Totem Island - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

Totem Island is a spooky place, full of surprises for the visitor, fortunately some of them are good ones. Designed by Evoplay, Totem Island is an online slot played on a 5x3 reel set which generates 20 bet ways paying left to right.

The game is packed with features, one of which is a bonus game triggered by the 3 or more bonus symbols in the base game. A scatter symbol activates not only free spins, but leads to an extra bonus with the chance to land multipliers and free games. The scatter does not appear on reel 3, but is a paying symbol. There is also a wild symbol on the centre reel, which substitutes for all other symbols apart from the bonus and scatter. It expands to fill the reels, and triggers a re-spin of the other outside reels.

In all there are 8 paying symbols other than the scatter. The highest value ones are the 3 masks, and these are supplemented by 5 playing card symbols ranging from ace to 10.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

We are on a remote island, inhabited by friendly looking natives, but the shaman is lurking in the background, evidenced by the presence of his masks on the reels. The graphics are beautifully designed, reflecting tribal art and weapons. The reels sit in a wooden frame, with ornately carved masks piled on either side, while menacing skulls sit on top.

To the left a native stands in front of his hut, and is animated to encourage the spinning of the reels. Other examples of his possessions appear at the bottom of the screen along with a chest of treasure. In the background is the deep jungle with its verdant mountains in the distance, and the soundtrack sets the mood, with the sound of the shaman’s bag of bones rattling as the reels spin.

If this theme appeals to you, why not try a game with a better RTP and more paylines such as Tiki Totems slot which you can find here at Slots Temple.

Totem Island Bonus Features & Free Spins 

Three or more bonus symbols trigger the bonus game, in the base game only. Once in the bonus game there are 12 stones to choose from and you need to collect three matching fire, water, wind or earth icons to win a prize.
Three or more scatter symbols trigger 20 free spins. If the scatter and wild appear together during this phase, the former will lock in place increasing the chances of re-triggering free spins. At the end of this phase, there is an extra bonus. Choose 1 of 3 cards to win a X2 or X3 multiplier or 20 further free spins. The bonus cannot be re-triggered at the end of extra free games.

Totem Island Review 

This is a beautifully designed game, with lots of features and, more importantly, bonuses. With a wide betting range it will appeal to many players, but watch out, the RTP is pretty low.
