Apache Way Review

At first glance Apache Way may look like your standard North American animal slot with a strong Native American flavor, and in some ways it is. However, we were quite impressed by the almost psychedelic audiovisual experience, as well as the overall trippy atmosphere Red Tiger has infused this release with. There must be some interesting cactuses growing in this desert for sure.

The totem grid stands next to a single teepee where the Apache shaman is apparently camping to perform a Ritual of the Sun at dawn. This is also the name of the hold-and-win style feature that comes with a 2,000x jackpot. You get to admire the artwork up close when the free spins bonus round hits, as it comes with 3x3 sized mega symbols and a 2,571x potential.

Apache Way Slot Features

The premium animal symbols pay between 8 and 20 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Apache Wild pays the same as the top-tier eagle symbol. The wild also steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, and it can appear on all 5 reels.

The Sun Scatters can linger for up to 5 spins in the base game, and they come with cash values between 1 and 20 x your stake. You need 6+ sun scatters in sight to trigger the Ritual of the Sun feature.

The triggering scatters become sticky cash symbols on an otherwise cleared grid, and you get 3 respins. Each new sticky cash scatter you land resets the respins tally to 3, and filling the screen awards a 2,000x jackpot in addition to all other winnings.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 dream catcher scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, and this gives you 5 free spins. The 3 middle reels merge so only 3x3-sized Mega Symbols land, and a Mega Free Spins symbol gives you +3 extra spins. Combine that with 1 or 2 regular sized free spins scatters, and you get 4 or 5 extra spins, respectively. The Ritual of the Sun feature can trigger from a Mega Sun Scatter during the bonus round.

The 200 Spins Apache Way Slot Experience

The Ritual of the Sun feature triggers around 0:50 into the 4-minute highlights video, so you get to see a bit of the base game first.

We trigger the bonus round at 2:32 into the video, and you can see for yourself how it all went by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

There’s something trippy about this release that reminded us of the desert LSD scene in Oliver Stone’s The Doors movie. What we’re trying to say is that the visual experience, which flows between day, dawn and night as you trigger the 2 bonus rounds, is highly satisfying and enjoyable. The panpipe soundtrack goes well together with the sound effects, making each session as relaxing as meditations over a peace pipe.

Since the audiovisual experience is so solid, it’s easier to forgive the somewhat standard features. The symbol artwork truly shines when you get 3x3 mega symbols in the bonus round, and we only wish more than 5 initial spins were possible. The Ritual of the Sun feature is a tad too generic for our liking, and the 2,571x potential could definitely have been higher. Overall, Apache Way is worthwhile mostly because of the immersive audiovisual experience.

Pros

• Trippy native-american audiovisuals
• Hold & Win w/ 2,000x full grid jackpot
• FS w/ 3x3-sized mega symbols

Cons

• The 2,571x potential is a bit low
• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
