Review of Tiger's Glory
Play on the above average sized 6-reel setup and enjoy payouts in 4,096 ways. Three or more matching symbols need only be in on an adjacent reel, running from the leftmost reel to the right, to reap rewards. Bet anywhere from 0.20 to 100 coins to enjoy spins on this machine, but tread lightly, as the variance of this game is designed for higher rolling gaming veterans. These players are adept at practising good bankroll management, or who have ample cash to feed the machine with while in wait for the massive wins available in the free spin bonus round.
The epic free spins and sticky wilds will work this slot for you and you’ll hopefully be able to catch a glimpse of the favour held by the 96.51% return to player rating.
Theme, Soundtrack, and Symbols
The reels are mounted to the walls of the Roman Coliseum, whose circular stature dominates the landscape behind the reel set. The dusty colours tell of the hue of dirt which has been spat up in the heat of ravaging battle. Ancient Rome used to revel in human suffering in the name of entertainment; often subjecting slaves to warrior-like battle games, where they were pitted up against one another to the death. In some instances, the fight would be against wild beasts, such as in this case of this slot game, where the battle rages on between Tiger and Warrior.
The dramatic soundtrack provided by a string orchestra and bass drums draws you in as if you are watching an epic saga. The sounds play on the emotion of it all and if you have a vivid imagination, you will be able to escape your mundane day to day life you live in and take a trip to the ancient paths.
The graphics are decent, which is what we have come to expect from Quickspin, with each premium game symbol aptly able to tell the tale of the viciousness of mortal combat. Fortunately, a Tiger victory in this game heaps favour on your bankroll.
The game symbols include premium high symbols, consisting of a Tiger (who turns enraged in the main feature), and four unique gladiator characters with different colour backgrounds, of dark blue, light blue, purple, and green. The lowest of these symbols pays from as little as 0.75x to a maximum of 10x, depending on the symbol landed.
The lower value symbols are made up of generic card deck icons, (9, 10, J, Q. K, and A) and pay out between 0.25x for the lowest win and 3x for the highest value symbol matched 5 times.
There are two special symbols available in the game. These include:
- A shield and sword scatter symbol, which is a contributor towards triggering the main game feature if landed in multiples of three or more.
- A big red WILD icon makes its appearance in the free spin round and will substitute for all symbols except the scatter and the enraged tiger symbols.
Special Features
The trick to a great slot game is a keen balance of all the igaming aspects. This will keep players coming back for more on a regular basis and sustains a game for more than just a few months of popularity. This balance is brought home through the presence of good graphics, engaging sounds, and a generous bonus feature or two. This Quickspin slot ticks all of these boxes and although there is only one bonus game in this title, it comes with manifold features within it, to ramp up the wins.
To trigger the feature, you will need to land several bonus scatter symbols on the reels. The number of trigger symbols landed will equate to the number of free spins awarded.
- 3 bonus scatters will reward you with 7 free spins
- 4 bonus scatters will reward you with 10 free spins
- 5 bonus scatters will reward you with 15 free spins
- 6 bonus scatters will reward you with 20 free spins
The Enraged Tiger symbol is unique to this round. When it appears on the screen, an animated battle between man and beast will take place before your eyes. Should the Tiger be victorious, it will turn into a sticky red wild symbol on the reels, which will lock in place for the rest of the feature to help create more wins for you. The first Enraged Tiger to land on each reel will add an extra spin into the mix. Because there are 6 reels, you will have an opportunity of adding an extra 6 free spins into the mix.
What is more, the Tiger symbol pays as a scatter in the free spin bonus game. This means that the symbols needn’t land on the leftmost reel to form a combo, nor do they have to be in consecutive adjacent reels to make the match. As long as they land in at least three different columns, the cash will be won.
Jackpots
The Tiger symbol is the highest value symbol. In the base game, a combination of 6 of these icons will pay a jackpot of 10x.Â
The win magic is locked up in the free spin round. With all of the added sticky wild and up to 26 free spins, you could walk away with up to 12,000x your stake. It is for this reason that veteran slot players will continue to feed this highly volatile slot, as the payoff could be a massive return.
Game Verdict
As stated in the beginning, this game needs to be played carefully, as it is highly volatile. Practice good bankroll and wagering management, alternating between high and low bets in hopes of triggering the feature on a high roll.
The feature filled free spin round is an abounding treasure trove at times and is usually worth the wait and the endurance of an often-stingy base game. For more Roman gladiator fun, be sure to try Gladiator by Playtech, which is based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name, or you could give Glorious Empire by NextGen a flutter, too.
