Dragon Gate - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Love cute sea life? Love oriental slots? Get the best of both in the cute but deceptively rewarding Dragon Gate. Crabs, fish and shells guide you towards the purple Gate, where there’s nothing fishy about the rewards on offer.

This game is free to play in demo mode and we think you should take advantage of this before you decide to play for real at an online casino.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Well the game’s sound effects are quite cool, especially the win jingle, but there is no actual soundtrack beside these. So if you want to stick to the oriental theme, there are many options you could consider. Obviously you could opt for traditional oriental music or currently popular K-Pop. If you’re a bit more grown up however, and want something more soothing, artists from East Asia have been at the forefront of the recent synthwave movement.

The game’s characters are cute, not to mention benevolent. If you used to be a fan of those Christmas cracker red cellophane fish that curled up in your hand, you’ll probably have a soft spot for the pair of red fish acting as Scatter icons.

Dragon Gate RTP & Volatility

The RTP of Dragon Gate is 94.3%.

The volatility for Dragon Gate is unknown. So keep an eye on your incomings and outgoings and make your own judgement. Also keep an eye on the Wintrack feature which shows your wins/losses/features throughout the game.

Bonus Features

Wild Multiplier

If you can encourage your water based friends to swim toward the purple gate, you could be in for some fortuitous multipliers. The rewards are as follows for reeling them in:

0x = 3x multiplier
1x = 4x multiplier
2x = 5x multiplier
3x = 6x multiplier
4x = 7x multiplier
5x = 8x multiplier

Scatter Fishes

This games uses two red fish as the scatter symbol, and the rewards for catching them on the reels are as follows:

5x = 100x total bet plus 12 free games
4x = 20x total bet plus 12 free games
3x = 5x total bet plus 12 free games
2x = 2x total bet

These really are some lucky red fish, because if three or more of the pairs of red fish land anywhere on the reels it will trigger the Free Games Feature.

If you catch three or more when you’re already in a Free Games round, the feature is retriggered with an additional 12 free games.

Our Verdict

Dragon Gate is very different to titles typically released in the dragon themed slots genre. The graphics are crisp and it relies on lovable characters rather than tradition or any icons especially synonymous with oriental culture.

The Wild multipliers and Scatter rewards may not venture into any particularly groundbreaking territory but they are solid features and if you’re lucky enough to land the maximum combinations they’ll certainly boost your winnings.

Plus, although the game is as yet unrated for volatility, there is a useful feature in the form of a Wintrack. This should allow players to decide for themselves how well they’re doing and enable them to make good decisions around bet amounts and length of play.
