Dragon Gold 88 (Reel Kingdom) – Slot Review
Provider Reel Kingdom returns with another captivating theme, this time drawing inspiration from Asian culture. The game background features a stunning landscape with towering mountains and flourishing forests. The mountains are so tall that they pierce through the clouds. The reel border resembles a traditional building, adorned with golden coins at the base and a dragon wrapped around the right side.
Symbols include the typical 10 to A for low pays and golden animals for premiums. Entering the Free Spins feature transforms the background into a beautiful red aesthetic with a new landscape. The game background is visually striking, and the artwork maintains the high standard expected from Reel Kingdom.
Dragon Gold 88 features a 4-reel by 3-row setup with 10 fixed pay lines. This high variance slot offers a set RTP of 96.71% and a maximum win capped at 5,000x your stake. Betting ranges from £0.10 to £250.
Dragon Gold 88 Symbols & Pay Table
The game includes 12 symbols in total, with five low-paying symbols represented by 10, J, Q, K, and A. The five premium symbols are Dragon Balls, Fish, Toads, Turtles, and Dragons. Additionally, the game features a Wild Symbol and a Scatter Symbol. The highest paying symbol is the Dragon premium, which pays 200x for five across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all regular symbols, and Scatters and Wilds can appear on every reel.
Dragon Gold 88 Features & Mechanics
The Dragon Ball symbol also serves as a Money Symbol, taking a value from a predefined set on each spin, ranging from 2x to 5,000x.
Free Spins Feature
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins feature, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. In the base game, if two Scatter symbols land without a third, a random feature may bring another onto the screen:
- If the Scatter symbols can move down one position without leaving the reel area, a respin is triggered, moving the reels with Scatter symbols down one position while the other reels respin.
- Randomly, a claw may pull one of the reels up to reveal another Scatter symbol.
Before the round starts, 0 to 5 modifiers are randomly selected to apply to the subsequent round:
- MORE DRAGON BALLS: More DRAGON BALL symbols are present on the reels during the Free Spins round.
- MORE DRAGONS: More WILD symbols are present on the reels during the Free Spins round.
- MORE DYNAMITES, CLAWS, AND FIRECRACKERS: Increased chance to hit dynamite, claw, or firecracker spin features.
- LEVEL UP: The round starts from level 2 in the progressive feature.
- EXTRA FREE SPINS: The round starts with 2 extra free spins, and 2 more spins are added to every retrigger.
During the Free Spins feature, each WILD symbol also collects all the values from MONEY symbols on the screen. All WILD symbols that hit during the feature are collected until the end of the round. Every 4th WILD symbol collected retriggers the feature, awarding 10 more free spins and increasing the multiplier for MONEY symbol collection to 2x for the second level, 3x for the third level, and 10x for the fourth level. Retriggered spins are played after the previous batch of free spins ends. The multiplier applies to the retriggered spins. After the fourth level, the feature cannot be retriggered anymore.
Randomly, if there are DRAGON symbols on the screen but no DRAGON BALLS, one of the following features may be triggered at the end of a free spin:
- Dynamite Spin Feature: MONEY symbols appear in random positions.
- Claw Feature: A claw pulls a random reel up to bring DRAGON symbols onto the screen.
- Firecracker Feature: A firecracker animation changes all symbols on the screen, except DRAGON symbols, to something else.
This feature can be purchased for 100x your chosen stake size. There is an Ante Bet option that increases your bet by 50%, enhancing your chances of triggering this feature naturally.
Conclusion
Overall, Dragon Gold 88 fails to impress with its unoriginal theme and visually pleasing but unremarkable graphics. The mechanics also feel repetitive, featuring a Money Collect and Free Spins feature similar to those in Big Bass Bonanza. Be sure to try out this game on launch and check out our exclusive casino offers.
