Review of Dragon's Temple
This game affords you the adventure of experiencing the Dragon Temple amidst a forest engulfed in the red sunset, noticeable beyond the reels on the screen.
Slot Theme
Enter the mystical and mythological land of Chinese folklore and legend, where the dragon is very much alive. Dragons symbolise potent and auspicious powers to traditional orientals, and befitting this game, are also symbols of great fortune and luck.Â
This slot is loaded with luck as there are 5 different coloured dragons in this adventure, each manifesting with the promise of bringing prosperity to the adventurer.
Symbols and SoundtrackÂ
The music is very befitting the theme of the game, with all of the tunes typically oriental in nature, enhancing the mystical ambiance of the experience. Sound effects do well to warn of winnings while the animations on every win make this game far from boring, instead keeping you rather entertained.
Each high paying symbol is aptly representative of goods found in a Chinese Buddhist monastery or temple. With icons such as the Temple, itself; the Dragon Temple logo; traditional envelopes; Blue urn/vase; and the Green Koi fish, which is a sacred fish in the orient because of the legend that those that swim and transcend the ‘Dragons Gate’, will turn into heavenly dragons and therefore become bearers of great power and luck, themselves.
Although the low paying symbols are your classical 10, J, Q, K, and A, the style in which they are drawn is reminiscent of traditional Chinese writing.Â
The big symbols to look out for, are however the Dragon ‘wild’ symbols, which when giving you a winning combination, will expand to fill its entire reel, affording more possible chances of completing further winning combinations. The second big symbol to look out for is the Yin Yang ‘Scatter’ symbol, which is the universal eastern oriental symbol for balance in the universe.
Bonus Features
Aside from the expanding ‘wild’ as stated above, the real big winning potential in this game is found in the Free Spins round. This round is activated, when 3 or more scatters appear on the screen. Prior to the first spin in this feature, you will have a choice of how many spins you would like to roll. Each choice offers a variance in how many ‘wilds’ are expanded on the the screen to aid with winning combinations. The choices are as follows:
15 Free Spins + reel 3 (middle reel) completely wild.
10 Free Spins + reels 2 and 4 completely wild.
5 Free Spins + reels 1,3 and 5 completely wild.
Summary
This IGT game will be a treat to lovers of oriental based games, and those who enjoy the more mystical side of life. The game is really well balanced between simple game play, uncluttered reels, and great potential for wins in the free spins round. Give it a go, and embark upon your own Dragon Temple adventure of luck.
