15 Dragon Pearls Slot

The game is built on Booongo’s signature Hold and Win mechanics. It makes the game pay the highest award if a player manages to collect and hold a certain number of selected items. In this case it is 15 pearls of the Dragon, one of the most powerful sources of wealth and luck in the Universe. The slot machine is adapted to desktops and mobile devices like iOS, Android and Windows smartphones and tablets. It is also fully compatible with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin so Canadian players would be able to bet in bitcoin in online casinos accepting the currency. To start the journey, players select only a bet size which is adjustable within a broad range from C$0.25 up to C$40 per spin (lines are fixed and there is no need to activate them). Non-feature symbols are cards from J to A (they pay really low wins) and also Coins, Money Trees, Frogs and Dragons which are the best earners paying up to x10 the total bet. A red pot is a Scatter; 3 Scatters on reels 2, 3 and 4 award x1 the bet and trigger 8 free spins. A Yin and Yang icon is a Wild symbol; Wilds do not pay any reward; instead they substitute for all non-feature icons but not for Scatters and bonus icons. Orange, green and blue Pearls are bonus symbols. They trigger a Bonus Game and pay higher wins as compared to non-feature icons. They also trigger the Grand Jackpot during the feature.

Having landed 3 Scatters in any position on reels 2, 3 and 4, players earn x1 the bet and trigger 8 free spins. During free spins only the best paying non-feature icons appear on reels, i.e. Coins, Money Trees, Frogs and Dragons. If 3 Scatters pop up again during free spins, the feature re-triggers and awards 8 extra free spins. No limit on retriggering is referred to in the Terms & Conditions of the game so it is possible to assume that the feature may retrigger as many times as one’s luck stands. During free spins, Orange Pearls may also appear and trigger the bonus game, the best part of the whole game.

Orange pearls not just ooze flames: they also trigger the core feature, the Bonus Game. To start the Bonus Game, players need 6 orange Pearls on reels during the base game or in a free spin mode. When the feature activates, all other symbols disappear and only orange, green and blue Pearls remain and stay on the reels during 6 base Re-spins and all extra Re-spins the game may award. An icon with a +1 sign awards 1 extra Re-spin; this icon disappears in the next spin and may pop up again and again each time awarding 1 extra Re-spin. Each orange Pearl bears a number; this is its face value, or payout ranging from x1 up to x20 the bet in a triggering spin. When a green Pearl appears during the feature, it sticks to the reels till the end of the feature and collects the values of all orange Pearls. These values are added and make up the award paid by a green Pearl. For example, if orange Pearls had values of 5, 10, 12, 16, 18 and 20, a green Pearl would have the value of 81 (5+10+12+16+18+20) and would pay x81 the bet in addition to the payout of orange Pearls. A blue Pearl does the same trick but in a more profitable way: it collects the values of orange and green Pearls and makes up a bigger win out of them. In an example referred to above a single blue pearl would pay as much as x162 the bet (81+81) as an extra to the payout of orange Pearls so the total win would reach 3 times x81 the bet, or x243 the bet. The feature ends when initial and/or extra Re-spins are over or all 15 Pearls are collected. Given a considerably better paytable effective in the bonus game and a chance to hit the Jackpot, there is a good reason to play the game for real money and set the bet as high as possible for a player during the base game (the Bonus Game runs on bet settings selected for base spins).

The best outcome and the highest possible prize of the game and in the bonus game is the Grand Jackpot. It is awarded when any 15 Pearls (orange, blue or green) are collected. The prize amounts to x5,000 the total bet or up to C$200,000 moneywise at the highest stake.

While offering not much of the action, the game is beautifully made, very cheerful and makes a decent attraction in online casinos featuring slots by Booongo. It is a 5-reel slot machine with 25 fixed lines accepting bets within the range from C$0.25 to C$40 per spin and awarding moderate prizes in the base game, up to x10 the bet. It pays better during retriggerable free spins and much better during the Bonus Game. The game also awards the Grand Jackpot of x5,000 the bet under the Hold and Win rules: the prize activates when a player collects 15 Dragon Pearls during the Bonus game.
