Temple Tumble Megaways slot review

Temple Tumble Megaways slot at a glance

Temple Tumble Megaways is a jungle-temple adventure built by Relax Gaming using the Megaways reel engine, which Relax uses under licence from Big Time Gaming. It came out in 2019 and still sits in many UK slot lobbies.

The table below lists the published specifications. Anything not shown here, such as the paytable values or the minimum bet, varies by casino and should be read from the game's own info screen.

How the features work in Temple Tumble Megaways

Everything in this slot hangs off three linked ideas: cascading wins, a wild explorer and a layer of stone blocks covering part of the reels. Once you see how they connect, the game is simple to follow on a small screen.

Cascading wins

When a spin pays, the winning symbols are removed and new ones drop in from above. If the new arrangement forms another win, it pays too, and the process repeats until nothing new connects. One paid spin can therefore produce a chain of wins without any extra stake.

The Explorer wild

The Explorer is the game's wild symbol. Like most wilds it stands in for regular symbols to help complete a winning combination. The exact symbols it can and cannot replace are listed in the paytable, so check there before relying on it.

Stone blocks

Some positions on the reels are covered by stone blocks. A block is destroyed when a win lands next to it, which opens that space for regular symbols in the next cascade. Because each cascade can break more stone, a single long chain of wins chips away at the wall.

Free spins and the three modes

Clear every stone block and the free spins round begins with six spins. Before it starts, you choose one of three modes: one that adds extra spins, one that combines multipliers with extra spins, and one that offers multipliers only. The game's help screen sets out exactly what each mode gives, and it is worth reading before you pick.

How Temple Tumble Megaways reaches 46,656 ways

On every spin each of the six reels shows between 2 and 6 symbols. The number of ways to win is the number of symbols on reel 1, multiplied by the number on reel 2, and so on across all six reels. Ways-to-win slots normally pay for matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left; the paytable confirms the details.

The headline figure only appears when every reel shows its maximum, which is uncommon. Most spins sit far below it. More ways do not change the RTP; they change how wins are spread across spins. Our Megaways games guide explains the engine across other titles.

Choosing a free spins mode in Temple Tumble Megaways

The mode choice is the one real decision the slot gives you. It does not change the game's overall return, which is fixed by its maths. What it changes is the shape of the outcome: more spins tend to spread value across more results, while multipliers concentrate it into fewer, larger ones.

• Extra spins: a longer round, so results are spread across more spins.
• Multipliers with extra spins: a middle path between length and multiplier size.
• Multipliers only: a shorter round where outcomes depend more heavily on the multiplier.

None of these options is a way to beat the house edge. Pick whichever round you would enjoy more, and treat the result as entertainment either way. The exact spin counts and multiplier values for each mode are in the in-game rules.

Temple Tumble Megaways RTP and volatility on a £20 budget

An RTP of 96.25% means the long-run return is £96.25 for every £100 staked, so the house edge is 3.75%. Expected loss is stake × house edge, which works out at about 3.75p for every £1 you bet. That average only shows up over a very large number of spins.

High volatility is the bigger factor for a short session. It means long runs of small or no wins, with value bunched into rarer features. A £20 balance can run out well before the stone wall is cleared, and it can also last longer than expected. Neither is predictable.

The 600-spin column is an illustration of roughly an hour at a steady pace, not a measured speed. At £1 a spin, the 7,767x cap equals about £7,767, but a result of that size is extremely rare and should never be the reason to play. A deposit limit set before you start is the simplest way to keep the session at the cost you planned.

Playing Temple Tumble Megaways on iPhone and Android

Relax Gaming slots are web games that run inside a casino's app or mobile site, so the same game loads on an iPhone or an Android phone. There is no separate Temple Tumble app to download. Whether the reels sit best in portrait or landscape depends on the casino's game window, so try both.

Megaways reels change height every spin, which can make symbols small on a narrow screen. If your app offers a full-screen option, it usually helps. Cascades also mean more animation per spin than a simple three-row slot, so expect higher battery and data use than a classic fruit game.

How to check the RTP in your app before you play

1. Open your casino app and search the slot lobby for Temple Tumble Megaways.
2. Load the game, then look for the info or help icon in the game window.
3. Find the stated return to player and compare it with 96.25%.
4. Read the free spins section so you know what each of the three modes gives.
5. Set your stake, keeping inside the UK limit that applies to your age.

Our guide to finding a game's RTP in an app covers this in more detail. Apps do not lower RTP by default, but a casino can choose which approved version to run, which is why the help screen is the figure to trust.

UK rules for the Temple Tumble Megaways slot in apps

Every UK-licensed app has to apply the Gambling Commission's online slot rules to this game. Under the slot stake limits, the maximum is £5 a spin if you are 25 or over and £2 if you are 18 to 24, as set out in the Commission's online slots stake limit guidance (opens in a new tab).

• No autoplay and no turbo or slam-stop, under the game design rules in force since 31 October 2021.
• At least 2.5 seconds between the start of one spin and the next.
• No celebration sounds or graphics for a return that is equal to or less than your stake.
• Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players, so you reach free spins only by clearing the blocks.
• Your net spend and time played must be shown during the session.

These standards sit in the Commission's RTS 14 responsible product design rules (opens in a new tab). A version of the game seen on a non-UK site may look different for exactly these reasons.

Relax Gaming, Big Time Gaming and the Megaways licence

Relax Gaming was founded in 2010, started out in Tallinn and is now based in Malta. It has made its own slots since 2018 and holds a Gambling Commission licence (account 37462). Its best-known series is Money Train.

Big Time Gaming, founded in Sydney in 2011, created the Megaways mechanic and licenses it to other studios, which is why this Relax title carries the name. Evolution agreed to buy Big Time Gaming in 2021. For a wider list of games built on the engine, see the best Megaways apps.
