Turning Totems

By Becky M. | Updated 13 November 2024

Native American themes are far from the least common theme taken by slot games, so news of a new one on the market may not be met with a great deal of interest.

However, Thunderkick’s Turning Totems is far from conventional in the way it is put together.

About the slot

With five-reels, and 11 paylines, this slot is playable from 10p a spin on all compatible devices, and it has a unique reel set up.

Instead of reels that spin, you have totems that turn (hence the name) to reveal a range of carved faces.

This is a great looking slot, the totems look great, the background is pretty, and the small Native American character is a nice touch, especially when he breaks into a rain dance during the free spins feature.

Gameplay

This game is not complex in the features it contains, but the one it has is great fun and can be highly profitable if you’re lucky.

Land a Thunder Snake symbol on a totem, and that Thunder Reel, with all Sleeping Wilds on that totem becoming reels and giving you a respin.

Trigger three or more of these Thunder Reels and you will unlock the free spins feature, which gives you five free spins with the Thunder Reels remain active for all of the spins.

If you trigger three Thunder Reels, it can lead to big wins, but land four or five, and these can become huge, a simple feature, but one that you could grow to love very quickly if spins land nicely for you.

This isn’t the most complicated slot that Thunderkick have ever created, but it looks great, it is fun to play, and it can lead to some big wins for a fairly small initial bet, so it’s definitely worth a few spins!
