DRAGON BOAT QUICK START GUIDE
Dragon Boat is a 5 x 3 reel KA Gaming slot released in 2019. The RTP and variance are not known by us. The slot has 25 paylines with scatter and wild symbols to mention.
The dragon is the mightiest and most revered mythological creature in China. The dragon boat race is a centuries-old sport that we can trace as far back as 2,500 years ago, which is still an ongoing tradition until today.
It is a ritual that started among the fishing communities near the Yangtze River, the purpose of which is to appease the gods. Participants did this so that the gods would give more rains and brighter summer’s for a good harvest.
REEL SYMBOLS
The high-value symbols are:
- Drum
- Rice Cake
- Koi
- Vase
The slot game has five low-value symbols from 10 to A that pay between $15 and $400 at the highest bet. The game’s wild is the dragon boat, and the scatter is the sack of coins.
BASE GAME SYMBOLS & PAYS
Here is the paytable for the slot machine.
| PAYTABLE | ||||
| Number of Appearance in a Pay Line | SYMBOLS | |||
| Drum | Rice Cake | Koi | Vase | |
| 5 | 1,000 | 750 | 600 | 500 |
| 4 | 400 | 300 | 250 | 200 |
| 3 | 100 | 100 | 75 | 75 |
All pays are in currency values, and what we are showing are the highest payouts. The betting window is between $0.25 and $125 per spin.
The slot only pays from left to right. All winning combos must be comprised of three same symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost one, with each symbol landing on a specific spot.
In case you make two possible winning combos on a line, the slot would choose the one combo that has the higher pay. Only that combo will be paid and the other will be ignored.
BONUS GAMES & FEATURES
The game has wild and scatter symbols, which we will explore below.
- Wild – this is a substitute for any symbol that you are missing to make a winning combination. The only symbol it cannot replace is the scatter.
The slot game may stack this wild on a reel. If it does, the wild will change into a photo of four groups of people in four dragon boats. This photo is incomplete, meaning it is part of a much larger photo.
If you manage to stack four reels of wild symbols, all these symbols will make up the complete photo of a dragon boat race.
The wild also pays money as shown below (for the max bet):
- 5x – $1,500
- 4x – $750
- 3x – $150
- Scatter – landing three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the grid would trigger the free spins bonus. You would be awarded 15 free games, and you can no longer re-trigger more bonus spins during this round.
The scatter also pays out money as shown below:
- 5x – $1,250
- 4x – $625
- 3x – 75
This payout is for the maximum bet. The slot game has no jackpot and multipliers. There is also no gamble feature, but there is an auto-play.
Just press and hold the spin button to activate the auto-play. You can choose between 25 to infinity. The slot would spin for the number of times you selected. You can stop this at any time.
SUMMARY
We will rate this Dragon Boat KA Gaming free slot with 6.8 points out of 10. The bonus features are minimal, to say the least. If at all, what players can look forward to is the 15 free games. In it, you can possibly recoup your losses for the previous round if you get some luck, but to be honest in our testing we had no luck at all playing this game.
