Temple of Paw review

Theme and Style

Temple of Paw slot is an East Asian-themed slot with a focus on the lucky cat figurines with bobbing arms. The slot's background places the action on the grounds of a rural temple with flowing water in the background, and roofs of the temple enclosing the reels.

On the reels themselves, the symbols are red envelopes and gold bags, with some cat-themed bonus symbols and generic card suits. The colors are all green, red, and gold, giving the slot a classic Asian feel despite its cartoonish subject matter.

This slot will appeal to players who like typical Asian-style slots as well as cats.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The slots have a clean cartoon style with 3D elements. There are very few animations apart from the win and spin movements. These are simple and clear.

The soundtrack is equally unobtrusive with simple sounds to punctuated the players' actions and successes.

It all adds up to a pleasant, but not especially memorable experience.

Gameplay

Temple of Paw is a five-reel slot. Each reel has three rows of symbols and there are 20 win lines in total.

A cascade feature keeps things moving. When the player wins, the symbols involved in that win are destroyed and new symbols fall down from above. Any new winning combinations are then calculated and the cascade is repeated if needed.

Every time the cascade is triggered, a multiplier increases and is applied to any subsequent wins. The multiplier resets after the last cascade.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 7,333x of the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols except for the Scatter symbols.

Scatter symbols pay out from anywhere on the reels. Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels also triggers the Free Spin Bonus.

The Bonus starts with seven free spins. The players can then gamble their spins, if they choose to gamble and win, they receive more spins. If they lose, they are returned to the base game.

During the Free Spins Bonus, a multiplier counter ticks up once for every symbol removed during a win. The multiplier doesn't reset until the Bonus is over.

The Bonus can be retriggered, with three spins being added every time the player lands three Scatter symbols.

You can buy directly into the Free Spins Bonus for 100x your bet per spin (5 times your bet per line).
