Mega Dragon

For a unique, China themed slot experience, players should check out Mega Dragon, an online slot game from Red Tiger Gaming. So what factors make this game unique, you might ask?

Mega Dragon Overview

Well, first there’s the large game board. Try 8 reels that have 7 vertical tiles per reel. Second, no set paylines. Casual and beginning players will love not having to keep up with thirty or more unrelated paylines to determine how much they are and should be winning. Instead, players win when they group symbols beside each other. And the third element that makes Mega Dragon unique? How about no bonus levels or free spins? That may not be something many players like about the game, but it’s definitely a different feature. Add all that with the great Chinese imagery and the dragons that fly around and reward players on the reel, and you have a number of reasons to take a shot at Mega Dragon.

Theme 

The clear theme of Mega Dragon is Chinese culture, much of which is ancient Chinese culture. The game board loads up with symbols of ancient and modern China. The board surrounds itself with Chinese themed columns and staging. The fogy background places the reels in the mountains where the Great Wall roams. Players start with 1000 credits. Bets run between 0.20 to 20 (bets are, of course, in Yuan). There are no paylines, so you obviously won’t be able to bet on them. Instead, players seek to cluster five or more of the same symbols together. The winning clusters are removed, allowing for more symbols to slide into the reels. Any new clusters formed from the new symbols add to player win totals as well.

Symbols and Features

Mega Dragon features 10 symbols. Listed in order from smallest to largest payout, the symbols are 10, J, Q, K, A, a banner, a medallion, connected gold pieces, and a golden hat. The wild symbol is the head of a dragon and can substitute for any symbol. But the best use of the Wild is the dragons that clustering Wild Symbols produce. When 2 or more adjacent wild symbols appear, they open up a gate to one of three dragons:

• The Golden Dragon- When the golden dragon appears, it will fly across the board and turn random symbols into wild symbols.
• The Green Dragon- When the green dragon appears, lower level symbols that are near higher paying symbols will turn to the same high paying symbol.
• The Red Dragon- When the red dragon appears, it turns high paying symbols into Mega Tiles. This only happens to high paying symbols, so you won’t be stuck wasting the red dragon on a lowly 10. Instead, the red dragon turns any of the four high paying symbols that it touches into a mega symbol that covers multiple tiles. And the red dragon doesn’t limit itself to a single type of symbol. It can change multiple different symbols into mega tiles (which covers four or more spaces). So all you need is one single symbol matching the mega tile to produce a win.

Conclusion

If you need multiple varying levels to keep you interested in the game, then Mega Dragon is not for you. You will stare at the same game board the entire time. But no paylines is a nice feature for those who get confused with games that have multiple paylines. The cluster feature for wins makes it really easy to see how you’re winning. And see big wins fall into your coffers as symbols fall down from above when clusters disappear. The dragon animation is pretty cool as well. So check out Mega Dragon if you want a unique, Chinese themed online slot experience.
