Torii Tumble Slot Review 2024
Torii Tumble from Relax Gaming takes the Tumble series east for a refreshing new look at the series.
For those wondering about the name, a Torii gate is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance or within Shinto Shrines. The gate is symbolic of how it marks the entrance to a sacred place. The origins of the torii gates are unknown with several different theories on their origins, with none universally accepted as historical truth.
Perhaps in hundreds of years to come, they’ll remember the Torii gate as the entrance to one of Relax Gaming’s best slots? If the previous tumble slots are anything to go by then we’re in for one hell of an experience.
Join us in this Torii Tumble slot review as we join the sacred place that is the Relax Gaming Shinto shrine for potentially huge wins.
Torii Tumble Base Game and Features
Torii Tumble is a 6×6 Video Slot with up to 46,656 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
The minimum bet available here is £.€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€50 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. Torii Tumble has a theoretical RTP of 96.10% and a max win cap of 20,000x.
In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Samurai, followed by the Demon, Cat, Pig, and Bird. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, and Jack. Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, substituting for all High and Low-paying symbols.
Each base game spin has a number of Blocker symbols positioned across the grid at the same time as regular symbols. Blocker symbols do not contribute toward any winning combinations.
Each time a winning combination forms, all winning symbols and Blocker symbols adjacent to them will be destroyed. All remaining symbols will drop down and new symbols will fall from above, filling all empty positions. This is repeated until no more wins are in view.
Multiplier Ladder
During gameplay, whenever a winning combination forms, the Multiplier Ladder will activate. Each winning combination will advance you to the next Multiplier Value, starting at x1. Your position on the Multiplier Ladder will reset when a new base game spin begins.
All multiplier values will Double when all Stone Blockers are destroyed. In addition to this, special Stone Blockers containing Multiplier Boosters and Spin Savers can land randomly which award the following.
- Multiplier Booster – Red stone blocks that land contain Multiplier Boosters, adding +1, +2, and +3 to each of the Multiplier Ladder values.
- Spin Saver – Green stone blocks that land contain Spin Savers. Once no more winning combinations exist, all paying symbols are removed and a new set of symbols are dropped in.
Torii Tumble Free Spins
Landing 3 or more Scatters across the grid during the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 8 Free Spins. All Scatters after the 3rd will award an additional +1 Free Spin per scatter.
Once the Free Spins round is triggered, you will be given the choice of 3 Free Spins Modes, as follows.
- Multiplier Mode – Special Stone Blocks containing Multiplier Boosters.
- Mixed Mode – Special Stone Blocks containing both Multiplier Boosters and Spin Savers.
- Spin Saver Mode – Special Stone Blocks containing Spin Savers.
Before Free Spins begins, all Multiplier Ladder values are transferred from the base game to Free Spins, doubling before the round begins. During Free Spins, destroying all Stone Blocks will double all Multiplier Ladder values and award an additional +3 Free Spins. In addition to this, special Stone blocks that award additional Free Spins are present during this time and are available in all 3 Modes.
At the end of Free Spins, a special Gamble feature that offers players a chance to purchase additional Free Spins, or gamble to win them for a fraction of the cost will appear. This option may not be available to you if you are within the UK.
25%, 50%, and 75% of the cost of purchasing the additional Free Spins can be paid to gamble for a chance of winning the additional Free Spin. The chance of winning is directly correlated to the cost.
The Gamble feature will not be offered if the highest Multiplier Level of x100 is reached. Each Gamble option is only available once per entry.
Torii Tumble Bonus Buy
Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option. Relax Gaming has granted players access to the Free Spins round for a total cost of 70x your bet. (RTP 96.50%)
Torii Tumble: Our Verdict
Torii Tumble is another fine addition to the Tumble series, but is it the best? Perhaps not. We can think of a couple that we find more appealing, such as Templar Tumble 2 Dream Drop.
We can’t help but love the design of Torii Tumble more than the others though. We’re suckers for immersive crisp Japanese themes like this, and in the usual Relax fashion, Torii Tumble is graphically beautiful. This alone could be enough to pull players from the clutches of other Tumble Games and through the Torii gates into Torii Tumble, and although we don’t think it’s the best yet, it still wouldn’t be a bad choice.
The potential is significant with up to 20,000x as a maximum win, and the features seem like polished versions of older games when you think about the choice you get going into Free Spins. When testing it ourselves we found ourselves captivated by bonus rounds that regularly delivered, and even when it didn’t we could see the underlying potential.
Overall, Torii Tumble might not knock the other tumble slots off their perch, but it’s an exciting Relax Gaming thriller nonetheless.
