Wild Symbol – Lands on the topmost row and can replace any other symbol in a winning combination, except for the Scatter, Lady, and Coin Symbols.

Fish Money Symbol – This symbol takes a random value from 2x to 5000x total bet. In the base game, the Fish Money symbol explodes and tumbles just like any other symbol, and in the Free Spins round, it falls to the bottom of the reels in a tumbling session.

Mystery Symbol – The Mystery Symbol lands both in the base game and Free Spins round and transforms into a random paying symbol in the base game and in the Free Spins round it randomly transforms symbols into Fish Money Symbols when the Lady Symbol hits but no Money Fish Symbols are present on the reels.

Scatter Symbol – Taking the form of the majestic dragon, this symbol hits on all reels and triggers the Free Spins.

Lady Symbol – Appears only during the Free Spins and lands on the topmost row, and collects the Fish Money Symbols, redeeming their cash value.

Coin Symbol – Appears on all reels except the topmost row and takes a random value from 1x to 2000x total bet.

Diamond Symbol – The Diamond uses the same mechanics as the Coin Symbol, just with higher values – from 50x to 2000x.

Tumble Feature – A classic feature in Pragmatic Slots, this mechanic enables wins to keep going as once winning combinations pay out, they fall away to make way for fresh symbols than can contribute to news winning combinations and so on!

Free Spins – This round can be triggered with at least 3 Scatters and dependant on how many Scatters hit, award 15, 20, and 25 Free Spins. In this exciting round the Lady Symbol is the one you should keep an eye out for as it collects the values of all Fish Money symbols in view. For every 4 Lady Symbols that hit 10 extra Free Spins and a multiplier for the Fish Money symbols are awarded to the player. This can happen up to three times, with the rewards increasing each time! There’s also a chance for a lucky firecracker to go off, revealing more fish for the Lady to collect, if she appears, but no fish are around to be caught!

Ante Bet – Enabling the Ante Bet activates a 30x bet multiplier, which causes the gameplay to produce more Scatters, as mentioned above.

Hold & Spin– This is another pretty unique mechanic that we’ve only seen in titles such as Big Bass Hold & Spinner Demo. At least 3 Coin symbols on the reels will trigger all standard symbols fading away, leaving only Coins symbols on the reels. You’ll have 3 tries to spin the reels and land coin symbols as they reset the count back to 3. All values of Coin symbols are added to the total win of the round so you’ll be in for some truly epic payouts in this exciting mechanic. The mighty dragon would never let his guests going home empty handed, so a minimum win of 20x total bet is guaranteed!

Buy Free Spins – For 100x the current total bet, you can enter the Free Spins round immediately using the Buy Free Spins Feature on the land hand side of the screen.

Buy Hold & Spin Feature – Just like the Buy Free Spins Feature, you can unlock the Hold & Spin round but purchasing it for 120x the current total bet.

Betting starts at € 0.20 and can go up to € 360 for a more adrenaline-filled experience. The max win is capped at 20,000x. The RTP sits at a solid at 96.70%. The game has high volatility that dishes out wonderful wins those brave enough to roll with the dragons.

Visually, this game does not disappoint. With so many features, we were scared that the aesthetic of the game may not be notices but luckily, this was not the case. The game layout reminded us of Triple Tigers Demo – another slot with a distinct oriental feel and solid gameplay. Set in a day-night cycle between base game and Free Spins round, the beautiful village of the floating dragon shines brightly during play. The symbols are well crafted, and the music compliments the atmosphere of the game. Bigs wins are accompanied by the surge of exciting music, further elating lucky players that land themselves with a great payout!

For a game with so many features, Floating Dragon New Years Festival Ultra Megaways still manages to provide easy gameplay that players can follow and enjoy. From tumbles to collecting coins, players will have their hands full this new year as they discover the countless ways to win on this Pragmatic exclusive.
