Egg Nests & Turtle Wilds

Above each reel are 3 Egg Nests. The position of each egg relates to the symbol position on the reel below, starting from the top to bottom. 

Every time a Turtle Wild hits, it lays an egg in the egg nest position if it is empty. If the turtle lands in a position that already has an egg, the Respins Feature gets triggered.

Landing more than one turtle in a position already containing eggs awards a +x1 Multiplier to the total Win Multiplier. The multiplier applies to every win that lands during the turtle respin feature.

Turtle Respins

Before the respin feature, each egg hatches and reveals Baby Turtle Wilds. The wilds then find their way onto the reels. A baby turtle wild landing in the middle or top of a reel will reward a Respin.

During this round, baby turtles drop down a position, and once they reach the bottom, they get removed from the grid. The feature will continue till no turtles are in a middle or top position

Free Spins

Some turtles may appear on the grid with a piece of jewellery on one half of their shell. Turtles wearing the left half of the jewellery can only appear on the further left reel, while the turtles with the right half can appear on the middle and further right reel.

As a result of landing one turtle with the left half and another with the right half, you will receive 5 Free Spins.

During free spins, landing more than one Turtle Wild in positions already held by an egg nest will increase the Win Multiplier by how many turtle wilds have landed. 

At the beginning of free spins, each egg hatches, and baby turtles find a spot on the playing grid. The turtles remain locked in place till the end of the round. You will be rewarded +1 Free Spin for every turtle wild that lands.

Conclusion

It is clear that turtles have a special place in Red Tiger Gaming’s hearts. There is no denying that turtles are endangered and should be protected at all costs. If Red Tiger’s aim was to spread awareness, they have achieved that.

Not only are turtles cute, but they can now trigger Free Spins and Respins. Despite what they can bring to the game, Turtle Paradise does lack the thrilling excitement of some of the best-loved slots. With a maximum win cap of 4,602 times the bet, it is slightly underwhelming, given how much thought Red Tiger put into the game idea.

However, Turtle Paradise is a reminder, not only to us, that you can love turtles without fishing them out of their homes. If you love turtles and slots, combine the two and play Turtle Paradise!
