Coco Tiki

Coco Tiki Review

Coco Tiki has 3 rows and 3 reels as well as 5 fixed pay-lines, which pay both ways. The 3×3 setup is in a tropical holiday theme with a Tiki character. You can use 5 to 450 credits to play the game with an RTP of 95%. You will be paid from 3 of a kind symbols on a line.

The bonuses in the game include the Coco Tiki Bonus Round, which offers free spins and sticky wilds. There is a Tiki Bar Bonus Game as well. It rewards with free spins and multipliers. The maximal win per spin in Coco Tiki is not very impressive – 300x bet. This and the payouts of the symbols makes Coco Tiki a great choice for players with smaller budgets and newbies.

The Design

Coco Tiki is set on the beach of a tropical island and has animated graphics. The main characters are various water inhabitants such as turtles, jellyfish, crabs, starfish and the like. There are also bottles, from which pop X and O symbols. The symbols simply appear from a wave after another one removes the previous symbols. There are no frames or any playing grid. The playing area has a circular shape.

Around the water you can see coconut cocktails arranged to the left. 3 coconuts on the right function as buttons for spinning, autoplay and choosing your bet. To the left you see a Coco Tiki character drinking cocktails. You will hear him making sounds as he drinks and has fun. The playing tune is vibrant, jolly and creates a holiday mood. The graphics and musical background are very pleasant. They are relaxing, cute and contribute a lot to creating a superb summer mood.

Coco Tiki Gameplay

Coco Tiki has an original spinning mechanic – each new wave that hits the shore gives you a new set of symbols. You will get wins from 3 of a kind symbols landed on any of the 5 pay-lines in both directions. The pay-table includes 6 inhabitants of the sea as standard symbols and 3 special symbols.

One of the sea creatures pays a 0.60x bet for 3 symbols on a line. The turtle gives you 1.20x stake for 3 symbols in paying combinations. The jellyfish pays 2 times your stake for 3 symbols on a pay-line. The pink fish grants a win of 3x bet while the starfish – 8x stake. The most rewarding of all symbols is the red crab that pays 20 times the stake for 3 on a line. A full screen with all 9 positions filled with the crab pays 100 times your bet.

The special symbols include a bottle with a scroll inside. Landing only one bottle symbol is enough to trigger the Coco Tiki Bonus Round. Then, the bottle symbol is replaced by an X sticky wild or an O symbol.

The X symbol appears on a scroll during the Coco Tiki Bonus Round and is the wild symbol. It can replace any symbol helping you form more line wins being a sticky symbol during the bonus feature. During this bonus, you can also get the O symbol on a scroll. It neither pays nor substitutes or does any other function. You don’t want to get this symbol as 3 of it ends one of the bonus features.

Coco Tiki Features / Bonuses

Coco Tiki is an original game with 2 bonus features: the Coco Tiki Bonus Round and the Tiki Bar Bonus Game.

When you get the bottle symbol, it reveals an X and activates the Coco Tiki Bonus Round. All spins of this bonus are free. As mentioned, the X symbol acts like a scatter and substitutes all other symbols. Once landed, the wild remains in its place as a sticky symbol until the end of the bonus. Landing 3 X symbols during this bonus feature rewards you. This also fills up one drink in the tropical drink meter. You can see it next to the Tiki character.

On each spin of the Coco Tiki Bonus feature a new scroll symbol of either X or O appears on the reels. It remains there until the bonus ends. Landing 3 of the O symbol on scrolls ends the feature since they don’t pay. At the end of the Coco Tiki Bonus Round, all line wins are summed up and paid to the player.

If you succeed to fill all 4 tropical drinks in the base game this activates the Tiki Bar Bonus Game. You will be given 3 coconut shells, one of which contains a pearl. Before the round starts, the Coco Tiki character shows what prize you play for and reveals the pearl. After he shuffles and mixes the coconuts, you can pick a shell trying to guess where the pearl is.

If your choice reveals an empty shell, the bonus round ends. In case you find the pearl, you have two options. You can either take the cash reward and return to the base game or play to the next level competing for a bigger reward. If you decide the latter this puts at risk the initial prizes you have won in the previous rounds.

There are 3 rounds in the Tiki Bar Bonus Game. Here they are and their rewards:

• Round 1: 5 Free Spins;
• Round 2: 15 Free Spins;
• Round 3: 25 Free Spins + 2x multiplier;

During the free spins that you have won from the Tiki Bar Bonus Game, no Bottle symbols appear. Thus you cannot retrigger the bonus.

The Conclusion

Coco Tiki presents features and spin mechanics that are not used in gaming so far. The game is unique, original and creates a sunny summer mood of a holiday. You can have fun with the cute animated sea characters and coconuts. The winning potential is not very high, though, and the return to the player is also low.

Yet, the two bonus rounds, free spins and the diversity of unique modifiers make the game worth your time. You will be pleased even if you are not content with the payouts as a whole.
