Hello, here in the country where I live (brazil), betting wasn't such a common thing, but over the last year, things have changed after I heard that people were making money by betting little with a so-called tiger game.

This went viral here and even influencers and Instagram or Facebook pages started promoting this game, there are also variants like fortune mouse and so on.

What do you think of this game, if you don't know it?

I heard that you have to play at the right times and influencers promote new platforms, as the previous ones stop paying and users have to migrate from platform to platform. I'm curious about how to get the hang of this game, but it's a game where you shouldn't be greedy, as it starts with paying and takes your money as your greed increases.

It sounds like these games are gaining traction quickly, but honestly, the scenario you're describing raises some red flags for me. The idea of having to jump from platform to platform because the old ones stop paying out doesn't sound stable or sustainable. It also seems like the game could be designed to exploit player psychology, especially if it pays out initially but then takes more money as players get greedier.

If you're really interested in giving it a try, Im not recommend doing so. And remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it often is. Also, keep an eye out for reviews and reports from other players to get a sense of how trustworthy these platforms are. Stay safe and gamble responsibly!

These influencers who promote them should be arrested for promoting scams and something that looks very illegal. From my understanding there are no age restrictions on it so even minors can have access to the gambling game. They are promoting underage gambling. And this is not going to good. The authorities will need to ban this if they cannot regulate it.


It is illegal.

There are more people losing at this game than winning. Brazil should be ready to tackle the wave of gambling addiction that will be spread across the country as a result of this game.

Stop paying and people having to migrate from one betting site or platform to another! That ain’t a good idea for a gambling industry. It almost sounds like a pyramid scheme where they just make enough money and boom, they are done and unto the next. It wouldn’t surprise me if it is the same people creating several platforms just to build trust after a failed attempt just to keep on milking the gambling population over there in Brazil.

Well, I don’t know the game and that makes it a not very popular game in my place but, I recently started seeing such publicity about the Plinko game in my nation. It’s way popular but, haven’t got it heard of it having payment issues.

I forgot to mention it, but it was prohibited here. But people don't care and practically no one suffers legal sanctions for it.

I already think this is already a reality in the country.

There are all the signs, but I consider this to be the fault of malicious people rather than the game supplier.

Never heard of it and never seen on any social media, what was that? Would you share to us the game mechanics? As they might be the other games we know about and they might been different in other country.

Anyway if they are promoted by influencers they might be a new gambling site and they start off with influencers but it seems risky as you've said they migrate from platform to platform as they are not paying the participants? was it that risky to play it to begin with?

Was this game only set for limited period of time if so why would they stop paying people and gamer start moving from another site to another, this shows no transparency in that game. From my view they are only doing that to lure people make much deposit to that site and when the traffic has been raised and possibly holding enough people's funds in their costudy they restricts people meaning they had target to made away people's funds.
Well, I am not the game type who much crave for games or new games, my kind is only few games and isn't this, and I never had of that games even within around me or Friends mentioning. Though this could be popular in other regions of my country such as ABJ or Lag.

I am personally not familiar with that game never heard of it. Though recently I stopped going to facebook but since I am more active on YouTube I still haven't seen ads for that specific game. Do you mind sharing photos of it so we can easily have an idea on what it looks like?

Honestly, I have never heard of this game, this is the first time for me to know that this game exists and is even booming in Brazil. However, when a gambling game is promoted by a public figure, it can have a significant effect on the number of players, because many people will see how the game works and will be interested in playing it. But it seems like this isn't a good enough play, considering that you said the previous platform stopped paying and people moved to the new platform instead - chances are that this platform won't last long either and will end up just like the previous platform. People should be careful on platforms like this.

Did you mean slot games? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrqy6SphOsY

This game is not famous in my region, Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus are familiar in my region.

Just like any slots, there's will be house edge and it will make the casino will win in the long run. There are no such strategy, play at the right time, superstitions or being patient to win, it's all about luck.

I have never played those games and they aren't much famous in my region. Most of the times, I see social media influencers promoting casinos that are the shady ones like 1xbit or 1xbet and games like aviator that most often have huge house edges which most players can't win.

I suggest you to avoid playing those games if you think they are made in a shady way to loot the money of the players. The best games to place bets in my eyes will always be those that are physical matches available on sportsbook as they can't be manipulated by platforms in anyway.

