Tiki Runner 2 DoubleMax: Slot Overview

In Polynesian culture, tiki masks have a long history, and they appear regularly in online slots around here. Some game studios have developed a fondness for them, bringing them to life in a humorous, pally manner.

Bulletproof Games released a slot a couple of years ago called Tiki Runner, which featured cascading wins that led to free spins and a progressive win multiplier. The win multiplier has been exponentially increased thanks to Yggdrasil's DoubleMax mechanic.

DoubleMax's version of Tiki Runner will feel familiar right from the start if you've played the original. Gaming takes place on a 5-reel, 3-row game panel, which is surrounded by so much supplemental material that it appears bigger than it is.

There is a cascade trail beneath the grid, and a win multiplier meter on the right, flanked by a pair of expressive tikis. The base game takes place on a powdery white sand beach, before shifting to a darker location for the free spins round.

As for the math, RTP has dropped slightly from the original, resulting in 95.5%. With 20 fixed paylines, players can expect line wins around 28% of the time, triggering a cascade mechanism that is central to the Tiki Runner 2 gameplay.

The tikis in the game look pretty happy go lucky, but don't be fooled, the math model offers significant rewards; maybe that's why they're smiling? Any device can be used to crack the big bucks, with bets ranging from 20p/c to £50/€50 per spin.

The process begins with landing a humble line win, which occurs when three matching symbols land on a payline from the left. Low-value symbols are five square-cut oranges, kiwifruit, pineapples, coconuts, and watermelons. A five-symbol hit pays 1 to 2x the stake.

The high pays feature three tiki characters and the game's logo. A five-symbol combo triggers a payout of 2.5 to 10x the stake. The cascade feature creates a big grassy wild symbol to substitute all regular symbols when winning symbols are removed.

Cascades

The cascades are the tinder box that may or may not ignite Tiki Runner 2 DoubleMax. When a winning combination lands, it is removed from the reels, and any empty spaces are filled by symbols falling from above. A wild symbol will be placed in one of the empty positions. Additionally, consecutive cascades activate DoubleMax and move the Tiki Runner character along the free spins trail at the bottom of the screen.

DoubleMax

Cascade wins increase the win multiplier by x2 with no discernible limit except the win cap. The DoubleMax multiplier resets between spins in the base game.

Free Spins

When 5, 6, 7, or 8 consecutive cascades occur during the main game, players win 7, 10, 12, or 15 free spins. In free spins, the DoubleMax multiplier does not reset until the feature ends. The tiki runner also awards 3, 7, 10, 12, or 15 extra free spins when four, five, six, seven, or eight consecutive cascades occur.

Encore Mode

It is theoretically less likely that players will trigger free spins if they activate Encore Mode than when they trigger them organically. This increases the stake by 50% and reduces free spins frequency to 1 in 110, on average. This is accomplished by changing two positions on the cascade trail to respins, similar to how it was used in Crystal Falls Multimax. A respin is awarded if cascades end there to give players a chance to trigger free spins.

Buy A Bonus

For 100x the wager, players in permitted countries can buy free spins right away if Encore Mode isn't fast enough. The player is now at position 7 on the free spins trail. It is possible to cascade more free spins before free spins start with a free respin before free spins begin.

Tiki Runner 2 DoubleMax: Slot Verdict

Try Tiki Runner 2 DoubleMax if you liked the multiplier growth effect in Raptor DoubleMax. Its doubling power is as potent in the tiki-filled Pacific Ocean as it was in the dino era of Yggdrasil's release. However, players will undoubtedly gravitate towards one over the other.

For some, the engaging B-movie-like quality of Raptor DoubleMax's theme will be the winner. Others may prefer cheerful tiki led antics, though Tiki Runner 2 DoubleMax does score a few less cool points for being a remake rather than a brand-new experience.

Tiki Runner was a wise choice for a DoubleMax makeover. One of its advantages is that it already has a progressive multiplier in free spins, and its cascade, cascade trail makes it a perfect partner for free spins. From there, it was only a short step to the roller coaster provided by DoubleMax.

Multiplier values can reach dizzying heights, possibly even in the base game, though they are greatly benefited in free spins since they don't reset. With all the multiplier doublings, wins around 20,000x the bet are possible, presumably with some sort of cap in place to prevent them from going parabolic.
