Theme and Design
Lucky Cats and Ornate Temples In Temple of Paw
Temple of Paw taps into the theme of Asian lucky symbols. In this case that lucky symbol is a cat called Miso, whose cute face and uplifted paw represent the scatter symbol which is the key to unlocking the free spins round. The game is set amongst some ornate gardens with temples and cat statues, all nicely illustrated in typical Quickspin style. Greens and reds are the chosen colors and overall this is not a bad-looking slot.
RTP and Variance
Temple of Paw has 4 RTP rates – 96.01%, 94%, 92% and 87%. It is at your slot sites’ discretion which rate they choose to run the game at. Most will set the game to 96.01% or 94%. However, some will run at the 2 lower rates and they are to be avoided.
You can check the RTP setting for yourself by hitting the Setting icon under the reels, then ‘?’ and scrolling down until you see RTP. My recommendation would be to play at Casumo or a White Hat Gaming site like Barz Casino where the RTP rates are usually at a high level.
Despite its cute exterior this is still a highly volatile slot so don’t expect an easy ride. Quickspin know how to crank up the variance and this could be a tough play at times.
Maximum Win
The maximum win has been capped at 7,333x for Temple of Paw. It’s not a huge value, and there are many more games out there with much higher potential if that is what you are looking for. From Quickspin you could try Sticky Bandits 3 Most Wanted (22,468x) or Book of Duat (32,760x).
Symbols and Paytable
Temple of Paw plays out on a simple 5 reel and 3 row reel set with 20 paylines. You need to land 3 or more identical symbols on a line from left to right starting at the left most reel to trigger a win.
There are 8 standard pay symbols in the paytable. Low payers are the card suits – spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts – valued at from 0.1x for 3 clubs up to 5x for 5 spades. The premiums are the Good Luck Knots, Red Envelope, 3 Coins and Coin Purse. These are valued at from 0.5x for 3 Lucky Knots up to 75x for 5 Coin Purses.
There is also a Wild symbol that will substitute for any of those pay symbols to complete paylines. It has a value of its own at 2.5x, 12.5x and 125x for 3, 4 or 5 on a line.
Features and Gameplay
Temple of Paw is a simple slot which is all about progressive multipliers and free spins, with the action driven along by a tumble wins mechanic. This is how it works:
Tumble Wins And Progressive Multipliers
After any win, winning symbols are removed from the reels, existing ones fall into the spaces left behind and new ones drop down from above to fill the remaining gaps. If more paylines are completed then the process repeats, and so on until no more wins occur.
At the same time, with each tumble a global win multiplier grows by 1x.
Pawsperity Free Spins And More Progressive Multipliers
The cute cat with the word BONUS written over it is the scatter. You need to land 3 or more on one spin to trigger the free spins round, Pawsperity, as follows:
- 3 Cat Scatters – 7 free spins
- 4 Cat Scatters – 10 free spins
- 5 Cat Scatters – 15 free spins
- 6 Cat Scatters – 22 free spins
The game has a gamble feature so that you can gamble for the next level of free spins before the round starts. It’s a 50/50 spin of a wheel and each time you win you go to the next level up. But be careful, because losing means you lose the free spins round entirely.
The difference between the free spins round and the base game is that now the progressive multiplier increases by 1x for EVERY SYMBOL that drops out as part of a tumble. That is a pretty big change and means your multiplier can potentially grow much faster.
It is also possible to re-trigger the Pawsperity round by landing more cat scatters like this:
- 3 Cat Scatters – 3 more free spins
- 4 Cat Scatters – 5 more free spins
- 5 Cat Scatters – 7 more free spins
There is no gamble on the re-trigger.
Final Verdict
With the simple but powerful tumble wins-multiplier mechanic at its heart, Temple of Paw is a game that is suited to pure gamblers who want to chase down that adrenaline rush of the big win through simple gameplay and cumulative win features. The free spins round is where it’s at and getting anywhere close to that 7,333x top payout will require you to unlock this superb feature. It requires patience, and good bankroll management, but for those lucky enough to strike gold it will be worth it.
Testing Notes
I played 250 spins on Temple of Paw on Quickspin’s test server prior to release to test the game. This is what happened.
- Stake Size: 1
- Start balance: 5,000
- End balance: 5,023.35
- Hit Rate: 24.8% (62 winning spins in 250)
- Biggest Win: 135.1x
- Free Spins Round: 1
Despite being a volatile game, the win rate on Temple of Paw over 250 spins was decent enough at 24.85%. It was very streaky with lots of runs of 10 or 12 spin with no return, but then it would kick into gear and a nice tumble sequence with a 3x of 4x multiplier would drop.
In the base game the highest the multiplier reached was 6x, but the free spins round was a totally different story. It took 204 spins to trigger it, but it didn’t disappoint. I started with 7 spins but extended by 3 spins twice so I had 13 in total. The win multiplier had grown to 53x by the end and the total win was 135.1x. To get the best out of Temple of Paw you need to trigger this feature. The rate at which the multiplier grew was amazing and it can do doubt deliver some huge wins.
