Tiki Princess Hold and Win Review
Tiki Princess Hold and Win is a 5-reel, 20 payline Tiki-themed slot developed by SYNOT Games. This high volatility slot can see players win up to 5,000x their stake by way of expanding wild symbols, a gamble feature, a lucrative Hold and Win feature and a Free Spins feature that sees the reels link to accommodate giant symbols.
Design
If there's one thing we always want to see in a good Tiki-themed slot it's bright and vibrant colours, well-designed reels and a cheerful soundtrack... And we're delighted to announce that Tiki Princess Hold and Win delivers all of this and more!
Behind the reels players are treated to a beautiful beach scene that sees a calm ocean slowly wash onto golden sands, in front of this beach are tall palm trees that help complete that exotic vibe we were so keen to see in this slot. During the bonus features, the entire landscape turns to night and a beautiful purple hue fills the screen.
Low paying symbols are all fruits, these include cherries, a lemon, an orange, a plum and a bunch of grapes. As you would expect in such a game, high paying symbols are all Tiki Totem heads in different colours (blue, green, red and white). Special symbols include the Tiki Princess herself as the expanded wild symbol, a volcano for the scatter symbol and a seashell for the bonus symbol.
The soundtrack to this game is traditional lūʻau (luau to non-Hawaiian natives) music that's actually way more calming than we initially expected. Whenever players land any special bonus symbol an intense soundtrack kicks in, building anticipation for a potential feature triggering symbol.
Gameplay
SYNOT Games have designed Tiki Princess so that's incredibly accessible to new online slot players. It's designed to look and feel like a classic online slot or fruit machine slot you might find in Las Vegas with the paylines displayed on either side of the reels.
In terms of navigating this slot, there's an action bar along the bottom of the game screen that features a hamburger menu (giving players access to the game rules, paytable and sound settings), a stake selection tool, max bet button, spin button and autospin button.
Win Potential
Tike Princess Hold and Win is a high volatility slot that has an RTP of 96.02% and a maximum win potential of 5,000x player's stake. During our gameplay session, we found ourselves picking up plenty of small wins by way of the expanding wild symbol that featured quite frequently.
We did find ourselves in a bit of a slog to trigger the Hold and Win and Free Spins features, but with some persistence, we eventually made it there, and when we did the wins were HUGE! If you've got a decent-sized bankroll and are prepared for high volatility gameplay then we'd recommend giving this Tiki-themed slot a play as it can provide some good returns given some patience.
Our Verdict
We have a lot of time for Tiki Princess Hold and Win, sometimes developers are guilty of scrimping on bonus features (such as free spins) when their game features the Hold and Win mechanic... But not SYNOT Games, they've delivered a good-looking Tiki-themed slot that is filled with wonderfully exciting bonuses that give players a real chance of walking away with a hefty sum of money.
