Everyone can appreciate a Chinese dragon and if there’s one thing that’s preferable to a single dragon, it’s 8 Dragons which coincidentally is the title of this online slot machine from Pragmatic Play; there are some familiar oriental themes here along with some free spins so read on to find out more.

8 Dragons is a five reel slot with three rows and twenty fixed paylines; a delicate gold frame borders those reels while various instructions appear above to remind you what’s happening. There’s a delicate soundtrack provided by an appropriate stringed instrument.

The five high value symbols include stylised tigers, turtles and Koi, Chinese coins and gold ingots; 9, 10, J, Q, K and A represent the lower values. ll symbols may appear stacked on the reels.

The coiled golden dragon is wild, it appears on reels two, three and four and it will substitute for all others to help form winning combos except for the red envelope scatter symbol. The wild symbol is also two positions tall and if it’s fully visible it will multiply that win by 2x – it doesn’t need to be part of the win.

Bonus Features

Free Spins

This is triggered by landing three or more of the red envelope scatter symbols anywhere in view and you will be prompted to choose from the following free spins options:

• Five free spins + 8x, 10x or 15x wild multiplier
• Eight free spins + 6x, 8x or 10x wild multiplier
• Fifteen free spins + 3x, 4x or 6x wild multiplier
• Twenty free spins + 2x, 3x or 4x wild multiplier
• Mystery number of free spins + mystery range of multipliers

The wild multiplier is applicable if the whole wild symbol is in view but it doesn’t need to be part of the win. More spins can be awarded by landing three more scatter symbols during this round.

Verdict

8 Dragons contains enough small elements of originality to mark it out from the crowd – it has some nice graphics, a suitable soundtrack, an interesting free spins/wild feature and an RTP of 96.37%
