Dragon Chase Slot Review

Dragon Chase Slot Overview

Dragon Chase is a 2019 jackpot video slot from Quickspin, set on a 5 reel, 3 row grid with 20 fixed paylines. I get a proper Chinese mythology setup here, with dragons, Jin Chan and the Golden Dragon doing most of the heavy lifting. The big hook is not the theme, mate, it is the mix of Wildfire, free spins and pearl respins.

Game Information

Five reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines keep the pay setup easy to follow. Bets run from 0.20 to 100, while the RTP is listed at 96.39% with high volatility. That is decent on paper, but the high-volatility tag matters. I would not treat this as a tiny balance, endless spinning sort of game.

Symbols mentioned in the reviews include Wilds, Wildfire symbols, Bonus Scatters, Jackpot Scatters and Dragon Pearl symbols. Exact paytable values are not given, so I would check the in-game table before staking properly. Theme-wise, it looks pleasing enough, but the Chinese dragon angle is a bit familiar by now.

Wildfire feature

Wildfire is the bit that gives the base game some life. It can trigger randomly in both the base game and the Free Spins Bonus, adding 1 to 5 Wildfire symbols on any reel. Each one then moves down one position per spin until it drops off the reels, which is a neat little tease.

Up to 10 Wildfire symbols can sit on the reels at once, and they will not replace another Wildfire symbol. The reviews also say these symbols are saved separately for each bet option. Fair enough, that makes bet switching less messy, though the base game can still drag a bit between the better moments.

Free Spins Bonus

Scatters do the bonus work in Dragon Chase. Landing 3 Bonus Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 triggers the Free Spins Bonus and gives 10 free spins. If you land 2 Bonus Scatters on reels 2 and 4, the bonus can add another 3 free spins, which is not bad at all.

Dragon Pearl Respins are where the jackpot side comes in. Three Jackpot Scatter symbols trigger the feature, then 15 independent reels spin separately. Each Dragon Pearl symbol carries a random coin win of 0.5x to 7x bet level, and the slot also has Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpot prizes.

Frequently asked questions about Dragon Chase slots - FAQ

How do I trigger the Free Spins Bonus in Dragon Chase?

You need 3 Bonus Scatter symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4. That awards 10 free spins.

Can Dragon Chase add extra free spins?

Yes. If 2 Bonus Scatter symbols land on reels 2 and 4, the game adds 3 extra free spins in the Free Spins Bonus.

How does the Wildfire feature work?

Wildfire can trigger randomly in the base game and free spins, adding 1 to 5 Wildfire symbols. They move down one position per spin until they leave the reels.

What do we like about Dragon Chase?

Fair play, Dragon Chase has more going on than the usual dragon reskin. I like the respin feature best, mainly because the 15 independent reels and four jackpot tiers give each trigger a bit of pub-table suspense. The free spins are clear, the Wildfire movement is easy to get, and the 96.39% RTP is decent.

Still, I am not totally sold on the theme. It is nice enough, but not fresh, and the lack of mentioned multipliers is a shame. Filling the respin grid with pearls also sounds like it can be a slow chase. I would play it for a relaxed but punchy session, not as a low-risk comfort slot.
