Tiger Emperor Review

With the Tiger Emperor slot, developer Wizard Games celebrates Chinese New Year and invites players on an exciting reel adventure to the Far East in search of big wins. As it's the year of the Tiger, those gorgeous beasts will bring you wealth and prosperity by triggering rewarding bonus features with massive cash prizes and jackpots.

Tiger Emperor - Slot Outlook

Much like any other Chinese-themed slot, Tiger Emperor shows little new when it comes to its design. The backdrop showcases familiar pagoda-style buildings and temples, sitting amidst majestic tall mountains. In the center is a standard 5x3 grid with 50 fixed paylines, decorated with classic Chinese ornaments including lanterns and gold lions, surrounded by blooming sakura trees. A pretty sight indeed, albeit not that original. Wizard Games has gone for a more cartoonish style than a realistic one, and they did pretty well considering both the graphics and animations look stunning. Overall, Tiger Emperor offers perfect Asian slot aesthetics in terms of the outer look, and a piece of enigmatic Chinese music adds a final touch to the vibe.

The Tiger Emperor slot comes with quite a wide betting range of €0.2 to €200 per spin, which should certainly appeal to both high-rollers and casual gamblers.

The paytable in the Tiger Emperor slot includes four low and five high symbols, and you need to land at least 3 matching symbols on the reels starting from the leftmost to score a win. The lower section comprises classic A-J royals, and the premium lot includes in ascending order lotus flowers, fans, lanterns, drums, and coins. 5-of-a-kind low symbol wins pay 1x the bet, and higher value symbols are worth from 2x to 5x the bet.

Tiger Emperor - Bonus Features

True to the title, Tiger Emperor revolves around tigers, and those act as bonus symbols and trigger the Tiger Respins feature whenever 6 or more appear anywhere in view. That will award 6 Respins, plus 1 additional Respin for each extra triggering symbol. Then, the triggering symbols will lock in place and players will proceed to a new reel set consisting of blanks and bonus symbols, and all new tiger symbols that appear during the feature also get locked for the remaining Respins.

During the bonus game, adjacent bonus symbols form groups, and players will receive rewards depending on the group sizes at the end of the feature - when all symbol positions are filled or the players run out of Respins. Additionally, Super Bonus Prizes become available for each group bigger than 2x2 in size, which can be awarded randomly on a par with regular bet multiplier prizes.

There's also a Free Spins feature included in the Tiger Emperor slot, which is triggered when 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view on any base game spin, awarding 8, 12, and 15 free games respectively. It operates in a similar way to the base game, but the major difference is that only Scatter and Wild symbols can appear on reel 3 during the feature. Free Spins can be triggered, as well as players can access the Tiger Respins by landing 6 or more bonus symbols, after which the remaining free spins will continue.

Tiger Emperor - Slot Verdict

All said and done, Tiger Emperor is a lovely slot, and it's surely going to appeal to those really into the Chinese thing. Yet still, it has hardly anything new to offer both design and gameplay-wise.

Pros

• Great Chinese art work
• Exciting Respins with decent rewards and jackpots

Cons

• RTG ranges
• Reskin of the Alice Riches slot
