Game Overview
Maybe I’ve missed something over the last couple of years, and unofficially perhaps it’s been the Chinese new year of fishing and hold & spin themed slots instead of the tiger and rabbit, respectively. That would indeed explain the never-ending amount of games currently being released in those particular genres, at least. So, here we are again then, this time with Pragmatic Play and their slot titled Floating Dragon Boat Festival. This is a 5 reel game with 10 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.07% and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.
As is often the case with slots that fall into this category, the base game is a little sparse, with all the action and RTP saved for the bonus features. Speaking of which, we have a free spins round triggered when three or more scatters appear in view. Land the fish simultaneously with the princess to reel in the wins and progress along the meter. We also have a hold & spin feature activated when a minimum of three cash values hit the reels. You’ll begin this bonus with 3 respins, which reset each time a new cash symbol lands in view. Keep your fingers crossed, as some of these values reach up to a whopping 2,000x the bet.
Are you ready and prepped to try out yet another online slot boasting a fishing theme? Sure you are; I can see you chomping at the bit, raring to go. So, why not try out our free demo slot of Floating Dragon Boat Festival, it’s available to play on all devices below.
Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Upon a quick Google search, it informs me that the most remote place on Earth is The volcanic island of Tristan Da Cunha in the South Atlantic Ocean. So, unless you’ve been living there for the last three years, you will have no doubt played or at least heard of Pragmatic Play and their never-ending supply of fishing-themed slots. Granted, Floating Dragon Boat Festival isn’t an exact clone of the highly successful Big Bass Bonanza games created by Pragmatic and their besties Reel Kingdom, but plenty of elements are certainly the same for it to be classed as a semi-clone at the very least. If you want to experience a Megaways version of this game, check out Floating Dragon Megaways, which has up to 147,456 ways to win.
It’s time to take a look at those all-important pays, and the highest value symbol in the game is the Dragon Boat, which is worth 200x bet for a five of a kind win. Next, we have the Drum valued at 100x bet for a completed line of five, followed by the Banana Leaves and Flag, both of which award 50x for a full payline. The last of the premium symbols is the Fish, with these paying 20x bet if five hit across a payline. Onto the lower pays, and these come in the form of five royal symbols, with the Ace and King both paying 10x the bet for a complete payline of five, and finally, the Queen, Jack and Ten, all of which will pay 5x bet for a five of a kind hit.
The betting range on Floating Dragon Boat Festival is very comprehensive; I have to say. Players can start spinning the reels from just €0.10 a spin, with the game’s highest stake reaching a mind-blowing €250. It’s the number of options between the minimum and €2 I was particularly impressed with, as this is the region the majority of online players will choose from. There’s a total of 14 options available in this range, so regardless of your bankroll, there’s no reason you can’t get a good session of spins on this slot.
Base Game & Modifiers
All gameplay on Floating Dragon Boat Festival takes place across a 5×3 reel set with a total of 10 fixed paylines in play. Generating a win requires at least three matching symbols to land, starting from left to right, with these also needing to hit across an active payline.
Floating Dragon Festival Boat Slot Bonus Features
There are two bonus rounds that can be triggered within the game, and the first of these is the free spins feature, activated when 3, 4, or 5 scatters land in view, awarding 10, 15 or 20 spins, respectively. The second of the bonuses is the Hold & Spin feature, which awards 3 respins if 3 or more cash symbols land during the base game.
Free Spins
During the free spins feature, each time the wild princess symbol and the fish money symbols land on the reels simultaneously, the princess will collect the values and add them to your balance. Furthermore, for every 4th wild collected, you will receive 10 extra free spins, and your win multiplier will increase up to a maximum of 10x if you reach the end of the collection meter.
Hold & Spin
All triggering money symbols ranging from 1x – 2,000x bet are held over into the hold & spin feature. When a new money symbol lands in view, not only will your spin count reset to 3, but all values in view will be added to your running win total. The feature will end if you hit three consecutive losing spins.
Bonus Buy
Those playing from a jurisdiction where the bonus buy buttons are active can trigger either of the feature rounds instantly at the cost of 100x the current bet.
Pros
- Max win of 10,000x bet.
- Two bonus rounds can be triggered.
Cons
- It's all been seen a million times before.
Floating Dragon Boat Festival Slot Review Final Thoughts
The duo of Pragmatic Play and Reel Kingdom will go on to make hundreds more outstanding games in the gambling industry, that's for sure, but as far as Floating Dragon Boat Festival is concerned, this, for me, is just a filler slot. I will, however, say that the max win of 10,000x is very good, and if you are a fan of these style of slots, you might just want to check the game out for a few spins at least and see if you prefer it to the dozens of others available on the market.
