Slots review Relax Gaming Sloth Tumble

Sloth Tumble: Slot Overview

Take a breather and embrace a slower pace with Sloth Tumble, an online slot from provider Relax Gaming. Sloths are often labelled as lazy, but spend a little time learning about them and they start to look seriously underrated. Yes, they’re slower than most animals, yet that low-energy lifestyle has helped them survive on Earth for more than 60 million years. Will people manage the same? Either way, it’s time to hang out with Sloth Tumble and find out whether it’s as intriguing as its star.

The face of Sloth Tumble is a sloth called Chip. In the base game, Chip relaxes in a forest setting filled with wooden crates, trees, and a control panel sitting right in the centre. Chip seems perfectly content—unless he’s just drifting off into one of those pleasant “somewhere else” daydreams. With sloths, it’s hard to tell. He also gives off a bit of Flash Slothmore from the animated film Zootopia, a vibe that matches the game’s very cartoonish, kid-like art style overall.

As for the panel itself, Sloth Tumble runs on a 6×6 aligned grid, with 36 boxed-shaped symbols dropping in on every spin. Bets can be set from 20 p/c to $/€10 per paid drop, and it’s a highly volatile slot. The default RTP is 96.11%, and the top prize reaches 100,000 times the bet.

An avalanche mechanic removes winning combinations from the grid, after which remaining and new symbols tumble down to plug the empty spaces. Avalanches keep repeating until a drop produces no fresh wins. Symbol-wise, the low pays are cube icons showing squares, triangles, diamonds, and stars, while the higher pays are grapes, watermelons, oranges, strawberries, with Chip as the best-paying symbol. When wild symbols appear, they expand to fill the full reel where they land. Wilds carry an x6 multiplier and can also collect any multipliers present on that reel. Handy—just note that wilds only show up in free spins, not during the base game.

Sloth Tumble: Slot Features

The other elements in Sloth Tumble to slowly work through are multipliers, blockers, free spins, Super Free Spins, and a bonus buy.

Multipliers

As symbols drop in, there’s a possibility they arrive with multipliers attached, increasing the number of ways to win.

Blockers

The grid doesn’t consist only of paying symbols. It can also land worthless wooden blockers. Any wooden blockers next to winning combinations are removed from the reels, opening space for active symbols to fall in via an avalanche.

Free Spins

Removing all wooden blockers from the grid triggers a random award of 6 to 12 free spins. While free spins are active, the grid becomes entirely unlocked. In free spins, before each avalanche, there’s a chance that 2 to 5 reels turn wild, and yes, they’ll carry a multiplier of x6 or higher as outlined earlier. The feature can also be extended if an extra free spins symbol lands on reel 6, granting additional spins.

Super Free Spins

Wooden blockers may also randomly transform into ice blockers. If all ice blockers are removed during a spin, then 6 to 12 Super Free Spins are awarded instead of the standard set. In Super Free Spins, a key change is that when a multiplier symbol forms part of a winning combination, its multiplier is added to an overall increasing win multiplier. This running multiplier remains for the duration of the feature. Once Super Free Spins finish, players can choose to buy an extra spin while keeping the multiplier intact. This extra spin is purchased using feature winnings rather than the main balance, costing 90x plus 10x the current rising multiplier value.
