Tiger's Claw Slots
Tiger's Claw Slots is a wonderful game that's a little overly complex but we appreciate their attempts at innovation. Since we complain a lot about most slots being the same, we're not going to fault them for that here. It looks great and plays fine, so long as you know it's a little more involved than your average game. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that they'd taken a little more time to fine tune the matching mechanics given the different state of the reels. That said, we recommend it wholeheartedly. Skip the review and support a game that tried doing something different. Even if you don't like it, you'll at least support slots not all being the same!
Premise
The premise of Tiger's Claw Slots is really, really pretty tigers. And eagles. And their claws. We're not sure how they picked what made the cut here, but there are very pretty animals going on with this game and it's all very pretty. When the tiger claws are near the faces it can look kind of daunting, but other than that, it's a fun theme.
Presentation
Graphics in Tiger's Claw Slots are great, albeit a little over done. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. Everything looks so saturated and mighty that we wonder if it isn't a bit much, but it's fun, so we won't fault them for it. We're not sure how tigers can shoot fire balls from their claws or whatever's going on there, but Goku does weirder things in Dragon Ball and we love him, so we're cool with it.
Mechanics
Gameplay in Tiger's Claw Slots is very innovative. At 5 reels and 9 pay lines, it does not break the mold there, chosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect. Elsewhere, however, it arranges the reels in novel ways that make for a unique experience that can take some getting used to.
Betting here ranges from a penny to fifty of them, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out low, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review.
The bonus round is called the Double Up Feature, which given the novel arrangement of the reels, is authentically fun and inventive. We just wish it was more refined.

Who is the Game NOT For?
Although we enjoy this slot, it is not for everybody. In particular, it may not be your cup of tea if this describes you in any fashion:
* Averse to winning money online * Looking for something truly innovative in the genre * You find the theme in any way offputting
Is it Buggy?
In the time we spent playing this game, we did not encounter any bugs, problems, or errors. The same cannot be said for all slots of this genre, so we commend the developers for a job well done on that. We also encountered no issues in processing winnings or payments, and everything ran very smooth just like you would expect across many varied devices in a variety of ecosystems and operating systems.
Conclusion
Tiger's Claw Slots is a bunch of great ideas that came together only well enough to be pretty good. We love the reel layout, the attempts at innovation, and the graphics. We don't think they took the time to refine all of that to be truly great, however, as it can at times feel over done or like an afterthought. Still, it's an experience not like many slots on the market. For that reason, you owe it to us to support it. Pretty please? Give it a try! You'll win money. Or lose some. One of the two, we promise!
