Free slot: Tiki Pop

How Tiki Pop works

Tiki Pop is a slot machine developed by the Avatar UX studio and owned by the online game provider Yggdrasil. This slot will be available in many online casinos from February 2021 and is based on the principle and functionalities of Cherry Pop, which has been the flagship attraction of this provider for several months. Tiki Pop is the fifth creation of the "Pop" saga. This slot takes us to the edge of a mysterious Polynesian forest in which some secrets and many treasures are hidden. As usual, Avatar UX takes care of its graphics, which is the strength of Tiki Pop, and the soundtrack will remind you of tribal jungles. These details allow you to live a unique gaming experience on this machine.

Tiki Pop is a slot machine that looks classic at first glance, but which in reality is made up of many original features, either as a base game or as a bonus.

Indeed, this online game has 5 reels containing initially 3 symbols. With each connection of identical symbols, the reels concerned will expand, and can reach up to 5 slots per column. When all the reels contain 5 symbols, all the winnings generated by the connections will be multiplied by two.

The different symbols of Tiki Pop

Tiki Pop contains many symbols with different values depending on their rarity. They are divided into 2 categories: classic symbols and premium symbols. The first named symbols all have the same value and are represented by the strongest symbols in a deck of cards, i.e. the Jack, Queen, King and Ace.

There are also symbols inspired by Polynesian tribes on a blue, purple, green, orange or pink background: these are the premium symbols. These will be more difficult to connect but will be the most remunerative.

Tiki Pop also features a very valuable symbol. This symbol is represented by a mysterious golden object and can earn you up to 10 times your bet per connection. This symbol only appears during free spins.

The different connections of Tiki Pop

Tiki Pop uses PopWins technology, invented by the Avatar UX studio. This technology allows you to make connections more easily and to have a better understanding of missing symbols.

Unlike most slot machines, Tiki Pop does not contain predefined paylines. Rather, we are talking about adjacent connections, which means that a connection will be made if a symbol is present on at least the first 3 reels, its location within the reel not being important.

Thanks to this technology, when the tray is in 5x3 format, 486 potential connections are available. During the free rounds, the grid offers you up to 33,614 different ways to make connections! Tiki Pop can be read from left to right but also from right to left.

How the Tiki Pop bonus works

Like many slot machines, Tiki Pop contains a bonus feature that has made slots such as Cherry Pop or Bounty Pop famous. To access this bonus, you have 2 options:

• buy the bonus (100 times your initial bet)

• Get the bonus by seeing 3 scatter symbols on the same round of the game.

First, Tiki Pop offers you 7 free laps. This number can be increased with the famous "Pop" slot machine gamble function. Indeed, you have the possibility of triggering a wheel that offers you a 50% chance of getting 4 extra spins, but also of losing everything. This can be done twice, potentially reaching a total of 15 free spins.

When the Tiki Pop bonus starts, the starting setup is randomly selected from the following possibilities :

• 4-3-3-3-4

• 4-4-3-4-4

• 4-4-4-4-4

• 5-4-3-4-5

• 5-5-5-5-5

These numbers correspond to the number of symbols present on each reel at the beginning of the Tiki Pop bonus. Each connection you make will enlarge the reels concerned, and you will need to connect all the reels together to increase the entire grid. If during a free spin connections take place on only 4 reels, the setup automatically reverts to the basic setup.

With each connection, the multiplier on the left of the slot increases by 1 and will act on each gain. When the maximum setup is reached (7 symbols on each reel), the multiplier will increase by 2 for each connection and 2 or 4 spins will be added to the remaining free spins.

Our opinion on Tiki Pop

Once again, Yggdrasil and Avatar UX strike a big blow in the world of online gambling with Tiki Pop. This online game is directly inspired by Cherry Pop, the slot machine that revolutionised the world of slots last year. Thanks to original features in the base game, as well as a gamble function very appreciated by the community, there is no doubt that Tiki Pop will have the same success as its big sister in the coming weeks! As you will have understood, Tiki Pop is an extremely volatile online game. This slot machine has a payout ratio (RTP) of around 96.10% and has a maximum multiplier of up to 32,015 times your initial bet!
