Golden Dragon Inferno Slot Features

The reels of Golden Dragon Inferno contain 8 pay symbols, divided into 4 low pays and 4 high pays. For low pays, there are card ranks from Jacks to Aces, and you can get up to 0.8x your bet for a full combination. For high pays, there are golden symbols of all kinds, and they all pay the same, which is 1.2x for a full combo. All symbols pay out even in sets of just two, which explains the game’s high hit frequency.

Special symbols include Wilds, Mystery symbols, Dragon Wilds and Bonus symbols. Wilds substitute for other pay symbols to complete winning combinations. They can appear on reels 2-5.

Mystery symbols can come as Stacked, and they will all reveal matching pay symbols once the reels stop spinning.

Dragon Wilds can land only on reel 3, and they work as Nudging Multiplier Wild Reels. When one appears, it will nudge up or down to cover the entire middle reel, and it will also give you a random win multiplier, which can be 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, or 10x. If you don’t get a win with the Dragon Wild, you’ll get one free respin with it held in place.

Landing 6+ Bonus symbols triggers the Hold and Win feature, which gives you 3 respins to begin with. Each new Bonus symbol then locks onto the board and resets your respins tally back to 3, allowing you to collect plenty of Bonus symbols.

Regular Bonus symbols are worth between 1x and 10x your bet, but you can also land Jackpot Bonus symbols. The three jackpots they can give you are called Mini, Minor, and Major, and they are worth 15x, 30x, and 200x your bet. Filling the entire board with Bonus symbols will then net you the Grand jackpot worth 2,000x your bet.

Review Summary

Golden Dragon Inferno offers fun gameplay features, opportunities for good wins, and a math model with a high hit frequency. Its visuals may not be groundbreaking, but they are solid.
