Tahiti Gold Slot – Free Demo

Blue Masks, Kane and an Epic 4x4

This highly volatile slot is built using 6 reels and 4,096 to 262,144 ways to win. Wins pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels, left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. It is entirely about the Free Drops feature, where up to 25 Free Drops can be won, and the whole setup is backed by an RTP of 96.10%. My session ran 300 spins at a 6.00 stake, wagering 1,800.00 and winning back 1,145.40, a session return of 63.6%.

On the reels, there are Blue, Aqua and Green Masks. Six Blue Masks pay 1.8 times the stake, while six Aqua Masks pay 1.6 times and six Green Masks 1.4 times. The most lucrative of all symbols, however, is Kane. It pays 3.5 times the stake for a set of six, and the Wild substitutes for all symbols except Bonus, Wild Forge and Eye of Tiki. Symbols also come in Super 2x2, Mega 3x3 and Epic 4x4 sizes, and a big symbol counts as the number of positions it covers, so a 4x4 counts as 16 symbols.

What three Bonus symbols did on spin 53

I'll jump straight to the Free Drops bonus, which triggers when 3 or more Bonus symbols land. Free Drops arrived once in my session, on spin 53, from 3 Bonus symbols. 3, 4, 5, or 6 of them will award 10, 15, 20, or 25 Free Drops respectively, and it's also possible to retrigger the feature with 3 or more Bonus symbols. Those 10 Free Drops brought no retrigger and paid 360.00, or 60.0 times the stake, taking the balance from 4,758.20 to 5,112.20.

The Free Drops feature is entirely about adding rows and Wilds, and it begins at 4 rows. Symbols in a winning combination explode, and new symbols drop in to fill the gaps. Each winning drop adds a row, up to 8, with no reset. In the base game each avalanche also adds a row at the top, but the grid goes back to 4 rows on every new drop. Wild Forge Wilds are sticky for the remainder of the feature, and at full size, the grid can hit 262,144 ways. When 2 or more Eye of Tiki symbols land, beams connect them, every symbol they touch or enclose explodes, and that drop adds a row as well.

Final Minty Score: 300 spins at 6.00 came back at 63.6%, and a single 10-drop round on spin 53 supplied 31% of everything the session won.

Spin 62 and a grid five rows deep

The game has heaps of win ways, and nobody has to keep count of paylines. At 5 rows the grid offers 15,625 ways.

Tahiti Gold is not a slot I'm going to hurry to play. The largest base-game win of my session was 259.20, or 43.2 times the stake, from an avalanche on 5 rows at spin 62, which also marked the balance peak of 5,377.40. Then again, far plainer slots have become punter favorites. Only 61 of the 300 spins paid, and 32 of those paid less than the stake. Strictly speaking, it's truly a capable slot, and whatever the case, Elk Studios is undeniably a provider I will be keeping an eye on for certain. The longest run without a win lasted 18 spins, ending on spin 292, and the balance finished at its lowest point of 4,345.40.
