Chinese Tigers Slots
Chinese Tigers is a breathtaking slot by the developer Platipus Gaming. This phenomenal slot is played on your standard format of five reels and three rows, and contains 30 pay lines. This game rewards players up to 6,000x your bet, and that includes a free spin bonus along with mystery symbols. I could go on forever about the beautiful design of this slot, but what really makes this slot special is how elegant it looks. It's set in the Chinese jungle, and features several gorgeous tigers along with other traditional Chinese based symbols. This game has three different jackpots you can win too!
Theme and How To Play
There are three different majestic tigers on this game board. There is a white tiger, an orange tiger and a black tiger. There are also other traditional Chinese symbols like lanterns, and gold coins. There are low valued symbols as well, like A, J, Q, K and 9 and 10. The mechanics of the game itself are pretty simple. There is a pay table, and a menu. There is an informal button and you can adjust your line bet using the control panel. You can also adjust your bet. You can auto spin or manual spin. You can also turn Turbo Mode on or off. The wagers on this board start with 0.01 per line, or as much as 1.00 per line. That means the overall total wager minimum is 0.30 and the maximum is 30.00 credits per spin. The top prize for the highest paying symbol is 200x and is awarded when you land five orange tiger symbols. The white tiger is the second highest, paying out 120x your bet, and the black tiger is the third and it pays out 100x your bet. The coin symbols and Chinese lanterns both pay 60x while the letters and numbers pay 45x to 30x for a match of five.
Bonus Features
Chinese Tigers have two bonus features. One of them is free spins, and the other is the jackpot. We'll discuss the free spins first! If you land three or more scatter symbols in a position you'll trigger the free spins rounds. The scatter symbols are the Yin Yang symbols. During this round, you can choose between three different modes. Each tiger will be able to transform into wilds on reels two, three, four and five. If you choose the first mode, you'll receive 20x free spins along with the black tigers being the special symbol that can transform into wilds. The second option is 10x free spins with the black and white tigers both being able to transform into wilds, and the last option is 5x free spins and all tigers can transform into wilds. I thought this was a fun, creative twist on the traditional free spins round, so I appreciated it. The jackpot is available in the base game, and to win the jackpot you'll need to land a plethora of tiger symbols on at least three reels. Each jackpot has its own value, which can be checked at the top of the reel while you're playing.
Summary
Animal themed games oftentimes bore me, as I'm a picker player who prefers the magic of mythology, or history usually, but Chinese Tigers is something special. It's gorgeous and otherworldly in a way, I wouldn't associate it with traditional animal-based slots, though I think players who like animal slots would also enjoy this game. If the tiger is your lucky animal, give this amazing game a shot - the bonus features and wide betting range makes it all the more worthwhile.
