Eastern Dragon

Eastern Dragon is a slot game coming from NextGen Gaming with 20 paylines and 5 reels. I have played this slot a number of times mostly because I like slots that have an Asian theme. There is always something calm and relaxing in these games, like the music here for instance in the bonus round. Also this slot has a rather slow game play so you can spend a lot of time playing here without getting bored. Playing slow does have its advantages, so you can control your bankroll and bet size here better than on fast slots. When I find myself playing some fast slot I can lose a lot of bankroll chasing a bonus feature without even realizing it.

The slot has a descent paytable. Two of the main symbols have a max payout of 3000 and 1000 coins for a 5 of a kind combination. This is not so bad compared to some other slots from this provider. The wild symbol here is a dragon and he lands only on reels 1 and 5. He also doubles a win when he lands in a winning combination. The scatter symbol here doesn’t trigger any bonus and just multiplies your bet. This is one of the few games where the wild symbol is responsible for the bonus feature.

When you get a wild symbol on reels 1 and 5 you are awarded with 15 free games and all wins are tripled. Every win with a wild in the free spins is multiplied by 6 and the free spins can be retriggered. Overall you can have some nice wins here. The most I have won in this slot is 50 x bet in the free spins bonus. Somehow I don’t have much luck playing this slot.

I think that this game lacks more features, maybe the wild symbol expanding or also landing on the central reel. I don’t like games where the bonus is triggered like this. Sometimes it seems impossible to win the feature and some descent wins.

And that would be my favorites, even more favorite slots to play the WGS video slot, which I am huge fan of them. Before I found Netent casino games this slot were my number 1, well they still are, but lately I didn’t play them with my money, although I am playing them every day in the freeroll tournaments which WGS casinos are offering 7 days a week, without any deposit included.

So this Eastern Dragon slot I have been playing it for long time and I really like the game, because I had some good winnings on it, especially when the free spins arrives. The theme about this slot it’s about the Chinese New Year and all the symbols on the reels are connected with Asian theme, like the Dragon symbol, Scatter, the lotus flower, the coin symbol which is the scatter one. The Dragon symbol islanding only at the first and 5th reel so getting both of them on the reels, then you will be rewarded with 15 free spins which are x 2 multiplier, but also this Dragon is a wild symbol, so he will substitute all the other symbols on the reels except from the scatter coin symbols. So the scatter symbol won’t give you any free spins as a regular scatter it will just multiplier your bet X 2.

I like this game, and the last time I played it, was 3 weeks ago when I made small deposit of 15 euros at Intertops Casino classic so this slot has raised my balance to 88 euros, which I raised the bet after the free spins feature I got and lost all the money. Well there will be next time, so yes I do recommend this slot, actually 80% of the WGS games, just because I like them and just because the fact I had biggest winnings made in this kind of slots .

Eastern Dragon is a game that I find myself playing when I run out of options. It is a good game over all but most of the times it gives small pays. I play it on 888 and the minimum bet there is €1. It is pricey, but when you get line hits the pays are way better. The game has 20 lines and only one feature. It is a free spins feature and triples your bet in the spins. Sometimes I'll open this game and it will start spitting out some great wins. Once I had around €10 left on my account and I started playing this game. In a couple of spins I got the feature and made over €120 on it.

The thing that I like is that to get the feature you only need to get the dragon on the first and last reels. It also acts as wild, so you can also hit a good line hit and get the feature.

The graphics and the sound effect in the game are also very good and I enjoy playing it. The theme of the game is also nice and invites the player to the game.

Most of the pays in the game are small and you end up getting less that you expect. It also would have been better if this game had more lines. Sometimes I get wilds on all reels but not on a payline and it kills the buzz.

The stop button would have worked perfect on this game too. I am sure I would have caught feature many times with double tapping. The game play is a bit slow and I like fast games better. The game would have been more interesting if there was a bonus feature. I think the games with two features are more popular and keep players more entertained. Over all an ok game that can pay out sometimes. My rating 6 out of 10.
