Tiki Treasures Megaways: Review

Travel into a Polynesian jungle in Tiki Treasures Megaways, a 6 reel slot with cascading symbols that can deliver up to 117,649 ways to win when the reels are fully expanded. Sharing a similar flow to Buffalo Rising Megaways, it includes Mystery Symbols and a free spins round where you can pick the volatility you prefer. On top of that, a randomly triggered jackpot game gives you the opportunity to hit a progressive jackpot. Tiki Treasures Megaways is available on all devices with stakes ranging from 10 cents to 100€ per spin.

When the game loads, the logo may throw you off at first because it looks strikingly close to Push Gaming’s Tiki Tumble. Fortunately, the gameplay is completely different. Set against a jungle scene with the reels framed by two totem poles, the soundtrack features energetic, drum-driven traditional music. On the reels you’ll find 9, 10, J, Q, K and A royals alongside 4 distinct tiki masks. Among the regular symbols, the green mask pays the most, awarding 50 times your stake for 6 of a kind. The golden coin acts as the wild and replaces all symbols except the scatter.

Tiki Treasures Megaways: Features

Like plenty of other Megaways titles, Tiki Treasures Megaways uses cascading reels: any symbols that form a win disappear, allowing new ones to drop in from above. These cascades continue for as long as fresh wins keep landing. Reel heights also change on every spin, creating anywhere from 729 up to an impressive 117,649 ways to win. There are also extra positions above reels 2 through to 5 that can contribute to forming winning combinations.

Keep an eye out for the question mark symbol—when it lands, every instance turns into the same matching symbol. This is the Mystery Symbols feature, and it can show up in both the base game and the bonus game.

Spell out T I K I on the reels to activate the Free Spins game. Once triggered, you’ll be offered a choice of free spins and starting multiplier packages. Here are the available options:

• 15 free spins with a x1 multiplier start.
• 10 free spins with a x5 multiplier start.
• 5 free spins with a 10x multiplier start.
• You can also choose to go with the Mystery Choice which awards a random starting multiplier and free spins.

The focus is on rising multipliers, as every winning cascade boosts the win multiplier by 1—without any cap. As with most Megaways releases, the upside is significant, with maximum wins reaching 10,000 times your total stake. That said, the absolute top payout is limited to 250,000€ because the developers have placed a fixed cap on it.

Additional scatter symbols when you trigger free spins will add more spins, but they won’t increase the multipliers. You can also retrigger the free spins round by landing 3 or more scatters anywhere in view during the feature. Also worth noting: unlike Buffalo Rising Megaways, there’s no feature buy option available, so you’ll need to land the bonus naturally.

To finish, there’s the randomly triggered Jackpot King jackpot game, which activates when 4 Jackpot King overlay symbols appear in view. In this mode, you spin to collect crown symbols and climb a win ladder. Gather 15+ symbols and you’ll reach the Wheel King section, where you have a shot at triggering the progressive pot.

Tiki Treasures Megaways: Verdict

There isn’t much that feels truly fresh in Tiki Treasures Megaways apart from the Jackpot feature, which is also already present in many other Blueprint slots. If you’re not specifically chasing jackpots, Buffalo Rising Megaways and Temple of Treasure Megaways are stronger picks since they come with slightly higher RTP.

In terms of looks and overall play, these are all solid games, though it’s hard to ignore how crowded the market has become with clones and near-clones. Even so, the Megaways engine remains hugely popular, and fans of Blueprint’s successful Megaways series will probably welcome another option to test their luck with.
