Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom strike again with yet another Hold and Spin title. This time round, it comes in the form of the Asian-themed, Dragon Hot Hold and Spin. The titular feature is the game’s main mechanic, with all other gameplay elements focused on supporting it.

Fans of the Hold and Spin format will know the deal in this slot. Landing some money symbols with random values attached is your key to unlocking the game’s main Hold and Spin bonus feature. 

Plus, you could go one better and fill the reels up with money symbols in the bonus round to have a crack at the Big Money Wheel Bonus. That’s another potential 5,000x your stake prize to aim for on top of all the money symbols you’ve already collected.

Wilds - Represented by a traditional Asian hand fan, the wild can substitute for all other symbols apart from the scatter or money symbols. Wilds are placed randomly across the reels when a dragon makes a fly-by or the firecrackers at the top of the reels decide to explode. This can happen on any spin and is pretty lucrative too, with a 1,000x your stake payout for landing 5 wilds. 

Scatters - A friendly looking dragon head turns up as the scatter in Dragon Hot Hold and Spin and landing 5 of them will pay out 100x your bet. However, as there is no traditional free spins feature in this game, they play no further part in proceedings. 

Money Symbols - The magical Money symbols can appear anywhere on the reels as diamonds, gold coins or silver coins and will display a random value. Landing 5 or more Money symbols triggers the Hold and Spin feature. 

Hold and Spin Feature - As the slot’s name suggests, the Hold and Spin feature is the focus of the action. Once this feature is triggered, the symbols that did so will remain locked in their positions for the remainder of the feature. 

You start the feature with 4 fortune cookies at the base of the reels, each one representing a spin of the unlocked tiles. Any additional money symbols landing in the unlocked spaces will stick in place and reset the spins back to 4. 

The feature ends either when the reels are full with money symbols or when the spins have run dry, at which point all the values are added and awarded. 

Big Wheel Money Bonus - Filling the reels with money symbols during the Hold and Spin round will trigger the Big Wheel Money Bonus feature. The wheel contains prizes of 10x to 5,000x your stake mixed in with some blank spaces. 

The wheel spins, and you’ll be awarded any prize it lands on before it spins again. The feature is over anytime you land a blank, and all your prizes from both features are totalled up and awarded.

Wild Symbols - Rather than have Wild symbols land like other regular symbols, Dragon Hot goes for a more creative approach. Randomly, dragonflies and firecrackers pop up after a spin has been made, throwing in wild symbols to add more excitement to the board. Apart from stepping in for paying symbols, wild symbols also carry their very own values, with the highest value of 1,000x coming from 5 of a kind.

There are no free spins to speak of here, but the hold and spin function takes centre stage instead. Money symbols come in 3 iterations; diamond, gold and silver and each carry its very own unique rewards. To trigger the bonus feature players will need to land 5 in one spin. 

Upon activating Hold and Spin, money symbols are locked onto the reels, while the rest of the positions re-spin. There are 4 re-spins to be had and only money symbols may land on the reels. Whenever a money symbol does land, the re-spin counter is rest back to 4. The bonus mode ends once all positions have been filled or you run out of re-spins. 

If you do manage to fill in all available spots, then you’ll be presented with the Big Money Wheel Bonus, which is a very nice addition. The wheel consists of blank spaces as well as rewards that vary from 10x to 5,000x your current stake. If you land a paying reward, then the wheel will spin again. If not, the bonus ends and you return back to the main game.
