How Dragon Pearls works

Dragon Pearls is a classic online casino slot machine. It has been published by online gaming provider Booongo since March 2019. This slot is inspired by the Asian universe and more particularly China with a dragon as the main character.

It features a classic reel operation with 5 reels of 3 rows and 25 paylines. The reels are triggered and show different symbols. The payout rate to Dragon Pearls players is up to 95% and it can be described as a medium volatility machine with a payout of up to 1,000 times its initial bet.

The different symbols of Dragon Pearls

11 different symbols can appear on the grid:

• the Yin and Yang symbol as a WILD: it appears anywhere on the reels and replaces any other symbol except the Scatter and Bonus symbols.

• the cauldron filled with gold as a Scatter (pays x1 for 3 identical symbols): it only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and triggers the free spins bonus function when 3 of them are combined.

• the pearl as a Bonus: it appears anywhere on the reels, indicates a random value or that of the jackpot Minor (x30) or Major (x150) and triggers the Hold&Win bonus function when at least 6 of them are combined.

• the dragon (pays x10 for 5 identical symbols).

• the golden frog (pays x8 for 5 identical symbols).

• the golden tree (pays x6 for 5 identical symbols).

• gold coins (pay x4 for 5 identical symbols).

• the classic symbols A, K, Q and J (pay x2 for 5 identical symbols).

The different connections in Dragon Pearls

Many connections are possible on Dragon Pearls. Indeed, there are 25 payment lines that you can find on the image below. Whether they are lines, diagonals or simple hits, there are many ways to win. You need to line up between 3 and 5 symbols from left to right to win.

How the Dragon Pearls bonus works

When 3 Scatter symbols appear on the reels, the free spins bonus function is triggered. 8 free spins are awarded. Classic symbols cannot appear on the reels during this function. If 3 new Scatter symbols land on the reels during free spins, the function is re-triggered.

During the basic game as well as during free spins, the Hold&Win bonus function can be activated. If at least 6 bonus symbols appear on the reels, a new interface is revealed. The pearls used as bonus symbols remain in place while all other symbols in the grid are removed. 3 respins are allocated with empty spaces and only new pearls can be placed in one of the empty spaces. Each time a pearl takes up an empty space, the respins counter is reset to 3. Once the respins are completed, or when all the boxes on the screen are filled, the values in the pearls are added together for a high earning potential. If all 15 positions are filled, the Grand Jackpot (x1,000) displayed at the top of the screen is also won.

Our opinion about Dragon Pearls

Known and recognised for its classic slot machines and its Book of Sun collection, the game provider Booongo is immersing itself in Asian countries for its Dragon Pearls production. In addition to the traditional free spins bonus feature, this slot is also enhanced by a special bonus feature that promises cash winnings and jackpots for every pearl revealed. A feature that was inspired by Pragmatic Play's well-known Pirate Gold Deluxe.
