Year of the Tiger from Spinomenal
A couple of weeks ago, people in Asia, as well as numerous Chinatowns across the world, celebrated the Chinese New Year, the year of Ren Yin, or Water Tiger, according to the Asian Zodiac. To celebrate this event, our favorite provider Spinomenal released a not overly sophisticated, but still a very well-made video slot called Year of the Tiger with 5 reels and 100 paylines.
The game will take you to the picturesque mountain valley somewhere in the Tiger Leaping Gorge in the Yulong Xaxi county, where you will meet the magnificent predator and get a chance to win up to a staggering 2 million mBTC, should you be lucky enough to hit the maximum multiplier of 2,000 times the total stake of 1,000 mBTC, the highest betting option - the lowest is 0.1 mBTC. Year of the Tiger has a standard selection of two special symbols: the substituting Wild (the tiger) and a Scatter that pays from any position.
Colossal Cash Zone from Pragmatic Play
The following slot, kindly provided to 1xBit by Pragmatic Play, can be characterized as a classic game with a twist. Here you will see the familiar fruits, bells, and lucky sevens, all appearing on a green honeycomb background, though the present 5 reels are divided into two sections - three center reels where colossal symbols may appear, hence the name Colossal Cash Zone, and two adjacent reels that facilitate the formation of better winning combinations.
The slot is presented in the classic format of 5 reels and 20 paylines, with a standard RTP of 96.5% and a high variance. Given its name, Colossal Cash Zone is a rewarding slot as the highest possible win stands at 500,000 mBTC. The betting range goes from 0.2 mBTC to 100 mBTC. Colossal symbols come as the game’s central feature; they appear in the form of clusters on central reels during both base game and free spins. There are also the usual substituting Wild, the Bonus symbol that triggers free spins, and the Cash Zone symbol that gives multipliers of up to 250 times the total stake.
Hot Wild Pepper from Belatra Games
The last slot in this week’s selection is a spicier version of a classic fruit-themed slot, developed by an up-and-coming company Belatra Games. Like most fruity slots, Hot Wild Pepper has simplistic visuals and a standard format of 5 reels and 100 paylines. The presence of chili pepper Wilds and the jackpot wheel of fortune features are the only things that separate Hot Wild Pepper from the many games of the same genre. It’s the least rewarding slot of the three since the betting range here is capped at 50 mBTC, while the maximum multiplier is a good but not mind-blowing 3,000 times the total stake. The Wilds are capable of expanding onto an entire reel if they partake in the winning combo; stars and bells are Scatter symbols that provide additional multipliers and trigger the wheel of fortune game.
Our verdict
This selection is for those who appreciate simplicity and generosity over visual refinement and an abundance of special features. Colossal Cash Zone is, obviously, the appealing slot of the three, due to its good bet-to-reward ratio, which earns it the title of the slot of the week.
