Gameplay and Mechanics

Reel Kingdom keeps the classic layout you are used to from Pragmatic Play. It takes a glance at the game screen to figure your way around the game. Below the reels, you have your control panel with all the buttons you need to play the game.

The spin button is positioned on the bottom right of the screen, with bet buttons on either side. Press these, and a pop-up menu appears that lets you select the number of lines you wish to place bets on and the number of coins per line. You have a minimum bet of 0.1, with the maximum one set at 100 Sweepstakes Coins.

Your game settings are at the bottom of the game screen, and you should press the menu button to access the full range of settings. Choose the amount of graphics you want for the game. This either speeds up the gameplay or slows it down for the full effect. This section also lets you choose what sound effects you wish to leave.

Symbols and Payouts

The Eastern theme carries on through the symbols. The highest paying symbol on the slot is the boat kite which pays 200 Sweepstakes Coins for five of a kind. Get five symbols of the peacock kite and win 100x your stake. The butterfly and head kites are the two other high-paying symbols. Face card symbols are the last four on the reels and the low-paying ones.

Bonus Features and Special Symbols

Like their collaborating studio, Reel Kingdom gives players a banging selection of bonus features. Even though the base game comes with a fair amount of thrills, the action is ramped up when you get to the bonus features.

Hold and Spin

The Hold and Spin bonus is an ingenious way to reward slot players first introduced by Aristocrat. For this feature, you have to land the golden coin symbol three times on the middle row. These then stay in place as symbols from the other reels fade away. The round starts with 3 respins. Land money symbols to reset the number of respins back to three as the value of the symbols collects through the round.

During the Hold and Spin round, a diamond money symbol appears on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5. Hit this, and a random value is taken from 100x to 4993x, your total bet. The Hold and Spin round guarantees players a minimum win of 20x their total bet. Players who don’t win this after their respins are done are awarded 3 more respins until they hit the win.

Free Spins

The game has a scatter symbol which is the dragon. This is the symbol to look out for to get to the free spins round. Hit three of these and trigger the round with 10 free spins. Get 4 scatters for 15 free spins and 5 scatters for 20 free spins. During this round, the wild symbol, which is the lady, collects all values from the fish money symbols that appear on the reels.

Collect wilds through the round, with each fourth wild retriggering your bonus round with 10 free spins. Remember, however, that retriggers come to an end after the third one. This also causes the multiplier on the fish money symbols to increase to 2x on the first retrigger, 3x on the third retrigger, and 10x the third time it retriggers.

Free spins that you get on a retrigger are played once your current batch of spins finishes, and the multipliers are only applied on the next round of free spins.

Fish Money Symbols

The game includes special symbols you will not find on any other slot. Fish symbols apply on the free spins round. Get these on the reels, and you win between 0.2x to 500x your bet. Think of the symbols as extra multipliers that will keep the big wins coming as long as you can get enough of them on a payline. Fish money symbols appear at the end of a round and replace random symbols.

Design and Graphics

Graphics and audio are a big part of slots. Reel Kingdom does a great job of keeping the sweepstakes slot eye-catching. The montage that introduces you to the game lets you know that the graphics are impeccable. In Floating Dragon, the reels float in the air with animations making it seem like the kites are gliding in the air as they spin across the reels. Chinese-inspired typography keeps the theme neatly put together so that nothing is off.

The music on the slot is a number with soothing zheng strings that remind you of the windy countryside. Sound effects for when you hit your wins enhance the experience and the anticipation for the reels to come to a stop. Reel Kingdom does a great job of honoring the Chinese Kite Festival with attention to detail that will leave slot fans with a great experience.

Conclusion

Playing slots, you rarely get titles that address a particular section of tradition across the world. Themes from different cultures are often glossed over with a few aspects featured. This is not the case with Reel Kingdom’s Floating Dragon.

The slot takes on one part of Chinese culture and sticks to this single piece of tradition in a brilliant way. The graphics and sound match the idea behind the game in every sense of the word. In addition to the impressive build, the game also affords players a lot of sweepstakes winning opportunities which is great to see.

You have lots of bonus features that come together on the free spins round to give you more chances to hit the maximum win. Insane multipliers also give players huge winnings whenever they spin the reels on the base game. This, coupled with high volatility, make Floating Dragon an ideal game for players who like jaw-dropping wins.

We did notice, however, that you don’t get a jackpot. Slots these days come with normal or progressive jackpots. Floating Dragon makes up for this with the high maximum win and the big multipliers you get on the base game and bonus round. While the game may not have a jackpot, it does get everything else right. Players will find the slot to be worth every Gold Coin or Sweepstakes Coin they wager.
