15 Dragon Pearls: Hold and Win Pokie

Clicking a coin icon near the reels opens a window with all available bet sizes. An online casino player cannot change the number of lines or select any other bet size rather than these indicated in the Select Your Bet section. Choices include AU$0.25, AU$0.50, AU$0.75, etc. up to AU$40 per spin. Winnings in the pay chart are shown depending on the chosen bet size.

There are eight non-feature images in the online casino pokie machine, including low-valued cards J to A and high symbols. Playing cards award AU$0.25 to AU$80, meanwhile thematic symbols pay much better. The potential winnings are AU$160 for golden coins, AU$240 for a golden tree of luck, AU$320 for a money toad and AU$400 for a firedrake. These payouts are specified for five matching symbols. The best cash prize that non-feature icons can generate is as low as x10 the total bet. Some would consider it a laughable amount if not for a fruitful bonus feature to be described below. Besides, the low volatility engine of the online casino pokie provides for frequent, though low, payouts, which is true as well, when you play the mobile pokie version.

The ubiquitous Yin and Yang symbol encased into a golden dragon frame is a substitution symbol. It appears on all reels except for the first one and replaces all regular pics. Its winning power is augmented by its being stacked – not always but still pretty often. The wild does not have its own payouts, and neither does it have a win multiplier. That aside, the Yin and Yang is a very helpful icon in this pokie machine.

A coin-filled red cauldron with a golden seal on its body is a scatter symbol. Its distinction from non-feature imagery is that it lands on the second, third and fourth reels only, and counts in any position. This is to say that it need not land in any particular position to perform its assigned role which involves triggering of free spins. Anyway, three scatters grant 8 spins played free of charge. Before the player begins the free round, the pokie machine pays off the total bet. A newcomer would think these free spins are not worth a plugged nickel as they do not seem to have any additional bonuses attached. However, this is not true since free spins in 15 Dragon Pearls come with an interesting solution making all low symbols disappear from reel strips. Only seven high symbols are present on the reels during free spins. Moreover, there is a possibility to launch a jackpot bonus feature while in this mode.

A Grand jackpot value is constantly on display above the reels and it is equal to the total bet multiplied by x5000. As a bet size changes, so does the jackpot amount. Occasionally, orange pearls with cash prizes displayed on them appear in any game mode. Whenever six of them hit any position, a bonus feature initiates. An online casino player is granted 6 respins, during which only pearls and “+1” symbols appear; the latter adds one respins to the total counter. After every respin, all pearls get stuck to their current places until the end of the feature. Orange pearls carry the values of x1 to x20 the total bet. Green pearls also land on rare occasions and when one comes to the board, it will gather all values from all orange pearls. Finally, a rare blue pearl can hit the board, gathering values from all pearls (orange, green). When the feature comes to an end, the values of all pearls (orange, green blue) are tallied and the player is awarded the relevant cash prize. Grand Jackpot is bestowed on the player when all the 15 positions on the reels are filled by pearls of any color. Should this occur, the related loot will be credited to the player’s balance (x5000 the total bet).

The Asian-themed video pokie uses 5 reels and 25 fixed reels. It has a normal wild, scatter, respins and a fixed jackpot of AU$200,000 at the maximum. The Hold & Win mechanics consists in a unique bonus feature during which a posh prize can be hit. Players from Australia can find the pokie in our shortlisted online casinos.
