Fat Panda and Pragmatic Play Team Up in Lucky Tiger Gold

While Pragmatic Play has an in-house production team, it also works with smaller studios to bolster its portfolio. Lucky Tiger Gold is a game from one such partnership, leveraging Pragmatic Play’s technology and Fat Panda’s talent. The result is a game that feels familiar to fans of this software provider but offers slightly different features.

How does this game stack up with the rest of Pragmatic Play’s portfolio? Find out if this is a game you’ll enjoy by reading our in-depth review of Lucky Tiger Gold.

Lucky Tiger Gold Visuals

Fat Panda is a mobile-first developer, which is something you immediately see in this game. The slot is designed for portrait mode on phones, so all the details went into the arch and what you see on the reels. All the details you wouldn’t see on mobile, such as the garden and the nearby temple, are blurred. As a result, your attention stays on the reels and phone users don’t feel like they’re missing out.

Symbol designs in this Pragmatic Play game include Asian-inspired icons such as scrolls, frog and cat statues, and more. The Tiger plays the role of Wild, while a golden coin is the bonus symbol.

Lucky Tiger Gold Gameplay and Features

You play Lucky Tiger Gold on a 3×3 grid with 5 fixed paylines. To win, you need three matching symbols to land on an active payline. If you form a full-screen win with one symbol, it receives a random multiplier up to 100x.

Re-Spin Feature

Every spin has a chance to trigger the Re-spin feature. Before the round starts, the game randomly selects a symbol and a multiplier. While it is active, only the chosen symbol, coin icons, and blank spaces can appear on the reels. When a new symbol or coin lands on the grid, a new re-spin is played.

Coin symbols can appear in all positions. They can randomly award one of three bonus effects:

• Extra Life – Adds an extra life to the pool, extending the Re-spin feature.
• Multiplier Upgrade – Upgrades the random multiplier awarded at the start of the bonus round. It can be increased up to 1,000x.
• Symbol Upgraded – The randomly selected paying symbol is improved to the next most valuable icon.

The Re-spin feature ends when no more random symbols or coin icons appear, and you run out of extra lives. It can also end if all positions are filled with the chosen symbol and coin icons.

Lucky Tiger Gold RTP and Payouts

The RTP for Lucky Tiger Gold is 96.50%. This is much better than average, though we’d expect nothing less from a Pragmatic Play slot. The game is highly volatile and has a 25,000x top prize.
