Tahiti Gold

Tahiti Gold review

Elk Studios has decided to surprise us with another impressive-looking slot this summer – the new Tahiti Gold slot is a sequel to Ecuador Gold, which was released earlier this year, and evokes a similar sense of adventure by transporting players to another exotic location on their hunt for rewards! With up to 262,144 ways to win and 2 base game features, there will be plenty going on once you start giving this game a few spins! Read our review of Tahiti Gold below to learn more about it before you check it out for yourself!

Tahiti Gold slot features

Tahiti Gold is a 6-reel slot that starts with 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win, and is set on a volcano island in the Pacific Ocean. Symbols on the reels include 4 carved shapes of a low value, medium-value turtles, toads, lizards and a hammer shark, 3 totem masks and Kane the adventurer, which is the highest-paying symbol (that, disappointingly, pays out only 3.5 times your stake!). There’s also a wild symbol, which replaces all symbols on the reels except the bonus symbol, the Wild Forge and the Eye of Tiki.

As you play Tahiti Gold, you’ll notice some big symbols making their way to the reels; you’ve got the standard 1×1, the super 2×2, mega 3x3s and epic 4×4 symbols, which will crush smaller symbols beneath them to lead to additional consecutive wins.

Each time you land on a win as you play Tahiti Gold slot, you will cause an avalanche effect, and the ways to win on your next spin will increase as follows:

• 4 rows = 4,096 ways to win (this is how you start the game)
• 5 rows = 15,625 ways to win
• 6 rows = 46,656 ways to win
• 7 rows = 117,649 ways to win
• 8 rows = 262,144 ways to win

Once you stop winning, the reel set will revert back to the initial 4 row/4,096 ways to win format.

During the base game, The Wild Forge symbol can land on reels 3,4, 5 and 6 to trigger the Wild Forge feature. This symbol will then fill the empty spaces beneath it with wilds following the avalanche effect, and lock into position.

Players should also look out for the Eye of Tiki symbol, as 2 or more of these will trigger the Eye of Tiki feature when there are no other winning combinations. Symbols adjacent to or included in the positions between the Eye of Tiki symbols will then explode, and other symbols will appear. An extra row of symbols is then added with the drop, and if you keep winning, you can extend the reel set by up to 8 rows.

Tahiti Gold slot free spins

If you get 3 or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels as you play Tahiti Gold slot, you shall trigger the Free Drops Bonus feature, which is equivalent to free spins! 3, 4, 5 or 6 of these symbols will award 10, 15, 20 or 25 free spins respectively.

The free spins round takes place in a changed setting at dusk. You will keep enjoying the Wild Forge and Eye of Tiki features (and any wilds generated by the former will remain sticky!). The round begins with 4 rows, and every winning spin advances the level by 1. You can extend the reel set by getting up to 8 rows, which gets you to the maximum of 262,144 ways to win. And the good news is, unlike the base game, you won’t go back to level 1 once you progress a level during the free spins. Players will also be able to win additional spins if they get another 3 or more bonus symbols.

Tahiti Gold slot min/max bets, RTP, volatility and maximum win

Tahiti Gold has now been released, and you can play it for real money by staking from £1 to £100 on each spin. The game RTP is 96.1% and volatility is high, making it hard to unleash its full potential. If you’re lucky, you can win up to 5,000x your stake in Tahiti Gold, once you’ve extended the reel set to 262,144 ways to win – which, admittedly, is difficult!

Tahiti Gold slot graphics and sound

Elk Studios has a reputation for being extremely creative, and Tahiti Gold is no exception – all the symbols have been exceptionally designed in great detail, and the setting is simply inspiring, with symbols dropping down against a lagoon with a shipwreck and volcano background, totems and tribal face masks surrounding the reels, not to mention the stunning waterfalls and lights as you get into the free spins round! Tribal music will play in the background, keeping you on the alert for the rewards to come!

Tahiti Gold slot – our Conclusion

Tahiti Gold is a very attractive game with a couple of exciting features, but players have to be wary of its high volatility – most base game payouts will be very low, and bonus frequency seems to be poor as well, making it hard to get into the bonus game. The maximum win potential of 5,000x is significant, and is double the amount players can expect from Ecuador Gold. Overall, we think it’s an improvement on its predecessor and a great addition to the selection of games with avalanche mechanisms that seem to be growing in popularity lately!
