Temple Tumble

One of the beat parts of exploring different online pokies is the way that certain themes can transport you to other times and places, to far off lands and periods of history that are lost to time. Relax Gaming has chosen to take players to the mysterious jungles of Cambodia in a remarkable game that promises a journey into a remote place, abandoned temples and the chance to secure a huge fortune, if luck is travelling with you. Forget Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece for a moment and head into South East Asia with Temple Tumble and Wildz Casino.

Design

There’s bravery required to head on foot into the rain forest, and, according to the movie-style opening to this online pokie, you’ll need guts and a big machete to hack your way through dense vegetation to the clearing that reveals a crumbling stone temple, older than time. Here, where the sun is trickling through the leaves, you’ll find a chance to seek your fortune on a 6x6 grid where the reels are displayed.

The setting is reminiscent of Angkor Wat, the famous temple complex in Cambodia whose history is something of a mystery and a wonder to all who are lucky enough to visit it. This is the inspiration for Temple Tumble, and it can be seen within the game’s reel symbols that include the colourful playing card icons as well as others that are more fitting to this ancient culture. The explorer we met in the opening sequence may not have a name, but he stands in as the Wild symbol in the game.

Gameplay

First off, this isn’t your typical slots reels game, this one comes with a Cascading Symbols mechanic, also sometimes known as an Avalanche mechanic, or in this case, Tumbling reels. That means you will encounter cascading symbols falling from above the playing area into columns instead of spinning on reels. As is usual with Tumbling symbols, winning combinations are cleared from the board and new symbols fall from above to fill the voids. Multiple respins can often be won with multipliers in conjunction with the respins. Temple Tumble Megaways takes place inside a temple and utilises Tumbling reels, so a little introduction is needed to the popular Megaways™ format of play.

Megaways

Big Time Gaming revolutionised the world of pokies with the Megaways™ mechanic, licensed to Relax Gaming for this pokie. The Megaways™ engine, made famous in Bonanza, is a dynamic one, where the number of symbols on a spin is constantly changing. In Temple Tumble, every spin will throw up a different number of symbols and stone blocks, resulting in a total of maximum 46,656 Megaways™ to win. That’s a huge range of winning opportunities, and it varies with each spin. The goal remains similar to a regular slot: form winning combinations using the pre-determined patterns. Each time a winning combination is formed, the symbols forming part of it are removed from the playing area and replaced by new ones. Each stone block adjacent to a winning combination will also explode, and the open spot will be filled with a new symbol.

The lucrative Free Spins round comes into play when all the stone blocks are cleared away from the playing area.

Temple Tumble Free Spins

Players receive 6 Free Spins when all the blocks are wiped away from the playing area in Temple Tumble Megaways. This bonus round comes with 3 different levels, in which certain blocks each come loaded with respective bonus features:

• The blocks contain multipliers between 1x and 3x
• The blocks contain between +1 and +3 Free Spins
• The blocks contain a combination of multipliers and Free Spins You can earn an automatic 3 Free Spins in every version of the Free Spins mode if you can clear the stone blocks again. The 6 Free Spins occur quite often along with their special blocks so there’s a great chance that players will score more Free Spins or multipliers during this round.

Volatility

You’ll be playing a game with high volatility when you encounter Temple Tumble, along with an RTP rate of 96.25%. Expect a win from a quarter of spins as the hit frequency rate is 24.76%. The size of the wins is generally quite big so if you’re patient enough to endure win-free spins and you have the bankroll to stay the pace, you’ll find great enjoyment in this pokies title.

Temple Tumble on mobile

Relax Gaming has made sure that all their games are optimised for mobile so you can expect to enjoy all the features and benefits whether you choose to play on a desktop machine or via mobile. It’s up to you!

The Verdict

The Free Spins and multipliers are an engaging aspect to Temple Tumble that is a great example of a Megaways format game. The theme is a novel one (there can’t be too many pokies set in Cambodia!), so the game is a pleasure to experience. There’s a spin-off title, too, in Temple Tumble 2 DreamDrop, so this is another indication that players are enjoying this pokies game. While you do need to keep an eye on your bankroll, you could also stand to access some superb rewards in Temple Tumble.
