Game Overview
this slot is a five-reel, four-row slot with 1024 ways to win. Wins form by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. Pragmatic Play built this game around an East Asian theme – dragons, tigers, and golden animals (rabbits, tortoises, fish, frogs) fill the paytable alongside standard card ranks.
The background is draped in red and orange fire tones, with a dragon and tiger climbing the sides of the gold-framed reel screen. Background music is slow and soothing; the Wild dragon breathes fire when it lands, and the tiger roars. Swift base game pacing keeps players engaged between bonus hits.
Minimum bet is 0.20 per spin, maximum 100. The game runs at 96.5% RTP with high volatility.
Wild Symbol and Substitution
The Wild dragon substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus. It lands on reels 2, 3, and 4, and pays 2x to 20x your bet when it completes a payline. The Wild does not appear on reels 1 or 5, and cannot replace the Bonus trigger – a deliberate design choice that keeps Free Spins initiation clean.
Free Spins Feature and Retriggers
Land three or more Bonus symbols to trigger Free Spins. The number of initial spins depends on Bonus count:
| Bonus Symbols | Free Spins Awarded |
|---|---|
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 20 |
During Free Spins, Wild symbols land with a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x. If multiple multipliers appear on the same spin, they combine and apply to that win. This is where volatility peaks – a 5x Wild on a high-paying symbol can spike the total significantly.
Retriggers happen when two or more Bonus symbols land during the feature:
| Bonus Symbols During Feature | Additional Free Spins |
|---|---|
| 2 | 5 |
| 3 | 8 |
| 4 | 15 |
| 5 | 20 |
The feature runs on special reels and ends only when no new spins are awarded. Retriggers can stretch a 8-spin feature into 20+ spins if Bonus symbols keep landing – that’s the mechanic that makes this slot’s volatility bite.
Volatility and Bet Range
this slot is high volatility. Long dry spells in the base game are normal; the payoff comes when Free Spins land and multipliers stack. Players betting 0.20 to 100 per spin will feel the swings acutely.
The 18,000x max win sits well above average for a Pragmatic Play title, but hitting it requires both a deep Free Spins run and high-value symbol combinations with stacked multipliers. Most sessions will see smaller wins or prolonged base game drought.
