Totem Link Review

Having a “spirit animal” is a thing in different New Age communities, but it seems more grounded and real in a Native American setting. Totem Link is a Blue Guru Games installment in the popular American Indians genre, and the 5x4 grid is set against a prairie and mountain backdrop with teepees sprinkled in for good measure.

Different animals populate the reels, and these are lynxes, wolves, bears, eagles and a bison as the top-tier symbol. The main attraction is the Spinning Totems hold and win style feature, where you can upgrade reels to land larger cash symbols. Upgrading all reels can land you jackpots up to 5,000x, and the random wild reels bonus round can award up to 6,344x your stake.

Totem Link Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 10 and 50 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Totem Wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Totem Wild serves double duty as a scatter symbol as well, and you need 3 in view to trigger the Bonus Round.

The Free Games with Wild Reels feature is the full name of the bonus round, and the 3 middle reels can turn wild per spin. You are guaranteed at least 1 wild reel per free spin, and you get 10 free spins without the possibility of retriggers. The reason being that totem wild/scatters do not appear during the feature.

The Spinning Totem Game triggers when you land at least 8 totem cash symbols in view, and these tend to land in stacks.

You get 3 spins, and the tally resets each time you land at least 1 new sticky cash totem symbol. Reels filled with totem cash symbols are cleared to allow for more sticky totem cash symbols to appear.

Reset reels are upgraded in a 3-tier system, and each tier provides more valuable totem cash symbols. The tier of a reel is indicated by a light above, and you get a chance at landing a jackpot if all reels are upgraded. These are the Minor, Major and Mega jackpots, and they pay 50x, 500x or 5,000x your stake, respectively. The jackpots are tied to the reel tiers as well, so you need tier 1, 2 or 3 to win the minor, major and mega jackpot, respectively.

There is a Buy Bonus button available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure.

This button opens up the feature buy menu, where you can choose to purchase 10 free spins for 60x the stake. You can get the Spinning Totem Game for 120x your stake, and the 95.23 % RTP is the same for both features.

Review Summary

We quite enjoyed the realistic visuals you get in this Native American animal spirit release, and the presentation sticks out even if you’ve seen similar games many times before. There is an authenticity over the artwork that is not always present in such slots, and this creates a sort of low-key, down-to-earth and understated vibe.

The features are hardly super innovative, but the full-reel totem wild has a mystical presence when it appears on each bonus round spin. The Spinning Totem feature may make your head spin at first, since the horizontal spinning is a tad unusual. The upgrade system is a decent addition, and the overall 6,344x potential is pretty solid as well. Totem Link is well worth trying overall, and we can chalk it up as yet another solid release from Blue Guru Games.

Pros

• Totem wild/scatters
• FS w/ 1-3 full reel wilds per spin
• Spinning Totems hold & win feature
