How the Grid Works / Cluster Pays / Avalanche
this slot ditches paylines entirely. The game needs five or more identical symbols forming a horizontal or vertical cluster to register a win. Diagonal matches do not pay.
Once a valid cluster forms, those symbols vanish and the remaining pieces drop down to fill the gaps. Fresh symbols fall from the top. The grid rechecks for new clusters. This Avalanche repeats until no new wins appear – a single spin can cascade multiple times.
One catch: Yin-Yang Bonus Scatters, Golden Dragons, and Jade Dragons stay locked on the grid during Avalanches. They do not drop away, letting them anchor future wins or trigger special mechanics.
Symbol Payouts / Value Tiers
Low-value gems come in blue, pink, and green. A five-cluster of these stones pays only 0.05x your bet – barely a whisper. Red stones climb to 0.20x for five. Real returns demand scale: 10x to 20x payouts require 15+ symbols in a single cluster.
High-value Oriental symbols carry the weight. These include a Heart Gem, red Lantern, Dragon Scroll, Golden Fan, Jade Ring, and Imperial Crown. Five Imperial Crowns pay 1.0x. Connect 15 or more Crowns and the game awards 150x your bet. A standard Wild substitutes for all regular gems and items – but not the special feature symbols.
Coin Collect / Multiplier Spots
When a cluster clears, it leaves behind highlighted grid spots. Land a second winning cluster on one of these marked spaces and a x1 multiplier sticks there. Every subsequent win on that same spot adds +1 to the multiplier. These multipliers cap at x10,000.
Bronze through Jade coins drop randomly on the grid with values ranging from 0.5x to 500x your stake. These coins respond only to marked multiplier spots – they boost the payout when collected.
POT items act as vacuums: they absorb all visible coin values into one giant sum, then convert into a high-value coin themselves. A Golden Dragon at the end of a cascade fills all marked spots with coins, multiplies the values, pays the total, and resets the board completely. The Jade Dragon follows the same routine but leaves the board active instead of wiping it clean.
Free Spins Tiers / Standard / Enhanced / Super / Ultra
Yin-Yang Scatters trigger the bonus. Your scatter count dictates the starting tier. Multiplier spots remain sticky across all free rounds within a tier.
| Scatters | Spins | Tier Name | Key Mechanic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 8 | Standard | Golden Dragon active; resets multipliers to zero when it lands |
| 5 | 10 | Enhanced | Only Jade Dragon active; multipliers stick and grow without reset |
| 6 | 12 | Super | Jade Dragon only; multipliers double (not +1) on every win |
| 7 | 14 | Ultra | Jade Dragon guaranteed every spin; multipliers double; 14 guaranteed collections |
Catching three scatters during any free round awards 4 extra spins and automatically upgrades your tier one level.

RTP / Volatility / Betting Range
The default RTP is 96.5% – slightly above the current industry baseline. Pragmatic Play offers adjustable RTP ranges, so verify the active percentage in your operator’s help menu before playing.
Volatility plays at medium level. The hit frequency sits at 23.58%, meaning players see a payout roughly every four spins. Minimum bet is 0.2 credits; maximum is 240 per spin. The game caps payouts at 20,000x your stake. Reaching this ceiling during a bonus feature stops the bonus immediately and awards that total.
Theme / Visuals
The Oriental theme dominates the aesthetic. A large animated character – a white-bearded deity in flowing white and emerald robes – stands just outside the right edge of the grid, holding a coiled dragon that shifts subtly during play. The background shows glowing, misty mountains rising behind calm waters, with golden pagodas nestled against steep cliffs and sakura branches framing the top corners.
The interface uses bright gold for menus and thick carved dragon pillars bordering the reels. Symbol designs employ strong reds, purples, and pinks to stand out against the darker background during cascades.
