Tropicool 2 review

Theme and Storyline

Tropicool 2 is themed around a whimsical seaside holiday.

Players will grab a piña colada as they step out onto the tropical sunshine and arctic ice. Golden sand, turquoise water, and a wayward iceberg make a unique setting as players collect as much ripe fruit as they can.

This slot will appeal to fans of fruit machine themes, as well as those longing for a tropical escape.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Tropicool 2 features personified animal characters, including a surfer sloth, a flamingo in a swimsuit, and a toucan in a top hat. Each of these adorable creatures is illustrated in a colorful cartoon style that brings life to the seaside world.

On the reels, there are a variety of tropical fruit symbols, including pineapples, coconuts, and limes. Classic fruit machine fruits such as lemons, plums, and oranges are also included.

Behind the reels, players will see a beach resort and festively decorated palm trees. In the distance, a towering iceberg floats in the warm, tropical ocean. Players will be left to speculate about how such an enormous chunk of arctic ice made its way to the tropics.

The jazz-infused soundtrack features saxophone notes that create a relaxing vibe.

The range of bets on the site we tested ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

The volatility of Tropicool is high, which would have made it a good match for our preferred slot machine strategies if it offered a higher RTP. Our slot strategies target the highest possible volatility.

Conclusion

We do not recommend this low RTP, high volatility beach holiday-themed slot.

Tropicool 2 offers a whimsical theme and cute characters, but this is not enough to redeem this slot's disappointing RTP.

Some players might choose to try this slot and explore its bonus features, but they would do well to move on to slots that can provide a more favorable RTP.
