Hula Magic Review

The Hawaiian theme is almost as popular as the ancient Maya/Aztec theme, and Pariplay’s Hula Magic takes you deep into the jungle with some animated waterfalls in the background. The Tumbling Tiles don’t crash down heavily like in many other similar games, and it might take a while to get used to the “gravity setting”. Once you’ve settled in however, it’s not a big deal.

The whole Tiki Pole symbol collection system is a nice way to keep yourself motivated, and the game cycles through 4 random feature triggers before a guaranteed iSpin Wheel trigger is awarded at the top of the pole. The jackpots cannot compete with the overall potential in this game, and you’ll definitely need the unlimited progressive win multiplier in the bonus round to come close to cracking the 20,720x potential.

Hula Magic Slot Features

The Tiki Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations, and it holds no value of its own. The tiki mask premium symbols pay between 15 and 50 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins.

Each win triggers the Tumbling Tiles feature, which means that winning symbols are removed and replaced by new/existing symbols that tumble down from above. This process repeats as long as you keep winning.

Winning symbols are collected in the Tiki Pole on the left-hand side, and there are 5 blocks to fill in this pole. Each time you fill 1 of the first 4 blocks, a random feature is triggered.

These are as follows:

• Tiki Wild - awards a free spin where a random number of wilds are added to reel 2 to 5.
• Pick a Prize - choose 1 of 3 money bags, and win a prize between 3 and 50 x your stake.
• iSpin feature - a wheel of fortune awards the bonus round or a fixed jackpot (see below).

Before we take a closer look at the bonus round and the jackpots, it’s important to note that changing bet size resets the Tiki Pole. However, if you change back to the previous bet size, the Tiki Pole level you achieved is waiting for you.

Hula Magic Slot - iSpin Feature

This is important because the iSpin feature is guaranteed to trigger when you fill the 5th and final Tiki Pole block with winning symbols energy. The iSpin Wheel spins, and you can win 5 different jackpos. These are the Grand, Mega, Major, Minor and Mini jackpots, and they’re worth 1,000, 200, 50, 25 and 10 x your stake, respectively.

If you win the Free Spins feature from the iSpin Wheel, you get to choose between 4 options as follows:

• 15 free spins with a x1 starting multiplier (low volatility option).
• 10 free spins with a x5 starting multiplier (medium volatility option).
• 5 free spins with a x10 starting multiplier (high volatility option).
• Mystery choice - a randomized configuration of the above.

The win multiplier increases by +1 per bonus round tumble win, and there is no way to retrigger the feature or get extra spins.

The 200 Spins Hula Magic Slot Experience

We trigger the Tiki Pole Pick a Prize feature not too long after the 6:51-minute highlights video starts. We then work our way through the 2 final blocks, with a Tiki Wild trigger in between, before the iSpin Wheel is finally achieved.

This awarded the Free Spins round, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

It took us a while to get used to the “slow-mo” Tumble Tiles mechanic, and it kind of feels like Pariplay has used the gravity setting for the Moon instead of Earth. We got into the groove of it after a while though, and the Tiki Pole system provides some decent motivation to keep you going in the base game grind. The Tiki Wild feature can vary a lot in performance, but at least you’re working towards something per cycle.

The iSpin Wheel doesn’t trigger very often, but it can live things up from the random features once in a while. The bonus round is potentially far more lucrative than the 1,000x Grand Jackpot though, but the advertised potential hovering above 20,000x your stake seems a bit far fetched. Anything is possible with an unlimited progressive win multiplier, of course, and this is a decent enough installment in the tiki slot genre.

Pros

• Tiki Pole winning symbol collection
• 1 of 3 random features per filled block
• iSpin Wheel w/ jackpots and bonus round
• FS w/ unlimited progressive win multiplier
• Win up to 20,720x your stake

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges

Book of Itza - is a Pariplay release with a somewhat similar theme, and this one also plays out on 5x4 reels with 1,024 win ways. Wilds leave locked frames behind, and a full reel of locked frames trigger the expanded wild respins feature. You’re guaranteed expanded wild respins in the bonus round, and you can win up to 5,000x your stake.

Tiki Reward - is an All41 Studios release with a similar theme, and it comes with multiplier wilds and 4 Tiki Jackpots. These fixed jackpots can be landed at random times, but your jackpot chances are boosted in the bonus round.

The overall potential is 1,000x your stake, and the jackpots go as high as 1,030x your stake.

Maui Millions - is a Kalamba installment in the Tiki slot genre, and landing 3 cash orbs trigger a prize wheel that can also lead to the hold-and-win style cash spin bonus. The bonus round comes with bonus scatters that both pay and award extra spins, and you can win up to 4,115x your stake in this medium to high volatility effort.
