Totem Lightning

Hooray for South America. Old Indian secrets await you in Red Tiger's Totem Lightning online slot game, and they bring wins.

The extinct civilizations that once lived in the South American rainforests long ago are clearly popular at Red Tiger. As many times in their games, we'll be venturing into the jungle in search of treasures, lost temples, and sacred places. This time, the Totem Lightning online slot will make us adventurers. We recently had the opportunity to explore totems on the Tiki Fruits slot machine but this time Red Tiger is going about it a little differently.

The Game’s visuals

Once again Red Tiger got us with their visuals. The graphics are beautiful. Detailed, cartoonish, modern, a joy to watch, a joy to play. Unlike its siblings in the Red Tiger portfolio, it doesn't have as many dynamic elements but we weren't too bothered by that here. The slot machine just looks great. Fortunately, the good impression is also enhanced by the sound. The music is based on the melodies of ancient South American tribes. The overall atmosphere is accentuated by the cries of the warriors dancing around the fire – at least that's what we imagined when we heard the background sounds in the game.

Basic game properties

The features of the Totem Lightning slot machine are very decent. 5 reels, 4 rows, and 40 fixed winning lines. And that's not bad at all. For more experienced players, the fact that Red Tiger has used the popular Avalanche game mechanic in this slot will bring a smile from ear to ear. Thus, the reels do not spin but the symbols fall into place from above. Well, when they form a winning combination, they simply disintegrate and the stones above them fall in their place, giving you a sort of free respin. The avalanche is often accompanied by a multiplication of the winnings depending on how many new winning combinations are formed. This is also the case, for example, in the online slot Persian Fortune. However, in Totem Lightning it is different. There is a bar on the right side of the playing field with lower-value symbols. And it is these symbols that disappear after successfully forming new winning combinations. The goal is, of course, to make all the low-value symbols disappear and only the high ones fall for you.

However, we found the old multiplier system better and more advantageous for the player.

The online slot machine is controlled classically on the bottom edge. You can choose the bet amount, enable Turbo mode, or set Autoplay.

Bonus features of the slot machine

The Totem Lightning is also surprising because there is no Wild symbol. Perhaps the most classic of the bonuses, however, you won't miss it one bit. There are other great and original options. Let's start with the best one, the Totem multiplier.

The Totem multiplier is triggered by at least three spun Bonus symbols. When this happens, the game puts you on a special screen with a giant totem pole with totems of a certain value stacked on top of each other. At the bottom of the totem pole, the value of the symbol is x3 and on top is x1000. Your task is to get as high up the pole as possible by choosing the right one of the pipes. So choose well.

However, we also enjoyed the second of the bonuses – Lightning Strike. As soon as lightning strikes the playing field during a game, things start to happen. Firstly, it destroys low-value symbols and in addition, it replaces them with a free respin where only high-value symbols land on the reels. However, it can also hit the low-value bar, always destroying a particular symbol, followed by a free re-spin.

We were happy with the bonuses. They are original and generous, except that the animation when you start the Totem multiplier is unnecessarily long and starts to bore you after a while.

Totem Lightning slot machine review

The South American jungle still seems to hold a lot of secrets, so online slot developers will probably be inspired by it many more times. However, we don't mind it at all, on the contrary, if it would result in such high-quality games as Totem Lightning reviewed today, we would be quite satisfied.
