If you want the full experience, it is definitely worth turning the music on and listening to the brilliant atmospheric tribal drumbeats which build tension and give you the impression of being in an Indiana Jones film.

These are a collection of animal-inspired idols, representing the Mayan gods. There are four high paying symbols for this game, these are recognisable as the animal-inspired totems, such as the orange tiger and the green snake. The lower value symbols are in the same colours but are represented as other icons such as flowers, cacti, and leaves. The human-like mask is the wild. Finally, the scatter is very easy to spot, as it is an idol with the word ‘scatter’ written upon it.

Features

There are 3 main bonus features at your fingertips for Totem Towers, these are a Line Booster feature, a Totem Tower feature, and a Free Spins round.

The Line Booster feature is designed to grow the number of pay lines that are available for you to play as the game progresses. At the base level, there are 25 pay lines available to play. However, depending on which lines you form a win on, you can open new ones. For example, to unlock lines 26-40, you must get wins on 5-19 on a single spin. This works in an exponential pattern, the more you unlock, the faster you unlock the others. This can lead to you having 70 plus lines to play on.

The next feature is the Totem Tower feature. As explained above, every time a reel lands three of the same symbol on it, the reel itself will turn completely wild. The wilds then help to form more wins with a new payout calculation to follow the triggering spin.
Lastly, there is the Free Spins feature. To activate this feature, players much land three of the scatter symbols on the grid simultaneously. The more scatters landed for the triggering spin, the more spins you are granted to take into the bonus round. 3 scatters grant you 10. 4 grant you 15. 5 grant you 25. 6 grant you 100. You can also retrigger the free spins bonus from within the feature by landing yet more scatters.

Stacked symbols are also at play in this game giving players more opportunities to score wins thanks to their homogenous format.
