Theme
Chinese culture traditionally reveres dragons, which symbolise auspicious powers such as control over water, rainfall and floods. The dragon stands for strength and good luck for people who deserve it. Because of its important place in religion and mythology, the dragon was usually associated with the Emperor, and during the Qing dynasty, the imperial dragon was always depicted as golden or yellow.
Dragons and Pearls takes you on a journey back to these days of Ancient China, with golden dragon emblems, ancient treasures and glittering prizes. The low-value symbols are represented by the typical card symbols of J, Q, K and A, and then there are four other symbols of Chinese coins, treasures, and dragons to make up the higher values.
There are five reels, three rows and 25 paylines in Dragons and Pearls, with very flexible betting starting at $0.01 per line, meaning a total bet of $0.25 for each spin, and going all the way up to $0.50 per line, equating to a maximum total bet of $12.50 for each spin. There is also an autoplay feature available, so you can set the reels to spin without you.
Wilds, Free Spins and More!
The dragon’s pearl symbol acts as a scatter in this game, and if you can land three, four, or five of these anywhere on the reels, you’ll trigger the bonus feature. In the bonus game, you’ll be given a choice of dragons, and the one that you select will determine the number of free spins you have won, with a maximum of 10 free spins on offer.
Choosing a dragon will also reveal which of the base game symbols will be transformed into wild symbols for the duration of the free spins bonus round. These new wild symbols transform into pearls and can substitute for all other symbols except for the dragon’s pearl scatter symbol.
You can retrigger this bonus feature during your free spins game, and there is a handy counter in the top right-hand corner of the screen to display how many times you have retriggered the bonus game. The base game of Dragon Pearls also has the popular Gamble feature, which you can switch on and off in the settings menu in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
For each win you receive, you can choose whether you want to take the money or have a chance to double your winnings simply by trying to predict the colour of a face-down playing card. You can gamble your winnings up to five times in a row.
