Tucanito slot is a Pragmatic Play publication, released at the end of August 2023. With the exotic design and theme this one won’t let you leave summer vibes just yet. Instead it takes you to the heat of the jungle, where playful tucans and juicy coconuts are your sole entertainment. Not exactly though, since in this slot you can win A LOT of money with fairly low stakes.
Our team tested the slot and here’s what we think!
What’s it about?
Exotic animals and fruits are the main focus of this game. There is no major backstory built into the game and much is left to the player’s guesswork. The slot’s deliciously fruity theme could have been exploited better than it is now, and for this reason alone we believe that Tucanito slot will not break the bank on any level, frankly.
However, the cheerful vibe and good vibes of this slot are ever-present, so if you’re looking for a game that will put a smile on your face, this is a pretty good option for you. However, Tucanito is unlikely to offer a very special gaming experience, despite all its cheerfulness.
Slot features
Tucanito has three lines and five reels, so it is a very traditional slot in this respect. Winnings are always paid from left to right and can be multiple in a single spin.
Stake levels range from €0.01 up to €100. Tucanito is a high variance game, so it doesn’t pay out often.
However, when a win does come, it can be larger than usual and the winning streaks can be longer than in a low variance game.
The theoretical RTP of Tucanito is 96.5% so the house edge is quite small. However, it is worth bearing in mind that because the volatility is indeed high, this game may not be suitable for a small budget. Or at least, if you decide to play with that little money, the stakes should be very low.
Low value symbols include kiwi fruit and bananas, while pineapple is already a higher value symbol.
Bonus symbols
The highest value symbol in the game is the toucan itself, and the bonus symbol is certainly worth going for. When you get three or more bonus symbols, the game’s special feature is activated.
The bonus symbol also acts as a kind of wild in the game, meaning it can substitute for any other symbol on the payline.
General impression
Tucanito seems at first glance to be a very imaginative and fresh slot machine, but in the end it is a surprisingly boring product. There is nothing new or innovative about it and the grid itself is already very traditional. Sure, it’s nice to see that game manufacturers still rely on the good old way of making slots, but Tucanito could have done with something fresh, definitely.
The best thing about Tucanito is that the game is very simple, both in terms of implementation and rules. It is clearly built with a desire to respect the old. At the same time, it still needs more action and special situations, because now the gameplay quickly becomes very sluggish.
The soundtrack is frankly quite shocking, and you can’t listen to it for very long. Fortunately, the sound is easy to turn off. This is certainly not something Pragmatic Play would like to hear, but hey, the truth hurts.
With this game, our team was left wondering for a surprisingly long time why Pragmatic Play had even bothered to publish the whole game. Who is Tucanito aimed at, and how many times does the manufacturer itself think that this game will be playable by the modern, discerning gamer?
Tucanito is a big disappointment when you consider Pragmatic Play’s other productions in recent years. Hopefully it will come to its senses and not take on a product like this again. Better games are ahead, we hope.
