Released on the 25^th  of June 2024, the Ancient Tumble slot has an adventure theme. When the game starts, there’s an intro video which shows the explorer descending on a rope from a helicopter.

This jungle journey takes you to the depths of the rainforest where the stone reels are set in front of a forgotten temple. With an Asian feel, it looks like the setting is an old Buddhist temple.

To the side of the 6x6 grid, you’ll see an intrepid explorer who looks like a younger and slighter version of the character in Temple Tumble Megaways (also by Relax Gaming). With rain falling, the soundtrack is mysterious and creates a sense of unease and anticipation. It’s quite clear Relax has spent a lot of time crafting this game.

On the reels, you’ll see A, K, Q and J royals as well as red, green and blue gemstones. Then you have 2 mask symbols with the red mask symbol the most rewarding. 6 across a payline pays 1 times your total bet. Naturally, the explorer is the wild symbol and appears on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and/or 6. It substitutes for all symbols to help form winning combinations. Below is a list of symbol payouts and functions:

• Stone Block: Have no value and are empty positions
• A/K/Q/J: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 or 0.2 x bet
• Blue Gemstone: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.15, 0.2 or 0.3 x bet
• Green Gemstone: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 x bet
• Red Gemstone: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.15, 0.25, 0.35 or 0.5 x bet
• Green Mask: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.6 x bet
• Red Mask: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.5, 0.8 or 1 x bet
• Explorer Wild: Substitutes for all symbols + appears on reels 2-6

Ancient Tumble Mobile

Relax Gaming creates all its slot games with HTML5 technology. This means that Ancient Tumble is available to play on laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices. If playing on an iOS or Android smartphone, there is a Portrait Mode which takes up more of your screen.

The Ancient Tumble slot game comes with 10 bonus features. With tumbles that can give you Unbreakable Wilds, it’s all about the various free spins modes which award coin stone blocks with multipliers, multiplier increases, colossal symbols and a multiplier ladder up to 100x. If you trigger the Super Free Spins feature, all extras are rolled into 1.

Tumble

As the name suggests, every winning combination triggers the Tumble feature. Winning symbols as well as stone blocks direct to the left, right, above or below winning symbols will be destroyed. With the remaining symbols falling into the empty positions, new symbols fall in to fill the gaps. This process repeats itself as long as you keep winning.

Unbreakable Wild

The Unbreakable Wild feature can be triggered in the base game as well as Enhanced Spins, Classic Free Spins and Super Free Spins features. When you land a tumble/winning combination, any stone block on reels 2-6 can reveal an Unbreakable Wild symbol.

These special wilds destroy any standard symbols directly below it after every winning cascade but cannot destroy other stone blocks, coin symbols or other Unbreakable Wilds. Once they reach the bottom row, they will remain in position until part of a win or until the spin ends.

Free Spins

If you destroy all stone blocks in the base game, you will get to choose from 4 different Free Spins features. With 6 free spins awarded for each, here is what each mode entails:

• Coin Free Spins: Between 3 and 14 coin stone blocks appear on each free spin. If a stone block containing a coin is destroyed in a tumble, it will be replaced by a coin. A the end of the spin or set of tumbles, all coin symbols will reveal a bet multiplier of between 1 and 25 times your total bet. Coin multiplier stone blocks can also appear with the multiplier activated when destroyed. This multiplier multiplies the win from any coins present.
• Classic Free Spins: Extra spins stone blocks are in play and award 1-3 extra free spins when destroyed. There are also multiplier special stone blocks with a multiplier of 1-3x. When destroyed, they are added to the overall multiplier.
• Colossal Free Spins: Colossal versions of standard symbols ranging between 2x2 to 5x in size will appear on every single free spin. A 5x5 colossal symbol is equivalent to 25 standard symbols and increases your chances of forming winning combinations.
• Multiplier Ladder Free Spins: After every win and the start of each new free spin, the multiplier moves up 1 stop on the ladder up to 100x. When you reach 10x, 20x or 50x, 1 extra free spin is awarded. Reaching 100x will give you 2 additional free spins.

Furthermore, the Lucky Boost feature can be triggered randomly at the start of any Free Spins feature. There is an increased chance of winning big.

Golden Spin + Super Free Spins 

Available in the base game, any spin can randomly trigger the Golden Spin feature. Increasing your chances to win, the Super Free Spins feature triggers instead of the regular free spins if you manage to destroy all stone blocks.

In the Super Free Spins feature, all extras from the 4 free spins options above are present. Destroying a multiplier stone block will increase the position on the ladder by 1 step. Importantly, the multiplier on the ladder multiplies all wins, including coin wins.

Feature Spins

The Ancient Tumble slot comes with Feature Spins options. All with the same 96.1% RTP rate, here are all 3 options:

• Enhanced Spin: Costing 50% more per spin, stone blocks are more likely to reveal Unbreakable Wilds with free spins triggered more frequently.
• Coin Spin: Costing 5 times more per spin, between 3 and 14 coin stone blocks appear on each spin which may contain multipliers.
• Colossal Spin: Costing 7 times more per spin, colossal symbols between 2x2 and 5x5 in size will appear on each spin.

Buy feature

Players located outside the UK can buy their way into regular or super free spins. With the RTP increasing to 96.5% for the 96.1% RTP version, the Free Spins features will cost 50 times your total bet. The Super Free Spins feature will set you back 400 times your total bet.

The Ancient Tumble slot is brutal like Tombstone RIP: it combines various bonus features and special symbols into a package that resembles the cult favourite Deadwood for a new and wild adventure.

Superbly designed, the Ancient Tumble slot follows a long list of adventure-themed games by Relax Gaming. Cluster Tumble, Temple Tumble Megaways and Temple Tumble 2 Dream Drop are the better ones.

With a lot going on, there are tumbles/cascades and random Unbreakable Wilds. The aim is to clear all stone blocks will give you the choice of 4 free spins features. Offering coin stake blocks worth up to 25 x bet each, multiplier stone blocks, colossal stone blocks up to 5x5 in size and a multiplier ladder up to 100x, there’s lots of variety.

With the chance to win extra free spins, randomly triggered features give you the best chance of winning big in Ancient Tumble: Lucky Boost increases your chances of a big payout with the Golden Spin giving you the chance to trigger the Super Free Spins if you destroy all stone blocks.

The Super Free Spins feature sees the extras/modifiers from all standard free spins modes in 1. Additionally, the multiplier in the ladder will multiply all wins including coin wins!

With 10,000 times bet max wins, Ancient Tumble certainly can deliver big wins if you get lucky in the various free spins features. The Super Free Spins is the one to trigger but don’t expect this to occur frequently. With lots going on and plenty of options, I would have hoped the max win potential was maybe 25,000 or 50,000 x bet instead to make it stand out.

That said, the Ancient Tumble slot is an excellent game which will keep you coming back for more. Relax Gaming does adventure slots well with this intrepid explorer giving Rich Wilde from Book of Dead a run for his money.  

If you want slot games with free spins feature options, Immortal Romance (Stormcraft Studios) and Age of the Gods (Playtech) have plenty. The latter also offers 4 progressive jackpots.
