5 Tiger General: Playtech's Chinese Slot with Five Local Jackpots

5 Tiger General, also listed as Five Tigers General, is a Chinese-themed video slot from Playtech on NTC33. It runs on any screen size, so it plays the same on a phone as on a desktop.

Paylines and bets in 5 Tiger General

The game uses 15 fixed paylines. Fixed means every line is active on every spin; you cannot switch some off to cut the cost.

The bet range is unusually narrow. Playtech offers just five stake options, from 0.60 coins up to 6.00 coins per spin. There is no tiny micro-bet and no high-roller setting, so the choice is simple: pick one of five levels and play.

The payouts are reasonable for the size of the stake, which means you do not need to jump straight to the top bet to see decent line wins. Staying at a lower level just stretches your budget over more spins.

The five local link jackpots

5 Tiger General carries five local link jackpots. A linked jackpot is fed by play on the connected machines and can drop to any player in the pool. Two points matter here:

• The jackpots are only available in real-money play, not in the free version.
• Like all jackpots, they land rarely and at random. Budget for the base game, and treat the jackpots as an extra.

Try 5 Tiger General for free first

The game can be played for free, and that is the sensible place to start. A demo session shows you how often lines pay and what the symbols are worth, without spending anything. Switch to real money only once you know the game and have set a limit.
