This large golden dragon doesn't seem to be willing to let go of the glowing orb in his hand. Hopefully, he'll use it to send you off to play a respins bonus where you could land a Grand jackpot and max win prize worth 10,000x. With a little bit of luck, Lion Link Wealth of the Dragon could also deliver a few free spins and mystery symbols too.
Full review continued below ↓They've long been a symbol of wealth and prosperity and why shouldn't they be when they're so big and dangerous? These firey lizards have entered folklore in various parts of the world but hopefully this Grand jackpot won't be going down as an elusive, mythical creature.
This simple game area offers you 40 paylines across the five reels and three rows. A group of three matching royal symbols will get you the lowest payout with a maximum of 0.25x on offer. Unfortunately, even the picture symbols fail to return your base bet with just 0.75x available for a group of five gold dragons. The wild symbols can pay up to 2.5x.
Mystery symbols can land at any point and these may open to reveal any of the regular paying symbols, but not the scatter symbols.
You'll only see the highest winning combo paid out each time and wins must start on the left hand reel. There is a little confusion when you read the game’s instructions as they seem to be toying with the idea of a ways setup that will allow you to pick up wins on adjacent reels rather than fixed paylines.
Another discrepancy is the symbol values and I imagine these will be adjusted closer to the release date. For prizes so small, you would need some constant modifications with multipliers boosting your payout but that simply doesn't happen in this game.
Apart from wild symbols that substitute for regular paying symbols, the only modification you'll find here is the addition of mystery symbols. These land all over the place and will reveal one and the same paying symbol. If you're lucky enough to see a winning combo created by the mystery symbols, then you simply pick up a payout but it doesn't enhance any existing ones.
The dragon is holding a large crystal ball or pearl and each time one of these lands on the screen, it tends to connect with the one held in the dragon’s grasp. They have a cash value worth up to 75x and potentially one of the four smaller jackpots, which are worth 6x, 15x, 60x or 200x.
Landing 6 of these glowing balls will be sufficient to trigger the Lion Link feature where you now have three respins and each time one of these special symbols land, it sticks in place and produces a jackpot or cash prize.
Your three spins get renewed with each special symbol and if you go three spins without one of these symbols, it's game over and you head back to the base game with any rewards that were held on the grid. If you completely fill the grid, you will walk off with the 10,000x Grand jackpot.
To play for free, you're going to need three scatter symbols on the central three reels and in return, you get eight free spins and a little 2x prize. Mystery symbols can still land and reveal some of the regular paying symbols but they aren't going to produce either of the scatter symbols that might trigger extra free games or the Lion Link feature.
There's no mention of a direct bonus buy in at the moment but that may well come along later as well.
The crystal balls offer cash values worth up to 75x or one of the four lower jackpot. Six or more of these landing at the same time will trigger the respins feature and you start with three lives. Each time a special symbol lands, your three spins get replenished and they also offer a cash prize held until the end of the game. Fill the grid to land the Grand jackpot worth 10,000x.
3 scatter symbols on the central 3 reels will get you a 2x payout and 8 free games. Mystery symbols can lock on the screen for the entire bonus and reveal one of the regular paying symbols. You won't see any scatters land, so extra free spins aren't on the table and the crystal ball isn't present either, so you can forget about heading off to the Lion Link feature.
If the base game symbol wins aren't adjusted before the release date, then I'd have to advise everyone against playing this game! I can't believe that it's going to stay that way so I'm quietly confident regular wins will be fairly decent on the day. The two main features will enhance your rewards and you never know, completely filling the grid might just award you the 10,000x max win.
A large gold dragon, many a gold coin and various gold outlines to jackpots and reels is what to expect. It's not exactly subtle and I wouldn't call it beautiful! You can play on a range of devices, including mobile phones, and it's probably worth pointing out that the sound effects are very much in line with the casino floor cabinets, which leads you to believe that this has probably been transferred online rather than built purposely for this audience.
Two bonus games and five jackpot prizes always make a slot a tantalising option and as long as these symbol values are sorted out before going live, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't want a couple of spins on Lion Link Wealth of the Dragon.
