Totem poles are the carved wooden structures most associated with North American indigenous people but in this good-looking online slot from Thunderkick they form the reels and the winning combinations; it’s called Turning Totems and you can find out how to play it below.

Turning Totems is a five reel slot with three rows and eleven fixed paylines; each reel is a Totem pole split into three sections which spin independently, each revealing their symbol. There’s a desert backdrop to those reels and a Native American character on the left hand side.

There are just five base game symbols and these various totem masks differentiated by colour – yellow, red, pink, green and blue. Paylines can be formed from right to left as well as left to right.

The wild symbol is a ‘sleeping’ totem (more details about that below) but when active it will substitute for all others to form a winning combo.

Bonus Features

Thunder Snake

The Thunder Snake symbol can appear anywhere and when it does it will transform that reel into a Thunder Reel – this is marked by the creature above that reel turning gold and raising up slightly. Any sleeping wilds on this reel will now wake up and act as a normal wild and you will receive one free respin.

Bonus Game

This is triggered if at least three Thunder Reels are active at the same time; you will now receive five free spins with those Thunder Reels remaining active throughout the round.

Verdict

Turning Totems is a great slot to play, the graphics and animations are superb the bonus features are extremely creative – it comes with an RTP of 96.10%.