The famous tiger game... It's impressive how many people play this game in Brazil, practically everyone I know knows about this game and has at least played it once in their lives...

They have extremely aggressive marketing, especially with digital influencers, and apparently this gives a huge financial return for the game's owners, of course.

I have never played and I have no desire to play, I believe it is a game where you lose much more than you win... unlike sports betting, where there is a greater chance of winning.

Isn't that most slot games? The point of them is to entertain you and get you feeling like you're unbeatable to keep you playing until you eventually lose everything. They aren't stupid when they design these games and casinos make their money from slots mostly.

Was it illegal or is it still illegal? From what I could understand from the research I did, the reason the game is considered illegal is because the site is not registered in Brazil and is not hosted in Brazil. If I'm not mistaken, I saw an interview on a Brazilian channel one day, in which the Brazilian commentator said that Brazilian law prohibits physical casinos in Brazil as well as virtual casinos hosted in Brazil. but in the case of casinos hosted outside of Brazil, there was no problem as long as the casino is legal in the country in which it is located. the problem is that last year there was an influencer named Skarlete Mello who was arrested because of this game you are talking about here on the forum

The source of the news that talks about the arrest of this influencer called Skarlete Mello, is in Portuguese, so there's no point in me posting the link here, but anyone who wants to confirm that he was arrested because of this game, just search for her, her name: Skarlete Mello. By this I mean that it's best that you stay away from these games and don't talk to anyone about them. because there may be people in your country who hear you commenting on this game and report it to the police and get you arrested. In my opinion, it's not worth taking that risk

Please provide a reference on the game since there’s a slot game named after this while there’s a lot of games related to the name you provide which doesn’t give an exact game for what you are asking for.

Perhaps are you pertaining to Dragon Tiger game which is almost similar to Baccarat but the only difference is the side bets? Or is this the slot games named fortune tiger? Nevertheless, there’s no define strategy on a game of luck aside from managing your bankroll properly to avoid risky bets when your game gets intense.

I'm not that familiar with that game here at our local community, people do love online gaming as Lucky fun game using fiat cash in and not crypto.
Most players were families in poverty who seek luck from betting same with what you're referring to. But it isn't right to say people making money with tiger game, since gambling always leads to destruction of your finances in reality of the talk.
In crypto gaming, we can't have the assurance to prosper but if you have self control in what you do I guess you'll do both the fun and profit.

Nope, actually this is my first time to hear this game. I also not favor to gamble on slots because it's not that fun and the chance to lose is bigger compared to sports.

Not surprising, since unregulated online casino is illegal in Portugese, she got arrested. Either she's ignorance or think she can bribe the police, but she must be cause a noise and it make the police need to arrest her in order to satisfy the citizen.

Sometimes most of these ads are based on what you are interested in; maybe you have not watched more gambling videos in the past, which might be part of the reason they wouldn't suggest it for you. Just like me, it's hard to see casino ads on my YouTube because I don't remember searching for any related content to that; it's more of a crypto search and the rest of them.

Well, the Fortune Tiger game is not uncommon but the one you seem to have explained is a bit difference because the one I know is one of the slots game of a three-reel system which is popular in casinos. But yours seem to be different and should have been named in a different tag to avoid confusion. Have you tried checking with the popular casinos? You would see enough of this game there and they do not need extra promotion for it to be patronised.

Just like any other casino games, the fortune is well-known and it's gaming more relevance and popular. But what baffled, or should I say scares me about yours is the way the influencers are getting the whole hold of it where the casinos they move to will also be where others would move to bet the game. Don't you think this is posing its own threat to the customers? Also, the situation where casinos will stop paying is unpalatable.

PG soft is the provider of Fortune Tiger with RTP 96.81% and max multi is 2500x.
That game has long been available since 2022 at some of crypto casinos, but 3x3 reel slots are usually not popular.
Perhaps that game is very popular in Brazil because some of the online casino (local) pays many influencers to promote it and the platform.


Thats definitely just a trick to get more people to register using the influencer referral.

The RTP is not great but at least with such a max multiplier being at 2500x I hope the game has low volatility. Frequent payouts can often give the illusion that a slot is "loaded" or that it pays out well. Well in reality the RTP in these games is usually on the low side and this is a prime example. These games are often avoided by the more experienced crown in gamblers.

