Theme and Symbols
At least in our opinion, the scenery is just as beautiful as it was in the original. Of course, there will be no more snow and chilly winds, only warm beaches and cocktails. Not to mention the Scarecrow, who was put to the test by none other than Elmo the Sloth.
Together with Emerson and Belle, Elmo also makes an appearance on the show; we'll talk more about that in a bit. For the regulars, there are strawberries, coconuts, pineapples, limes, watermelons, red and green apples, peaches, and plums.
The bird symbols deliver multiplier values based on their size in addition to paying as scatters when 3 or more are visible. Coming soon, there are a few extras as well. So far, so good—casino software vendor ELK Studios is well capable of maintaining order among the birds.
Betting Features and Options
The Cool Reel is located above the main grid and the game has six reels, six rows, and 46,656 ways to win. Like before, Avalanches enable specific modifiers to be triggered and special symbols from Cool Reel to fall to the ground.
Wilds, Locked Wilds, Mysterious Symbols, and Row Swaps are all possible. The sole difference between this and the original is that the Cool reel has three rows instead of the original's two.
The Elmo Redrops feature is the next topic. Elmo moves one position to the left until he walks off the board after scaring away bird symbols from the main 1x2 grid and replacing them with Wilds.
Elmo, Bonus, and Birds are the only paying normal symbols and feature icons that cannot appear as large as 2x2 or 3x3 symbols. These symbols crash through everything in their path as they drop from the cool reel and make their way to the grid's base.
Nevertheless, Big Symbols are not able to smash feature Icons or other Big Symbols.

Free Spins
Free Drops: There must be three, four, five, or six B Bonus Symbols visible on the primary grid in order to initiate six, nine, twelve, or fifteen Free Drops with a multiplier of one. One Additional Drops (+1, +2 or +3) Symbol and one Multiplier (+1, +2 or +3) Icon are present at the beginning of the Cool reel.
The X-iter bonus is accessible and offers 5 alternatives, as is the case with the bulk of the online games from ELK Studios.
Tropicool 2 is far superior than the Tropicool edition, offering extreme volatility and a maximum exposure of 25,000 times the stake. Nonetheless, at 94%, the RTP continues to be below average.
The possible betting range for each strike is between 0.20 and 100.00 credits.
The Elmo feature doesn't seem to be anything remarkable either, according to my experience, and the bonus buy feature values it at 50 times the usual cost every spin, which is absurd. In conclusion, I can't help but question whether ELK simply added new features to Tropicool 2 for show.
I enjoyed testing this new device just as much as the first Tropicool, however I have a few complaints about it. First off, it can feel like wins accumulate and are cleared from the playfield rather slowly during each game round. Even while a single spin might only produce a very little win, it can occasionally take many minutes.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Turbo Spin option in other games as well because it's entertaining to accelerate things in that way. If you wish to start the bonus round without paying for it, it also saves you time.
Compared to the initial release, this bar's location in Antarctica is much more difficult to discern—at least until you notice the nearby iceberg. Another indication that this is not your typical beach party on a tropical island is the fact that the symbols also land as ice cubes.
