spins, which you can reset every time you find a coin or feature modifier. All positions on the reels in this feature have coins, modifiers or blank spaces. Modifiers include collecting all coins, a win multiplier of up to x20, splitting coins into doubles or quads, or doubling the value of your coins. Fill every position for a 2500x increase to your total win.

Max-win 11,000x

Volatility Medium

Top RTP 96.09%

Tiki Tiki Boom Review - Summary 

The Tiki Tiki Boom slot looks like what we’d expect from a game with “tiki” in the title but has an explosive extra that doesn’t regularly appear in slots with the same theme. It also has a link & win bonus round to both add depth the gameplay and add more opportunities to increase your win if you’re lucky. Then you can compare it to every other Microgaming slot in our library to pick your favourite.