So it kinda makes sense influencer got on the bandwagon to start promoting it. They need a new generation of gamblers and mostly the younger crowds too to make their money. They earn from affiliate marketing and from people's losses so they don't really care to do some unethical advertising. Better look into the stats of such games before diving in. If you're smart, you'd stay away of "Fortune tiger" and pretty much most games advertised by influencers.

@Forsyth Jones what do you mean by famous in your region, how can you determine that, betting is famous everywhere, and Brazil, by the way, you mention there is no betting in Brazil or your region, whatever:


What are you talking about, Brazil is the third country in the world that uses online casinos the most.

Source:https://www.yogonet.com/international/news/2023/08/15/68317-brazil-ranks-third-in-the-world-in-betting-site-consumption-with-425-million-unique-users

I think Brazil even had to enforce strict tax rules for gamblers who win big or reasonably well enough. Some percent would be paid as tax for the win and this policy is what the government put in place to inhibit the spread and increase of gambling  in the country.

Well, in my country I can see the game being made available for Android as apps on playstore and it's a good new game that recently launched, but I don't know if my country people like such games unless it has gained much popularity. I also think this fortune tiger game can be played with cryptocurrencies, how cool is that?

That sounds sketchy to me. This need to hop from one site to another to continue playing or cashing out winnings isn't typical of reputable gaming or betting sites, which strive to offer consistent, reliable services to maintain trust and a solid user base. So if you’re thinking about giving it a shot, I’d say keep your wallet tight and your skepticism on high alert.

According to the Slot Trumps Player Behavior Report (https://igamingbrazil.com/en/online-en/2023/10/18/fortune-tiger-aviator-and-mines-are-brazilians-favorite-online-casino-games/), Fortune Tiger, Aviator and Mines are the most popular and go to games by most Brazillians. I think that there is more to the winning at of these games. Since the OP is talking about Fortune Tiger, its captivating design mixed with the seamless and aesthetically pleasing interface, coupled with its interactive elements (https://innotechtoday.com/innovations-in-online-gaming-how-fortune-tiger-is-revolutionizing-brazils-casino-scene/) are some of the elements that makes it to be so popular. I found that the game is being investigated by the Civil Police of Maranhão on suspicion of a financial pyramid.

This seems like just any other slot game that you can play online, and while its graphics are eye-catching that is all there is to it, if anything the thing that worries me the most is that you can play this game in a platform and then you need to move on to another one as it stops paying, if that is true then you need to stay away from those casinos, as there is no point on playing an entertaining slot, if in the case you win you do not receive the money you are owed.

You are absolutely right,if you see the frequency which the most well known providers of slot machines produce a new slot with new features is impressive to say the least as it usually is from a few days to a week max.The slot machines are truly the games making most money for the casinos as lately they are being designed even more confusing to the players by adding so called super feature beside the regular bonus feature game.I agree that whenever someone designs a game is mostly to help the house,in our case the casinos to make more money by adding that game to their portfolio,I would suggest to confine yourself to playing games of skill as lately the slots are hungry,oh boy how hungry they are you can only find out if you go and play them  ;D.

I'm trying to understand something, the influencers promoting different platforms and people who move to same different platform will have to start all over again? If yes then this is just a perfect example of when influencers benefit more compared to other games. Why will people choose to play such game or the profit involved is huge cause I don't get why influencers creat different platforms, just imagine creating a different platform during your winning point, I don't support this but I'm curious to know if anyone has ever won playing the game

No, I haven't heard this game before, so not sure how popular it is, but perhaps it is being promoted by a lot of gambling influential in Brazil that's why it's became so famous in that region.

Nevertheless, if this is just a "regular" slot game machine, and with what we expected the RTP will be, then it just a standard game? Although I love to play animal themes in land base casinos as I have won big amounts like the 100 lions, close to jackpot with a max bet. So I will have to check this out and see how it goes.

The lockdown caused by Covid 19 led to an increase in the number of online casinos in the world. May people also embraced gambling because they needed another means of entertainment since public gathering and movement was restricted.


