Gold Pile Tigers Pride Review
It's uncertain if this new Jackpot series will replace the existing Jackpot series. Gold Pile: Tigers Pride is only the second game in this series, so only time will tell if this is the case. The Jackpot feature is linked to the golden 5th reel, which is different from the Hold & Spin feature of the other series.
The only real difference from the previous game, is in the bonus round. This is similar to what we've seen before in the other Jackpot series, and we anticipate this new series will follow suit. This benefits those who like consistency, but if you dislike one of these games, you'll likely dislike them all.
Gold Pile: Tigers Pride Features
The wild symbol is a jeweled paw, substituting for all regular symbols to create winning combinations. It also pays 80x your stake for 5 on a payline, much more than the regular pay symbols.
Reel 5 has an ornamented golden frame with gold bars on top. A Gold Meter on the left lets you adjust the "gold percentage" you want to play with. The gold meter increases in increments of 10 % per gold bar added on top of reel 5, which also increases your stake from 1x to 10x.
The higher the gold percentage, the better your chances of landing the special golden symbols on reel 5. Set it to 100 %, and you will only land golden symbols. You will also land the tiger scatter however, and this is not a golden symbol.
If you land 5 symbols in a winning combo, including a golden symbol on reel 5 and a wild symbol, you win either the Mini or Maxi Jackpots. The Mini Jackpot of 40x is won if the 5 matching symbols are low-value royals, while the Maxi jackpot of 160x is won if the 5-of-a-kind combo consists of premium symbols.
If you land a 5-of-a-kind combo with a golden symbol on reel 5, but no wild symbols, you trigger the Grand Chase feature (this can also be triggered by landing 5 wilds on a win line, with a golden wild on reel 5). Reel 1 to 4 will freeze, and you get 3 respins on reel 5. Only golden symbols and Grand symbols will land on reel 5, and the triggering reel position is framed.
Landing a golden symbol in the framed position wins either the Mini or the Maxi Jackpot, based on the triggering win line symbols (royals or premiums). Landing the Grand Jackpot symbol in the framed position wins the fixed Grand Jackpot worth 4,000x your stake.
The bonus round is triggered by landing 3 tiger scatters anywhere on the same spin. You first get an initial scatter win up to 100x for 5 scatters, and then you get 8 free spins. You can also retrigger the feature with 4 or 8 new spins by landing 2 or 3 scatters on a free spin. The Grand Chase feature and the Gold Pile jackpots can be triggered from within the bonus round.
The 200 Spins Gold Pile: Tigers Pride Experience
Not much happened in the base game, so only the bonus round is included in our video. We land some decent wins from the free spins feature, and you can see how it plays out by watching.
Review Summary
Gold Pile: Tigers Pride is similar to the first game in the series, except for the theme and the simpler bonus round. The free spins feature plays out much like the base game, and you're really hoping for the Grand Chase feature. This is how you can win the big jackpot of 4,000x your stake, while regular symbol payouts offer at most 300x for a screen full of the green gemstone gold ring.
This concept is reminiscent of the other Jackpot series. You can expect more titles, where the jackpot concept and math model are similar. The theme will change per game, and there will be different tweaks to the bonus round. This is our prediction, based on our experience with other games.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Mini and Maxi fixed jackpots of 40x and 160x | Pretty similar to the Gold Pile debut, and we expect more of the same |
| Chase the Grand 4,000x jackpot with 3 reel 5 respins | |
| Bonus round with possibility of retriggers |
