Jade Tiger Introduction
This is a standard 30-payline, five-reel game that boasts a few interesting bonus features and pretty slick graphics. The higher-scoring symbols have been inspired by sacred Chinese artefacts and animals including a tiger, an ornamental pot, the stone jade, a hulusi (golden flute), a fortune cookie, koi carp and golden turtle.
The lower-scoring symbols are represented by the playing card numbers and letters 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. A jade shade of green features heavily in this game and is used for the reel background, whilst the general background is a darker shade of green with a floral pattern. The major complementing colour is gold, giving the game a luxurious and opulent look.
The music and sounds have certainly been inspired by the East and help set the tone of the game.
How to make a wager
Players can wager from $0.01 to $100 on anywhere from 1 to 30 lines. That makes your Max Bet $3,000! Simply press the settings button to choose your number of paylines and bet value, then return to the reels and spin to win. Whenever you want to increase or decrease either your bet value or paylines, simply click on the settings again.
Wilds and Scatters
The majestic tiger represents your Wild symbol, and it will substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter. The scatter is depicted by a stunning piece of jade; get three of them and the bonus feature will be triggered. During the bonus feature, players will receive ten free spins in a totally new, red reel grid. During this feature, a new symbol - the Stacked Jade - appears, along with the Lucky Boy Scatter symbol on reels 3 and 5.
When this new scatter appears more than once on a given spin, the Lucky Feature will play. During the Lucky Feature, reels 1 and 5 are held and filled with Tiger Wilds for one tremendous bonus spin.
