Tempest Spins 100

Tempest Spins 100 Overview

Tempest Spins 100 is a five-reel, four-row slot from Platipus with 100 paylines, a 96% RTP, a medium volatility rating and a published ceiling of 1,000x. It was released on 3 April 2025.

All figures below were read from demo play at a $100.00 total bet. The footer states the format on every spin: PLAY 100 LINES.

Fruit in a Thunderstorm

The presentation is one idea executed well: a classic fruit set dropped into a lightning storm. The background is blue-black cloud with forks of lightning running across it, and the reels are outlined in electric blue.

The symbols are cherries, lemon, plum, grapes, watermelon and a red seven, with a gold lightning bolt as the scatter and a crackling WILD plate.

The Wild Is Stacked, and It Is the Top Symbol

The paytable is unusually explicit about it: Wild symbols substitute all other symbols with the exception of Scatter symbols. Wild symbols may appear anywhere on reels as a stacked symbol.

And the wild is also the best-paying symbol on the game: 1000 for five, 400 for four and 40 for three – against 400 for five sevens and 200 for five melons or grapes.

So a stacked wild column does two jobs at once: it completes every line it touches, and it is itself worth two and a half times what a line of sevens pays. On a hundred-line grid, that is a lot of lines at once.

The figures are quoted per line: with 100 lines and a $100.00 stake, each line is carrying one dollar.

What the Stacks Did

One capture has a full column of four wilds on the fifth reel with watermelons filling the rest – $380.00, or 3.8x the stake.

Better still: wilds on two adjacent reels – stacked across the second and third columns with sevens beside them – paid $3,280.00, which is 32.8x.

And the session’s best came from three separate wild stacks, on the second, third and fifth reels, with plums filling the gaps: $4,120.00, or 41.2x the stake. The footer credits LINE 22 WON $300.00 as one component of it, which gives a sense of how many lines were contributing.

Note the progression: one stack is worth about 4x, two stacks 33x, three stacks 41x. The wilds do not simply add up – two columns that can complete each other are worth far more than one.

The footer breaks the same spin down line by line while it pays – one readout shows 16 WON $80.00 – so on a hundred-line game you can still see where the money came from.

The Fruit Alone

Without wilds the numbers are steady rather than exciting. A grid with nine grapes paid $399.00 (4x). Twelve cherries with one wild paid $500.00 (5x). Another cherry grid returned $325.96, which is 3.3x.

That last figure is worth a note: $325.96 is not a round number, and on a hundred-line game it never will be. Several lines of different lengths pay simultaneously, and the total lands wherever the arithmetic leaves it.

Two more fruit results fill in the range: ten lemons paid $370.00 (3.7x), and the grape and cherry grids described above landed at 4x and 5x. Without a wild stack, this game lives between three and five times the stake.

A Thousand-Times Ceiling

The published maximum of 1,000x is modest, and it fits what the rest of the game says. Five wilds on one line is 1000 per line – at a dollar a line, ten times the stake – so reaching the cap needs many lines paying near the top at once.

The captured 41.2x is therefore about a twenty-fourth of the ceiling, and it came from a genuinely good grid. This is not a game where one lucky spin multiplies a balance; it is one where a strong wild landing pays for a long stretch of ordinary ones.

What the Session Did

Unusually, the balance climbs steadily: $8,940.00, then 9,050.00, 9,280.00, 12,020.00, 12,470.38, 13,390.71 and $14,860.00 across the captures.

That is a gain of about $5,900, or 59x the stake – and the two big wild spins account for nearly all of it. Eight wins were recorded: six between 2x and 5x, and two above 30x. That distribution is exactly what a medium rating on a hundred-line grid should produce.

The Scatter We Did Not See

The paytable names a Scatter symbol – the gold lightning bolt – and excludes it from the wild’s substitutions, which is the standard signal that a free-spins round exists. One capture has three bolts on the grid with a $200.00 win beside them, so the scatter pays in its own right as well.

None of the captures show that round running, so we are not quoting figures for it. What the base game does is described above; the rest is the studio’s to demonstrate.

One more thing the hundred lines change: the grid is four rows deep rather than three, so a stacked wild covers four positions instead of three – which is why a single column is already worth nearly four times the stake here.

The Interface

Platipus keeps it uniform across its catalogue: BALANCE bottom-left, TOTAL BET bottom-right with arrows either side, a HOLD FOR TURBO ring beside the spin key, and a menu, full-screen and sound trio in the corner.

A long bet reference number is printed in the top-left corner of every spin, and the win plate sits across the foot of the reels rather than over them.

The lightning is not only decoration: winning positions are drawn with blue electricity crackling around them while the rest of the grid dims, so on a hundred-line game the shape of the win is visible before the total finishes counting.

Who Should Play It

Tempest Spins 100 is for players who want a hundred-line fruit machine with one strong idea – a stacked wild that is also the top-paying symbol. The storm artwork is striking, the line-by-line readout keeps a busy grid legible, and a medium volatility rating on 100 lines means the reels are rarely silent.

The reservations are the 1,000x ceiling, which is low by current standards, and a base fruit set whose best line is worth a fraction of the wild’s. Everything here depends on how often the wild stacks.
