Tropicool Slot
Released by ELK Studios in 2021, Tropicool is an online slot game which blends icy imagery with the iconic tropical beach theme. With frozen fruits and charming penguins, Tropicool's atmosphere is unlike anything else we have seen at BOYLE Casino, making it an impressive release from the slot provider. Tropicool also features a variety of bonus mechanics, including avalanche reels, wilds, and bonus games triggered by special icons.
Tropicool Game Background
Tropicool's core gameplay mechanics are different from what we see in other online slot games. For example, the slot game features a 6x6 playgrid, meaning there are 30 spaces for icons to land on during each spin. Because the playgrid is quite original, the paylines follow the same style: Tropicool offers 46,656 different ways to trigger symbol combinations. This is due to the adjacent pays mechanic, which means identical symbols can land on adjacent reels, triggering base game prizes when possible, and the payline must begin on the leftmost reel for prizes to activate.
Visually, Tropicool stands out from other beach-themed games, as penguins have taken over the beach and tropical environment. With ice covering tiki huts and sand replaced with a white sheet of snow, this slot blends the charming atmosphere of tropical slots with Arctic thematics. In the background, the setting sun casts a purple glow across the sky, adding to the unique, well-designed atmosphere. At the top of the screen, an extra row of slot symbols can drop features into gameplay when triggered.
As the first release in the series, Tropicool has inspired plenty of other slot games to check out. For example, BOYLE Casino offers slots such as Tropicool 2 and Tropicool 3, which are part of the same series.
Tropicool Slot Symbols
The slot symbols in Tropicool are all fruit, encased in ice cubes to enhance the icy atmosphere. However, higher-value and special symbols are not in ice blocks, such as the penguin icon or the Wild symbol. Some of the highest-value symbols span multiple positions in columns, while regular icons occupy only one space.
Lower Value Symbols:
Purple Fruit
Green Fruit
Yellow Fruit
Red Fruit
Medium Value Symbols:
Apple
Coconut
Strawberry
Higher Value Symbols:
Flamingo
Penguin
As mentioned, Tropicool includes bonus icons, with wild symbols and bonus scatters appearing. Each of these is represented by the respective letters βWβ and βBβ, and they are designed in a golden colour, making them stand out from others.
Tropicool Bonus Features
As in Megaways slots, symbols in triggering combinations are removed in Tropicool, allowing more icons to land across the reels. The avalanche feature in Tropicool lets symbols explode; this allows new symbols to drop down from the top row and potentially land bonus icons such as wilds or bonus scatters.
Wild symbols can appear as regular, sticky, or multiplier wilds, and they can step in for regular symbols to form matched combinations when possible. The sticky wild remains on the grid for 3 spins, while the multiplier wild can multiply prize values of combinations it forms a part of by x2, x3, x4, or x5 if it forms part of a combination.
Row swap symbols can also land, replacing all other symbols on a row with one regular icon, except wilds or bonus icons. These symbols are unique because they can change an entire row into the same icon, creating a matched combination.
Finally, landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 bonus scatters triggers 10, 15, 20, or 25 free drops. As in other games such as jackpot slots, there is a bonus multiplier that applies to any combinations in the free drops; this can be increased by landing prize multiplier symbols in play. It is also possible to trigger a further +1, +2 or +5 spins by landing extra drop symbols throughout this bonus, similar to the multiplier upgrades.
