HOW TO PLAY TIKI TIKI HOLD ‘N’ WIN
The base game uses a 5×4 grid with a total of 20 positions. However, Stakelogic Tiki Tiki does not use regular paylines to determine wins – or even regular reels, for that matter.
Instead, the game relies on a Cluster Pays feature to calculate wins. This means that you don’t need to match symbols along reels or paylines. Instead, you need to hi 4 symbols that are connected to each other vertically or horizontally. This forms what’s known as a ‘Cluster’.
The Cluster’s position on the grid or how the symbols are connected to each other doesn’t matter. Even a vertical line of 4 matching symbols earns you a win.
That said, payouts are calculated similarly to most standard online slot machines. The amount you win is usually a multiplier of the number and value of the winning symbols. The more symbols you hit in a single cluster, the bigger the payout.

Hold ‘n’ Win Feature
The term ‘Hold and Win’ does not have the usual meaning here. Or maybe it’s just a whole new way of thinking about the feature. Either way, it’s this game’s staple and a fairly interesting feature.
The Tiki Tiki Hold ‘n’ Win triggers any time you hit a winning cluster. All winning symbols stick to the grid, while all non-winning symbols are respinned. This offers the chance to hit new winning clusters or improve existing ones, resulting in bigger payouts.
Any win can keep re-spinning until existing wins cannot be improved anymore.
Additionally, each re-spin adds a win multiplier to any new symbols that appear. The win multiplier increases every time this happens, up to a maximum of 7x.
Coin and Treasure Chest
Some symbols appear as coins that show values between 1x and 50x. Landing 5 of them at the same time triggers the Hold & Win bonus game.
Additionally, a Treasure Chest symbol may appear on the rightmost reel. It instantly collects all of the Coin symbols currently on the grid and pays out their sum value.
Fortune Wheel & Free Spins
If you hit 3-5 Scatters anywhere on the grid, you get a spin of the Fortune Wheel. The Wheel in Tiki Tiki Hold ‘n’ Win spins to reveal either Free Spins or trigger the Bonus round. More Scatters end up with a better wheel that has more free spins and a better chance to trigger the Bonus round.
You can win between 8 and 15 free spins using the Wheel. The spins are simply free – they can trigger other features, but don’t have any special rules.
Bonus Round
On top of the respin features we described above, there is also a Tiki Tiki Hold & Win Bonus round.
It works like all bonus rounds of this type. You get 3 respins, and all positions on the grid can hit either Coins or blank spaces. All Coins you hit stick to the board, and you keep playing until you hit 3 respins with no Coins or fill up the whole grid.
You can trigger the three types of Fortune wheels for 100-300x your bet by clicking the Feature Buy button.
