Templar Tumble

Templar Tumble Basics

Templar Tumble advertises up to 117,649 ways, then bricks up its own board. Outside free spins, each Templar Tumble demo spin starts with sandstone blocks placed among the symbols, and the idle screen shows 22 of them across the top rows, none able to pay. Breaking that wall is the familiar job. The better game is the one that waits, in mystery symbols that survive every cascade and reveal once the wins have stopped.

Released as a March 2021 cathedral slot from Relax Gaming, it’s what the studio calls the fourth edition in its tumble series, with a stone knight left of the grid and a winged gargoyle perched on a pillar to its right.

Demo Play Features

The Blocker Wall

Wins clear the way. All winning symbols are destroyed along with any blocker adjacent to them, the rest fall, and new symbols drop in until no more wins form. Break every blocker in a single spin, and free spins trigger, which is the clear-every-block route of Temple Tumble Megaways, ending in the same 6 spins. No new blocker symbols can fall in during the cascades.

A Late Wild

The Wild stands in for any symbol, though it comes late. Wilds can occur on cascades following the initial drop, on reels 2 to 6 only, with at most one falling in during any given cascade. A Wild therefore needs a win ahead of it. Its tile is gold, with “wild” in gold blackletter under a red cross pattée in a gold roundel.

Mystery Reveal

In regular play, a Wild falling in on a cascade turns between 3 and 8 blockers into mystery symbols, gold tiles marked with a red wax-seal circle and a question mark. Those tiles cannot be destroyed like normal symbols or blockers, and they remain on the grid until activated, so the tumble carries on around them while they wait. Activation comes when no wins are present. At that point, the mystery symbols either all turn into one and the same normal symbol, or each turns into a coin symbol that awards a prize between 1x and 1000x the bet. Coin symbols are destroyed directly after the reveal and always result in at least one additional cascade, giving any blocks beside a fresh win another chance to break.

Free Spins Trigger

Triggering free spins awards 6 spins, and no blocker symbols are present in them. If a Wild falls in, 3 to 6 normal symbols are transformed into mystery symbols, though symbols resulting in normal wins can’t be picked. The reveal has the same two outcomes, one shared symbol or coins, and in free spins a coin can also award an extra free spin.

Buy Free Spins

Buying Free Spins costs 80x the reference bet size and can only be done in the base game. It directly awards the Free Spins feature.

The blocker wall on its own is the tumble family’s familiar road to free spins, and with a paytable that tops out at 2x for 6 helmets, it would leave Templar Tumble looking like a reskin. Mystery Reveal rescues it. Symbols that wait out the cascades, then turn into one shared symbol or into coins, give this slot a second game inside the first. The largest prize the rules name is still the 1000x coin, and there’s one buy and one bonus round, but the late Wild is reason enough to spend some free play here.
