Totem, both a word and a symbol, is most often associated with indigenous civilizations in North America and Canada. South American civilizations such as the Olmecs and Incas carved square heads, but they were generally made of stone and were not stacked on top of each other to form a single column. They are usually integrated into the architecture. Why do I mention this differentiation?
Well, because of Platipus’ Totem Mystique slot. The game looks great, but there seems to be some confusion between quite different cultures. But is the slot itself okay?
Don’t forget pesticides
When the slot’s stacked Mystique symbols appear on the reels, they can be converted into single symbols to create or boost winning combinations.

Unlike most slots that have separate symbols for the wild and scatter elements of the slot, in Totem Mystique slot one symbol does double duty. The golden sun symbol serves as a substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations. Additionally, when three or more golden sun symbols appear on the reels simultaneously, a round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered. You can also manually trigger free spins rounds using the purchase bonus feature. Three or more golden sun symbols also result in a winning amount, with three symbols awarding 20x your bet, four symbols awarding you 50x your bet, and five symbols awarding you 500x your bet.
The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of golden sun symbols used to trigger the feature. 3, 4 and 5 of these symbols award 8, 10 and 12 free spins respectively. Stacked Mystique symbols that appear during the free spins round can move up or down to form fully stacked reels. Additionally, once it appears, the Mystique symbol becomes sticky and will remain on the reels for the remainder of the feature.

When stacked Mystique symbols appear on three separate reels during the base game or free spins, they transform into golden Mystique symbols. When this happens, they are all converted into one symbol as usual, but this time you will receive a payout for symbols consisting of the golden Mystic symbol on all 10 paylines.
Is the Totem Mystique slot mystical or ordinary?
Totem Mystique slot offers you the chance to win up to $345,180. However, if you want to challenge the maximum win amount, you’ll need to wager $66 per spin, thanks to the slot’s fairly average 5,230x max multiplier. Betting on Totem Mystique slot starts from $0.10 per spin. The slot features high volatility and an RTP of 95.2%.
I’ve seen at least 5 slots available with “totem” in the name. There will be more cases of using totems in illustrations. That said, Totem Mystique has had an uphill battle to stand out from the pack. In my opinion, Platipus’ team was not successful in this effort. The slot is decent, has solid graphics and some interesting bonus features. There are very few ways to provide a unique experience. I give this a 6 out of 10.
