Tropicool 2 Slot

If you've played ELK Studios' original Tropicool, prepare for an even more engaging sequel, Tropicool 2. The birds have abandoned the Antarctic here, but have kept their cool. The new slot takes you to a warmer place, on a tropical island, where ice cubes and fruits are served.

In terms of layout, the Tropicool 2 slot is a 6x6 slot that offers up to 46,656 ways to win and high volatility. It comes packed with Avalanches, a cool new Cool Reel above the regular grid, Elmo Redrops, Big Symbols, Free Drops, the X-iter Bonus Buy option, and plenty of other modifiers, including Multipliers. This means, the slot is loaded with special features, so let's go over them together to figure out how to get the most out of it!

As introduced, Tropicool 2 takes you to a tropical island, where the Ice Bar is open for all of you to order the icy fruits.

You see the Cool Reel above the regular 6x6 grid, which contains 3 rows. Below it, you see the grid, and on the right, you see the Autoplay button in the top corner and the Play button in the bottom corner. On the left, you see the three-bar button, which takes you straight to the paytable. Inside, you’ll see the orange, red, green, and purple berries, watermelons, pineapples, limes, strawberries, and coconuts, which allow for 0.25x to 3x the stake for the top combo. The main characters, Fiona and Tony give Scatter Pays, meaning their values are multiplied whenever they land on the reels, depending on the combo’s size.

Below the three-bar button, you see the X-iter Bonus Buy button. Press it and you’ll get 5 options to choose from, to be explained later. Finally, you have the Coins button, where you can adjust your bet. The regular bets can go from $0.20 to $100, but with the Bonus Buy options, they can go higher. In the footer, you see the Balance and Bet displays.

Whether you choose to load the Tropicool 2 real money slot on a desktop or a mobile device, you’ll see that it will play as smoothly as possible. If you want to play it on a mobile platform, rest assured that any iOS or Android device would do, as the slot was enhanced for mobile play, available in both portrait and landscape modes.

Let's explain the Avalanche mechanics first. When you create a winning combo with at least three matching symbols, it is removed from the grid and the symbols from the Cool Reel drop-down, filling any left spots with symbols. The Cool Reel gets new symbols from the right, and this is how the Avalanches continue until no new win appears.

The Cool Reel can contain empty cells, feature symbols, and empty ice cubes. If the feature symbols, thanks to the Avalanche, fall down to the main grid, they activate their powers. You can get a Row Swap, one symbol type that replaces all others except special symbols, a Mystery, meaning Mystery Symbols that reveal the same symbol type, a Locked Wild that lasts for 3 winning spins, or a Wild that will substitute for all symbols bar the special ones.

Elmos can land in 1x1 size, or when they drop down from the Cool Reel, in 1x2 size. When Elmo lands, it replaces bird symbols with Locked or regular Wilds, triggering the Elmo Redrops feature. The grid is cleared but the Locked Wilds or Bonus symbols stay, and on each re-drop, Elmo moves one reel to the left.

All symbols, except special symbols, can land in a 2x2 or 3x3 size. If this kind of symbol lands from the Cool Reel, it gets to the bottom of the grid crushing all paying symbols on its way. Since this symbol cannot crush other Big Symbols and feature symbols, it may get stuck and break into 1x1 symbols to fill in any gaps.

The Free Drops, or the Free Spins Bonus, are triggered when 3 to 6 Bonus symbols land. You get 6, 9, 12, or 15 Free Drops, with two symbols added to the Cool Reel for the duration of the Bonus Round. One is Multipliers, which increases the Win Multiplier by 1+, 2+, or 3+, while the other one is Extra Drops, which when activated, awards 1, 2, or 3 extra Free Drops. Between drops, Locked Wilds remain on the reels.

Now about the X-iter options. You have the Big Blocks to start a round with a Big symbol on the main grid and Cool Reel, which costs 10x the stake. Then, you have the Turbo Spins, giving you 25 fast-played spins for 25x the stake. You also have the Elmo option, offering guaranteed Elmo Redrops for 50x the stake. Then, you have the Buy Bonus which takes you to the Tropicool 2 Bonus Round for 100x the stake, and finally, you have the Super Bonus which for 500x the stake gets you to the Bonus Round with a starting Win Multiplier of 10x!

The RTP in the Tropicool 2 slot is pretty low, 94%, but that’s normal, considering all of these features offered. The volatility is high, and the maximum payout it can deliver is 25,000x the stake.

Playing it for the max bet of $100, you could win a staggering $2.5 million! Even if you play it for the minimum bet of $0.20, your payout would be huge, up to $5,000, so make sure you give it a spin!

Tropicool 2 is a truly remarkable slot, loaded with special features. The action is incomparable, and there’s always something happening on the reels. It is highly volatile and allows for life-changing payouts, it was designed beautifully and it is super fun to play. What else could one ask for?
