“You may or may not like China, but you can’t deny they have an amazing aesthetic. The fact that the art-style has persisted in popularity for so long shows the allure of the dragon, and today, we face the king of dragons.”

We were rather excited to get our hands on Dragon Kings because of its simplicity. We’re always on the lookout for something new and exciting and we’re always happy to heap praise on it. After all, look at how far slots have come and how much more enjoyable they are because developers kept trying to push the envelope. But sometimes, you want to sit back and play something familiar, and this Betsoft release looked like the sort of thing that we could settle in our list of permanent fixtures.
Launched in July 2018, Dragon Kings offers gamblers a 5-reel, 3-row playing field with 50 fixed paylines. There aren’t many special features on offer. You have Wilds which can replace any symbol except for Scatters, free spins activated by said Scatters, and the ability to gamble every win to potentially double it up to five times.
There are plenty of ancient wisdoms that Chinese philosophers had passed onto their countrymen, and from there, they have come to us. Confucius’ teachings and the Art of War are important and all, but one must always remember to keep his budget in balance when gambling. The coin denomination goes from $0.01 to $0.20, while the actual wagers go between $0.25 up to $5 per spin, which is pretty good for more low end gamblers, but hardly satisfying for high rollers who might have hoped to score some bigger wins by betting more per spin.
Among the list of game icons, you will find the Dragon King, the Fish, the Turtle, the Crown and the Frog, all wrapped in gold and red gemstones, with striking red backdrops to them, except for the Dragon King, who has a blue backdrop, alongside Coin Scatter, to indicate they’re bonus symbols. On top of these, you will also find playing card icons such as 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, which unfortunately didn’t get any stylizing to make them fit into the theme.
Among the special features that the title offers, you can find a free spins bonus, activated by collecting three Coin Scatters on the reels. Scatters only appear on the second, third and fourth reel, and reward 5 free spins when all three are present on them at the same time. It is possible to retrigger the extra turns by collecting three more Coin Scatters at the same time on the second, third and fourth reel while the bonus is active, which will grant five more free spins and a cash prize worth 4x the initiating wager. While the feature is active, special high pay reels are used with stacked Dragon Kings.
The second, and far less glamorous bonus, is the ability to gamble your wins. Pressing the gamble button will allow players to pick between a black or red cardback. If the choice is correct, the prize is doubled, and this can go up to five times. Failing at any point loses everything.

"It wasn’t quite the game we were expecting it to be, but it’s still a very solid entry by Betsoft. The visuals were top notch, the gameplay and pays were relatively smooth, if a bit boring at times, and the package as a whole provided the simple and profitable gameplay they were going for."
