Game Overview
While the Western world has luck-themed symbols, such as the Horseshoe, Four Leaf Clover, and the Wishbone, in China, there are a ton of them that people believe will bring good fortune. Off the top of my head, Dragons, Red Envelopes, Lucky Coins, the Maeki Cat, the Laughing Buddha, Wealth Pots, and even Bats are considered lucky. Until now, though, I never knew that Toads were thought of that way, so I guess you learn something new every day. As you’ve probably guessed by now, the toad is the core theme of Hacksaw Gaming’s Tai the Toad slot, a 5-reel game with 19 paylines, a 7,500x maximum win, and an RTP of 96.30%.
Before we get too excited about what Tai The Toad has to offer, I should let you all know that it is essentially a clone of the developer’s Magic Piggy slot. I can only imagine this slot is being designed to appeal to players in Asian iGaming markets. If you haven’t played that slot, let me tell you about the features it shares with Tai the Toad. There are cash prizes of up to 1,000x that can land as standard, but these values can be increased by up to 5x if Gold Cain bags land as part of the Toad and the Pot feature. You’ll also come across two variations of a free spins bonus. Both have a meter above the reels that increases when Dragon symbols land, and when Prosperity Pots hit, those points are converted into Toad reveal symbols on the reels. The difference with the Super Toad Bonus is that the meter does not reset back to zero.
Read up on what this game has to offer and all of its inclusive features in this complete Tai the Toad review. Alternatively, if you want to see them first-hand, take a look at the free demo below.
Tai The Toad Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The Toad, at least in the Western world, is not the most fashionable of creatures, so it’s no surprise to learn they’re rarely used as a slot theme. I did come across Mr Toad Gold Megaways; however, a slot from another clone specialist, Pragmatic Play, that, in all honesty, is barely worth a look. It is a Megaways slot, though, so perhaps some of you will enjoy what it offers purely based on its huge number of ways to win, which reaches up to 117,649.
In terms of the payouts on Tai the Toad, these are the same as you’ll come across when playing the Magic Piggy slot – although the symbols themselves have changed. The Wild symbol, which also steps in to replicate all regular symbols, shares the top payout with the Wealth Pot, and both pay 30x the stake for a five-symbol combination. The Samurai Mask is worth up to 25x, the Scroll can produce payouts of up to 20x, and the Ornament and Fruits return a maximum of 15x and 10x, respectively. The Ace, King, and Queen pay 2x the stake for five in a row, and the Jack and Ten complete pays section with a max return of 1x for a winning combo of five.
Just as with the vital statistics listed in the opening paragraph, the betting range available in Tai the Toad is eerily familiar! You can choose to bet from a minimum of €0.10 up to a maximum of €100.00 per spin.
Tai The Toad Slot Base Game & Modifiers
There are 19 fixed paylines across the 5-reel and 5-row reel matrix of the Tai the Toad slot, and you’ll scoop payouts when three or more matching symbols line up across them. Those winning combinations must start on reel 1 and move across a payline on consecutive reels to the right.
The Toad & The Pot
Whenever Toad symbols land on the same spin as the Prosperity Pot, they reveal matching Wild symbols or Gold Coins. The latter land with cash prizes as a multiplier of the stake of between 1x to 1,000x, and the values of each are added together at the end of the spin before they’re paid out.
When those coins land as part of this feature, there is a chance that a Gold Coin Bag can land among them. These will multiply the value of up to 5 coin symbols by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.
Tai The Toad Slot Bonus Features
There are two variations of a free spins bonus on the Tai The Toad slot, the first of which requires three scatter symbols anywhere in view and the second of which requires four.
Regular Toad Free Spins Feature
If the regular free spins bonus triggers, you receive 10 free spins. Above each reel are meters that increase whenever Dragon or Double Dragon symbols land. The Dragon adds between 1 and points to the meter above its reel, while the Double Dragon adds between 1 and 5 to those above all reels. Whenever a Prosperity Pot lands, the number above each reel determines how many Toad symbols are added to positions on them.
If the meter above the reels fills up before a Prosperity Pot lands, you’re awarded an extra 10 spins. Furthermore, each time you land three scatter symbols, you’re awarded another 4 free spins. Finally, if four scatters land on the same spin, the bonus is upgraded to the Golden Toad free spins bonus.
Golden Toad Free Spins Feature
The Golden Toad Free Spins Bonus triggers via an upgrade in the regular bonus game or through four scatter symbols landing on a base game spin. You receive 10 free spins, and the difference here is that the Toad points will not reset between spins.
Bonus Buy
Hacksaw Gaming never disappoints when it comes to bouns buy options, and on the Tai The Toad slot, you can choose from the following:
- Bonus Hunt FeatureSpins: Costing 3x the current stake, this gives you spins that are five times more likely to trigger a free spins bonus.
- Triple Toad FeatureSpins: This option guarantees three toad symbols and a single Prosperity Pot land. It costs 20x your current stake.
- So Many Toad FeatureSpins: 40x gets you spin with 8 toads and a Prosperity Pot guaranteed to land.
- Toad Bonus Free Spins: This triggers the regular free spins bonus for 100x.
- Golden Toad Bonus Free Spins: For 200x, you can purchase the Golden Toad Free Spins Bonus.
Pros
- The slot features the usual variety of bonus features you’d expect from a top Hacksaw Gaming slot.
Cons
- Aside from the theme and a couple of minor tweaks, this is a clone of Magic Piggy.
Tai The Toad Slot Review Final Thoughts
The Magic Piggy slot received 8 out of 10 here at Demoslot, and that, combined with my own opinion of the quality of Tai The Toad, should mean it deserves an equally good rating. However, as it’s a clone, so I really have to dock some points.
