Year of the Dragon King
Year of the Dragon King is a Chinese New Year-themed slot by Pragmatic Play, played on a 5x3 grid with 20 paylines. During any base game spin, the reel backgrounds can randomly change colors, and visually matching them all activates one of three bonus rounds. Once triggered, a random number of mini-slot machines appear on the main reels, each featuring an incrementally increasing multiplier that grows with successive wins.
