Totem Lightning Power Reels Slot RTP and Review (Red Tiger Gaming) A super-charged high variance version of 2017’s Native American themed game where low value symbols are removed after winning spins. Totem symbol has a particular spiritual significance for the society. It presents to sacred objects of indigenous American people that all belong to the natural world. So, it is a native-American based theme game that has 5 to 8 reels -6 rows, and 40 pay-lines with RTP of 96.03%. It has high volatility and high potential of winning.

• Totem Lightning slot by Red Tiger Gaming certainly has some interesting characteristics which will no doubt appeal to some, and I like how they’ve gone a different route to many competitors. In fact, it’s very rare nowadays to come across a slot that doesn’t actually include any free spins.
• Totem Lightning Power Reels isn’t the only slot machine from Red Tiger Gaming in the Power Reels range. Dragon’s Luck is a ten-reel game with 30 paylines and follows a classic Chinese theme. Landing three or more matching symbols across a payline is needed to claim a win, but the run of symbols doesn’t have to start from the left side.

Totem poles are large symbolic carvings found in North America but you can read more about that here; for our purposes they are also the theme of this online slot machine from Red Tiger Gaming. It’s called Totem Lightning and it comes with a progressive jackpot and an interesting gameplay mechanic.

Totem Lightning is a five reel slot with four rows and forty fixed paylines; those reels are tribal and ornate and they sit to the right of the progressive jackpot totals on the left hand side.

The four high value symbols are the sort of animal carvings one might expect on a Totem pole and include an eagle, a puma, a wolf and a crab; 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower values.

Totem Lightning Power Reels Rtp

There’s no wild symbol in Totem Lightning but there is a bonus symbol represented by a large, gold ‘Bonus’.

Bonus Features

Lightning Strike

A lightning strike can randomly strike the reels to create winning combos and begin the Symbol Strike process explained below.

Symbol Strike

This is a version of the collapsing reels feature often seen in other games but here if you land a winning combination all instances of that symbols will be removed from the reels as long as it’s 10, J, Q, K or A (you can see which symbols have been removed to the right of the reels). You’ll then get a free respin to try and land another win and remove more symbols.

If you make a combo of the high value symbols just those involved in the combo will disappear and this process will continue until there are no more wins.

Totem Multiplier Bonus

This is triggered by landing three or more of the Bonus symbols anywhere in view and this will start the multiplier ladder game in which you must select from the pipes on offer to move up the ladder, increasing the multiplier value until you land on ‘collect’.

Progressive Jackpot

This is triggered from the base game by landing three of the jackpot symbols which will either award the Mega, Super or Quick Hit prizes shown to the left of the reels. There’s also a Daily Jackpot which must pay out before the time shown.

Verdict

Totem Lightning Rtp Game

Totem Lightning is a really addictive slot (in a good way) and the thing to do is set the Autoplay, sit back and watch the action unfold; the features occur regularly and of course there’s the progressive jackpot to aim for. This game has an RTP of 95.05%.

The design in Totem Lightning is superb - the Native American-style lower value A to 10 playing card symbols are joined by 4 animal-style carved totems. The most rewarding of these is the bird totem - land 3, 4 or 5 of these on a payline and you’ll win 88, 388 or 888 coins.

Totem Lightning is played using a slightly unusual game engine - after every winning spin, the successful A to 10 symbols are removed from the reels, along with all other instances of that symbol elsewhere on the reels. For example, if you have a winning combination made up of K symbols, they are removed. All other K symbols on the reels are removed too.

New symbols are dropped into their place - if a new winning combination is created, they too are removed. These removals continue until you have a winless spin or all of the lower value symbols are removed and you’re spinning with just the high value totems in play. Keep track of what’s been removed via the meter to the right of the reels. Totem Lightning also comes with a pair of bonus features:

Lightning Strike feature - bolts of lightning can strike the reels on any spin and remove 1 of the lower value A to 10 symbols.

Totem Multiplier feature - this round is triggered by landing 3 Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Choose 1 of the 5 pipes shown. The puff of smoke will reveal how many steps up the totem you progress. Keep on picking until you land on a totem that includes a collect. Make it all the way to the top and you’ll win a prize equal to 1,000 times your total stake.

We didn’t have particularly high expectations when it came to Totem Lightning but it proved to be a pleasant surprise. The design is excellent, combining quality imagery with a drum heavy backing track which is an ideal fit for the theme.

The tumbling reels game engine provides plenty of base game action meaning we didn’t really miss the lack of free spins. We enjoyed the best success with the Totem Multiplier though, winning 250 times our total stake after a making good progress up the totem pole.

Totem Lightning is a surprisingly entertaining slot. Combining high spec visuals with a nice range of features, this Native American-themed slot is well worth closer investigation. If you like the theme, Thunderkick’s Turning Totems is recommended.
