Golden Dragon Inferno Bonus Features
Wild
This symbol can appear only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Stacked Mystery Symbols
After the reels have finished spinning, one random symbol will be placed in each of the Stacked Mystery Symbol slots on each reel.
Nudging Multiplier Wild Reel
On reel 3 during the main game, a golden dragon may show up. A full wild reel will be created by a partial golden dragon that will move up or down. Any of the following multipliers—2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, or 10x—are given at random when a reel is fully covered. The Multiplier Wild Reel is retained in place and given a free respin if there is no winning combination.
Hold & Win Bonus
This feature is activated by 6 or more Bonus Symbols anywhere on the reels. The symbols that activate this feature remain in their places and you start with 3 re-spins. The amount of respins is reset to three with each new symbol that falls on the playing field. Regular bonus symbols have a payout range of 1x to 10x the original wager. The payout for the Mini symbol is 15 times the wager. Minor pays 30 times the wager. Major pays out 200 times the wager. The Grand Prize of 1000 times the stake is awarded when all 15 slots are filled during this feature. This feature cannot be activated simultaneously with the Nudging Multiplier Wild Reel.
Our Experience Playing Golden Dragon Inferno
When we started the game, we saw a reelset that looked pretty straightforward and simplistic and heard wonderfully composed Oriental music. The first impression was not enough for us to recommend you playing this slot, we had to test it how it does in terms of payouts. To do this we made a deposit of 375 Euros, set the bet to 1.25 Euros, and were planning to give it around 300 spins. During the first one hundred spins, almost a full field of carps paid us 27 Euros which we thought was quite alright and this was the only decent payout. The next one hundred spins were filled with small wins almost every spin, but nothing too exciting. We hoped to trigger the Hold & Win feature at least once to see how it paid in our final one hundred spins, and we were lucky to do so. We were fortunate enough to collect one Mini and one Minor bonus symbols in addition to a few regular bonus symbols which resulted in a payout of 65 Euros. Overall, we lost around 50 Euros over the course of our playthrough and left the game with mixed feelings.
Golden Dragon Inferno Verdict
The Hold & Win Bonus feature and the Nudging Wild Multiplier are two features that are intended to draw players into this very plain video slot. Even while the hit frequency is very high and may be fun to some, watching modest rewards practically every round quickly grew tiresome for us. The Hold & Win Bonus feature seemed to be the only thing that might salvage this slot in our eyes, but we only activated it once over the course of 300 spins, which was not very profitable. Our view is that there are more superior Asian-themed slots, such as Koi Princes that are worth your time and money more than this one.
