Provider:
Amatic
A Dragon tall enough to fill a reel, doubling any line it helps complete, is the only lift on offer here, since Amatic left free spins out entirely. Over 380 spins at 10 credits my balance kept 84% of where it started, and the best hit reached 29x the stake.
In reality, Wild Dragon is a 5x3, 10 fixed payline slot. I played 380 spins at 10.00 credits a spin, and the biggest single win was 290.00 on spin 340, 29x the stake. Its expanding, win-doubling wild is boosting line wins. The Dragon can expand to cover its whole reel and complete wins on several paylines at once, an expanding wild of the kind Amatic also builds Grand Tiger around.
Numerically, Wild Dragon carries an RTP of 96.85% and a medium volatility maths model. Against that, my session returned 58.9%, with 2,239.00 won back from 3,800.00 wagered and a longest run of 20 spins without a win.
Wins are formed when identical symbols land left to right along one of the paylines, and Dragon wilds substitute for all regular symbols except the Pearl scatter. The Pearl pays anywhere on the reels once three or more land, independent of the paylines, with a top scatter payout of 50x the total bet. There are six standard pay symbols. Dragons also form their own line combinations, and five of them are the highest-paying combination in the game at 100x the total bet. From lowest to highest, I encounter the Flower, then the Fish, Altar, Lion and Turtle, and the Phoenix, which is worth 20x the wager for a five symbol combination. The Fish, Altar, Lion and Turtle each pay up to 15x the total bet, and five Fish on a line returned exactly that on spin 145, 150.00 on a 10.00 stake.
Final Minty Score: The label says 96.85% and my 380 spins came back at 58.9%, with no free spins round anywhere in the game to make up the gap later. The best hit I saw was 29x the stake, a long way under the 400x cap, so the Dragon doubling the lines it finishes was the only thing lifting the balance at all.
Wild Dragon ships with two features. There is no free spins round, so the base game carries the whole return. They are the Dragon wild and a Gamble. The Gamble is the same colour-or-suit card game found in Amatic's Hot Seven: after any win, a correct colour guess doubles the win, a correct suit guess quadruples it, and a wrong guess loses it.
The win is doubled if a line win is completed with a Dragon. With Fish on line 3 and Dragons expanded on reels 3 and 4, the game reads the result as "Line 3: win 20x2" and pays a total of 80 on a 10 stake.
Wild Dragon is as plain as any other 10 payline slot.
