Dragon Hot a and Spin Theme and Setting

Go inside the ancient temple and let the mythical dragon be the guide to an unforgettable adventure.

Graphics and Sound

The game’s audiovisuals are typical depictions of Chinese-themed slot games, with traditional music and imagery evoking that familiar ambiance and atmosphere.

What makes this game unique is that it presents its winning payouts differently. Pay lines are drawn, aside from the icons animating, to highlight the winning pattern and combination..

Gameplay and Bonuses

The slot machine game is intricate yet tricky, as it is high risk, high reward in nature with the way it plays out.

Dragon Hot Hold and Spin features only five horizontal pay lines: a straight line for each row, a V-shaped pattern, and a caret-shaped pattern.

To win and get paid, depending on the symbol, some pay out with just two matches starting from the leftmost reel, others requiring at least three. An exception to this is the dragon (SCATTER) that pays in any position if at least two appear in a single spin.

Getting at least five MONEY symbols in the base spin activates the Hold and Spin minigame. In that special feature, the aim is to fill up the entire board with MONEY symbols with four respins on hand. The respins is refilled whenever a MONEY icon pops up.

The bonus round ends once respins run out or if the screen is filled up with MONEY symbols. The latter triggers the Big Money Wheel Bonus, which adds more to the prize by spinning a reel of multipliers.

The maximum amount one can win is 20,000x of the wager. If the total win of the round reaches that amount, the round ends, payouts are delivered, and any features still running are forfeited.

The settings make it easy for the player to toggle preferences, from sounds to spin settings, as well as bet settings. Results of previous spins can also be seen by clicking on Spin History.

The game is made easier to understand with the Information Page, where all the details are presented.

Dragon Hot Hold and Spin has an RTP rate of 96.7%, considering that it is a high-stakes game with just five paylines in play.

In most of the sample runs (100 Autospins and the bet set to max), the chances of getting past the initial capital are slim, the chances of payout averaging at least ten percent of the total spin.

Overall, the game is not for the faint of heart. As the saying goes, fortune favors the fearless.
