Dragon Tiger

Overview of Dragon Tiger slot

Dragon Tiger is a slot that sees the developers at Pragmatic Play back where they are most comfortable with this gorgeous Asian themed slot. From the name alone most players will have a good idea at what the slot has in sore for them. Tigers and Dragons are two of the most highly sort characters from Chinese mythology. These creatures are also two of the stars of most Asian themed slots and most definitely take up the starring roles in Dragon Tiger the slot.

Theme & Design

Although the theme of Dragon Tiger is similar to various Chinese themed slots and it uses red and gold which is usual, Pragmatic Play have managed to get an ambience of opulence with this slot that makes it stand out for all if the right reasons, with this in mind I urge you to read on!

Game Play

You will be forgiven for thinking that Dragon Tiger has a struggle to hold its own when it first loads. It plays out over a 5-reel, 4-row game grid offering a massive 1,024 ways to win with some sensational tiger and dragon sculptures that are draped over the edges of the screen with the background that is stunning and shimmers as if the largest firecracker ever has been set off into the night sky. The Asian styled soundtrack is dramatic and is heavily laden with percussion to create a very fitting theme.
The slot can be played on all devices which is particularly useful if you want to be able to play on the go. When it comes to placing your bet there is a good range that starts from just 20p per spin up to a maximum of £100 per spin. When it comes to volatility the slot has been rated as a 4.5/5 and whilst not as volatile as other slots from this developer but still a high math model.

Whilst testing this slot I did find that the slot was well balanced with a bonus game that was activated reasonably frequently which made play even more interesting and returning some solid wins. It is worth noting that I was playing the slot with a return to player at 96.50% therefore make sure you check the return to player as a lower setting will lead to less generous results. Although this is a basic slot the free spins certainly make sure that things are spiced up a bit.

The 1,024 ways to win is another element that works in the Dragon Tiger’s favour, providing you can match three of the same symbols from left to right starting at the first reel and you will find you have yourself a winner. The only deviation is the arrival of the white tiger symbol. The saying goes that a tiger’s tail turns completely white on its 500th birthday, make a totally white tiger something truly mythical. Wins can come from the white tiger when you land two or more.

Symbols

The symbols you can expect to come across starting from the highest to the lowest are White Tiger, to Golden Turtle, Golden Frog, Golden Rabbit and Golden Fish then the usual playing card symbols 9 through to Ace. The golden dragon is the games wild with the logo being the scatter. If you land five of the premium symbols you will win 3x – 7.5x your bet. The wild will only appear on your 2nd, 3rd, or 4th reels and the wild can also replace all symbols apart from the logo scatter to create winning combinations.

Features

There is only one feature on offer in this slot but this is definitely a case of less is more and the feature is a free spins feature which is activated when you land three or more of the game logo’s scatter. When you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters you are rewarded with you will be rewarded with 8, 15, or 20 free spins plus a pay out of 2x, 10x, or 20x your bet respectively.

Whilst you are playing in the free spins feature you cannot help but notice that the action picks up speed predominately due to the wild change. The dragon wild will only land on your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reels but it also carries a random multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x. When the wild is used in a win the multipliers get multiplied and to give you some useful wins.

There is a meter that you will see above your reels and this will display the current multiplier that is in play on each spin. During the feature, the music crescendos to provide the slot with some additional passion. You can extend the free spins when you land two or more additional scatters and if you are lucky you might land 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatter and get to add 5, 8, 15, or 20 additional spins to your remaining total of free spins.

Final Thoughts

Pragmatic Play have an array of similar slots and Dragon Tiger is yet another to add to their expanding portfolio. This slot for me is a little middle of the road, and unless you are a real fan of Chinese based slots you may pass it by. However, you should at least look as it is an uncomplicated slot that can give you some excellent gaming. One thing I noted when testing the slot is that the free spins activate frequently, and wins came quite quickly.

Overall, Dragon Tiger from Pragmatic Play does a good job and I have based this merely on the frequency of the top pay outs and features. The aesthetics are beautiful and the soundtrack most befitting of this slot and add perfectly to the game’s ambience. For me, the slots rates as a solid 6.5/10, this score would have been higher with a few more features and ways to win.
