Slot Review: Eastern Dragon

Enter the dragon! Eastern Dragon is an understated and tasteful online slot offering by Vegas Technology. As “understated” and “tasteful” are not too adjectives that we normally use in association with slot titles, this game was a welcome respite indeed. Those who enjoy the very popular Asian/Oriental theme in their slot gaming but are sick of the normal, in-your-face barrage of cherry blossoms, geisha, ninjas, and pagodas will gravitate naturally to this title. Granted, those who like to make money probably won’t dislike it, either!

Eastern Dragon is a five-reel, twenty-payline online slot machine title. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to ten dollars, with max coins of twenty making the highest per-spin wager one of two hundred dollars, with one coin bet per payline. The jackpot is three thousand coins. That’s a very respectable prize, especially when one considers that, on a maxed-out bet, the jackpot is thirty thousand dollars! Software provider Cryptologic also offers the Eastern Dragon title, with slightly different bonus features. That makes this game very unique.

The reels of Eastern Dragon are set on a black background, with crimson lanterns framing the action. Firecrackers, paper lanterns, and koi appear on the reels, along with letters and numbers in a simple shade of gold. The dragon appears on reels one and five only, and is the wild symbol. It doubles the payout of any combination it completes. Additionally, if the dragon appears on reels one and five at the same time, you win fifteen free spins during which all wins are tripled.
