The Tumbles

The Tumbles is a video slot developed by Relax Gaming, set in a prehistoric ice age environment. The game's atmosphere is characterized by a cold, icy aesthetic, with a focus on the survival challenges faced by early humans. The gameplay revolves around a 6×6 grid filled with symbols representing various prehistoric elements.

The core mechanic of The Tumbles is the cascade feature, where winning symbol combinations are removed, allowing new symbols to drop into place. This cascading mechanic offers players multiple opportunities to win in a single spin. To enhance the gameplay, the slot incorporates multiplier symbols that can increase winnings. These multipliers can land in an active or inactive state, with active multipliers contributing to the total win.

The primary bonus feature in The Tumbles is the Free Spins round. Triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols, the Free Spins round offers players the chance to increase their winnings significantly. During this round, the number of blockers on the grid is reduced, and the average value of multiplier symbols is increased. Additionally, active multipliers are added to the total multiplier, which persists throughout the feature.

The slot's symbol set includes low-paying card symbols (clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts), as well as higher-paying symbols representing members of the Tumble family. The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols except the Scatter, aiding in the formation of winning combinations. The Scatter symbol is essential for triggering the Free Spins round.

One of the standout features of The Tumbles is the interplay between the cascading mechanic and the multiplier system. As players clear the grid of symbols, the potential for high-value multiplier combinations increases, leading to exciting and potentially lucrative win opportunities.
