Gameplay Overview

How to Play Floating Dragon Wild Horses

This slot has 5 reels and 3 rows, where you can win by landing 3 or more matching symbols on the 10 fixed paylines in the base game. In the free spins round, you also have other options to win thanks to Wild and money symbols, so these bonus features are the core of big payouts in this game.

You can use autoplay with 10-1000 auto spins and also select turbo spin, quick spin, and skip screens if you wish to play faster. The minimum bet starts at $0.10, while the maximum is $250. The bet can be selected using “-” and “+” buttons next to the play button with the “Reel Kingdom” symbol on it. The game is optimized for any device, including mobile phones.

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) is 96.5%, so you expect a $96.5 return in the long term, but keep in mind that the game also has high volatility; therefore, don’t expect frequent small wins, but big wins can occur suddenly, especially during free spins.

Symbol Payouts

Each symbol pays out according to your bet by landing at least 3 of them, except for the golden tree, which pays out when landing only 2.

Symbol	Payout
Golden tree	200x, 20x, 5x, 0.5x
Sycees	100x, 15x, 3x
Lantern, envelope	50x, 10x, 2x
Golden coin	20x, 5x, 1x
Ace, King	10x, 2.5x, 0.2x
Queen, Jack, 10	5x, 1x, 0.2x

Bonus Features

Money Symbols

Money symbols are golden coin symbols, which pay like other regular symbols in the base game, but in the free spins round, they also act like special money symbols with random values of: 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 200x, 500x, or 5,000x per bet. Their values can be collected with Wild symbols.

Wilds and Scatter Symbols

There are 2 types of Wild symbols, which are available only in free spins rounds: a wild horse and a woman, who looks like a Chinese elite. Both Wilds substitute for all symbols, except for scatters and money symbols, meaning that they help to form additional wins.

Scatter symbols look like a red dragon and appear on all reels, both in the base game and the free spins round. When you hit 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, you are awarded with 15, 20, or 25 free spins. Additionally, when 2 Scatters appear in the base game, the game helps you to trigger a free spins round by random features, such as:

• Randomly, paper lanterns might appear and reveal another Scatter.
• Also randomly, if the Scatters can move down one position without leaving the screen, reels without Scatters respin, giving the 3rd Scatter a chance to appear, which triggers the free spins round.

Free Spins Round

During the free spins round, when Wilds appear, each of them collects the values from all money symbols. For example, if you land 2 wild horses and 2 money symbols with 1,000 value of each, your total payout will be 4,000 (2,000 + 2,000) for that spin. Afterwards, each Wild is added to its separate meter above and below the grid.

In the normal free spins round, when you land the same type of 4 Wilds filling the meter, you are awarded with 10 additional free spins and the multiplier of 2x for that Wild, which will multiply the future money symbols’ values. For the next level, you receive a 3x multiplier, and on the last level, you receive a 10x multiplier. 10 free spins are awarded on each level.

After reaching a 10x multiplier on one Wild, you cannot retrigger the feature unless you land an enough number of a second type of Wild (either horse or woman).

Random Modifiers

The free spins round also features the random modifiers, which help to form a payout. This can be:

• Folding fans spin feature: When there is a Wild, but no money symbols, the coins appear randomly.
• Paper lanterns: When there are money symbols, but no Wilds, Wilds appear randomly.
• Firecrackers: When there are Wilds and no coins on the screen, firecrackers change all symbols on the screen (except for Wilds) into something else.

Bonus Buy Options & Ante Bet

To trigger free spins, you can purchase the Ante Bet or Bonus Buy option or land 3 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels.

Ante Bet costs 1.5x your bet and increases your chance of triggering the normal free spins round, but does not guarantee it; during Ante Bet, you cannot use the bonus buy option.

There are 2 types of bonus buy options to buy either normal or super free spins rounds. The normal bonus buy costs 100x your bet and guarantees at least 3 Scatters appearing and triggering the feature; however, you need the same 4 Wilds to fill the meter and retrigger the feature, so this option works similarly to Ante Bet and Scatters triggering the round.

With Super Free Spins, you need only 3 Wilds on the meter, so retriggering the feature is easier, but this option costs 300x your bet.

Pros & Cons
