Tiger's Claw from Betsoft Gaming: Slot Review - a land of beauty and riches

Fantasy-based slots are very popular with slots players as they invite you to venture into magical realms and strange places where anything is possible. This latest slot release from software studio Betsoft Gaming falls into that category as it transports players to a mystical land covered in snowswept mountains and ruled by an all-powerful shaman. So wrap up very warmly and join us as we go on an epic quest to seek out the shaman in order to find the legendary Tiger Claw and hopefully land a big payout in the process!

Tiger's Claw is a 5 reel slot with 720 ways to win and includes Free Spins, Scatter Multipliers, and a Double Up bonus game.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that the game features a strange 3-4-5-4-3 reel layout and a massive 720 ways to win. Wins are created when you land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels and this slot pays out from left to right as well as right to left.

The Wild symbol in the game is represented by an image of a tall snow-covered mountain and substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter and Free Spins symbols to help form winning combinations. This symbol only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the game. The Scatter symbol is depicted by a picture of the powerful Shaman and if you manage to land 3 of these symbols then you will receive a nice 2X reward. Land 4 Scatters to receive a 10X payout but if your luck is in and you happen to land 5 then you will receive a spectacular 50X your total bet!

The Free Spins symbol is illustrated by the tiger’s claw holding a magical blue orb. Land 5 of these symbols anywhere on the reels and you will trigger the Free Spins bonus game. In this feature, you will be given 8 Free Spins plus a 1X multiplier prize and every time you land 5 more Free Spins symbols you will receive 8 more Free Spins and a 1X multiplier. It is actually possible to earn up to 96 Free Spins on a single spin! Another pleasing aspect of this feature is that you can retrigger Free Spins up to a maximum of 240 Free Spins in a single game.

The final feature to discuss is the Double Up game and this is an optional bonus game which is triggered whenever you form a win on the reels. In this risky but fun feature, players can gamble half or all of their winnings by choosing the heads or tails of a rotating coin. You can gamble as many times as you wish but be very careful as if you pick the wrong side of the coin at any time then you will lose all your current winnings and be taken back to the main game.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

Tiger’s Claw features a highly polished presentation full of slick visuals and graphics. The game is set on a snow-covered mountaintop with the northern lights visible in the background, rolling clouds, and if you look very closely you will see shooting stars whizzing by on a beautifully lit purple night sky. Symbols are wonderfully designed and consist of a White Tiger, a Shaman, a bunch of Golden Statues, an Eagle, a Drum, a Rock, and some Gemstones. The animations are crisp as symbols move up and down the reels rapidly and glow nicely when part of a winning combination on the reels.

The music is atmospheric with lots of strange shaman chants thrown in for good measure. It complements the mystical theme of the game nicely.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 720 ways to win, a reasonable RTP of 95.16%, and a maximum payout worth 3,200X your wager.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.

Our Verdict on Tiger's Claw

This slot is produced by leading software developer Betsoft Gaming and is really fun to play. It is superbly designed, super easy to get into, and contains a nice range of bonus features to keep the action ticking over nicely. The Free Spins feature can take some time to trigger but the rewards are definitely worth sticking around for as you can get up to 240 Free Spins plus 1X multipliers. I also liked playing the Double Up bonus game although I recommend if you go on a hot streak in this feature then press the “Collect” button as soon as possible! On top of all of this, there is also a spectacular maximum payout worth 3,200X your bet for players to have a go at. I found this slot to be of High variance so it will take you a bit of time before you start making a profitable return on the reels.
