After dozens of poorly executed new games Microgaming has finally hit the nail on the head with Untamed: Bengal Tiger. Every feature has a player satisfying purpose and we can expect to see the innovation in this game carry over into new MGS releases in the future. Others developers will surely copy them to some degree as well. The first amazing feature of this "243 ways to win" game (no paylines, adjacent symbols left to right are winners) is the Collect-A-Wild feature. During regular gameplay each time a wild appears on a reel, one of 4 small boxes on the bottom of the reel is filled with a tiger. When all 4 boxes are full that entire reel becomes wild for the next four spins. Before those spins are completed more reels can fill up and activate making the whole screen potentially full of wild symbols.

The next feature is the Lucky Nudge. It takes three scatters to trigger the free spins. If only two appear on the screen at the end of a spin, one of the other reels may nudge a symbol up or down onto the screen to complete the 3 scatters.

The final new feature is called, “Your Gamble”. Players get to choose the level of risk and reward, setting their own odds to gamble their loot after any winning spin. Use the +/- button to increase or decrease your odds, then click Spin. Winning spins can spin again and again at the same odds making this feature a cash accumulator. Brave souls can try for as much as 20x their last win.

Add the already popular Trailing Wilds feature that leaves wilds on the screen as they slide down during free spins to these much awaited advances and you have a game that is sure to set the standard for new games going forward.
