Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin Slot Guide

After a series of mainly fruit-themed Hold & Spin titles, Pragmatic Play is back with Floating Dragon Megaways, a new online slot created in collaboration with Reel Kingdom. This Asian-themed game has a traditional 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 active paylines on the reels, and starts from as little as 20c a bet. With its popularity soaring on sites like Hollywoodbets Spina Zonke, our detailed Floating Dragon Slot Review offers you some good insights into the features of this fascinating slot as well as where and how to play in South Africa.

Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin Theme

Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin sweeps you away to a serene environment where an Asian kite festival is underway somewhere in the Far East. The beautifully animated reels are set against the backdrop of a moody sky filled with colourful kites in the form of birds, butterflies, fish, and of course, the famous floating dragon. The dreamlike world of this game is further enhanced by the gentle and soothing sound of wind instruments in the background, which feels incredibly surreal. The game itself is similar in gameplay to Big Bass Bonanza.

Floating Dragon Hold & Spin Bonus Features

No slot would be complete without some handy Bonus Features, so here’s what you can expect to find in Floating Dragon Hold & Spin:

Hold & Spin: Let’s start with the Hold & Spin feature which is integral to the gameplay in Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin (the game name should make that obvious). This bonus round is triggered when you land three gold coin symbols on the middle reel, which are also worth up to 20x your bet. You are initially awarded 3 re-spins but each time a new gold coin lands on the screen, the number of re-spins remaining resets to 3 again.

Free Spins: This feature is triggered by hitting 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. The number of Free Spins awarded depends on how many scatters you land:

• 3 Scatters – 10 Free Spins
• 4 Scatters – 15 Free Spins
• 5 Scatters – 20 Free Spins

During Free Spins, Wilds can land and collect the cash value of all the money fish symbols on the screen. For every 4 Scatter symbols collected, you’ll receive a larger multiplier and more Free Spins. The first, second and third Scatter symbols collected will increase your bet multiplier to 2x, 3x and 10x respectively, plus 10 more Free Spins are given each time.

Diamond symbols: During Re-spins, diamond symbols worth between 100x and 5,000x can land on the reels randomly as a kind of jackpot. If your Re-spins end before you’ve won 20x your stake, 3 more Re-spins are instantly awarded.

Floating Dragon Bonus Buys

In most games, Pragmatic Play allows you to pay your way to Free Spins and more if you so wish. The Floating Dragon Megaways slot has two bonus buy options, where players can either purchase Free Spins or the special Hold & Spin Feature. 

• Free Spins Bonus Buy: Your first option is to buy 10 Free Spins at a cost of 100x your stake. For perspective, the cost is equivalent to 100 standard spins and this feature is naturally triggered by landing three Scatters in the base game. However, there is no option to buy 15 or 20 Free Spins which would usually be triggered by hitting 4 or 5 Scatters respectively.
• Hold & Spin Bonus Buy: This Bonus Buy option is more expensive than the standard Free Spins at 120x your stake. The opportunity to collect gold coins worth up to 20x makes this bonus superior to the Free Spins and justifies the extra cost. Landing three gold coins triggers the bonus round. To begin, you’ll get 3 re-spins, but when a new gold coin lands, your remaining re-spins resets to 3 again.
