Prior to hitting the spin button to begin your game, you must first decide on your bet when playing any slot machine. You can choose from a broad range of stakes in Sapphire Tiger, starting at 0.60, which represents a 1x multiplier for any wins, and going all the way up to 450.00, which represents a 750x multiplier. The chosen bet modifier will then be added to any winning combinations.
Since Sapphire Tiger is a multiways pays slot, the amount of winning combinations is based on the number of symbols that appear on the reels, or 3x4x4x4x3=576.
Your selected bet multiplier, which runs from 1x to 750x, is used by all coin winners. When 3, 4, or 5 lower paytable royals appear on successive reels, they pay 15, 40, or 125 coins, while the butterfly, frog, and parrot pay 30, 75, and 250 coins, respectively.
Depending on whether you can spin up 3, 4, or 5 symbols reading right to left or left to right, the South Tiger and Malayan Tiger pay out 50, 1550, and 500 coins, respectively. Depending on whether you land 3, 4, or 5 symbols, the stunning Sapphire Tiger pays 75, 250, or 800 coins.
While the focus of Sapphire Tiger is the free spins round, there is a wild symbol in the form of the game's logo that can be used in place of any other symbols bar the scatter lotus blossom. Thanks to this symbol, especially when the Sapphire Tiger occasionally appears stacked on the reels, we were able to generate numerous winning combos. Only appearing on reels 2, 3, and 4, the wild doesn't pay out any money.
You must get at least five lotus flowers, one on each reel, to activate the free spins. If you succeed, you'll receive six bonus spins.
