Dragon Kings

The Dragon Kings slot, a title produced by BetSoft, gives players a good mix of features and graphics. The gameplay is extremely feature-dense in terms of so much of the experience being about the varied number of features that are available, and this drives a ton of action. The volatility is a bit higher than average because of this, and that's made even more the case thanks to the way that the pay table is structured. You'll need to face a good amount of swings when you play this game, but they make it worth it with chances to win some pretty big payouts.

An Asymmetrical Layout

The core part of the game is pretty standard with five reels, three rows and 10 paylines. However, you'll notice that there is actually a sixth reel on the far right-hand side that only has one symbol on it. We'll explain what that's for down below because it has implications for multiple features. In terms of betting, you'll always have all 10 paylines activated with one coin on each line, and you can bet as much as $1 on each line with a minimum of $0.01. The betting range is $0.10 to $10 as a result. You'll notice that high rollers probably won't enjoy this game with its relatively low maximum bet size, but the vast majority of players will be fine with what's available.

Dragon Wild Symbols

There are actually five different wild symbols, and they're all dragons. What's arguably the most important to your value in this game is the dragon king, and he only shows up on the middle reel. He doubles every payout that he's a part of with a 2x multiplier, but he also expands to cover the entire reel every time he appears. This means lots of extra chances to win payouts that are even bigger than usual.

The blue dragon looks icy and will pay out an extra re-spin with all wild symbols held in place. The white dragon will expand horizontally one space either to the left or the right. With the black dragon, it has a 3x multiplier for any winning combination that includes it, and it can stack with the wild dragon king symbol to give total multipliers of 6x. Finally, there's the red dragon, and when it lands anywhere on the reels, it gives you an instant cash out win worth 400x. It's also worth noting that five of a kind of the wild dragon symbols gives a payout of 20x, which is a multiple of your whole wager.

Dragon Pearls and Free Spins

The dragon pearl is a scattered bonus symbol. Three or more get you free spins with six, 10 or 15 turns awarded for three, four or five of the symbol on the reels. However, if you also get a pearl on the special sixth reel, then it'll double the number of free spins that you get. On top of that, re-triggers for the free spins are available as well to give you more ways to get paid.

Payouts and Symbols

You can win one of four different jackpots by getting the dragon king along with a pearl on the sixth reel. The more dragons on the reels when you trigger this feature, the higher the jackpot you're awarded. Aside from that, a 10x win is yours for five of the golden ingot along with 5x for five of the koi fish. The green symbol earns 1.5x, and the golden coin gets you 1.5x as well. Wins of five of a kind for the red A and dark-blue K are worth 0.5x, and you can make it 0.25x for five of the green Q or blue J.

Overview

Dragon Kings is definitely a game designed for players who like a lot of action and a high volatility with big swings. There are a ton of features and ways to get big payouts, and while the pay table is somewhat balanced, the top jackpots kick the variance up quite a bit, so you can expect some reasonably large swings. The five wild symbols with different attached features is a lot of fun as well. Overall, we think that BetSoft did a solid job in producing a slot that has a higher volatility than most of its portfolio, which means that different types of players can get in on the action with games that fit what they're looking for.
