Gold Tiger Ascent Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

With a long and rich history to tap into, it should come as no surprise to learn that Asian-inspired slots often benefit from strong narratives and beautiful visual designs. This BetSoft demo slot game, which features a charming kung-fu tiger, has a lot to offer. 

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

Set in an icy Asian landscape, players who are up to the challenge are invited to play alongside a slightly smug-looking tiger. Each of the game’s symbols has been designed to enhance the overall narrative, which provides a deeply immersive playing experience full of interest and intrigue.

The soundtrack, animations and accompanying sound effects further heighten the playing experience. They all suit the theme and don’t seek to distract from the main event.

Gold Tiger Ascent RTP and variance

Betsoft’s Gold Tiger Ascent is a medium variance slot with an RTP (return to player) of 95.37 per cent. This is a slightly below the average RTP, which means it is likely to be less generous than slots with a higher percentage.

How to play Gold Tiger Ascent

1. Start by clicking the ‘i’ icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the reels. This will open the main menu, which contains the paytable, potential win lines, and important information about the game’s bonus features.
2. Upon returning to the main playing screen, you can adjust your stake using the - and + toggle buttons on either side of the central bet box.
3. When you are happy with the figure in the bet box, you can start thinking about spinning the reels. Gold Tiger Ascent benefits from a standard spin mode that allows players to maintain more of a hands-on approach to their gameplay and an autoplay mode that enables players to play at an increased speed with the reels spinning automatically.
4. When you have chosen your preferred spin mode, hitting the associated spin button will set the reels spinning.
5. Any wins will be clearly displayed both on an overlay across the reels and in the win box, which is at the bottom of the screen to the left of the spin buttons.
6. Your overall balance will always be displayed in the box beneath the ‘i’ icon. Be sure to review this figure often, which will help you to avoid going over your upper spend limit.
7. Always avoid chasing losses and stop playing as soon as the fun stops.

Bet sizes & paytable wins

When playing Gold Tiger Ascent, players have the opportunity to place a 0.20 minimum stake and a 150.00 maximum stake. This bet variation is likely to suit the vast majority of players, although high rollers may prefer to seek out a slot that offers a larger maximum stake.

Aside from the red envelope wild symbol, the red coin bag is the highest-paying symbol on the Gold Tiger Ascent paytable. Landing three of a kind in a winning combination will deliver a 50x win.

Gold Tiger Ascent bonus features

Red envelope wild

The wild red envelope symbol can replace all other symbols on the paytable, apart from the magic red envelopes. Wilds can also unlock their own wins, with three of a kind providing players with a 250x win.

Magical red envelopes

During every spin, lucky players could land between three and five red envelope symbols. These deliver instant win balance-boosting prizes, wilds and scatter symbols.

Additionally, landing at least three magic red envelope symbols will trigger the free spins bonus:

3 x magic red envelope = 6 free spins + 50.00 instant payout
4 x magic red envelope = 8 free spins + 100.00 instant payout
5 x magic red envelope = 10 free spins + 200.00 instant payout

During the free spins, between three and nine red envelopes are guaranteed to land on the reels. This feature is also re-triggerable, meaning extra free spins can be unlocked during an existing free spin.

Gold Tiger Ascent review: our verdict

Visually and thematically, Gold Tiger Ascent is on the simpler side; however, at a time when slots are seemingly getting increasingly complex, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Our playing experience didn’t generate many magic red envelopes during the base game spins; however, their guaranteed presence during the free spins can deliver some significant prizes, providing - of course - that you have a healthy dose of luck on your side. High rollers are unlikely to find much to hold their attention here, but new and casual slot game players are likely to be charmed by this sharp-toothed offering from Betsoft. The 2,020x top win also helps - although it isn’t massive, it is almost certainly enough of a draw to spice things up a bit.

Gold Tiger Ascent is just one example of the myriad animal-themed free play slots available here at Slots Temple.
