Tai the Toad

Tai the Toad is an Asian-themed slot game developed by Hacksaw Gaming. The game features a 5×5 grid layout with 19 paylines, set against a backdrop of mountainous scenery and large toad statues. The theme heavily incorporates traditional Chinese symbols of fortune and prosperity, with toads playing a central role in the game's mechanics and visual design.

The game's symbols are divided into low-paying and high-paying categories. The low-paying symbols are represented by 10 to A playing card symbols, worth 1 to 3 times the bet for a 5-symbol combination. The high-paying symbols include oranges, a container, a scroll, a mask, and a sycee (ancient Chinese currency), paying 10 to 30 times the stake for five of a kind. Wild symbols can appear on any reel, substituting for all regular pay symbols and offering 30x the stake for a line of five.

Tai the Toad incorporates several special features:

• The Toad & The Pot:
  • Toad symbols reveal either a wild symbol or a Gold Coin when activated by the Prosperity Pot symbol.
