Pragmatic Play – Floating Dragon – Free Slot Game

With Floating Dragon, Reel Kingdom has basically expanded its ongoing Hold & Spin fruit slot series and mixed it into the bonus round of Big Bass Bonanza. The Asian theme is a bit of a surprise, as it makes for a lower level of engagement from the Western audience. The stats are better, however, which gives Big Bass fans something to consider.

There is perhaps an overdose of stacked money collecting features in this game, but fans of the concept probably won’t mind. The premium symbols are worth between 20x and 200x your bet for 5OAK wins, which is decent, and the money coins only occupy the “reelstand” on the middle reel. This means fewer regular win blockers than in similar games, and Reel Kingdom should probably consider a westernized reskin of this game.

Bonus Features on Floating Dragon Slot

You can land the gold coin money symbols on the middle reel only, and they land with a random prize of 1x to 20x your bet. When you stack 3 on top of each other on Reel 3, the Hold & Spin feature is triggered. The triggering symbols remain frozen and you get 3 respin lives (hearts) at the start of the feature.

The reels are cleared, except for the middle reel, and only blanks and new money symbols land. Each new money symbol you land adds to your total win, and this also resets the number of respins back to 3. In an original twist, the 3 triggering money symbols of the middle reel continue to contribute to your total win on each respin where at least 1 new money symbol lands.

In addition to the regular money symbols, you can also land a diamond symbol during the Hold & Spin feature. The diamond adds a value between 100x and 5,000x to your total winnings and can be considered a random jackpot symbol. You are guaranteed to win at least 20x your bet during the feature, otherwise you will get 3 new respins.

Reel Kingdom has included its own version of the Fishin’ Frenzy-style bonus round in this game, which is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 dragon scatters in view. This awards 10, 15 or 20 free spins, and a seductive Asian lady is both the wild and collector symbol during the feature.

The fish symbols land with cash values, and these are only collected if you also land the wild symbol (the Asian lady) on the same spin. A track over the reels collects the Asian Lady wild, and all 4 wild symbols collected will bring +10 free spins (up to 3 times maximum). This also increases the fish money symbol multiplier to 2x, 3x and 10x for the first, second and last triggers respectively.

The 200 Spins Floating Dragon Slot Experience

Our highlights video is longer than usual this time, and this is due to several triggers in the bonus round. First and foremost, however, is the Hold & Spin feature, which is triggered at 0:48 in the 6-and-a-half-minute video. At 2:16, we trigger the Cash Collect bonus round with 5 Dragon Scatters, starting us off with 20 free spins. You can see how we fared just by clicking the play button.

Rating Conclusion

Reel Kingdom has basically cloned their own Fishin’ Frenzy spin-off, Big Bass Bonanza, given it an Asian theme, and added a Hold & Spin feature from their ongoing fruit slot series. It certainly makes the game stand out in more ways than one, and there are some tweaks and twists that make this installment somewhat interesting.

First, the 5,000x potential is more than doubled compared to Big Bass, and the diamond symbol can earn you that amount at any time during the streak respins. The maximum win in the bonus round is 5,000x. After this win, the feature will stop briefly. We also like the repeated wins from the triggering Hold & Spin symbols, but we worry that the Asian theme may be an unnecessary deterrent for the wider Western audience.

Pros

Hold & Spin with repeatedly triggered symbol wins.
Diamond Hold & Spin symbol awards up to 5,000x
Cash Fish Collection with progressive multiplier
Wins up to 5,000x your bet

Cons

Imitator of Big Bass Bonanza with Asian theme
