Tiger's Claw Introduction
The first thing to say about Tiger's Claw by BetSoft is that it is one of the most stunning pokies out there, with a fabulous backdrop of snowy mountains in the mysterious moonlight dwarfing the Shaman’s tent. The reels are filled with symbols associated with his powerful and mystical world, including a tiger, an eagle and the Shaman himself.
The detail is superb, with a soundtrack that adds to the sense of total immersion in this fantasy world. The tiger is the highest-paying symbol, rewarding the player with 1,000 coins for five symbols on a winning payline. The eagle pays 400 coins, and the mask pays 300 coins. The Shaman carries a multiplier prize of 50x your wager for five symbols, with the potential for a big payout depending on whether you’re a casual player or a high roller.
Choose coin sizes from 0.01 to 1.0, then set the bet level from 1 to 5 for a maximum wager of 250 coins per spin. Hit the Max Bet button to spin at the maximum bet, and hit Double Up to gamble any win. You can also set autoplay options from the user-friendly controls and view the paytable by clicking on the question mark. Wins are paid from left to right and right to left, with the longest combinations of symbols paying out.
Into the wild
The mountain top symbol is the wild in Tiger's Claw and will substitute for every other symbol to produce winning combinations, except for the wild and the scatter. The wild symbol only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. The Shaman scatter rewards a win whenever three or more appear anywhere on the reels. Three symbols deliver a 2x multiplier, and four symbols reward you with 10x your total bet.
Land five, and there’s that huge 50x multiplier to look forward to.
The tiger's paw
There are no claws out in this game. Instead, the symbol you’ll want to land is the tiger’s paw that holds a mystical blue orb. Land a combination of five free spins symbols on your reels to enjoy a reward of eight free spins and a 1x multiplier. These free spins can be retriggered to a potential 96 free spins in a single bonus all the way up to 240 free spins in a single game.
If the reels fall for you, this is an incredibly lucrative bonus, but it will only trigger if you land a free spins symbol on every reel.
Take a gamble
Whenever you land a win in Tiger's Claw, you’ll have the option to hit the Double Up button and gamble your winnings. A new screen will appear with two options, Heads or Tails. You’ll have the option to gamble 100 per cent or 50 per cent of your winnings on the toss of a coin. Used with discretion, this can be a very lucrative feature, particularly since it comes into play whenever you spin a win.