I have never heard of this game and it is not popular in my country. I suspect most of these casinos will be associated with scams since they will stop paying after some time. Scammers might just set up these casinos and pay people for some time while others will lose money. This is proof that these gambling platforms are not reputable.


Another reason why this game is popular is because they are promoted by popular influencers on social media. Hence many people are motivated to engage in this game because these influencers make them look legitimate. The game should be investigated and if it is proved to be against the law, the culprits should be punished accordingly.

Never heard this game before, and if the influencers are trying to hype this game I believe this can be entertaining but don’t be fooled with those influencers are they are just trying to catch up with the hype and benefit from it. There’s a lot of influencers who are promoting gambling in my country as well, live every video they’ve posted online you can see a gambling site at the last part of the video, I don’t know why but hopefully they know what they are doing especially exposing younger people into gambling.

You couldn't be more right, in the city where I live I heard a case of a person who bet everything he had on this game, around R$90.000 which amounts to around US$17297 This guy had to move to another city to try a new life, as he fell into a deep depression because of his addiction to this game.

I didn't express myself well, in brazil betting is very well known, but with the appearance of the fortune tiger, this tripled the number of players. At least from my point of view. People in my daily life who didn't talk about betting now bet, some lose and others win and others end up at 0x0. This is all due to the massive advertising of these influencers.

I already made a post discussing this, see:    
brazil sanctioned law that taxes online betting in the country (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5489841.msg63839287#msg63839287)

Yes, that's true, this game can be played in online casinos and most of them accept crypto, including some that are here on the forum.

This is the game, I got some images of it:
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/04/21/jiXrw.png (https://www.talkimg.com/image/jiXrw)

The @Sundderland provided the details and the publisher responsible for this game.

The game is still illegal, alastantiger gave more details below:

I'm not a fan of this game, at my work most people play this game and even the ones you mentioned, but certainly the most famous one is Fortuge Tiger, these people earn a lot of money in the game, but due to greed they end up giving it back profit and still end up at a loss.

"Jogo do tigrinho" has become a hype in Brazil among virtual gamblers, even though there is a plethora of slots themes available. I believe the success is heavily related to the fact people tend to repeat patterns others are doing. There are hundreds of games disponible (all of them with same winning chances), but among all of them, people will play the one which there are more active players and more ads being promoted in real time on the social medias and social circles they attend to.

Besides that, I believe the mainstream media contributed to that phenomenon when they attempted to denounce, alert and educate brazilian citizens regards potential risks and damages the game could bring to their personal finances. Instead of instilling discernment, they created further hype and fascination for the game in the country, as it can be seen through the memes shared on social medias and so many videos talking about the Tiger game, which gained even more versions along the time, as we can see at PlayStore, for an example.

Personally, I have nothing against Tiger game, as I don't have anything against gambling in general. I just feel ashamed and annoyed by how these social influencers promote these games and by how the population receives this kind of content as legit.

I have never heard about this service here. After reading your post and the fact gamblers are supposed to jump from platform to other platforms because they cannot longer withdraw or whatever, several red flags were risen in my head.
I made some brief investigation on the internet and indeed it seems we are talking about some illegal scheme which poses as a gambling platform to lure unsuspecting victims to deposit.
Honestly, I don't know why would deposit their money in a platform which guarantees profit in this digital era, at this point there are more scams than legitimate investments our there and the noun "casino" and "guaranteed" profits are never supposed to be used in the same phrase, otherwise It would be another red glad in my head.

Next time, before talking about devious and shady services which are illegal in your country, it would good if you pointed out you are talking about scams, otherwise, someone here could red tag you after assuming you are promoting a scam.

Never heard of this but as I searched for it, it shows a game like a version of slot but just have a theme of the name itself. So if it is just some sort of slot game, then I agree with the idea of not being greedy simply because you won't have any control of winning just like with most of pure luck games out there or with typical slots. I think it would be hard to push people to play this game especially if they don't really prefer slots in the first place. Many people are now into sports betting. I also play slots sometimes especially whenever I am having a bad day on sports gambling and just for me, it is just repetitive which makes it a bit boring. Well, it would be fun and all if you are winning but as we all know, such thing doesn't happen on a daily basis.

Good to hear that there are people having a game of their preference and I assume that you enjoy it. It is also an important thing to enjoy the game. We are all losing in the first place so at least aim to enjoy the moments you would be betting.

