Tuk Tuk Thailand in South Africa: Moving Wilds, Lotus Prizes and a Feature Buy
Tuk Tuk Thailand is a Habanero slot from 2022, set on the streets of Bangkok: five reels of three and 243 ways. Any lotus that lands can carry a prize, up to 100 times the stake by the studio's page. Three or more scatters start free games in which tuk tuk wilds move one reel to the left each game, and the round lasts until none are left. Habanero rates the volatility low and lists a maximum multiplier of x1,525.

How Tuk Tuk Thailand works
Five reels of three rows give 243 ways at a fixed cost of 25 coins times the bet level (1, 2, 5, 7 or 10 in Habanero's demo). In the base game, ways pay from the leftmost reel to the right, each way pays its longest combination only, and wins for different combinations are added.
The pay table is topped by five pictures, over A, K, Q and J. By our reading of the rules screen they show a purple lotus, a horned red and green mask, a golden boat with a dragon's head at the prow, a tiger with wrapped fists and a bowl of prawn soup. The wild, a pink tuk tuk marked WILD, substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and its one line in the pay table is five wilds. The scatter, a golden temple spire, pays anywhere and, by the rules, appears only in the base game.
Ways multiply: in one of Habanero's screenshots two wilds and six K's make eight ways of five K's by our count, WIN €14,000.00 at a €1,250 bet.
What each symbol pays on a R5 spin
At the demo's opening bet of 12.50 the rules screen shows 250 for five wilds, so by our division the table counts in 25ths of the stake. Rand is our multiplication at R5, per way; the last column, our division by the stake.

| Symbol | Five | Four | Three | Five, times the stake |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild tuk tuk | R100 | - | - | 20x |
| Lotus | R80 | R48 | R14 | 16x |
| Horned mask | R60 | R30 | R12 | 12x |
| Dragon-prow boat | R40 | R22 | R10 | 8x |
| Tiger | R35 | R14 | R8 | 7x |
| Prawn soup | R25 | R12 | R2 | 5x |
| A | R10 | R6 | R1 | 2x |
| K | R7 | R5 | R1 | 1.4x |
| Q | R4 | R3 | R1 | 0.8x |
| J | R3 | R2 | R1 | 0.6x |
| Scatter, anywhere | R250 | R25 | R5 | 50x |
The lotus: a money symbol on top of the pay table
'Any lotus symbol landing can randomly award a bonus prize and pay as displayed by each symbol.' The rules give the prizes 'as a multiplier of the bet level', with no odds. Habanero's page says money symbols 'pay up to 100x the total bet', which is x2500 in the pay table's 25ths, by our arithmetic. Rand is our multiplication at R5.
| Prize | On a R5 spin | Times the stake |
|---|---|---|
| x5 | R1 | 0.2x |
| x10 | R2 | 0.4x |
| x15 | R3 | 0.6x |
| x250 | R50 | 10x |
| x500 | R100 | 20x |
| x1000 | R200 | 40x |
| x2500 | R500 | 100x |
The free games: tuk tuk wilds that drive to the left
Three or more scatters anywhere trigger the free games. Three put one wild on the rightmost reel of the first free game, four put two and five put three.
'All Wild symbols remain on the reels and move one reel to the left each free game.' Wilds on the leftmost reel are removed, new wilds can only land on the rightmost reel, and 'free games are played until no more Wild are left'. The rules give no number of free games; by our reading a new wild on reel five keeps the round going. Habanero's own screenshots show a trigger banner reading 'Congratulations! You Won 6 Free Games!' and a closing one, '6 Free Games Played'.
In the free games ways pay from the leftmost reel to the right, and 'if there is no win then ways pay if in succession from the rightmost reel to the left': by our reading one direction per game, not both. The feature cannot be retriggered, and free games play at the ways and bet level of the triggering game.
Buy Feature: three ways into the free games
The game page ticks Buy Feature. By the rules, 'the cost of each option is displayed in the Buy Feature popup', and 'the base game will play before the feature'. Prices are the demo popup's, the same multiple of the bet at 12.50 and 17.50 by our division; RTP lines are from the demo's Help.
| Option | What it triggers | Price in the demo | RTP line in the demo |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 - 5 scatters | The free games | 59.32 times the bet | No line names it |
| 4 scatters | Free games, 2 wilds 'always landing on the rightmost reel' | 87.6 times the bet | 96.67% |
| 5 scatters | Free games, 3 wilds 'always landing on the rightmost reel' | 235.2 times the bet | 96.68%, printed twice |
What a bought round costs, and the x1,525
At R5 the demo's multiples would be R296.60, R438 and R1,176, by our multiplication. The demo's Help gives normal play 96.67%, so by its own lines the four- and five-scatter options return about what spinning does: a purchase puts more money on one round, it does not shrink the house edge.
Habanero's game page lists a maximum multiplier of x1,525, R7,625 on a R5 spin by our multiplication, without saying which round reaches it.
Jackpots, tournaments and bonus spins 🎁
- Tools the casino switches on. The demo shows a Jackpot Race banner, and the game page ticks UP Tournaments and Bonus Free Spins: tools a casino runs from Habanero's Back Office, so one casino may show them and another not. SuperBet is marked as not part of the game.
