Floating Dragon Hold and Spin Slot Review

Pragmatic Play's Floating Dragon Hold and Spin Overview

When I first sat down with Floating Dragon Hold and Spin I could see straight away it follows the same blueprint as other Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play money slots. You get a 5x3 layout with 10 fixed paylines, set against a bright Oriental style backdrop with flowers framing the reels. Stakes run from 0.10 up to 250 per spin, which suits both cautious testing and the odd higher rolling session.

Under the pretty surface Floating Dragon Hold and Spin is a high volatility machine with a stated max win of 5000 times your bet. Regular line hits can feel quite modest, so the real excitement comes from the Hold and Spin money feature and the separate free spins round with collection multipliers. It launched on 15 April 2021, yet it still feels relevant whenever I fancy a classic cash symbol slot.

How to Play Floating Dragon Hold and Spin

Floating Dragon Hold and Spin sticks to straightforward controls, which I like. I set my stake with the plus and minus buttons beside the spin key, then choose between single spins or an autoplay batch. Wins land when three or more matching symbols hit a payline from the leftmost reel, with the ship paying even for two of a kind. There are only 10 lines, so it is easy to track where wins appear.

Floating Dragon Hold and Spin Symbols and Paytable

In Floating Dragon Hold and Spin the paytable mixes simple card royals with brighter picture symbols. On the premium side you have ship, bird, butterfly, kite and fish icons, with the ship acting as the top regular payer at 200 times your stake for five in a row. Birds follow at 100 times, while butterfly, kite and fish sit below that. A to 10 royals fill out the low end with smaller, more frequent hits.

On top of those regulars Floating Dragon Hold and Spin adds several feature symbols that carry the real punch. The princess acts as a wild during free spins, substituting for pay symbols and collecting fish money values. A dragon scatter symbol triggers the free spins round, while the gold coin money symbol appears only on the central reel in the base game and hold feature, worth between 1x and 20x stake, with separate diamond coins reaching well over 100x.

Floating Dragon Hold and Spin Bonus Features

The Hold and Spin feature in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin is built around those gold coins. When three land stacked on the middle reel in the base game, they lock in place and kick off a special round with three respins. Only money symbols can land, and every new gold or diamond coin that drops resets the respin counter back to three. All visible values are added together at the end of the sequence.

During Hold and Spin in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin you will sometimes see diamond money symbols hitting on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5. These carry much larger awards, starting from 100 times your bet and stretching up towards the game’s 5000 times cap. One neat touch I have noticed is the safety net: if the feature would end with less than 20 times stake, extra respins kick in so you still walk away with at least that.

The free spins round in Floating Dragon Hold and Spin plays out very differently. Landing three, four or five dragon scatters awards 10, 15 or 20 free games, where the princess wild collects all fish money symbols on screen and also gets stored. Every set of four collected wilds retriggers the bonus with 10 extra spins and upgrades the fish multiplier to 2x, then 3x, then 10x. From my sessions this bonus is rarer but can go off in style.

RTP, Hitting Frequency & Volatility – Floating Dragon Hold and Spin

On the numbers side Floating Dragon Hold and Spin runs on a default RTP of 96.71 percent, which is slightly above the common 96 percent mark. There are also versions at 95.67 and 94.62 percent, so I always check the help screen before I commit a bankroll. Volatility is rated high with around 14 percent hit frequency and a 5000 times max win, meaning long dry patches but serious potential when features line up.

Floating Dragon Verdict

For me Floating Dragon Hold and Spin hits a sweet spot between simple line play and punchy bonus rounds. The Asian styled visuals, gentle soundtrack and clear 10 line set up make it relaxing enough for casual spins, while the Hold and Spin money feature and princess free spins can throw out chunky hits. I like the way cash symbols stay centre stage throughout, so you always feel one feature away from a decent haul.

That said, Floating Dragon Hold and Spin is not a slot I treat lightly. With high variance, a relatively modest 5000 times cap and bonuses that can take a while to land, it demands patience and sensible staking. I tend to warm up on smaller bets, aim to hit either one good Hold and Spin or a strong free spins run, then step away. Played that way, it has earned a regular place in my rotation.
