If you thought that Moon Tiger was themed after the famous novel by Penelope Lively, I have to disappoint you. The novel that won the Booker Prize in 1987 is yet to get its pokie version. Also, I will not mention those green mosquito coils I use during the summer (also called Moon Tiger).
The story depicted in the Endorphina product will take you to one of the breathtaking beaches on the Chinese coast. The action takes place at night and you will enjoy the sounds of crickets and calming music in the background. So, try not to fall asleep.
The white tiger will be your protector in the 2024 release. It also acts as a Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. The golden boat is the top-paying regular symbol, followed by gold coins, firecrackers, and paper fans.
Playing cards are used for low-value symbols. The tiger’s paw, made from gold and diamonds, represents the Scatter that triggers free games. The full moon is the Scatter that triggers the Bonus game.
You will have no trouble learning the rules of the game. Moon Tiger is played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed paylines. The 2014 release pays left to right, beginning from the far-left reel. You need at least 3 matching symbols on a payline to win a payout.
Betting is fixed at 25 coins per spin. Set the bet somewhere between $0.25 and $175 and you are ready to go. The white tiger and the golden boat pay the most, offering 10x the bet for 5-of-a-kind. The maximum payout is set at 1,000x the bet. Moon Tiger has an RTP of 96.09%.
Like every Chinese legend, Moon Tiger offers a lot of action. I promise you that the pokie will rarely be boring. You will enjoy plenty of Stacked Wilds, both in the base game and during free games.
Free games will also please you, despite the fact that you get only 5 of them when you trigger the feature. The Full Moon Bonus Game is also quite rewarding, even though it is hard to land the Ultra Jackpot of 1,000x.
White tiger appears on every reel both during free games and in the base game. It tends to land in stacks, thus helping you land wins more easily. In my case, I had plenty of fun with the white tiger Wild. It helped me land the biggest win in the base game, 25x.
With 3 tiger paw Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5, you get 5 free games with big symbols. These are 3×3 colossal symbols that appear on the 3 central reels. During free games, you can retrigger the feature only when you land a colossal Scatter on the three middle reels. This will get you 3 freebies.
I triggered the feature 7 times in total. Never managed to retrigger the feature. Nevertheless, I am quite satisfied with free games. All my total wins were between 16x and 60x. Not bad, eh?
The Full Moon Bonus game is a classic Hold and Win feature. Full moon Scatters land everywhere on the reels, carrying certain values. If you land 6+ of them, you trigger the Bonus. Another way to trigger the Bonus Game is by landing the colossal full moon Scatter during free games.
The triggering Scatters remain in their positions and you get 3 respins. When you land a new Scatter, respins reset to 3. The feature is over once you use all respins, or when you fill all the cells with moon Scatters, whichever comes first.
Scatters carry values between 1x and 20x. Some will bring 1 of 3 jackpots – MIN (30x), MID (50x), MAX (100x). If you fill all the cells with Scatters, you get the Ultra Jackpot of 1,000x. I triggered the feature 4 times and my total wins spanned between 35x and 50x. I never got any jackpots.
The Risk feature is available after every winning spin. Just try to beat the dealer by revealing a higher card and you will double your win. I usually use this feature when my base game win is lower and try to boost it.
Moon Tiger is a very good pokie machine that may keep you occupied for a long time. It is rich with additional features.
The best part of the story is that it does not take you much to trigger the features. The payouts are not that high. However, I was very satisfied with my total win.
The Endorphina product looks and sounds fantastic. The reels run as smoothly as possible and the game is played without any hiccups.
I love both the Free Games feature and the Full Moon Bonus game. I am positive that you will enjoy Moon Tiger as much as I did. I rate it 8.6.
