Fortune Dragon (Manna Gaming) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

For excitement, stacked symbols, increasing multipliers, free spins, and the chance of a jackpot, not to mention the all-ways-pay structure, Fortune Dragon is set to establish itself as a game of choice for slots players and fans of Asian-inspired slots. A high RTP, and an action-filled playing experience, could see Fortune Dragon make its way into the slots hall of fame.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack 

Fortune Dragon has all the theming you would expect from an oriental themed game. It does not break the mould in terms of innovation, but the graphics are clear and bright and will be recognisable to players of Asian themed games. The Golden Dragon that fills the screen whenever a big win lands is impressive and the creature that runs across the top of the reels occasionally is a bit of added fun.
The reels, with their ornate gold surround, sit atop a very peaceful looking misty forest in the background and the gentle music only gives an added feeling of zen to the ambience.
The controls, especially when played on a desktop, are clunky and difficult to navigate but this seems to be a feature with some Manna Play games.

How to Play Fortune Dragon

1. Check the game settings to ensure they are set to your liking. The music adds to the ambience of the game.
2. Choose your stake. You can bet between 0.20 and 300 per spin. Bet amount can be changed by pressing the ‘dollar’ symbol at the side of the start button. The win lines are set at 243.
3. You can choose to play at lightning speed but, be warned, it is seriously fast, and you will not get any of the excitement if 2 of the Bonus or Scatter symbols land. You can also stop the reels early, in normal speed mode, by pressing the start button again.
4. Decide whether you want to autoplay. You can select how many spins to autoplay between 5 and unlimited.
5. Hit the spinning blue button to start, channel your inner Zen and enjoy the game!
