9 Tigers™

Introducing 9 Tigers™ slot from Wazdan

9 Tigers ™is the latest slot release from Wazdan which plays out over 3-reels and 3-rows and 8 pay lines. The inspiration for the slot is obviously an Oriental one as you will come across the yin and yang symbolism that are depicted as the Water Tiger and the Fire Tiger. From the start the yin and yang will embrace you and you will feel the desire to maintain a peaceful balance. The two tigers are the elements that you can wake, control, and finally bring a natural feeling of peace and harmony. You can benefit from 9 free spins and boost your winnings with the unique gamble feature that is on offer and a maximum win of 1,000x your stake. So, if you are ready let us look at this slot a little closer.

Theme & Design

The slot is set within an ancient temple and this is a classic Chinese themed slot where the task for you is to land three or more matching symbols from left to right and once you have done this it is time to take a look at the pay table to see what you have won. The best thing about combining the water and fire elements, is that you have the power to improve your own Feng-Shui and add to your bankroll.

This slot is immersive and engaging and as it is set within the stunning Chinese gardens that will provide you with an ambience that is calm and positive. The soundtrack is relaxing and will certainly help you to achieve inner peace, however, when the tigers wake, they will be bright and ready to fight. It is these two feelings that will help you to achieve your own a holistic balance.

Game Play

Before you can set your reels spinning you have to set your bets and with the pay lines being fixed you can click on the coin value button and use the +/- to increase or decrease the amount you wish to bet. There is a max bet button which you can click, and this then sets the highest bet amount. Now you are ready to start, just press the spin button to set your reels spinning. There is an auto play function where you can pre-determine the number of spins you want to play and then sit back and watch the game unfold before you.

There is also a free play available which I think is a fantastic feature as it means you can really get to grips with the way the slot plays out without risking any of your own money. The game play is identical apart from the wins which are shown as demo coins, but this is a great way to understand and hone your winning strategy.
Another great feature is that you get the opportunity to choose the level of volatility you want to play before every spin. Finally, there is the button that shows a turtle and a rabbit, and this is the button you can use to decide on the speed you want your reels to spin at.

Features and Bonuses

Despite the low number of pay lines this slot only features two symbols to make the slot more interesting. The first is the Tiger bonus which contains the fire and water symbols. If you are lucky and land a wall of with the Fire Tiger or the Water Tiger this will activate the bonus round and you will be rewarded with 9 spins. Once you have activated the bonus feature the symbols are blocked on your reels.

If you land the opposite tiger symbol on a certain position on your reels the Yin-Yang symbol and when you have completed your 9 spins your wins will be determined by the number of Yin-Yang’s you have collected and you are rewarded with this win accordingly. There is no doubt that the fire and water tigers are the 9 tiger bonus symbols that start the in-game feature. If you combine two opposite sides during a total of 9 tiger free spins and you will find your own inner peace as you will land the fixed jackpot which is 1,000x your stake.

Whilst the Tiger Bonus is in play the tamed tiger must attract the beast of the opposing element to maintain the Yin and Yang. The ancient spirits can be incredibly generous and if you unite the fire and water tigers you will land the highest wins.
Whatever you choose you get the opportunity to play the Unique Gamble feature which will give you a completely new experience. You begin by choosing the Yin or Yang and if you make the right choice you will be rewarded with a multiplier of 2x your stake.
