Torii Tumble Slot Features

The crimson wooden gate holds a 6x6 grid that awards wins for matching at least 3 symbols on consecutive columns. All qualifying combinations must begin from the leftmost side of the board and continue rightwards in an uninterrupted sequence. Depending on the number of blocking symbols, each spin can offer a different amount of winning ways, up to a maximum of 46,656 on a fully-opened playing area. Every win will destroy any blockers horizontally and vertically adjacent and then disappear from view, triggering a cascade. Standard payouts range from 0.05 to 0.2 times the bet for wins on the lowest royal card letters, from 0.1 to 0.4 times on three mid-paying masks, and 0.2 to 1 time for scoring on two samurai images. A Wild symbol exists on reels 2 through 6, substituting for all regular ones during win evaluation.

Multiplier Ladder

Every hit during the same winning sequence increases the multiplier trail by one step. Each win will be multiplied by the currently active value of the ladder.

Special Blocks

Two types of special blocks are available on the reels, triggering their respective feature whenever they land horizontally or vertically adjacent to a winning combination:

• Multiplier Booster increases all values on the Multiplier Ladder by 1, 2, or 3.
• Spin Saver removes all regular symbols from the grid and populates it with new ones whenever there are no more wins formed during a cascading sequence.

Torii Tumble Free Spins

Landing 3 Bonus symbols triggers the round with 8 free spins, plus 1 additional for each extra Bonus symbol on top of the initial 3. All values on the Multiplier Ladder are doubled at the beginning of the bonus. If all blocks are destroyed, multipliers will be doubled again, and 3 extra spins will be granted. A special Blue Block is available during free spins, adding 1 to 3 additional spins when destroyed.

Players can choose one of three modes of the bonus round:

• Multiplier Mode with blocks awarding multiplier boosters and extra spins.
• Spin Saver Mode with blocks awarding spin savers and extra spins.
• Mixed Mode with all three modifiers available.

When free spins are over, players can gamble for a retrigger of the bonus with different buy-in prices for 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% chance.

Instant access to the free spins is available through the Bonus Buy option for a fixed buy-in of 70 times the bet.

Final Thoughts

Torii Tumble is a welcome breath of fresh air in the series. In the majority of the previous installments, players could join various escapades to exotic or historical places like the Cambodian jungle in the original Temple Tumble or medieval cathedrals in Templar Tumble. Situating this part in mysterious feudal Japan introduces plenty of exciting diversity into the saga, as did the most recent Sloth Tumble with its cheerful, natural vibe. And we must hand it to Relax Gaming artists that whatever the environment, they can pull off truly magical graphics and effects that effortlessly charm players from the first contact. Torii Tumble boasts an elaborate design, creating an immersive atmosphere through premium visuals and an emotional soundtrack.

The game's technical side follows the format of many earlier releases, with subtle additions to accompany the new theme. One of them is the Multiplier Ladder, offering a boost to every consecutive win during the same round, which efficiently builds up the win potential, especially in free spins where the values are doubled at the beginning and can be further grown through retriggers. A gamble (or simply a bought retrigger) feature after the bonus round is an attractive addition since it allows free spins to continue without resetting the accumulated enhancers. It's undoubtedly a clever way to tease players into further action if they managed to collect significant upgrades.
