Dragon Slots Free Download
Triple Fortune Dragon is not your average Oriental-themed slot and here is my point. There are a lot of developers out there that really over-do the Oriental theme in the online slots market. I’m not going to point fingers (well, ok, I am!) but veteran slots developer Microgaming have more Oriental-themed slots than you can shake a Samurai.
5 Dragons is one of a number of the Aristocrat slot range that started life successfully in live casinos before making the move online. The dragons in the title make an appearance in the free spins bonus feature where you’ll choose from five different colored fire breathers. A particularly ornate dragon also appears on the reels of the base game.
This Aristocrat designed slot has a distinctly Asian feel, featuring a golden tortoise and a golden koi alongside many other symbols related to the Far East. The ‘Reel Power’ format means that there are 243 ways to win for each and every spin.

How to Win on the 5 Dragons Slot
With the ‘Reel Power’ system in place, you’ll win when you can land symbols on three or more consecutive reels from left to right, irrespective on the position on the reels. The ornate six winged dragon is joined by the Koi and a gold and green colored beast in paying out 800 coins for landing the maximum 5 in a row. The tortoise and the two red books both pay out 300 coins for a full house of 5 and the standard symbols are completed by the playing card characters from 9 to Ace.
A green dragon silhouette is the wild during the base game and will substitute for any other symbol apart from the bonus one. This appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.
Every time you land a win you’ll have the option of taking a gamble. You’ll be taken to a screen showing a face down playing card. To double your win amount, you’ll need to correctly predict the color of the playing card, while to multiply your win amount by four you’ll need to correctly predict the suit of the card. Of course, if your prediction is wrong, you’ll lose the entire win amount.
The final symbol is the scatter which is represented by a golden coin. Land three or more on consecutive reels from left to right and you’ll win an immediate payout of up to 50x your total bet, although perhaps more importantly you’ll also enter the free spins bonus round. The start of the feature sees you given a choice of the five following options:
Yellow Dragon – Five free games with any wild substitutes multiplied by 10, 15 or 30x
Blue Dragon – Eight free games with any wild substitutes multiplied by 8, 10 or 15x
Black Dragon – Ten free games with any wild substitutes multiplied by 5, 8 or 10x

Red Dragon – Fifteen free games with any wild substitutes multiplied by 3, 5 or 8x
White Dragon – Twenty free games with any wild substitutes multiplied by 2, 3 or 5x
During each of the free games, the green dragon of the base game will be replaced by your chosen dragon as the wild. Every time a win is achieved using the wild symbol, as well as the amount being multiplied, you’ll also find that you may be awarded additional free spins. You’ll also be awarded additional random prizes if the red books symbol appears on reels 1 or reel 5.
How the Five Dragons Slot Works
Despite having 243 ways to win, the cost of a spin is actually only 30 credits, although you do have the option of increasing the number of credits for each spin to 60, 150, 300, 750 or 900. A handy option at the game is the ‘help’ button, which by clicking continually will show you the pay table, the rules of the bonus feature, how the gamble works before returning you to the game itself.
The slot has a very impressive design. The backdrop of the game features the sea and the sky, although the sky is made up of a bunch of purple spiral patterns, while the sea is represented by swirling lines of waves, with white splashes of water to represent the breaking waves. The reels themselves are nicely designed too with an intricate red and black backing, while the symbols bring much color, the animals and the dragons look perfect with their golden sheen.

Five Dragons Slot Conclusion
Aristocrat has moved many of their live casino slots online and of all these, Five Dragons is perhaps the most impressive. The base game looks good and offers a solid slot experience, although it’s the free spins feature that really gives the slot a boost. With five different choices, you have the option of playing it safe and almost guaranteeing yourself a number of smaller wins with many spins, or really going for it with just a few spins – a boom or bust approach! Five Dragons is a good, highly recommended slot.
As I previously and somewhat grudgingly admitted, I got a bit confused when I saw Aristocrat had released their land-based 5 Dragons slot online because never having come across it before, I assumed it was a cut-down version of the 50 Dragons game. Clearly it isn't! It's actually a 243 ways to win slot game ('Reel Power' as they call it) with a bonus feature reminiscent of the Lucky 88 slot or the Queen Of The Nile 2 title, two other popular Aristocrat pokies from the famous Aussie slot developer.The free spin feature in 5 Dragons is one of those that is triggered by getting the bonus symbols anywhere in view on reels 1, 2 and 3 which isn't my favourite concept as I prefer the 'scatters anywhere' approach. But that's similar to both 50 Dragons and 50 Lions to be fair.
As in the aforementioned slots QOTN 2 and Lucky 88 (both of which are available online) you then get to pick how many spins you want with the possibility of 3 different multipliers on each winning spin when a 'wild' symbol is present in the winning combination. You can go 'low risk' and opt for 25 free spins with a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier (random on each spin) or at the other end of the scale you could go for just 10 free spins with 10x, 15x or 30x multipliers.
What this is effectively doing is allowing the player to set the risk level (often referred to as 'volatility' or 'variance') that they are most comfortable with. Obviously the fewer free spins you select, the lower your chances of a win but, if you hit, its likely to be much bigger. That's better if you have a decent bankroll but if not then at that level, 5 Dragons could eat your money faster than you can say 'Arthur! Just kill the b*st*rd!'.
