Dragon Dance is a slot game powered by Microgaming, and is themed around Chinese New Year. Oriental slots are always popular but this one perhaps appears less exciting than some when you first play it. But … It offers an interesting payable re-spin features, that provides a different form of betting within the slot framework, and allows players to assess their own odds depending on what symbols land on a spin-by-spin basis. It’s an interesting touch, and along with the Free Spins bonus round makes Dragon Dance well worth a try.
Games
The slot is played in a 5-reel, 3-row format, with 243 possible ways to win on each spin. The base game has 9-thru-Ace playing card symbols, along with higher-value ones that are all Chinese themed. The bet range is wide, from £0.25 up to £125 a spin, and an auto-spin feature has been included to facilitate easy game play. The slot is straightforward to play, but the re-spin and Free Spin features keep it dynamic.
Design
The whole ambience of Dragon Dance is oriental, with the colours, shapes, and designs incorporated into the slot all completely in keeping with the Chinese theme. Standard playing card symbols are adorned with oriental icons, such as a snake, and a fan, and are bold and framed in gold trim. Other symbols include dragons, a stick-wielding dancer, and cymbal player. The reels are set on a Chinese style building and the rich red glow from the background provides a warmth to the game. An oriental soundtrack completes the overall experience.
