Golden Dragon Inferno Slots
Golden Dragon Inferno is an exciting slot by Betsoft Gaming. It's a simply designed slot, with five reels and a massive 243 different ways to win. The theme of this slot focuses on eastern asian aesthetics and mysticism. The game grid is laid against a rich, dark red backdrop. The game grid is framed by spiraling golden structures, and tons of gold is found within the symbols on the reel, but we'll get into that later in more detail. There are four jackpots located at the top of the game grid, and these jackpots are mini, minor, major and grand.
Basics
Playing this actual game is pretty simple. There is a control panel located at the bottom of the game grid, and that's where you can adjust your bet. To lower or raise your bets, use the plus or minus buttons. There is a manual spin and an auto spin button as well. You can choose the number of automatic spins you want to set the game for. If you press the little 'I' you can browse through their information page, which has the rules of the game, a pay table and a place to adjust the game settings.
Symbols
The wild symbol is the fire symbol, and this symbol will be obvious as it also reads 'wild' directly on it. This symbol can substitute for all other symbols to form winning combinations, apart from the jackpot symbol and the blank symbol. The wild symbol appears on reels two, three, four and five only. There are also Stacked Mystery Symbols. Each reel contains one of these symbols, and this position will be replaced with a single random symbol after the reel spin is complete. All mystery symbols will be filled with the same symbol per spin. Apart from these special symbols, there are also premium symbols and lower paying symbols. The golden Buddha is the top paying regular symbol, and this symbol pays 2.40x your bet for a match of five. The other symbols are the golden bowl, the golden turtle and the golden fish, all of which pay 2.40x your bet for five. The lowest-paying regular symbols are the J, A, K and Q symbols which pay out 1.60x your bet for a match of five.
Special Features
The dragon symbol is the wild reel, and appears on reel 3 only. While you're playing the base game, a stack of the wild reel appears partially, and it'll nudge up or down to create a full Wild Reel on reel three. The full wild reel will also award a random multiplier, and that multiplier will range between 2x your bet and 10x your bet. The Multiplier Wild Reel can substitute for all symbols as a regular wild symbol. If you don't trigger any wins from the Multiplier Wild Reel, you'll have a second chance when the symbol is activated on reel three while a respin occurs. Keep in mind the Hold & Win bonus cannot be active at the same time as the Nudging Multiplier Wild Reel.
If you land six or more bonus symbols, you'll trigger the Hold & Win bonus where you might win one of the jackpots. The round begins with 3 respins and each time a new bonus symbol hits the grid, it'll lock in place and the respins will reset back to three again. The feature ends when you run out of respins, or when all fifteen positions on the grid are filled with bonus symbols. The biggest jackpot is the Grand Jackpot, which awards a prize of 2500 credits. Thanks to the jackpots, and the abundance of special features, this game is one of the best Asian mythology based slots out there. I'd give it a high rating and recommend it to most experience and none experienced slot players.
