Play Ride the Tiger for Free

As you load this game up you are greeted by the face of a grinning tiger, with beams of light spinning around behind his head. It’s a dazzling start, and our review team think it’s a great introduction to the Ride the Tiger slots game. Once loaded, the design of the main game doesn’t disappoint either.

The Playtech games developer has certainly put their skills and experience into the Ride the Tiger slot machine. The reels are made to look like they are on an unraveled scroll, set against a backdrop of traditional temples and the Great Wall of China that stretches away into the green-shaded distance.

Alongside the Tiger, you will see golden images of a Tortoise, Fish, Monkey, and Phoenix, which are all classic icons in Asian-themed slots.

Although they could have added a nice Oriental-style soundtrack to compliment the theme, Playtech have given the Ride the Tiger online slot standard fruit machine style noises. We think it’s a bit of a missed opportunity to add to the overall atmosphere, but many players like this sort of soundtrack.

In common with all slots from Playtech, Ride the Tiger has been independently certified for fair play and is licensed in multiple jurisdictions. It’s also mobile optimized for playing on iPhones, iPads, and Android platforms.

All 50 paylines are activated, with just 0.50 needed to start playing the Ride the Tiger slot machine for real cash. High rollers can stake up to 500.00 per spin and there are plenty of options in between these limits to suit any budget.

You also have the option to trigger an Auto function. Hold down the Spin button to open the Autoplay menu and decide how many times you want the reels to spin on their own. You can also choose any win or loss limits that will stop them once reached.

Prizes are won in the standard way, when you see any three or more of the same symbol type stopping on adjacent reels from the left side across a payline. Our reviewers say that there’s nothing complicated about the setup of the Ride the Tiger online slot. It’s a game that will suit casual players as well as experienced gamblers.

If you like games that balance the frequency of payouts with the size of the wins, then you will be pleased to know that the Ride the Tiger slot machine comes with a medium volatility. It has an average payout percentage of 94.13%, which is perfectly reasonable but not outstanding.

Along with the Tortoise, Fish, Monkey, and Phoenix, the playing card icons 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A will be seen.

The Tiger takes pride of place here, with up to 20x your stake paid out when he lands across a payline. This symbol will be stacked several high on a reel, making it easier to complete combinations. The jackpot of 1,000x the stake is won by filling all five reels with the Tiger.

Our review team didn’t manage to land the Ride the Tiger slot’s top prize, but other bonus features are waiting to be triggered. The Yin Yang symbol is wild and acts as all except the scatter symbol if needed to complete combinations. You won’t see it on reel one though, so it can’t make up lines on its own.

The scatter symbol is a bright red ruby and it’s the jewel of the Ride the Tiger slots game. If you see this in any three places at once, you win four times the stake, followed by five free spins.

Only five spins? Yep. That’s not many, but at the end of each bonus spin, a wild symbol is added to reels two, three, four, and five. That means by the end of the five spins, you’ll have stacked wilds across all the reels, apart from reel one on the left side, for multiple winning combinations across the 50 lines.

Thanks to these extra wilds, our Ride the Tiger slot review team didn’t mind that just five free spins are awarded. It’s also possible to retrigger the feature twice more, to a maximum of 15 free spins.

This is just one of an amazing collection of online casino slots from Playtech. Be sure to take a look at the rest of their range below.

Our reviewers found that the Ride the Tiger slots game used stylish graphics, but not necessarily realistic ones. The Jungle Spirit: Call of the Wild slot from NetEnt however, is far more true-to-life.

This stunning-looking slot also happens to be packed from reel to reel with wild animals and bonuses. High-paying animals can expand across reels, while the free spins round lets you choose the volatility before it begins. This is a 243 ways-to-win game that expands the reels during the free spins to give you a huge 1024 ways across them.

If you want to play a similar game with cartoon style graphics, then Blueprint Gaming’s Jungle Jackpot slot could be ideal. Based on The Jungle Book, it’s got much more than the ‘bear’ necessities. Bonuses include Mowgli’s Cash Trail, that can lead to 1,000x the stake, and Baloo’s Cash Bonus, where players can win mystery prizes of up to 500x their total bet.

From our Ride the Tiger slots game review, you will see that we found a well-designed slot that has some great bonus features. The highlight is definitely the free games round with all those extra wilds added in each spin.

Even in the base games, with stacked Tiger symbols and high-paying golden icons, you can still enjoy the medium volatility gameplay. If you’re a fan of the Asian theme, or just like Playtech games, give the Ride the Tiger slot machine a try today.
