Floating Dragon Megaways Slot Review

Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin: Slot Overview

As soon as I loaded Floating Dragon Megaways, the Chinese setting, drifting kites and the lady by the reels felt familiar from the first game, just stretched across a much larger layout. The slot runs on six main reels with up to six symbols each and three extra horizontal reels above reels two to five. The top strip holds only wilds or blanks, while the two lower ones can show any normal icon.

Those extra lanes lock and unlock at random on every spin, so the number of active positions keeps shifting. At full stretch you can get up to 147,456 ways to win, with hits paid for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left. The result is a very busy screen where tumbles, money fish, mystery lanterns and the Hold & Spin coin feature give the game a buffet feel.

Floating Dragon Megaways Slot Information

Floating Dragon Megaways is a high volatility slot from Reel Kingdom and Pragmatic Play, released on 26 September 2022. Stakes range from 0.20 to 250 per spin, which suits both low and high rollers. The default RTP is 96.70%, though casinos can pick 95.50% or 94.50%, so I always check the info panel. On paper the slot can hit up to 20,000 times stake, with a published max win chance of 1 in 1,496,522.

Floating Dragon Megaways Symbols and Paytable

On the paytable in Floating Dragon Megaways, the low symbols are simple 10, J, Q, K and A. Six of a kind lines pay between 1x and 1.5x your bet, so they mainly keep the tumbles rolling. Premiums start with fish icons, then a face kite, butterfly kite, bird kite and the top ship symbol. Six ships on adjacent reels can return 50x stake, and they pay from only two of a kind.

The blue wild orb appears only on the very top reel and substitutes for regular symbols, which helps stretch Megaways wins across the screen. A Chinese lantern works as the mystery symbol, turning into a random matching icon when it lands. The red dragon scatter triggers free spins, while gold coins and diamonds carry bet multipliers in the Hold & Spin feature. During bonuses, dedicated fish money symbols show values from 2x up to 5,000x.

Floating Dragon Megaways Slot Features

In Floating Dragon Megaways the reel engine does plenty of heavy lifting. Each spin produces between two and six symbols on every main reel, while the three horizontal strips above reels two to five slide in at the same time. After a win, the tumble mechanic removes the successful icons and lets new ones fall into place. This cycle can repeat several times, and clusters of small hits often feel more common than single big ones.

Mystery lanterns can land in both game modes, turning into a randomly chosen symbol from the paytable. During free spins they behave slightly differently, with extra lanterns able to appear if the lady is present but no fish money is showing. Fish symbols deserve a mention on their own. In the base game they behave like regular high pays, while in free spins they hold money values that sit on the reels instead of tumbling away.

Floating Dragon Megaways also comes with a feature buy where allowed. I can buy the free spins round for 100x stake or jump straight into Hold & Spin for 120x. The underlying maths does not change, the RTP stays on the same setting, but the variance spikes sharply. For my play, that option suits stream-style sessions, while most casual spins feel better taken from the base game.

Floating Dragon Megaways Free Spins and Hold & Spin

Hitting three, four, five or six dragon scatters in Floating Dragon Megaways awards 10, 15, 20 or 25 free spins. Here the lady symbol steps in as a collector. Whenever she lands with fish money symbols, she gathers all visible cash values, from 2x up to 5,000x each. At the side of the reels a meter tracks how many ladies have appeared, and every fourth symbol gives 10 extra spins plus an upgraded multiplier.

Collecting four ladies sets a 2x multiplier on all future fish collects, eight ladies push that to 3x, and twelve award 10x plus more spins. Any further sets of four add 10x on top without a cap, which explains how the slot reaches its 20,000x ceiling. Free spins also have a random firecracker effect that can throw money fish onto the grid when a lonely lady lands with no cash in view.

The Hold & Spin feature in Floating Dragon Megaways triggers when three or more coin symbols land. Those triggering coins lock in place and you start with three respins on a stripped-down reel set that holds only coins, diamonds and blanks. Every time at least one new coin or diamond hits, the respin counter resets to three. Coins can show between 1x and 2,000x stake, while diamonds sit in the 50x to 2,000x band. If the round ends with less than 20x total, the game hands out three extra respins, which can turn a flat bonus into something more respectable.

Floating Dragon Megaways Hold & Spin: Slot Verdict

For me, Floating Dragon Megaways feels like the original slot turned up several notches rather than a brand new idea. The maths is sharp, with a generous RTP model, a chunky 20,000x cap and a hit rate on the top prize that does not look absurd compared with many high-risk games. If you enjoy money collect mechanics and simple hold and win bonuses, this Asian reskin and Megaways twist does the job.
