Prosperity Dragon Slots
Feel the forces of yin and yang in this spectacularly designed slot machine by Ainsworth software, featuring some of the most iconic symbols from the world of Far East Asian culture.
The game is laced with 100 paylines over 5 reels, making it a very exciting video slot to play with a potential win behind every spin. On top of that, Prosperity Dragon is stocked with a wide variety of bonus gameplay features, offering free spins with various options for punters to increase the potential win total.
The Legend of the Dragon
The legendary dragon is a central character in Chinese mythology and folklore, bestowed with influential power over the natural elements such as water and fire. The dragon has also been used as a continuing symbol of imperial power as well as strength, wealth and good fortune.
Did you know that successful people in modern China are often compared to dragons? It is therefore no surprise that this game takes the iconic Chinese dragon symbols and places it at the heart of the spinning action. In fact, this dragon icon has been granted wild properties, meaning that it will substitute for other symbols in the game to help create winning sequences.
The other icons on the reels are equally important to different aspects of Chinese culture and history. There are various ornaments such as a dragon carved into jade stone, some golden ornaments and a pillow which features the number 8 – often considered as the luckiest number in Chinese culture. Other icons include a powerful yin and yang symbol and a traditional decorative pattern – the kind that you might find at an authentic Shaolin temple.
Visually, this slot machine is very well put together, using the customary colours of red, gold and black to keep in line with the common oriental colour scheme. The symbols on the reels may not be presented in 3D, but there are perfectly presented with ample use of colour and detailed decorations. The game could perhaps benefit from some traditional Chinese music to really transport players away to the Far East lands.
Place Your Stakes
There may be 100 paylines available to play with in Prosperity Dragon, but spinners can choose to limit their losses by playing with any amount of lines that they want to down to the minimum quantity of 1. Of course, players will be much more prosperous as far as winning spins are concerned if they play with all 100 paylines. Luckily, there is a decent range of different line bet options to choose from, ranging from as little as 0.01 credits per line and going up to as much as 100.00 credits per line.
With the wagers in place, spinners just have to start spinning in hope that they can find some of the following line bet multiplier paying combinations:
Your Choice of Bonus
The biggest wins possible in this slot machine actually come courtesy of the scatter symbol – shown as the pattern icon. This icon will reward total bet multipliers worth 2x, 10x and 50x whenever three, four or five appear on the reels in any position. So, with a maximum total bet of 10,000 credits, players can hope to find a top jackpot of 500,000.
What's more, whenever three or more of these scatter symbols appear, the game will initiate a round of 10 free spins. These free games are played with a different paytable which is slightly less lucrative that the base game payouts. However, this bonus round features some extra gold and silver stars which will act as extra wilds to help make winning formations. What's more, if three or more of these silver or gold stars appear scattered in any position, they will trigger the “Super Choice Feature” and “Ultimate Choice Feature” respectively.
These special bonus games essentially offer different numbers of additional free spins with varying numbers of extra wilds and bonus multipliers. Therefore, players will have to think carefully about the different volatilities that are presented to them to make the most out of the bonus spins.
Prosperous Spins?
Prosperity Dragon by Ainsworth software is a fairly standard video slot machine from a visual perspective, showing a range of different cultural artefacts from Chinese mythology and cultural history. As such, the game might not jump out to punters when placed next to any other slot machine with a similar theme. However, this game is well worth a spin or two thanks to its feature-rich gameplay which gives spinners something to think about with its Super Choice and Ultimate Choice bonus rounds.
