3+ masks unlock the limitless free spins whose winnings are accompanied by X3 win multipliers. More than one substituting voyagers are X2 win multipliers. During the free games mode, green or red suns are X2 total bet multipliers.

Every winning combination has a two-way option: click “TAKE WIN” to pocket the current win, or click “TAKE RISK” to proceed to the card game. The side game has one face up playing card that is a benchmark for any of the four face down playing cards whose face value the player has guessed. In its turn, the side game has two possible outcomes: a current win-nullifying round resulting from guessing a relatively lower face value; or a current win-doubling round resulting from guessing relatively higher face value. Tribe’s non-progressive jackpot is $90000.00 X3 (win multiplier), amounting to $270000.00.

The Tribe does not support mobile users. The features of its good software range from a hamburger button at top right containing dynamic payouts (albeit wrongly placed under “rules”), statistics, and 10-999 automated spins. The sounds include tribal songs, drumming, jingling, chirping birds, and mantra. The animated 3D graphics include: glistening and elongating symbols, dolly zoom, the mask segueing into a blue sun, Polynesian men showcasing their archery skills, and bolts of lightning.
