Dancing Dragons review: introduction
The people of China are absolutely fascinated by dragons, which is why there are so many dragon-themed slots. Dancing Dragons is one of the games that take their influence from China, with players enjoying high-quality graphics and symbols with fun animations in this CT Gaming free slots. There are two scatter symbols that pay out in any position and a wild that can help to form more winning lines. The top payout is 120x your total bet.
Overall theme
As you have probably gathered from the name of this slot, it is one of the many dragon themed slots that are popular online. Much like the Dancing Drums online slot, the game takes its influence from Chinese mythology in which the dragon is a symbol of wealth and luck. The story that runs throughout the slot is based on one of the many Chinese festivals at which dragons play the main role.
The theme can be seen throughout the game, with the symbols depicting Chinese icons such as gold coins and fireworks. Behind the reels, players will see fireworks and even more dragons over the water as the festival takes place.

Dancing Dragons RTP and variance
Dancing Dragons has a slightly lower than average RTP of 95.70 per cent. With the industry average standing at 96 per cent, it has almost hit the standard we like to see from online slots. The variance has been set at low to medium. This is a great starter game for anyone who is new to slots, as wins will come in fairly often from the reels; however, you shouldn’t expect to see any large wins during the gameplay.
How to play Dancing Dragons
The controls for Dancing Dragons are bold and in your face, so they are pretty hard to miss; however, if you find yourself struggling with some of the controls, here is a quick overview of the various buttons and how to use them:
- You can set your bets by clicking the green cog in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. This displays the bet table, which is where you can adjust how much you want to bet per spin.
- Once your bet has been set, you can use the red spin button in the opposite corner to spin the reels once for your chosen amount.
- Your bet amount and cash balance are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
- Any other information for the game sits within the information menu, which can be accessed by clicking the big blue i in the top left-hand corner of the game screen.
Bet sizes & paytable wins
The betting range for Dancing Dragons is pretty pitiful and won’t impress anyone who wants to bet more than one coin on the reels. Bets start out at 0.01 coins and only go up to 0.50 coins. This is really disappointing and means the prizes aren’t great either.
Talking of prizes, you need to land symbols in matching combinations to receive any sort of payout in Dancing Dragons. You can land icons across a payline in either threes, fours or fives to receive a win from the game. Below we have given you the top payouts for landing five of each symbol within the game:
- Lantern, coins, fan, fireworks = 10 coins
- Gold dish = 20 coins
- Lion and dragon statues = 50 coins
- Buddha = 300 coins
Dancing Dragons bonus features
Bonus features is an area in which Dancing Dragons lacks massively. There are no bonus features such as free spins or random multipliers; instead, you get the basics with the wild symbol and two scatter symbols. If you want to find out more about these rather lacklustre features, you can see read about them below:
- Wild symbol
The wild symbol is represented by the dragon head, which is part of the Chinese costumes worn at festivals. It can rear its head on the second, third and fourth reels during the game and is very helpful as it can substitute for all other symbols within the game apart from the two scatter symbols, helping to create more wins.
- Scatter symbols
Interestingly, there are two scatter symbols in the game, which is pretty unique for an online slot. The first scatter is represented by the Chinese temple and can only land on the first, third and fifth reels. It will also only pay out if you land three; however, they can land anywhere on the reels. The reward is 20 coins.
The second symbol is the yin and yang icon. This also pays out for landing anywhere on the reels but you can land from three to five. If you achieve this, you will win three coins, 20 coins or 100 coins respectively.
Our verdict
We found Dancing Dragons quite disappointing overall. For a basic slot, we guess it is OK; however, for anyone who has been playing these slots for years, there is nothing to entice you. The prizes are low, there are barely any features to keep you engaged, and the theme isn’t anything special. Overall, we would advise you to look at some of the higher-rated slots if you want to play a game with this theme.
