Totem Poles
Meet Kateri, our desert guide who’s leading us on a spiritual journey to financial ruin, one spin at a time! The reel area sits majestically before a desert landscape that’s basically a greatest hits album of ‘Things You’d Find in a Desert’ – lizards? Check. Rocks? Obviously. Plants that refuse to die? You bet. It’s like someone Googled ‘desert’ and put everything on the first page into the game.
True to Kitsune Studios tradition, there’s always a pretty distraction next to the reels – this time it’s Kateri herself, probably judging our life choices silently. The 7 symbols pay a whopping 0.20 to 2.50x your bet and they’re all animal faces that look like siblings from the same litter – zero originality, maximum confusion. We’re pretty sure they’re different animals, but we’d need a zoology degree to confirm.
And oh, the sound effects! Nothing says ‘lose your money responsibly’ quite like Wild West music playing while you spin in a desert that’s hotter than your losing streak!

Game Mechanics
Spirit Wheel
Landing 3 of the same symbol fully stacked on a reel triggers the Spirit Wheel and awards a 3 of a kind win based on that symbol. The wheel will spin and then stop on one of the outcomes below, depending on whether the triggering stack was a low or high symbol.
If multiple stacked reels trigger at once, you can earn up to 3 Spirit Wheel Spins.
It is also possible to enter the Spirit wheel, Odoodem Spins or Super Odoodem Spins by stacking the same totem symbol on reels 1, 2 or 3.
This Wheel can have following rewards
x2, x3, x5, x10, x25, x50, x100, FS, SFS, Max Win.
Bonus Game
- ODOODEM Spins:
Landing 3 of the same symbol fully stacked on a reel triggers the Spirit Wheel and awards a 3 of a kind win based on that symbol. If the wheel stops on Odoodem Spins, it launches the bonus round with 10 free spins, with the triggering symbol. During the bonus, only the triggering symbol and the dead blank symbol can appear on the reels.
The multiplier trail increases with each consecutive win. The trail starts at x1 and progresses as follows: x2 → x3 → x4 → x5 → x6 → x7 → … There is no cap on how high the multiplier can go.
After a win, the multiplier increases by x1 and a respin is awarded.
If the respin results in another win, it’s multiplied by the new multiplier and another respin follows.
If a respin does not result in a win, the multiplier drops back to the last used value. This drop only occurs once per spin and repeats with every spin during the bonus that involves a respin.
Just like in the base game, if you land your Odoodem Spins symbol stacked on any reel during the bonus, the Spirit Wheel activates again with the following potential rewards:
Boost +1 – Multiplier is boosted by 1
Boost +2 – Multiplier is boosted by 2
Boost +3 – Multiplier is boosted by 3.
Up To 3 Free Spins
Max Win. - Super ODOODEM Spins:
The multiplier trail increases with each consecutive win.. The trail starts at x5 and will never fall below x5, while progressing as follows: x7 → x9 → x11 → x13 → x15 → x17 → … There is no cap on how high the multiplier can go.
After a win, the multiplier increases by x2.
Here Spirit Wheelhave following rewards:
Boost +2 – Multiplier is boosted by 2

100 Spins Adventure
We threw 100 euros at this slot like we were feeding a very hungry, very boring pigeon, and it generously returned 76.70 euros – how thoughtful! The game promised ‘Winning Spins’ but delivered more like ‘Meh Spins.’ All the symbols look like they were designed by someone who got really tired after making the first one and just said ‘ctrl+c, ctrl+v’ for the rest. No special symbols, no excitement, just vibes of watching paint dry… but in 4K HD thanks to Hacksaw’s buttery-smooth platform. It’s like driving a Ferrari to the grocery store – great engine, zero thrills.
Totem Poles Final Impression
Kitsune Studios is on a slot-making rampage, cranking them out like a factory that forgot quality control exists. Sometimes they nail it, sometimes… they make Totem Poles. The game is about as exciting as watching paint dry, UNTIL the Spirit Wheel crashes through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man and saves the whole experience.
This wheel is the real MVP – multipliers from x2 to x100, max win of 10,000x – basically this wheel is doing ALL the heavy lifting while the rest of the game takes a nap. The entire slot is just ‘Waiting for Spirit Wheel: The Game.’ We’re pretty sure if you removed the wheel, you’d just have a screensaver.
Oh, and there are two bonus games! Except they’re identical twins who got slightly different report cards. One has higher multipliers, one has lower ones. That’s it. That’s the difference. We’ve seen more variety in a bag of plain chips.
BUT, if you’re the type who finds complexity exhausting, enjoys an RTP above 96% (fancy!), and dreams of that sweet 10,000x max win without your brain melting, then congratulations – Totem Poles was made for you. It’s the slot equivalent of comfort food: simple, predictable, and occasionally rewarding.
