Dragon King Hot Pots Slots

Dragon King Hot Pots has a 5-reel gaming grid, set against a dapper green patterned background, and 10 pay lines for calculating regular line wins. Dragon King Hot Pots gets many points for being visually original but with a definite look. The all-encompassing theme is of the Asian variety, with shimmering light abound and a dragon’s head pokes over the reels in different ways depending on how you’re playing the game (shuffle, smack, or otherwise). A dragon king would want no more or less than this star player in the hot pot portion of his cash portfolio to look exactly how it looks. There’s not much more to achieve with presentation than looking at how one might expect an Asian-themed slot by Reel Kingdom to look.

What’s it about? 

Dragon King Hot Pots is a game that brings back the classic mini-slot style from the original release, reviving it with a fresh theme and new features. Reel King was well-known for its unique mini-reel feature, but it became a popular game simply because it was straightforward; if you played it, you understood how it worked. The Dragon King Hot Pots game approach is random, so prepare for it. First, the game has a mini-slot built into it, which might excite you initially, given the bigger prizes attached. You have a random chance of triggering that mini-slot toward the end of the bonus round. Still, hey, if you’re managing to trigger bonuses consistently, you should be getting paid consistently anyway.

The wild pays out at the same generous rate as the coin symbols when you win with a combination of only wilds. The most important part of Dragon King Hot Pots is the mini slot feature, which can randomly trigger wins of 1 or 2 scatter symbols. The mini slots that you have active on the screen keep.

Dragon Theme

You’ll notice a framed 5-reel grid and a similar set of symbols, but this time, it’s set against a sunset lake instead of a mountain backdrop. The soundtrack is quite harmonious and adds to the overall atmosphere. Dragon King Hot Pots is a typical Reel Kingdom slot with dragons and a bamboo flute soundtrack. The 5-reel grid is framed by a gate and sits above a lake with ominous red clouds in the backdrop. Golden Chinese signs are engraved there, and the dragon’s head is visible above the grid in portrait mode. 

Betting and Payout Options

The top-paying symbols are the golden coins. They will award you with a great 60 times your bet for 5. Next are the lanterns, which pay 15 for the same. The royal symbols are of an Asian-inspired design, and pay between 3 and 6 times your bet for 5. You can spin from $0.05 to $125, making it appropriate for casual players and high rollers. The wild replaces symbols, and if you get a nice win of wilds, they'll give the same as the best top symbols at 60 times your stake.

Mini Slot Feature  

The primary attraction is the mini-slot bonus feature. It can trigger with 1 or 2 scatters. The mini slots maintain their spin only if you win, and they stop after the bonus round. At least 3 mini slots will be seen if you enter this round. The feature will continue as long as any of the active mini-slots are on the screen, and the only way to deactivate any of the mini-slots is to hit a blank. When the bonus finishes, you'll spin one last time to see if you can win 2,500 times your bet per spin.

Bonus Round

Landing 3 scatters in view activates the Bonus Round, where all triggering scatters convert to mini slot machines. The mini slots keep spinning, delivering wins that are, not surprisingly, amid a show that’s more bizarre than enchanting. The free spins round continues as long as you have active mini slots going, and I can’t even remember their names, but the slots do seem to know when to keep slotting.

You can activate the mini-slot feature in the normal game, which some players will likely appreciate. They're not providing big-time wins between bonus rounds with only 1 or 2 mini slots in the base game. Their addition in this round is simply to top up the player balance between bonuses to avoid making the player inactive. They’re doing the chores of the erstwhile slot attendant who would seemingly help pay up and keep the player going.

If you weren’t enthralled by the other Dragon King game when it came out, it’s unlikely that Dragon King Hot Pots will win you, either. The reverse is also true: if you were enchanted by the last Dragon King, you might find this one equally entertaining. Gamblers who aren’t afraid of themes that express an Asian inspiration might find the slots here appealing. Likewise, you will love this game if you like the number eight. Twists and turns abound in yet another Reel Kingdom adventure.
