Floating Dragon - Dragon Boat Festival

Floating Dragon - Dragon Boat Festival Review

The original Floating Dragon release became surprisingly popular, and now there is a third installment. Floating Dragon Boat Festival is quite similar to the original, but with some enhancements.

The visual style is familiar, but with a fresh theme. Cash fish prizes up to 10,000x can be won in the free spins round, which is also the capped max win, double the original game's offer. Some players can purchase both the FS round and the Hold & Spin feature. An Ante Bet is included. Floating Dragon Boat Festival is preferred over the original for these additions.

Floating Dragon Boat Festival Slot Features

Premium symbols pay between 20 and 200 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The lady Wild symbol can appear to substitute for pay symbols, but not for scatter and money symbols. The fish pay symbol also serves as a money symbol worth up to 10,000x.

The Hold & Spin Bonus Round triggers with 3+ regular (not fish) money symbols, with values between 1x and 2,000x your stake. Triggering money symbols become sticky, and you start with 3 respins.

Triggering symbols add their values to your total win, and so do new money symbols that land. New money symbols do not become sticky, but reset the respins to 3. Total win is summed and paid when respins run out.

The Free Spins Bonus Round triggers with 3, 4, or 5 scatters, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. The Lady Wild acts as a Collector symbol, collecting all Fish Money symbols. The Wild itself is collected in the trail, and +10 extra spins are awarded per 4 collected wild symbols.

You can win the +10 extra spins 3 times, also granting an x2, x3, and x10 multiplier for all cash fish wins. The multiplier activates with the new spin batch, and you cannot win extra spins after the 3rd retrigger. A Dragon can appear with at least 1 Wild Collector but no money fish, adding money fish to the grid.

The Ante Bet feature can be turned on for 50 % more per spin, increasing scatter likelihood and bonus round chances. Some players can purchase bonus rounds for 100x the stake. The bonus round has a hit rate of 1 in 233 spins without the Ante Bet.

The 200 Spins Floating Dragon Boat Festival Slot Experience

A brief taste of the base game, followed by a free spins round purchase at 0:36. 15 free spins were received from 4 triggering scatters, then the Hold & Spin feature was purchased at 4:21.

Review Summary

The original Floating Dragon has proven surprisingly popular. Floating Dragon Boat Festival remains more faithful to the original than the Megaways release, doubling the fish money symbol values and potential.

You can win up to 10,000x your stake from a fish symbol, but the overall max win is higher in Floating Dragon Megaways. Floating Dragon Boat Festival offers fans of the original more of the same with a larger potential. It's a remake, but the Ante Bet and Bonus Buy features may be advantageous in some areas. If the first game was enjoyed, Floating Dragon Boat Festival should also be appealing. The Megaways version is available for an even larger experience.
