Playtech’s Tiger Stacks Slot Review

Tiger Stacks Theme/Symbols

Set in a peaceful Asian valley with temples and tigers in the background, Tiger Stacks is quite a simple slot aesthetically – symbols include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals as well as lanterns, gold ingots and 3 tigers. The darker tiger is the most rewarding symbol with 16.67 times your stake for 5 in combination. There is also a standard wild symbol which appears on all reels bar reel 1 and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter. So far, so standard.

Free Games feature

Look out for the yin-yang symbol as this is the scatter – 3 of them appearing on adjacent reels starting from reel 1 (i.e. reels 1, 2 and 3) will activate the Free Games feature. A screen then appears giving you 3 options:

• 5 free spins with white, orange and black tigers appearing on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 transforming into wilds
• 10 free spins with white and orange tigers appearing on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 transforming into wilds
• 20 free spins with white tigers on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 transforming into wilds

Furthermore, you can retrigger the feature giving you up to 40 free spins in total.

Tiger Jackpots feature

The Tiger Stacks slot comes with a Tiger Jackpots feature – this is played when any tiger symbol covers all 6 positions on reels 1 and 2 and the following:

• Any tiger symbol covers all positions on reel 3 to give you the Minor Jackpot of 16.67 x stake
• Any tiger symbol covers all positions on reels 3 and 4 to award the Major Jackpot of 166.67 x stake
• Any tiger symbol covers all positions on reels 3, 4 and 5 to pay the Grand Jackpot of 1,666.67 x stake

Simple medium variance slot

The Tiger Stacks slot is a simple, Asian themed game which is all about getting stacks of tiger symbols on the reels. The most you can win from the highest value symbol is 200 times your stake so it’s all about winning 1 of the 3 jackpots – if you fill all 5 reels with tiger symbols, you’ll win an impressive 1,666.67 your stake which is decent.

Overall, Tiger Stacks is a decent slot but it’s not something I will be coming back to in future – there’s not enough variety on offer. Online slots featuring tigers like Tiger’s Glory by Quickspin are much better – graphically and win potential.
