When it comes to gameplay, Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno comes with the Hold & Win feature, Cash Pots, a Pick Bonus, Nudging Wild Multiplier Reels, Stacked Mystery Symbols, and a Buy Feature. The payout is not very high, but players are offered more than one way to have fun and enjoy the Asian
with innovative features and an engaging Asian theme. Set on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, this medium-to-high volatility slot offers players the chance to win up to 2,497x their stake. With a generous RTP of 96.58%, Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno delivers a captivating experience that blends classic gameplay with fresh twists.
Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno is an Asian slot with a 5×3 layout and 243 paylines. It’s one of many consecutive games with Hold & Win but it’s not like the others in the sense that the feature is not overpowering all other features (or is the only thing available). Instead, players are given a handful of other boosters, creating a fun cocktail of boosters and features decked in traditionally recognizable red and golden hues.
Players can place bets ranging from $0.25 to $100 per spin, catering to both cautious players and high rollers. The RTP for the game is 96.58%, which is great. Moreover, players stand to gain up to 2,497x the stake.
To secure a win, you must match between 3 and 5 identical symbols on adjacent reels, hitting one of 243 ways to win. The slot is also not very volatile. The model with medium-to-high volatility strikes a balance between regular payouts and the potential for larger wins. Although, the most common outcome is probably going to be a smaller payout. The game also has the hit frequency of 28.46%, which is lightly lower than other Betsoft titles, meaning payouts are smaller (but may be more frequent).
You can play on any device you want, from a desktop, tablet, to mobile device. Betsoft’s optimization ensures smooth gameplay across all platforms, always.
The game’s vibrant red-and-gold color scheme, coupled with traditional Asian music, creates a very fun atmosphere that reminds us of some of the best Asian slots out there. Okay, it’s not the best Asian slot in existence, but it’s more than decent.
Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno boasts a handful of features: Stacked Mystery Symbols, a Pick Bonus, a Cash Pot, Wild Reel Nudges, and even the Hold & Win. There’s also the Buy Feature.
The Wild symbols substitute for all other symbols except the Bonus icon. Wilds only appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
One of the most basic features in Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno is the Stacked Mystery Symbol. Symbols are represented by red door icons. These symbols appear in stacks, appearing in every reel on the grid at least once. When the reels stop spinning, the Mystery Symbols reveal identical symbols, potentially forming significant winning combinations. However, they cannot transform into Wilds or Bonus symbols, so there’s that.
Reel 3 has a special ability to land the Wild Reel. The Wild Reel appears only on this reel.
However, during the game, if a Wild Reel lands partially stacked on the grid, it may nudge to fill the reel completely. This not only increases the chance of winning combinations but also applies a multiplier to your win. If there’s no win, a Respin is triggered, giving players another chance to land a payout.
Above the reels, a Cash Pot sits. When Bonus symbols land during the base game, one of them can randomly trigger the Cash Pot, which will then activate one of three possible events: a Hold & Win feature, Hold & Win with increased Bonus symbol values, or the Pick Bonus.
The Pick Bonus is a thrilling mini game triggered randomly during the base game. Players select symbols until they match three of a kind, revealing one of the game’s jackpots. The Pick Bonus allows you to trigger only Major, Maxi, Super, and Grand Prizes, excluding the Mini.
There may be other features, but the integral piece of the bonus part of the slot is the Hold & Win feature. This bonus round is activated when you land 6 or more Bonus symbols. If you are familiar with the feature, you know the drill. Players receive 3 initial Respins, during which only Bonus symbols and blank duds appear on the reels. Bonus symbols can either carry a value or a Prize type – Mini, Minor, Major, Maxi, or Super. The prizes can have any value between 1x and 10x.
Each new Bonus symbol resets the Respins counter to 3. However, a Respin with only blanks loses that Respin, and so you get closer to the end of the round.
As the round progresses, the grid can expand to a massive 10×6 layout, increasing the potential for payouts. The grid is also split into four parts, and you unlock the parts one by one by collecting enough Bonus symbols.
For those eager to dive straight into the action without triggering the features organically, the game offers a Feature Buy option for 80x the stake. This grants you access to the Hold & Win bonus round, with the optimal RTP rate of 96.58%.
Ultimate Golden Dragon Inferno: Hold & Win is one of the many slots from Betsoft that carries the Hold & Win feature. The difference between this one and the previous games is that it uses the Hold & Win as one boost, not the entire focus. And it’s also an Asian slot, so most of the features and elements of the game reflect the theme beautifully.
But Betsoft loves Asian slots – from Caishen God of Fortune, through Tiger’s Luck and Golden Destiny all the way to the Fury Dragon, there’s always an abundance of Asia-inspired slots in this library. This infatuation with the theme explains why Betsoft clearly invests more energy into these games than other themes (case in point, Coins of Zeus and Coins of Christmas).
