Coco Tiki Review

The stated vision of Mancala Gaming is to “forget about boundaries and limitations”, and “creating something truly unique”. They have certainly succeeded with that, at least to a certain degree, with Coco Tiki. The ocean waves spin mechanic is not something we’ve seen before, and the sticky X Wild feature sticks out from regular bonus rounds.

The 600x potential, and the math model in general, tells us up front that this game is created with a certain crowd in mind (hint: it’s not high rollers and hardcore gamblers). Newbies might be taken in by the bright and colorful visuals, and the unusual way it’s all presented, but experienced gamblers see right through all that.

Coco Tiki Slot Features

Every time a bottle washes up in the base game, the bonus round is triggered. The bottle reveals an X on the letter inside, and the X symbol becomes a sticky wild. A new bottle appears on each ensuing free spin, and these will reveal either a new sticky wild X, or a blank O filler symbol that also becomes sticky.

The bonus round goes on until you have completed a 3-of-a-kind win with X wild symbols. This adds an umbrella to the Tropical Drink Meter on the left-hand side.

If you don’t manage to rack up a 3-OAK X wild win, the feature ends as your regular winnings are summed up.

The Tropical Drink Meter does not reset, and you need four 3-OAK X wild wins in total to fill the meter. This triggers the Tiki Bar bonus game. The tiki-masked bartender then challenges you to a shell game, where you pick from 3 coconut shells to find a hidden pearl.

If you pick an empty shell it’s back to the base game. If you find the pearl however, you can choose to collect your prize or continue playing for even better prizes. There are 3 tiers to this shell game, and here is what you stand to win:

• The tier 1 pearl awards 5 free spins.
• The tier 2 pearl awards 15 free spins.
• The tier 3 pearl awards 25 free spins with 2x multiplier.

The free spins round plays out like the regular base game, and it’s not to be mistaken for the X Wild bonus round.

The 200 Spins Coco Tiki Slot Experience

We triggered the Bottle Bonus Round a few times, but didn’t win too much from it in terms of cash.

Towards the end we managed to fill the Tropical Drink meter, and we got away with 5 free spins. You can see how it all played out in the 4-minute highlights video below.

Review Summary

Mancala Gaming is focused on creating “unique” gaming experiences, but unique does not always equate to good. Coco Tiki is the perfect example of that unfortunately, and several things annoyed us during testing. The cheap sounding background music is one thing, but then there is a very unnecessary break in the gameplay, where you’re forced to listen to the Tiki-masked dude slurping his cocktail, and it happens way too often.

The whole thing about waves washing over the symbols to bring in new symbols also gets boring pretty quickly. The 600x potential will impress no one, and the features lack punch and excitement. Casual players dreaming of a simple life on a tropical island might enjoy this game for a while, but no experienced gamblers will touch Coco Tiki with a barge-pole.

Pros

• Unique design and visual presentation
• Sticky X wild bonus round
• Play shell game to win free spins

Cons

• Max win is only 300x your stake
• RTP of 95 % is well below average
