Floating Dragon – Year of the Snake

The game takes place on a grid we all know and love – the classic 5×3 setup! On these reels, we have symbols pay from left to right, starting from the leftmost one over 10 paylines, with the following payouts:  

• Snake – Pays 200x for 5 in a payline  
• Golden Boat – Pays 100x for 5 in a payline  
• Lantern – Pays 50x for 5 in a payline  
• Letter – Pays 50x for 5 in a payline  
• Coins – Pays 20x for 5 in a payline  
• A Symbol – Pays 10x for 5 in a payline  
• K Symbol – Pays 10x for 5 in a payline  
• Q Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 in a payline  
• J Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 in a payline  
• 10 Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 in a payline  

Wild Symbol – Lands on all reels and can replace any other symbol in a winning combo, but the Scatter.   

Money Symbol – This symbol takes a random value from 2x to 5000x total bet when landing on the reels. These lucrative coins are collected up in the Free Spins round.  

Scatter Symbol – Taking the form of the majestic dragon, the Scatter hits on all reels and triggers the Free Spins.  

Free Spins – This round can be activated with at least 3 Scatters and, depending on how many landed in the triggering spin, you are awarded 15, 20, and 25 Free Spins. You may be lucky enough to get a helping hand from the snake, who might slide down the reels and pull up an extra Scatter if you’ve already landed 2!   

Then, before the round starts, the snake will try to grab bonuses that can be applied to the round. These range from starting at level 2 to more coins, Wilds, and other modifiers! If the snake grabs the shoe, the bonus grabbing session is over and the main Free Spins round will start.  

In this exciting round the Wild Symbol is the one you should keep an eye out for as it collects the values of all Money symbols in view. For every 4 Lady Symbols that hit, 10 extra Free Spins, and a multiplier for the Wilds are awarded to the player. This can happen up to three times, with the rewards increasing each time! There’s also a chance for a lucky firecracker to go off, revealing more symbols for the Wild Lady to collect, if she appears, but no Money Symbols are around to be collected!   

Ante Bet – Enabling the Ante Bet activates a 15x bet multiplier, which causes the gameplay to produce more chances of landing special symbols. The standard multiplier is 10x.  

Buy Free Spins – For 100x the current total bet, you can enter the Free Spins round immediately using the Buy Free Spins Feature on the left-hand side of the screen.  

Betting starts at as low as € 0.10 and can go all the way up to € 375 for those looking to strike at the big wins, just as the snake would. The max win is capped at 5,000x so there is a lot of room for big wins, especially when betting big. The RTP sits at a really high 96.71% for all game modes, so players can expect great money back. The game has high volatility that dishes out wonderful wins to those brave enough to strike with the snakes of the new year!  

Just like we see in the Floating Dragon New Years Festival Ultra Megaways Demo, the world of the East is bursting with colour and excitement. We mention colour, as we really loved the deep crimson skies filled with fireflies and lanterns. This colour scheme is simply stunning to look at and deeply enhances the feel of the game. The symbols are gorgeous and add to the authentic feeling of the slot – and that’s just the standard symbols…don’t get us started on the special symbols! The lady, dragon, and snake bring another element to the experience, as their presence begins to build a small story that we built in our heads as we spun and won!  

For a game with so many features, the Floating Dragon – Year of the Snake still manages to provide easy gameplay that players can follow and enjoy. We love the fact that each entry to the series has something to do with the year it is released, and the care taken to make it as authentic as can be is really noticeable. We enjoyed every second of this super satisfying Pragmatic Play slot!
