Dragon & phoenix Info & Features
Dragon & phoenix online slot
Do you love slots with a Chinese flair? Then you will surely like “Dragon & Phoenix” because of its Asian look. But can the game also convince with regard to its offered features? My review will tell you.
Design
As already mentioned, “Dragon & Phoenix” comes in a typical Asian look. But even if the design is quite pretty to look at, it seems a bit unimaginative overall. You just have the feeling that you have seen slots of this type countless times. Which is only reinforced by the ubiquitous playing card symbols, which actually have nothing to do with Asia. Every now and then there are some nice animations on the playing field, but you shouldn’t expect much more variety here.
Game principle
“Dragon & Phoenix” is a representative of the classic slot games with 5 reels on 3 rows, which in turn have 20 fixed paylines. If you want to win money here, you should manage to accumulate at least three identical symbols from left to right on a payline. Ideally, of course, there are five identical symbols. The dragon and the phoenix are particularly valuable in this game. Because both pay out 500 times the previous bet if you are present five times. The already briefly mentioned playing card symbols can safely be ignored due to their very manageable winnings. On the other hand, the medium-priced symbols such as the crystal ball, the dragon statue or the temple are much more interesting.
Other special features
What I liked about “Dragon & Phoenix” was that Betsoft gave the game several innovative features that significantly increase the fun and chances of winning.
Expanding wild symbol
The wild symbol in the game is a couple of emperors. This is able to substitute for all other symbols in the game except for the Scatter, thus triggering additional winning combinations. However, the wild symbol is really interesting when it settles on reels 2 and 5. Here it spreads to an expanding wild symbol over the entire reel and thus increases the chances of big money immensely.
Risk game
After each win you have the opportunity to use it in a risk game. You are betting on the side of a golden coin. If you guessed correctly, your winnings are doubled. If you’re wrong, he’s unfortunately gone.
Chinese lucky tree
The Chinese lucky tree acts as a scatter symbol and is responsible for triggering the free spins. If you manage to collect at least 3 scatters anywhere on the playing field, then free spins await you. Up to 15 in number are possible. However, the lucky tree has another property: the more often it appears on the field, the more extensively the previous bet is multiplied. However, this feature is only interesting when there are 5 scatter symbols on the playing field, as this small summary shows:
3 scatters: bet x 0.5
4 Scatters: Bet x 1.0
5 scatters: bet x 1.5
6 scatters: bet x 2.5
7 scatters: bet x 3.5
8 Scatters: Bet x 5.0
9 scatters: bet x 7.5
10 Scatters: Bet x 10.0
11 Scatter: Bet x 15.0
12 Scatters: Bet x 20.0
13 Scatter: Bet x 25.0
14 scatter: bet x 37.5
15 Scatter: Bet x 50.0
Admittedly, it is quite unlikely that only scatter symbols will land on the entire playing field. But the feature itself is quite interesting. By the way, after the scatters appear, they disappear, so that other symbols move up from above. Ideally, these can also bring you a nice profit. Too bad: The free spins round that starts after the scatter unfortunately does not differ from the actual main game.
Small and big missions
If you prefer to try “Dragon & Phoenix” in peace with small stakes, this is possible from a fair 20 cents. However, you can also risk a maximum of 20 euros per spin. If luck is on your side, the best-case scenario is that you can win up to 8,098 times your stake. With a single spin there are even 20,000 euros in it. The slot’s payout rate is 96.01%, which is just above the magic limit of 96%.
Conclusion
“Dragon & Phoenix” from Betsoft doesn’t exactly come with the most original design, but it convinces with its many features that enhance the game extensively. Above all, the Chinese Lucky Tree and the Expanding Wild Symbol. Only in the free spins round would one have wished for a little more variety compared to the main game. Otherwise, “Dragon & Phoenix” should definitely appeal to lovers of Asian slots.
