Lucky Tiger Free Play in Demo Mode

Lucky Tiger review

Theme and Style

Pragmatic Play has whisked players off on a Far-Eastern adventure in the vibrant zodiac-themed Lucky Tiger.

Fortune cats, golden frogs, and other Chinese paraphernalia light up the reels with the promise of big wins available while following the tiger around the ancient city.

This is the original incarnation of the popular Lucky Tiger series, and it is quite adorable at first glance.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack used for Lucky Tiger is quite catchy and energetic with its traditional Chinese undertones that can be heard in many similar titles.

With its upbeat tone, this is bound to keep players engaged during the slot.

Well-optimized for mobile devices, Pragmatic Play has chosen a red, gold, and green color palette. The slightly chubby tiger stands to the side of the decadent reels, but it is more cute than a snarling predator.

The background portrays a traditional temple, while other pagoda buildings flank the screen, adding some depth to the title.

Overall, the graphics and soundtrack gel nicely, and they should resonate with players.

Gameplay

Lucky Tiger comprises a 3x3 reel setup, and there are just 5 paylines in this slot.

Wins can be formulated by matching at least 3 symbols across a payline in adjacent reels from left to right.

The scrolls and drums are among the lower-paying symbols, while the Maneki-Neko statue is the most sought-after. Landing 3 of these could pay up to 20x the total bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The tiger represents the Wild in Lucky Tiger, substituting for all other regular-paying symbols on the board. Landing 3 Wilds on a payline equates to a win worth 50x the total bet.

Multipliers also come into play in Lucky Tiger. Filling an entire screen with the same symbol in the base game results in winning combinations multiplied by a random multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x, or 25x.

However, the Respins Feature does much of the heavy lifting in Lucky Tiger. On any given spin, the Respin Feature can be triggered. When this happens, a random paying symbol is selected, and the reels will spin with either the assigned symbol, Wilds, or blanks.

Once these are locked, they stay in place for the remainder of the round. Respins continue until no new matching symbols hit, and if you fill the entire screen, a random multiplier of up to 25x kicks in.

The maximum win available for Lucky Tiger stands at 2,500x the total bet.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

Lucky Tiger carries a return to player (RTP) of 96.50%, soaring above the industry-expected average of 96%.

The range of bets permitted for this game starts from a minimum of $/£/€0.05 per spin, going up to a maximum of $/£/€250 per spin.

Lucky Tiger, however, is categorized as medium volatility, meaning wins are more finely balanced. However, our preferred slot machine strategies target highly volatile games, meaning this slot falls short.

Conclusion

We think the Asian-themed, medium-volatility Lucky Tiger is worth exploring further.

It is rather cutesy, and its uncomplicated gaming mechanics make it an attractive proposition.

Throw into the mix a vibrant soundtrack as well as a fun Respins Feature, and this should keep players engrossed.
