Okaaay...with Tiger's Eye, we are looking at another oldie from MG. Overall, the game does look better than Adventure Palace, simply because of slightly higher graphics quality, with attempts at 3D presentations in 2D format. I like the purplish Wilds, especially when appearing fully stacked in many reels. Makes you wanna play the game, doesn't it? A sneaky cunning ploy to grab your attention and make you play...but it works...damn! Hehehe.
I like to do quickies, but only for game reviews...for other things, I like them slow and steady...but fast when ready, hahaha. Errmmph...like I was saying...the Tiger's Eye, the Wild symbol, pays 1,000x line bet for 5 of them on a payline...no good. Wilds are stacked on every reel...very good. Wild doesn't double any wins...no good. No Expanding Wilds...are you crazy?...they are already stacked on all reels... oh... okay...pass! 5 scatters pay 200x total bet...good. Other win values...not so good. Free spins game gives 10 spins with increasing win multiplier up to 10x...very good! Free spins cannot be retriggered...damn...no good...just can't have them all.
The first thing that surprised me was the 40 paylines for a 5-reels 3-rows game, with stacked Wilds on all reels. The thing with stacked Wilds is...if they appear on all 5 reels, fully stacked, on 40 paylines...what a huge payout that could give! No wonder 5 Wilds pay only 1000x the line bet. Even so, if you do get all of them on 40 paylines, that would pay a hefty 40,000x line bet...very good...but damn difficult to get!
I like the fact that the free spins game, at the right time, do come at quite close intervals from one another. I've had more than 6 free spins games within a 1000-spins window, but most of them were empty spins...or gave wins at low win multipliers. Typically, wins were around the 20x total bet amount.

DISLIKED
When we have high expectations from a game, like for this Tiger's Eye game for example, things can really turn very sour when nothing big happens. The Wilds do come very often in the base game, singly or stacked, but because of the low win values for most of the symbols in play, the payout amount usually does not meet expectations! 20x total bet wins were fairly common, big wins of 200x total bet or more, very rare. Hence, good big wins could only be achieved in the free spins game at 10x win multiplier. Easier said than achieved. Nonetheless, Tiger's Eye has good potentials for decent big wins. Another MG game that gets green stars from me.
