Key Takeaways

  • The Tumbles plays on a 6x6 grid
  • It has a maximum win potential of 5,000x the bet
  • It plays with cascades and awards multipliers and free spins

Relax Gaming, the prominent iGaming aggregator and game supplier, winds back the clock to the ice age for the latest installment in its tumble series, The Tumbles. The 6x6 slot is a blend of cascades, multipliers, and free spins with potential payouts of up to 5,000x. The $0.20 to $200 bet range accommodates a wide range of player budgets. With a maximum RTP rate of 96.1% and medium volatility, it will suit a more general gambling audience not keen on being brutalized by high volatility.

A Wintry and Sunny Adventure

The Tumbles takes advantage of cartoon prehistory imagery popularized by the Ice Age and The Croods movies to have a friendly, recognizable look. The base game is cold, covered in snow and ice caps. Sunnier surroundings cover the screen when free spins activate, and the ice gives way to flowing rivers and grasslands.

The Tumble drops a blend of active symbols and ice blockers on its 6x6 grid. Blockers do not contribute to wins but can be destroyed by adjacent paying combinations. When the entire matrix is active, 46,656 ways to win are possible. Stone-carved poker suits are the low pays, paying up to 0.2x the bet. The five Tumble family members are the premiums, awarding up to 1x the bet. Wilds appear on all reels except the leftmost one.

Big Buck Features

The Tumbles’ excitement lies in its bonus features. The slot has multipliers on all reels except the leftmost one, and they enhance the symbol combination values significantly. These bonuses range between 2x and 10x. Clearing the matrix of all blockers during the main game adds a 5x or 10x multiplier.

The slot can also unlock a free spins feature that transports the player to lush grasslands from the icy veneer of the base game. Three scatters anywhere on the grid trigger eight free spins, and any additional scatter adds another spin. This bonus counts multipliers cumulatively and applies a total multiplier to wins at the end of each round. Also, a 10x multiplier is awarded for clearing all blockers.

Eager players can skip the wait for free spins with the Buy Feature. For 50x the bet, a round is played that guarantees at least three scatter symbols.

A Dandy Addition to a Beloved Series

Relax Gaming blew doors off with its mastery of tumble mechanics, as seen in earlier releases like Ancient Tumble and Cluster Tumble. The Tumble adds dynamic multiplier twists in different forms to the beloved series.

Speaking at the launch, Relax Gaming CPO Shelley Hannah commented, “The Tumbles really is one for the ages that promises to captivate players with its vibrant visuals and excellent gameplay at medium volatility level. The glacial landscapes, animated symbols, and big win potential all combine to offer a fun and engaging experience as we add another Tumble title to our growing collection.”
