Totem Poles Game Information

3×3 Grid and 11 Paylines

Totem Poles uses a relatively simple 3-reel, 3-row layout with 11 fixed paylines.

The regular game is designed around matching symbols and creating fully stacked reels. Stacked combinations are especially important because they can activate the Spirit Wheel and open access to the game’s larger bonus mechanics.

Theme and Visual Design

The visual presentation draws on Pacific Northwest Indigenous-inspired artwork, carved totem imagery, forests and animal spirits. Totem-style symbols dominate the reel area, while the surrounding scenery uses earthy colours and natural environments.

Animals mentioned in the supplied information include the eagle, bear, bull, cow, goat, owl and cougar. A guide character named Kateri also appears in the game presentation.

The soundtrack is described as using drums and flute-based elements, while animations bring the carved symbols and stacked reel combinations to life during feature sequences.

Regular Symbols

The supplied information separates several symbols into higher- and lower-paying groups.

The complete symbol-by-symbol paytable is not included in the supplied material.

Stacked Reel Mechanic

Fully stacked matching reels are central to Totem Poles. When three reels become completely filled with the same matching symbol, the game can activate the Spirit Wheel.

The stacked combination is evaluated first, after which the Spirit Wheel provides an additional result.

Spirit Wheel

The Spirit Wheel acts as a gateway to several of the game’s larger rewards and bonus modes.

It is triggered by landing three fully stacked reels containing matching symbols. After the corresponding base-game win has been paid, the wheel is activated.

Possible Spirit Wheel results described in the source include:

• Cash multipliers
• Multipliers from 2x up to 200x
• The maximum 10,000x award
• Entry to Odoodem Spins
• Entry to Super Odoodem Spins

When multiple qualifying stacked reel combinations are involved, the game can award up to three Spirit Wheel spins.

Odoodem Spins

The standard Odoodem Spins feature awards 10 Free Spins.

During this mode, the reels contain blanks and the symbol associated with the trigger. The feature also introduces a Multiplier Trail that starts at 1x.

Every consecutive win increases the multiplier by +1x and also awards a respin.

According to the supplied information, the Multiplier Trail has no stated upper limit during this mode.

Odoodem Multiplier Trail

The Odoodem multiplier develops across consecutive successful results.

1. The feature starts with a 1x multiplier.
2. A winning result increases the multiplier by +1x.
3. The win also provides a respin.
4. Another consecutive win increases the multiplier again.
5. If a respin fails, progression stops at that point.

The source states that after a losing respin, the multiplier resets to its previously used level while the remaining Free Spins continue.

Spirit Wheel During Odoodem Spins

Stacked reels can appear again during Odoodem Spins and reactivate the Spirit Wheel.

During this bonus mode, the wheel can provide additional rewards such as:

• Multiplier increases
• Additional Free Spins
• The 10,000x maximum win

Super Odoodem Spins

Super Odoodem Spins is an enhanced version of the standard feature and also starts with 10 Free Spins.

The main difference is the multiplier setup. Instead of beginning at 1x, the Super version starts at 5x.

Each consecutive win then increases the Multiplier Trail by +2x.

The multiplier cannot fall below its initial 5x base value.

Super Odoodem Multiplier Progression

The supplied information describes the progression as follows:

• Starting multiplier: 5x
• Increase after each consecutive win: +2x
• Minimum multiplier during the feature: 5x

Stacked symbols can also reactivate the Spirit Wheel during Super Odoodem Spins.

Enhanced Spirit Wheel Rewards

The Spirit Wheel uses enhanced values during the Super Odoodem feature.

Possible results include Multiplier Boosts from +2x to +6x, additional spins or the game’s maximum 10,000x payout.

Feature Buy

Totem Poles includes several Feature Buy options, each providing a different level of access to the game’s bonus mechanics.

BonusHunt FeatureSpins

The lowest-cost feature option is priced at 3x the current bet.

Rather than directly starting a full bonus round, this option is described as increasing the probability of triggering a feature by approximately five times.

Spirit Wheel FeatureSpins

For 50x the bet, the Spirit Wheel FeatureSpins option provides enhanced access to the wheel mechanic.

The source describes this option as guaranteeing up to three Spirit Wheel activations.

Direct Odoodem Bonus Buy

Players can directly access standard Odoodem Spins for 100x the current stake.

This starts the 10-spin feature with its 1x Multiplier Trail and +1x progression after consecutive wins.

Direct Super Odoodem Bonus Buy

The most expensive supplied option costs 250x the bet and launches Super Odoodem Spins.

This version begins with the 5x multiplier and uses the stronger +2x multiplier progression.

RTP

The main game specifications supplied for Totem Poles list a default RTP of 96.27%.

However, the same source contains several different RTP figures. Its Feature Buy section states values ranging from 96.28% to 96.31%, while a later FAQ section gives a default figure of 96.33%.

Because these figures conflict, the actual RTP displayed in the current game information panel should be treated as authoritative for the version being played.

RTP is a theoretical long-term calculation and does not predict the result of any individual session.

Medium-to-High Volatility

Totem Poles is described as a medium-to-high volatility slot in its standard configuration.

The supplied information also indicates that purchased bonus modes, especially Super Odoodem Spins, can produce substantially higher variance than regular gameplay.

Volatility describes the mathematical distribution of outcomes and does not determine when a bonus or larger win will occur.

Bet Range

Regular wagers range from €0.10 to €100 per spin.

Maximum Win of 10,000x

The maximum stated payout is 10,000x the selected stake.

The 10,000x amount can appear as one of the larger Spirit Wheel outcomes according to the supplied feature description.

Game Controls

The supplied information describes standard slot controls for adjusting the game and starting rounds.

• Use the + and – controls to change the stake.
• Spin starts a new round.
• Autoplay can preset a number of automatic rounds.
• Turbo and Super Turbo modes can be selected from the game menu.
• The Feature Buy control opens the available bonus-purchase options.

Availability of individual controls can depend on the jurisdiction or casino configuration.

Responsible Gaming

Totem Poles uses random outcomes, and its stacked symbols, Spirit Wheel, Free Spins and multiplier mechanics cannot predict future results or guarantee a return.

Feature Buy options can substantially increase the amount placed at risk in a single round. Set personal spending and session limits, avoid chasing losses and only gamble with money intended for entertainment.
