Temple Tumble Megaways (Relax Gaming): Review

Taking clear visual cues from Push Gaming’s 2018 breakout success Tiki Tumble, this Aztec-inspired slot from Relax Gaming serves up fast-paced action and plenty of entertainment, all wrapped in a polished, well-executed presentation. The free spins bonus offers several modes where you can pick the volatility that suits you, but beyond that the gameplay is fairly clean and uncomplicated, with only a handful of features.

And if Relax Gaming isn’t a name you know well, don’t worry. They’re widely recognized for their open platform (Silver Bullet), which is used by partner studios like Push Gaming, Quickspin and Genesis, while their own in-house releases only started appearing more recently. After a run of somewhat uninspiring titles, the company’s outlook improved notably thanks to securing the Megaways license, first showcased in their online slot Machina.

Temple Tumble is Relax Gaming’s second Megaways title available across all devices from between 0.20 to 100 Eur a spin and played using a 6×6 grid layout with up to 46,656 ways to win. It uses cascading reels, meaning winning symbol groups disappear and are replaced by fresh symbols dropping in.

It’s hard to fault the team behind Temple Tumble’s look and feel, as both the visuals and reel flow are very smooth. With a jungle backdrop, a looming stone statue, and ritual flames framing the action, the symbol set includes 4 low-value A, K, Q and J royals, 3 mid-value gemstones, plus a premium dragon mask and the Aztec face sculpture. The Aztec face sculpture is the top payer, awarding 1 time your stake for 6 of a kind. The adventurer acts as the wild, performing the standard role of substituting for other symbols. One important detail is that the wild can land in every column except the first.

The reels combine stacked and single symbols, and stacks break apart when they form winning combinations. This triggers cascades as new symbols fall in to fill the gaps, potentially creating additional wins. You’ll also encounter stone blocks. These can be frustrating since they often act as blockers (they’re dead symbols), but once removed—by hitting wins adjacent to them—they open space for new symbols and may even help you reach the free spin bonus.

Temple Tumble Megaways (Relax Gaming): Features

The free spins bonus activates once you manage to clear all stone blocks currently on the screen. You begin with 6 free spins, and the action shifts into an underground temple where you must select 1 of 3 bonus modes. They are:

• Extra Spins – Special stone blocks contain extra spins (medium volatility)
• Multipliers & Extra Spins – Special stone blocks contain added multipliers or extra spins (high volatility)
• Multipliers – Special stone blocks contain added multipliers (very high volatility)

So, you effectively get to decide how much risk you want. Choosing the medium volatility option is the steadier route and should more often produce a decent return. Picking the higher-volatility modes, however, gives you a chance at huge payouts, though you’re also more likely to end up with nothing. If the Aztec god is smiling on you, Temple Tumble can deliver wins of close to 8000 times your stake.

Temple Tumble Megaways (Relax Gaming): Conclusion

Thanks to its clear theme and high-end graphics, Temple Tumble is pleasant to play and easy on the eyes. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel overall, but within the Megaways category it still brings a couple of refreshing touches. The stone block mechanic and the ability to choose your preferred volatility during the bonus are the standout elements that help it feel distinct.

The jackpot prize of 7767x is relatively low for a Megaways slot but much higher than average when compared to most casino games available on the market. It’s not the best grid slot we’ve ever played, but it’s genuinely enjoyable to see the Megaways engine interpreted by different developers. It may take a while for the bonus to show up, yet that feature alone makes Temple Tumble well worth a closer look.

If you like this game, be sure to check out Tower Tumble as well from the same provider which is built around roughly the same idea.
