Totem Thunder (Inspired Gaming)

Totem Thunder Review

Totem Thunder takes us to the plains of North America, inhabited by the native tribes. They call out prayers to the gods, who may expand the reels to over 3,000 winlines during the gameplay through different totems that appear in the form of Wilds. With that said, Totem Thunder comes loaded with exciting features and bonuses, and those can lead you to massive payouts up to 5,000x the bet.

At first sight, Totem Thunder doesn't look strong enough on the surface. However, once you get past the basic looks, you'll notice it has several powerful features capable of producing massive winning opportunities. As for the looks, however, Totem Thunder isn't too appealing, with quite simple cartoonish graphics and a somewhat weird drawing style. The 5x3 reel set with an All Ways pay system, meaning that players have 243 ways to play on each spin, is backgrounded to North American plains. We see the tribal settlement beside the grid, and behind it, blue rivers, windswept green hills, and majestic mountains make up the backdrop. Overall, it's not that bad, although the imagery looks pretty dated.

The Totem Thunder slot comes with a betting range of €0.2 to €50 per spin. The game is powered by a medium-high volatile math model, while the RTP is slightly below the average level at 95.01%. Thus, don't expect to receive returns too often. The maximum win is capped at €250,000, or 5,000x the bet, which is decent.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 10 regular symbols that are split into highs and lows. On the lower side, the pay symbols start with classic A-10 royals, and the premium lot includes in ascending order tents, skulls, axes, bows, and headdresses. All symbols pay from 3-of-a-kind and more when landing adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost, and 5-of-a-kind symbol wins are worth from 0.8x to 5x the stake. The three wooden face totems are Wild symbols, which appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4 and substitute for any other regular symbol helping you achieve wins. However, they transform into animal totems and play into the features as the bonus kicks in, covered below.

Totem Thunder Slot Features

Keep an eye on Scatter Symbols during the base game. They appear only on reels 1, 3, and 5, and when three instances appear simultaneously in view, players are awarded 10 Free Spins with expanding wild stacks.

During the Totem Thunder Free Spins bonus, an extra Wild symbol is added to wild stacks on reels 2, 3, and 4 on each spin. Whenever a wild stack lands fully on the reel, an extra row is added to that reel, up to 7. That also increases the number of paylines, which reaches 3,087 at full capacity. Finally, retriggers are possible, and landing 2 bonus symbols ln reels 1 and 5 simultaneously during the free games awards +2 additional spins.

Players can increase their winnings or even win the free spins via the Gamble feature, which is offered after every win during the base game. Whenever you hit a payout, you are presented with two wheels - the left one offers to increase the payout by one-third, double, or triple the win, and the right one offers a chance to activate the free spins feature.

You can adjust the wheels and change the winning and losing segments of the wheels. If the pointer lands on the green segment, you win, and continue the gamble or proceed to the base game. However, if it lands on the red segment, all winnings will be lost.

Review Summary

Totem Thunder might be not the best-looking slot out there, but it's certainly not bad and has a lot for players to offer. The gameplay is fun and is packed with numerous rewarding features. During the base game, players have 3 different Wild symbols to help them achieve wins. The free spins bonus takes it to a whole new level, as the grid expands to over 3,000 winlines and features massive wild stacks. All up, Totem Thunder is decent, although it's not gonna make waves among slot enthusiasts and casino hounds.