Jawhead shared a video on the first page... if this is the most famous (popular) game in Brazil they need to check some other providers & slots. :)

I mean, PG Soft is neither good nor bad, or it's just my opinion... many other providers have much more interesting slots. I played some PG slots, but I didn't try this one, and after watching this video, I doubt I will ever try it.

And how do you know which providers are popular in a country? I guess someone needs to visit land-based casinos for that, and I don't visit my city's casinos or their online versions, so I don't know which providers are playing around me. I know more about crypto happenings and what we like to play in crypto casinos.

Nope, never heard of it until now actually. And I don't want to really bother myself with the specifics of how this game operates cause 9 times out of 10 this game's not available in the Philippines and couldn't be played without a VPN, something that I just don't like to begin with.

Although to chip in to this conversation, I am seeing a lot of Pinoys out there on facebook and twitter talk about something along the lines of "scatter" or more colloquially, "skater". I personally don't know how the game works but from the looks of it it's a variation on the common slot machine, with more payouts per unique figures that would come out of the screen for you. A lot of people, unemployed and employed, family-man and single males alike flock upon these games right here, memeing about buying shit so fancy the average joe wouldn't even understand how it works, all because of scatter. It's all laughs and games until someone's reeled into games like this, and is addicted beyond salvation.

Nice trivia there mate. Now I know where did this Fortune Tiger game originated and it had a different name before or should I say that Fortune Tiger only got an inspiration to it. Like you, many of us also hate the influencers who misleadingly promote almost anything not just gambling. We badly need a regulation for this because a lot of people can negatively affected by them.

@OP, no it isn't famous in our country yet despite of its popularity on the other but there is one slot game here instead that a lot of my country men are playing. The game is called Super Ace.

@uneng is right that the reason why it or other games can become popular is because of this  ⤵

https://dl.memuplay.com/new_market/img/com.tfac.tiger.fortune.a456bet.cassino.icon.2023-06-02-09-38-24.png

Do u mean this a slot game from the PG I never played it before heck I just barely knew it from you the slot game that is popular in my country are zeus and mahjong people play these games and win a lot but nowadays my friend said that Pragmatic play didn't give any jackpot for couple day so they moved to PG but I never saw people play this game

On the contrary, I think ponzi isn't common in your country because this game is an obvious ponzi game created by a group of scammers who lure people in and then scam them of their money, we've had replicas of these games here in my country and they later make away with lots of user funds in their system

Influences don't care about what they promote, in fact, most of then never use what they endorse, they only care  about their money and nothing more. I really wish there could be a law that punishes influencers that promote products with dangerous potential on the masses

I think its a scam, the earlier you avoid it, the better for you and the more you're able to save yourself from the heavy financial loss you'll incur with continual involvement in it.


Previous platforms stops praying because they've achieved their financial target and paying more than they've would place them at a loss, so they fold up that platform with numerous users and start new ones with a little different branding. If you investigate properly, its the same team of people that own every of those platforms. I think they've launched a gold mine in Brazil and its converting properly. I don't blame you guys because it seems ponzi schemes are rare over there and that's why there's this huge followership on this scam project


Every detail you share her validates this project as a scam, this is another feature of scams, luring you in with little gains and clamping on your bigger deposits.

I never tried it but the Fortune Tiger game has lot of influencers promoting it, I even saw quite lot of links on social media like Facebook which advertise this game quite lot.
Some people consider it game of skill because you can use strategy to win, but looking at how this game works I think it is purely game of luck like slot games in general.
Winning will depend on the table combination and of course everything works randomly and any strategy can never guarantee victory in the Fortune Tiger game.

After knowing some basics of how this game works, to be honest I wasn't that interested in it but recently my friends had talked about it and they had tried playing there.
It just that I still very focused on sports betting, especially now that there are lots of really interesting matches, maybe I can try it when the football season is over.

Whenever someone is trying as hard as they can to sell you something you need to wonder why this is happening? And a possibility is that maybe the RTP of that slot machine is on the low side and the casinos which have it would like for it to become popular so they can increase their profits this way, since it is kind of odd that so many influencers are promoting it at the same time for no apparent reason, and this could explains why that is the case.

