Dragon's Treasure (CQ9) Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

The dragon’s eye appears on reel 3 and triggers 12 free spins.

Introduction 

This game is one for the connoisseur ready to take a gamble. CQ9 stick to their eastern theme with the dragon taking centre stage - literally, as all the action takes place on reel 3 of this 1x5 reel set. 

There is a wild symbol that only appears on reel 3 and substitutes for all symbols except the dragon's eye. The latter triggers free spins, and during this phase, any wild landing will activate a multiplier and the dragon will decide what it is, with a maximum reward of X5000. The multiplier is completely random. The base number of free spins is 12 and these cannot be re-triggered.

There are seven paying symbols available. In order of value, they appear on the reels as follows:diamond, emerald, amethyst, ruby, sapphire, jade and rose quartz.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

As we would expect from CQ9, this slot is fundamentally aimed at the Asian market, where they have made their name. The dragon plays a major role on the centre reel. A jewel clutched in its claw is the wild, and the dragon’s eye triggers free games.

Working with just one reel and seven paying symbols, the designers have not exactly had their work cut out shaping the gems that make up the pay table, but they have done a fine job. The symbols gleam against a black velvet backdrop, as if they were sitting in a jeweller’s display cabinet. The single row of symbols is framed in a sturdy stone setting, and the eponymous dragon gazes down from the top left corner of the screen.

The whole image has a backdrop of the dragon’s cave, with light being cast in from a gap above. The dragon leaps into action when deciding the multiplier, blowing a roulette-style wheel to decide how large or small the multiplier is.
The soundtrack is normally where this designer excels, and Dragon’s Treasure is no exception. A doom-laden track is the choice, worthy of any sci-fi movie, and this is overlaid with the sound of a classic land-based slot spinning as the action takes place.
If this theme appeals to you as a player, take a look at a game that boasts medium volatility, 20 pay lines and an RTP of over 96% and try the Dragon's Throne slot available here at Slots Temple.

Dragon's Treasure (CQ9) Review 

You have to be a fan of the curious in this game. The one-row, five-reel setup is not exactly a design that will appeal to everyone. The designer has set a huge betting spread to lure as many players in as possible, but it is still a big ask. 
We suggest you have a quick look at it to decide if it might be for you, and we think you might be surprised. All the action takes place on the centre reel with wilds and free spin surprises.
