Slot Details

RoTiki is a 6×8 rotating block slot with cluster pays. Match five or more horizontally or vertically adjacent symbols in a cluster for a win. You can take the carved blocks for a spin from 0.05 to 100 credits per spin. This game is highly volatile, with a RTP of 96.20%. Alternative RTP models are offered at 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20% and as low as 84.20%. When loaded, you can check the current setting by clicking the ‘?’ icon in the game window.

RoTiki is a brightly coloured blend of Maori inspired graphics with a volcanic mountain range for the setting. Tiki totem poles frame the grid, and Maori chanting graces the gameplay alongside tribal music. RoTiki is a feast for the eyes in true Play’n GO style.

The pay symbols start at the low end with animal hieroglyphs in green, red, blue and purple, awarding 20x your stake for a maximum cluster of 48 symbols. Green, red, blue and purple tiki masks come next, awarding from 40x to 100x your bet for a full-screen cluster.

Gold blocks feature a ‘w’ as the wild symbols, which substitute all others in winning clusters, and activate a spin modifier at random. The bonus game is triggered by completing a full-screen cluster of 48 symbols.

RoTiki Slot Features

RoTiki looks similar to Contact by Play’n GO, which has a similar layout and drop ‘n’ stick cluster redrops. RoTiki plays a different game with sticky clusters and rotating blocks of symbols, a rare and somewhat innovative mechanic for the studio. Let’s take a closer look at the colourful magic.

Most grid slots are partnered with a cascading mechanic to replace empty positions created by winning combos removed from play. RoTiki does things slightly different on a grid of 48 rotating symbol blocks. On a basic spin, winning clusters will be held for three respins while the remaining non-winning blocks rotate, introducing new symbols.

If new adjacent symbols match the winning cluster, they will lock, increasing the size of the cluster held. At the end of the respins, the total cluster win is awarded. During the spin sequence, fill a row with matching symbols across the grid to win three further respins. When respins end, any wild symbols in play can award a random Tiki Magic feature:

• Whakarei: Upgrades a respective cluster to a random mask symbol or higher-paying mask. Activates if the wild is part of a single cluster only.
• Hanumi: Activates only when the wild is part of more than one cluster by merging the clusters into one that contains the most valuable symbol from the available clusters.

Completing a row of symbols with Tiki Magic will award another sequence of three respins. Wild symbols are checked for Tiki Magic in order of appearance, and if a Tiki Magic feature triggers, it activates immediately, and any unchecked wilds will remain queued for the next available opportunity.

Fill the grid with symbols to trigger the Treasure Room Bonus Game. The blocks are replaced with pick ‘n’ click tiles in the image of a tiki mask, and the aim is to build a final win multiplier that will apply to your winnings from the triggering spin. The round starts with a number of picks determined by your remaining respins from the triggering spin. Each will reduce your number of picks by one. The 48 tiles are comprised of the following rewards:

• Neutral Tiles x 31: Neutral tiles have no rewards.
• Multiplier Tiles x 9: Reveal a multiplier tile to increase the final win multiplier by an x1 increment.
• Extra Pick Tiles x 6: Awards five extra picks when revealed.
• Maximum Multiplier Tile x 1: Awards the maximum final win multiplier of x10. Revealing this tile ends the bonus.

When you have used all of your picks, the final win multiplier value is applied to your winnings from the triggering spin.

Final Verdict

RoTiki has similar gameplay and theme to Hacksaw Gaming’s Aztec Twist. Both use blocks that rotate symbols for sticky clusters with respins and have a mask to theme the bonus game. The difference is Aztec Twist has more potential and is more volatile, which some will find more exciting,

Though RoTiki has a much keener hit rate, an off-putting 1,000x stake maximum win could be more alluring. However, an advertised 1 in 25,541 chance of hitting the maximum win is a trade-off worth considering. For many, the somewhat hypnotizing gameplay of sticky clusters that grow with respins will be captivating enough to entertain.

Filling the screen to trigger the bonus game is rarely rewarding unless with a single symbol cluster. Take more than one cluster win through, and even the maximum x10 win multiplier will inevitably lead to an anti-climatic finish. RoTiki has some charming spin sequences from rotating blocks with sticky respins, but one can’t help wondering how good it might have been with a better pay system or higher multipliers in the bonus.
