Totem Lightning Power Reels

The Totem Lightning Power Reels slot is another snappy game from Red Tiger Gaming, the very popular online video slot developer.  Red Tiger Gaming are part of Evolution gaming group, and their top games include Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, Reel King Mega and Zilland King slot. All available at Wombat Casino!

Although this game lacks Free Spins, scatter symbols, or even a wild symbol, it does include a pretty cool feature or two, including Totem Lightning Power Reels.

When you get a lower-value winning combination, all winning symbols are instantly zapped from the reels in a burst of lightning. New symbols descend into the vacant spots for another chance at a win, and Zap! If you win once again, the symbols are taken away.

There’s also a Symbol Strike Bar that hoovers up all of the low paying symbols on the reels to be replaced by new falling symbols.

With peace pipes, feathered headdresses, and a Wild West landscape all around and behind the main game, this is a slot steeped in Native American culture. Like most games from Red Tiger Gaming, the game looks great, and packs a max win of up to 7,777 times your wager. That’s even juicier than Amazing Link Bounty from SpinPlay Games.

Totem Lightning Power Reels Design

Wild animals make up the high-paying symbols that show things like eagles, panthers, a raccoon or crabs. The other five low-paying positions are playing card symbols. That 8×6 reel set makes a big impression thanks to the amount of screen space it takes up. Even NetEnt’s Superstars slot looks compact in comparison.

Totem Lightning Power Reels Slot Gameplay

If you have played the original version of the game you should have no trouble understanding how the Totem Lightning Power Reels video slot works. The game features an 8×6 playing grid with 30 fixed paylines that pay left to right, beginning from the far left reel.
3 of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts, and you can build a maximum of eight of a kind on a single payline.

Standard playing cards 10 and Ace are the low paying symbols in this game. Even so, the Ace pays out 150x for eight of a kind on a payline. The highest paying symbols are the carved animal faces on the Totem: the eagle, the panther, the crab and the racoon. The eagle is the high payer symbol in this game, paying you a soaring 3,000x for eight of a kind.

Despite the grandeur of the reel design, this game is simple and easy to play. There are no Free Spins, so you will rely heavily on the cascading reels mechanic.

The game runs smoothly with nicely detailed animations, making the game a decent entertainer.
Before spinning the reels, you will need to set your bets. Make sure you are not betting more than you can afford to lose and play responsibly.

Totem Lightning Power Reels Features

Let’s take a look at the symbol strike bar: the first special feature we will review. This feature is linked to the low-value symbol bar on the right-hand side of the reels. You must land winning combinations with low-value symbols on the reels to activate this feature.

The low-value symbols will be moved to the symbol bar and removed from the reels during gameplay. This game feature allows you to form winning combinations with high-paying symbols on the reels.

Next up is the Lightning Strike: another bonus feature peculiar to this game.

This bonus is randomly activated during gameplay. When active, players will see an outburst of lightning on the reels. All low-value symbols are removed from the reels and kept on the symbol strike bar. The lightning strike feature also randomly clones game symbols and may lead to big cash prizes if you manage to land winning combos during the game.

Totem Lightning Power Reels Summary

You probabaly won’t even notice the lack of wild symbols, free spins, or side games when you start to play the Totem Lightning Power Reels slot. While you won’t get a win on every spin, once the lower-value symbols start to disappear from the mix or lightning hits the grid, you can get onto some great runs, especially wth the Avalanche Wins feature.
