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

Dragon Wealth Slot Review

Keep on the lookout for the glowing eyes of the lucky dragon in this Asian-themed slots game from developer 3 Oaks. Set on a standard 5-reel, 4-row setup, the 25 paylines feature a variety of classic symbols of luck, wealth and prosperity in Chinese culture including lions, money trees and toads. With two bonus games to unlock, read on to find out more in our Dragon Wealth slot review below. 

Classic Chinese Symbols of Wealth

This 3 Oaks free slot doesn’t break new ground when it comes to slot imagery, as there is no shortage of online slots at casinos and websites throughout the world featuring Asian imagery. This is, in part, due to the enduring popularity of these symbols and their clear associations with wealth and prosperity. Dragon Wealth does a good job of using these clichés in a stylish way. 

Design and animations

Symbols are drawn in a good-looking cartoon style, with plenty of shining and glowing animations to emphasise the gold colour scheme. The bonus symbols feature subtle animations that look like they’re emanating energy, which makes them feel extra special. It all enhances an otherwise standard-looking slots theme. 

Soundtrack

As might be expected, traditional Chinese instruments playing pentatonic melodies are at the forefront of this soundtrack. There are some cinematic strings thrown in to add a bit of drama, which again fits the bill for enhancing an otherwise potentially stereotypical slots soundtrack.

Dragon Wealth RTP & Volatility 

Whether you're enjoying it in demo play or looking at online casinos, you’ll want to know the maths model of a slot before playing. While there isn’t official data, the estimated payout potential of this slot game is a 95.61% RTP, which is actually a bit below the average of 96% for contemporary slots.

Volatility

During demo mode testing, we found this to be a high-variance slots game. This means there can be long waits between wins and makes for a higher-risk playing experience, with the chance of bigger wins if they do land. 

How to Play Dragon Wealth

Try your luck with the dragon and get a head start by following our step-by-step starter guide:

1. Your balance, most recent win and current bet level are displayed along the bottom of the reels.
2. You can choose a bet by using the plus and minus symbols or selecting from pre-sets with the coin stack symbol.
3. The “i” button in the top right will give you the paytable, which covers winning symbols, win multiplier values and the base game and bonus rules.
4. The fast forward button to the top right lets you choose the speed of reel animations. 
5. The “A” button will begin autoplay until you press “stop”, so keep in mind there are no win or loss limit functions to control this.
6. Alternatively, use the spin button to the centre right to spin the reels once.
7. Always enjoy demo play slots responsibly by sticking to real-world win and loss limits, exiting the game as soon as it is no longer fun. 

How to Win at Dragon Wealth

There are 25 paylines in this slots game, and you need to match at least 3 winning symbols on one of the lines to score a win. Your total win is the combination of all winning lines, taking the highest on each, for a single spin. Symbols need to be matched from left to right, except for the bonus and scatter symbol that trigger the bonuses wherever they land.

Betting Options

Bets start from a minimum of 0.20 and go up to a maximum of 30.00, which should suit most players except the highest of rollers.

Max Win 

The max win in the game is the grand jackpot achieved in the hold and spin bonus, which awards x5000 the bet. Top win multiplier values for winning symbols can be seen below:

• X5 dragon awards x15 your bet
• X5 lion awards x8 your bet
• X3 toad awards x7 your bet

Dragon Wealth Bonuses 

The Dragon Wealth bonus features are a great aspect of this slots game, with two whole bonus rounds potentially up for grabs.

Wilds

These can appear anywhere on the reels and will substitute for all winning symbols, except the scatter and bonus, to help you form winning combinations. During the free spins bonus, they can also appear with multipliers attached.

Free Spins Bonus

Landing 3 or more of the scatter symbol will award 10 free spins, while landing an additional 3 will retrigger for 5 more free spins. Depending on how many scatters you land, you’ll also see x2, x3 or x5 multipliers on wilds for 3, 4, or 5 scatters respectively. 

Hold and Spin Bonus

Land 6 or more of the glowing bonus symbols in the base game to unlock the hold and spin bonus round. Only bonus and multiplier symbols will appear. When a multiplier lands, it applies to the reel it lands on and will be used when calculating the values displayed on the bonus symbols at the end of the round. This is also your chance to find the jackpots, where covering all available spaces will award the grand jackpot of x5000 the bet.
