Theme and general information
Temple Stacks comes with a somewhat vague jungle Aztec/Inca theme. Or Maya, if you prefer. One of those, in any case. We are in a jungle. The foliage is thick and we’re looking at a temple that frames the reels, which are either big blocks of rock carved with some stylised animal or another or massive gems in one of five colours.
Drums and flutes are playing in the background, adding to the jungle vibe. But on the whole, this is one of the more generic looking slots that Yggdrasil has delivered lately. They are capable of much more sophisticated graphics. We guess, however, that the gameplay was supposed to play centre stage here, which means the theme is just a setting, the means to an end. It suits the mechanics quite well.
The low value symbols show a lizard, eagle, snake, a fish and something that looks like a cross between a crocodile and a jaguar. We’re not sure on that one.
The high value symbols include the blue, green, pink, orange and red gems. Only the latter pays out for 2 on a payline and it also has the highest payout of 2.5x our stake for five of a kind. Whilst that may sound low, the many potential paylines this game hides can yield some decent wins.
You can play this game from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin.
The Splits mechanic and extra wins in the base game
Temple Stacks Splitz Slots
Considering the huge popularity of the Megaways engine from Big Time Gaming, it’s no surprise that other developers attempt similar approaches. Play’n GO and Red Tiger have both given it a try, but with middling success. Now Yggdrasil is next to attempt something similar and because it is quite different to the Megways mechanics as we know them, it works much better. At least, for Temple Stacks: Splitz.
We start out with the usual 243 ways to win in this game. However, the Splitz Mystery Stacks can land on all five reels and split up to 12 times. In that case, we would have 5 reels with 12 symbols high and 248,832 ways to win. And if you would score such a combination, a win of 25,000x your stake would be yours. That is only possible in the free spins, however, as the stacks only split up to 9 times in the base game.
The Splitz Mystery Stacks can land anywhere on the five reels, where they will then spin and reveal a random reel symbol. If you get two such stacks on the first two reels, your chances of getting a win are decent. Beyond that, they are somewhat doubtful.
When multiple stacks land on the reels, at least three, and a winning combination is guaranteed, three of the symbols currently on reels that could form a win will appear above the reels with a value assigned. The stacks start spinning through those three symbols, eventually settling on just one of them and paying out the associated win. This can cause quite a bit of excitement and some really good wins. We once managed a win of 280x our stake thanks to the pink gem landing. This feature can also appear during the free spins.
It’s also worth noting that there is no regular wild in the game. If we land two free spin scatters, they will turn into a Free Spin Wild hybrid symbol, where the symbol acts as a wild during the re-spin we are about to receive but as a scatter if we manage to capture another free spin symbol.
Four different free spin modes
Free spins are triggered by three scatters, which show a spiked shield of sorts. Three scatters will yield a win of 1x our stake. Four scatters would win us 10x our stake. And five scatters would yield a win of 100x our stake.
There are four free spin modes. However, upon triggering the free spins for the first time, only the first mode is active. The next three times will unlock the next three modes and after that you can choose as you like.
This is what you will get:
- 3 scatters – 15 steel, 9 bronze, 6 silver, and 3 gold free spins
- 4 scatters – 20 steel, 12 bronze, 8 silver, and 4 gold free spins
- 5 scatters – 35 steel, 21 bronze, 14 silver, and 7 gold free spins
And the different features are determining how many times the Splitz Mystery Stacks may split:
- Steel: 3-9 Splitz
- Bronze: 4-10 Splitz
- Silver: 5-11 Splitz
- Gold: 6-12 Splitz
Temple Stacks Splitz Slot Machine
The potential with 7 gold free spins and splitz of up to 12 is obviously the highest. We had one of our best wins with the Bronze free spins because we were able to retrigger the free spins. Three or more scatters will retrigger the free spins at the level you are at.
Verdict: An entertaining slot with high win potential
The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) for Temple Stacks: Splitz is 96.1%, which is a very solid average. The game comes with an unusually high potential for Yggdrasil Gaming slots and its volatility ranges from medium to high. So, big wins are possible, though not exactly frequent.
In our first session, we weren’t particularly lucky with this slot. The performance was average, and we triggered the free spins once during 200 spins, whilst we didn’t see that base game feature with the many mystery stacks and extra high wins at all.
The second session was much better. We played roughly 700 spins, triggered the free spins 6 times in total and saw those extra wins twice. Once during the base game, where we scored the staggering 280x our stake. And once during the free spins, where we landed 90x our stake.
Later on, our wins felt more frequent and more solid and we ended our session up 400x our stake thanks to the regular appearance of the free spins, which usually won us between 50x and 150x our stake. Whilst Temple Stacks is not the most sophisticated looking slot Yggdrasil has produced, its gameplay is entertaining enough to keep you going and the potential is definitely interesting as well. And if you have a good run, you can stick with this one for a while.

Those Aztecs certainly knew a thing or two about constructing temples but they’re knowledge of the technology behind online slot machines was virtually non-existent; that doesn’t matter to us however because we’re still able to play games such as Temple Stacks: Splitz from Yggdrasil Gaming and enjoy the Aztec-themed free spins and splitting reels.
Temple Stacks: Splitz is a five reel slot with three rows and two hundred and forty three ways to win in the base game; those reels spin within an ornate, blue and gold stone structure nestled in the Amazonian undergrowth.
The five higher value symbols are all coloured rocks (or perhaps gems) of different colours – red, orange, purple, green and blue; rocks carved with animals – a snake, a crocodile, a bird, a lizard and a fish – represent the lower values.
The wild symbol and the free spins symbol are one and the same although the free spins one only kicks in when at least three land.
Bonus Features
Splitz Mystery Stacks
The Mystery Stack can occur on any reel and on any spin and once landed it will transform into matching symbols which may help you out with a win. This reel can have up to nine positions which means there’s a potential 248,832 ways to win with all reels landing in that way.
Respin
Landing two of the wild/free spin symbols in view will award one respin with those symbols held in place.
Free Spins
Landing three, four or five of the wild/free spin symbols anywhere in view will award 3, 4 or 5 free spins respectively; there are four free spins modes which are unlocked on the first four bonus triggers:
Landing at least three wild/free spins symbols during this round will award more spins according to the level you’re in.
Verdict
There’s a touch of the Megaways about Temple Stacks: Splitz but there’s enough differences here to appreciate an innovative and atmospheric slot with plenty of chances to grab some big wins. Keep playing to unlock those free spins modes!
