Theme of The Game
Tiki Paradise is as much about the tropical islands from the Pacific, as it is about the local religions that were left behind by people living there hundreds or thousands of years ago.
The Tiki was considered by the Maori to be the first human to walk the Earth, and carved statues of the gods from this religion were found everywhere in the region, in Polynesia.
Since these islands are tropical and often perfect for visitors that are looking to spend their vacation there, pokie developers took advantage and created multiple pokie machines with this topic. The Tiki angle isn’t unique to this pokie machine, and I know of others that do it even better.
Developer
An older company, Playtech has been around since 1999, the year it was founded. There are more than 3,500 people that work for Playtech right now, a big company which is listed at London’s Stock Exchange.
A large number of pokies they released have licensed content in them, but Tiki Paradise is obviously not one of them. The design quality and the playability of their pokies are very good usually.
How To Play It
The pokie’s betting system relies on 20 paylines, which you cover with individual wagers, and whose value you pick. There are 5 reels with three symbols each, so it’s a standard layout, used in hundreds of other pokie machines.
I’m not that happy about the design which is used by Tiki Paradise. Pokies which are inspired by tropical islands tend to do very well graphics wise, but this pokie doesn’t do that. You have reels which are separated through bamboo sticks, with the payline numbers being made out of rope and wood. The same type of design is used for the display and betting options.
The symbols in use appear to come stacked, so that’s one thing to keep in mind since it changes the way your wins come. Playing cards are present in the pokie, coming in different colors but looking like they are made out of wood.
Special Features
The wild reel is a feature which is often found in pokie machines. This is usually an expanding wild, which activates and takes over the entire reel. It’s quite easy to recognize in this case, where the Wild Logo is used to represent it. In order for a wild to be of help, you need the symbols from a payline to be in the necessary positions, with only one symbol missing, the one that the wild will substitute for.
The Win Shuffle appears to be a feature which changes reels around multiple times, until you get a winning combination out of it. The wild reel might start on the 5th column and end up on the 2nd or the 1st, and the same can happen with regular symbols. It’s an unusual feature, one that I haven’t seen before.
Maximum Payouts
We don’t know right now what kind of payouts we can expect from Tiki Paradise. Normally, in a pokie with paylines, the payouts should be at least decent, but you never know.
Summary
The game has some good features and hopefully it will give you enough chances to win big, but the design is disappointing, especially for a pokie which is supposed to look inviting enough to make you want to take a vacation on that island.