Stop paying attention to the influencers and streamers because they're telling the new trend and that trend that's being made by them is paid by those sponsors and whoever invented that fortune tiger.

I have never played that game and I thought that in Brazil, gambling is common where it's one of the biggest fans of some sports that's known globally.

If you have noticed that many have been endorsing a game, it's a well collaborated marketing strategy by the game providers or the casinos where it can be found.

Agree, this game and I believe that in most slot games the player can't go too thirsty, most people who play this game every day lose more money than they win, leaving themselves at a loss at the end of the month, but their addiction can't make them see that.




Hmm thanks for mentioning these, I'll look into it more.

Do most slot games work basically the same way? Is Tiger just one of the thousands of slots that exist?

Yep, I have seen it but I haven't played it much. It's available in mobile gambling apps where you make a deposit using your mobile wallet or bank account and then start playing. Such apps or platforms have a lot of games, some even have sports betting in them. I had a similar app in my smartphone earlier, but I barely played Fortune Tiger, I more often used to play Fortune Rabbit, it was a fun game, didn't pay much initially, but if you win free spins, you tend to get something big from it.

I know that there are a lot of similar apps and platforms available in the market, but I have never heard of them not paying their customers and people having to migrate to other platforms, if that happens, it means all of such platforms can turn into scams and people shouldn't deposit large amounts.

I'm not familiar on that game especially now that I rarely checked some of my social media accounts that's why I didn't see any advertisement about fortune tiger. since it was promoted online by some influencers, I believe that this is a legal gambling but as you warned us, seems like there's something fishy in that game because of repetitive transfer of platforms to other platforms. Much better to check everything about new gambling to avoid participating in a scam games because it will lead you to a worst outcome.

I have not heard of such game. I assumed that the uncommon of gambling in your country would either be a course of the government policies over gambling maybe due to how it has ruined the people or that you people had never been so interested gambling maybe because the winning tendencies based on the kind of the games being manipulated by the bookmakers or the technical developers so that no one would win.

I don't really know why gambling was not common in your place but with what you have just said and how I can little analysis it, I think a gambling bookmarker has just discovered and developed a game system that would attract the audience based on winning possibilities.

While you are all comfortable betting and winning on that game, I bet that it was just configured and program in such easy winnings just in a main time to influence gamblers just as it has been.

I just hope your native gambler would not be carried away with this attractive opportunity of winning when things goes south.

Do most slot games work basically the same way in a simple term yes and if you well is close to win When you spin a modern slot machine, it generates a random number for each reel to figure out which symbol to show. A reel might have 3 blank spots and 1 jackpot symbol, but that doesn’t mean that you’re only 3 times as likely to get a blank spot.

But, even the blank spots aren’t evenly weighted. Let’s say that a machine’s random number generator is configured to show a blank spot on any internal result from 1–16. The blank next to the jackpot symbol is probably weighted more heavily than the others - maybe *that* blank shows up from 1–9, and the other two blanks get 10–12 and 13–16. - https://www.quora.com/Are-slot-machines-programmed-to-inveigle-the-player-with-almost-wins-or-close-calls-that-would-normally-not-occur

Is Tiger just one of the thousands of slots that exist? Yes basically all same you push the button and behind the scenes everything is almost same when you hit some pattern you win the game and win the money

That was what worried me the most from the post of the OP, what game provider is behind such game that most of the casinos that are offering it are just scamming their customers and disappearing? As even if the game provider had nothing to do with this, it is obvious that I am not going to use my hard-earned money in a slot machine in which even if I won I may not get paid what I am owed by the casino, in that case I might as well just keep my money and avoid that game no matter what.

Since we are talking about gambling, then it is almost certain there will be greed and where there is greed there will be suffering for those who will get carried away from the beginning.
Also, if you pay attention to this thread, specially the firsts posts, you would realize this casino game or so-called service is likely to be a scam pretending to be some kind of slot game.
It is a form of scam which has been going on in Spain and Latin America since some years ago, most of the times it is a team of Chinese scammers who  end up doing the same time scam once and over and over again, running with people's USDT. The OP in this thread even gave some red flags on the fact this kind of "gambling" has been outlawed in his country, because it is not gambling at all.

The fact there is a lot of people from Brazil willing to give promotion and advertisement to a literal scam only makes things worse, if you ask me.
