Wizard Games has developed a new slot game called Tiger Emperor in celebration of the Chinese New Year. The game gives players a thrilling reel adventure to the Far East in search of big wins. The Tiger Emperor slot has a Chinese theme and draws on the Year of the Tiger, promising wealth and prosperity through rewarding bonus features, cash prizes and jackpots.
The backdrop of the game shows familiar pagoda-style buildings and temples, surrounded by tall mountains. The game’s grid is a standard 5×3 with 50 fixed paylines, decorated with classic Chinese ornaments including lanterns and gold lions, all set amidst blooming sakura trees. The game’s design leans more towards a cartoonish style, with stunning graphics and animations.
The Tiger Emperor slot has a wide betting range of €0.2 to €200 per spin, appealing to both high-rollers and casual gamblers. The volatility is high and the RTP is above average at 96.23%, but note that the payback can lower to 94.06% or 88.06%, depending on the casino. The hit frequency is approximately 1 out of 3 spins.
The paytable includes four low and five high symbols, requiring at least 3 matching symbols to score a win. The Wild symbol is a firecracker, which can substitute for any other regular symbols. The game also features a Tiger Respins feature, triggered by 6 or more tigers appearing anywhere in view, and a Free Spins feature, triggered by 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols appearing anywhere on any base game spin.
Despite its stunning aesthetics and exciting features, Tiger Emperor offers little novelty in terms of design and gameplay. Similar designs and features have been seen in numerous other Asian slots, including Wizard Games’ older Alice Riches slot. Regardless, it is still an enjoyable slot game, especially for fans of the Chinese theme.
