Summary:
- Pragmatic Play releases “Tiny Toads” slot
- Betting range from $/€0.25 to $/€125
- Max win of 4,000x
Pragmatic Play, one of the industry’s fastest-growing providers of mobile and desktop digital casino games, has released “Tiny Toads“. The latest addition to the slot scene introduces a quirky charm to the highly popular amphibian theme.
While the game might not immediately strike you as a 2024 release, it does offer plenty of intriguing mechanics and entertaining gameplay, so the dated appearance will soon vanish from new players’ minds.
The game is played on a 5 reel grid with 50 paylines which can be expanded to a 5×6 grid with 100 paylines during the Green Modifier.
Above the reels, three frogs sitting on lily pads are linked to the Firefly collection mechanic. Players can stake between $0.25 and $250 per spin, courtesy of the high volatility math model and an RTP of 96.51%.
To form winning combinations, players must land matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.
The 10-A card ranks offer payouts of 0.6x the bet for five-of-a-kind, while higher-value symbols like flowers, logs, fish, birds, and crocodiles provide slightly better returns of 1x to 2x the bet for a full line of five.
Wild symbols can replace any pay symbol to help create winning combinations. However, they only appear on reels two through five.
Special Features
The game revolves around three types of Fireflies, namely, Purple, Red, and Green. These symbols are collected by their respective frogs and can randomly activate free spins with unique modifiers:
- Purple Modifier: awards prizes of 1x–10x the bet or extra spins. A random multiplier (x2, x3, or x5) can boost line wins.
- Red Modifier: replaces Fireflies with Golden Fireflies, revealing prizes, letters for fixed jackpots (Mini, Minor, Major, Grand), or extra spins.
- Green Modifier: expands the grid and paylines, while wilds nudge to fill entire reels.
Depending on the activated modifiers, players receive between five and 10 free spins. Collecting additional Fireflies during free spins can trigger more spins with new modifier combinations.
Tiny Toads features four fixed jackpots: Mini (10x), Minor (30x), Major (350x), and Grand (3,500x).
To win jackpots, players must collect the letters spelling their names. Players can buy free spins directly for 100x the bet (random modifiers) or 400x for all three modifiers active.
All in all, Pragmatic Play’s new game offers a mix of familiar mechanics and a unique twist, but fans of the studio might feel it falls short of the studio’s usual standards.
The visuals and gameplay, while amusing, lack the polish expected from such a highly praised developer.
