Ride the River Dragons

Genesis Gaming's River Dragons is another one of those Chinese-themed games which at first seem designed to appeal to Westerners who are fascinated by the Orient but are really designed to appeal to the large Chinese slots-playing public. River dragons, while quite meaningless to players in the West, are a very popular Chinese theme.

The tidal bore of the Qiantang River is often referred to as the black or silver river dragon, and from this, the legend of the serpent beneath the bore has come to life. The bore, which is sometimes so strong as to be comparable to a small tsunami, was so fierce in ancient times that King Qian was famous for instructing his troops to attack it with spears in an attempt to kill the river dragon. However, in more recent times, the river dragon has become a symbol of luck and protection, as people have realised that the tide delivers nutrients to the fields along the river and also that it protected the area from invasion.

The Game

With its feet firmly planted in the river dragon mythology, this game enchants players from the start with the sounds of nature and strings, which could be used in a spa or massage room. The symbols all appear hand-painted too, and as you begin to play they drop nicely in their animated way into place.

The game is straightforward: you simply need to make combinations of three, four or five to collect prizes, and look out for the free spins bonus round which is delivered by the scatter. The mountain symbol is a scatter and offers up to 15 free spins. They are also cumulative, so you can land more free spins during your free spins round.

During this round, the music takes it up a notch and plays you a dance to keep you spinning - and if you pause on your spinning, it decides to spin for you. Maybe the band isn’t prepared to play while you go off and do something else. Who knows? But what really makes these spins valuable is the expanding wilds.

The River wilds, which show up as clouds, drop over all the spaces to create a great winning potential. What's more, the relatively low variance of the game makes it very easy for players to get into the free spins round, and with a great mobile and tablet interface, it’s a game which just keeps giving, like our other free slots.
