Background
The Dragon Ways Multiplier slot game is a pretty traditional take on that classic Chinese theme, and the art and design don’t stray far from that path. The game is set inside a Chinese pagoda with no background except that lucky deep red colour beloved of so many Chinese inspired slots, though the jade green roof and the hanging lanterns do add a splash of colour to the game. The symbols are pretty typical too, and while the low value symbols are the standard 9 – A in the style of Chinese calligraphy, the high value symbols include drums, fans, lucky coins, lion statues and gold ingots. On top of the imagery there is also a traditional soundtrack to entertain you as you play, as well as little animations when you land wins.
The first thing to note about Dragon Ways Multiplier is that it uses a 243 ways to win mechanic, which means you can expect lots more wins than usual. This is usually a trade off with smaller prizes for those wins, but you can actually bag 300x, 400x, 600x and 2000x your stake for the fan, drum, tortoise and money tree respectively, so there are actually some decent wins in the main game too. The RTP is a little lower than average at 95.9%, largely because of the volatile bonus round, but by the same token if you do well there then you can end up very rich indeed!
Bonuses
The main attraction in Dragon Ways Multiplier is the re-life spins, which is a fairly popular mechanic allowing you to have multiple bites at the free spins cherry. Land three to five of the golden dragon scatters and you’ll be given unlimited free spins but with three lives, where each non-winning spin takes a life away. You regain all your lives when you win again, and your last spin is done with the benefit of a wild middle reel to give you the best chance. There is also a multiplier that increases with every win you manage up to a maximum of 100x, starting at between 1x and 5x depending on how many golden dragons you’ve activated in the game.
